Graham Writes On The Art Of Friendship By Judy Graham Friendship is golden so they say, and authors are constantly writing best-sellers on how to win friends and the personal satisfaction that one friend can give another. Since I don’t have the audacity to classify myself as an author, I find it much simpler to relate my chief fault; and in so-doing, I will reveal one of the most effective ways of losing these life-time pals; namely, run into your friends, stumble over them, knock them down, and an even more “sure-fire” method—stomp on them! This art of running into your friends can truly be called inherent in most people. Of course, I have heard of a few cases in which the individual became very adept after constant and diligent practice; but these cases are rare, and the out come is usually not too successful The tools that one needs to per form artistically the act are also bestowed upon us by nature. The main implements needed are as fol lows: 1. The ability to look directly at a person and never even see him. 2. The power to make build ings, trees, and other immobile ob jects suddenly loom up out of no where. 3. And most important, : pair of big, clumsy feet. Besides the tools, time is also an important factor to be considered in staging a successful knock-down. I’ve found that the most antagoniz ing time is found when the victim has his arms full of packages and bundles. The most inappropriate situation is found when he has a Coke or some other liquid substance in his hand—unless, of course, you have a good raincoat! Take for example, my Salem roommate’s first impression of me. I’m sorry to say it was not too favorable. I was trying to be so helpful — lugging up to our new room some of her clothes, suit cases, boxes, and all the other paraphernalia that a freshman feels necessary. We had almost emptied the car and I was coming back for a final load. I saw my room mate coming down the walk—at least, I assumed it was her though I couldn’t really tell for the con glomeration of unrelated things she had in her arms. She was really loaded to the hilt with various articles of cloth ing, books, and a box of under clothing. Thrown in among all this were two rugs, a picture and pic ture frame, three stuffed animals, a hammer, and a clothes drying rack. Then, perched upon her head were three hats which were now almost at right angles with her head. Yeah, I saw her; no one could miss such a sight—but since it was ME, and with high heels on, Salem’s beloved cobble-stones, and Fate, I should have known I couldn’t win against such odds. I tripped and sent my new-found companion sprawling. Books went flying in all directions; freshly pressed clothes fell in a heap with the white “Y” dress on the bottom; the picture frame shattered and Roomie was buried beneath rugs and stuffed animals. This would have been bad enough in itself, but the box of “unmen tionables” was scattered from Cle- well’s front door to the feet of a group of eligible young men! I don’t think I need to go further into detail to show just how run ning into people can turn them away. I only put all of this into print so that others may benefit from my mistakes. And by the way — does anyone have an extra roommate?

T^OR more than thirty years we have used research day in and day out learning about tobaccos and cigarettes in the public’s interest. Continuously we and our consultants have analyzed, experimented with and smoked all kinds of tobaccos... especially Southern Bright, Burley, Maryland and Turkish cigarette to baccos. Our own cigarettes and competitive brands have been submitted to the most exacting scientific scrutiny including thousands of anal yses of millions of pounds of tobaccos. From all these thousands of analyses, and other findings reported in the leading technical journals, our Research Department has found no reason to believe that the isolation and elimination of any element native to cigarette tobaccos today would improve smoking. For four years we have maintained in the smoker’s interest an intensified larger scale diversified research program. A half-million dollar 30-ton machine, the world’s most powerful source of high voltage electrons, designed solely for our use has tested tens of thousands of cigarettes. This program has already given to us direct and significant in formation of benefit to the smoking public. Our consultants include Arthur D. Little, Inc. of Cambridge, Massachusetts, “one of the largest and most reputable industrial research organizations in the country” (From Business Week Magazine) and eminent scientists from leading universities. Today the public can confidently choose from a variety of brands — by far the best cigarettes ever made by the tobacco industry. 3 Brands Tested and Approved by 30 Years of Scientific Tobacco Research Copyright 19M, Lkcitt ft Mras Tobmw Ca
