TRY THIS: put a pack of Luckies on a pedestal—under glass.
Observe closely for several days. What happens? Not a
thing. You've just learned the hard way that an unsmoked
Lucky is simply Waste Taste! Light it, and it's simply
wonderful. You see, a Lucky is made better to taste better,
It's packed end to end with fine tobacco . . ,
mild, good-tasting tobacco that's TOASTED
to taste even better. Don't just wait around—■
light up a Lucky. You'll /say it's the best-
tasting cigarette you ever smoked!
DON'T JUST STAND THERE ,
STICKLE! _
MAKE-*25
Sticklers are simple riddles with
two-word rhyming answers. Both
words must have the same number
of syllables. (No drawings, please!)
We'll shell out $25 for all we use—•
and for* hundreds that never see
print. So send stacks of 'em with
your name, address, college and
class to Happy-Joe-Lucky, Box

and safety at the Nevada Teat
Site of tha Atomic Energy Com-
inission
Dr. Caraway flew to Mercury,
Nevada, with three others connec-
ted with AEC. Two were Okla-
homa A&M professors and the
other from the United States Pub-
lic Health Service office in Dallas.
During his stay in Nevara, Dr.
Caraway visited the actual site of
previous tests of nuclear devices'
by the AEC and was given other,
general information about the
tests, along with aboi.it 40 other,
scientists and physicians from all
paits of the nation.
This summer Dr. Caraway will.
work with the commission in a-
series of full-scale'nuclear tests.
"Somp tests will be set off from
steel towers 300 to 500 ft. high,"
he says. "Some devices will be .set
off with emphasis toward peace-
time use of nuclear energy such as
a reactor."
"A reactor," he continues," is
taking a piece of radioactive mat-
erial, putting- it in a completely
shielding- enclosure, and allowing'
the radiation to produce hes-t h>.
its disintegration to produce ener
gy-"
• The Tarleton professor's main
interest this summer will be to
study the biological effect of ra-
dioactivity.
Bomb Blasts
Dr Caraway says another pro-
ject of the Commission this sum-
mer will be placing a i-onib in a'
"walking-cane shaped tunnel" to
see whether the balst can. be con-
tained in the tunnel,
"We will study radioactivity on
the subject of protecting the pub-
lic such as from fall-outs." Dr. I
Caraway says that "fall-outs" are
the radioactive dust particles pick-
ed up by the bomb blast. They are
carried into the i-ir, and after sev-
eral miles, settle, back to the earth
attached to rain droplets, snow,
etc.
Dust In Los Vegas
"Once a person ate a snowball
with radioactive dust in it," lie
says, "but it did not harm him."
He added that there have been no
casualties thus far as a result of
the 31 test detonations. The1 Nev-
ada Test Site, a 150 mile area, is
in a relatively un-populated area.
Meteorologists, however, always
try to set the time for a blast so>
that he wind won't blow the radio-
active dust into Los Vegas or
other . populated areas.
Unique Experience
Dr. Caraway says .that he visit-
ed ' Los Vegas while he' was ill-
Nevada. "It was ■ quite an . experi-
ence to be in a city that has open- •
gambling," he commented. "Th
resort hotels are fabulous, and
the top performers of television
and movie are in this area."
The Goldtlnvaite native says
that cn the return trip to Dallas
that his plane was landed by in-
struments. "This was a unique ex-
perience for me. When we were iit
the air, all I could see below was
a cloud that looked like snow. The
sky above, however, was a pleas-
ant light blue,"
