back of Washington."
The British rangers, according
to Young, were concealed in a
fringe of woods between the
American and British lines. Dur
ing a lull in the battle, Washing
ton rode directly in front of Fer
guson's position . and . remained at
point-blank range while coolly
surveying the British lines.
As Washington turned to ride
back to his own lines, Young
writes, Ferguson stepped out of his
hiding place and confronted
Washington with a demand that
he surrender. Washington stared
coldly at Ferguspn..ancVJtiJs now
visible ,, troop, then turned and
rode slowly away.
"Halt!" shouted Ferguson,
leveling his rifle at Washing
ton's departing back. But, in
stead of stopping, continues
Young, he merely ignored the
command and rode toward his
own lines. Ferguson watched the
man for a moment, then lowered
his rifle and ordered his troop
not to fire.
Why didn't the ranger fire? j will be a senior in the fall having

partial explanation: "It was not
pleasant to fire at the back of an
unoffending individual, who was
acquitting himself very coolly of
his duty so I let him alone."
Young concludes that if Wash

fear, instead of the icy courage i
that he did, the story might have
ended differently the story of

Blood Donors Needed To Save Lives
By CONNIE GORDON
Society Editor
They're out for blood
and
proud to admit it!
The Red Cross is asking for
blood volunteers again for an ob
vious and important reason.
One pint of blood has meant the
difference between life and death
in many cases for men injured in
Korea. And donations will have to
continue as long as the war de
mands more of the life-giving
fluid the Red Cross announced.
But that isn't the only reason
for blood, donation. The Red Cross
is stock-piling blood in case of
suddert attack or unforeseen
emergency. The blood you give
now will either go to Korea to
help our boys there or stay here
in stock pile in case of such emer
gencies. Any University- student may
donate blood if he meets the fol
lowing Re,d Cross requirements:
1. The student must be in good
health.
2. He must be between the ages
of 21 and 60. If he is younger, he
must have his parents' consent.
3. The student must, weigh 110
pounds or more.
4. If he has given blood before,
he must wait a period of three
months before donating again.
The Red Cross bloodmobile will
be in Lincoln Tuesday, Feb. 26, at
the Scottish Rite Temple, 15th and
L streets.
All students interested In giving
blood should fill out .the applica
tion blank available at the Red
Cross office, Room 306 in
the
