title: Texas will see red during Drug Free America Week.
abstract: Betty Haisten is the living image of refinement. But that doesn't stop her from cornering the manager of a cafeteria in her hometown of Beaumont and putting pressure on him to use his facility as a distribution point for red ribbons encouraging patrons to "Join me--I'm drug free." She is a woman with a cause, a moving force behind Drug Free America Week in Texas. And, with the members of the nation's largest medical association auxiliary and their spouses behind Mrs. Haisten, Texas will see red--red ribbons--Oct 22-29. The Texas Red Ribbon Campaign is designed to establish a coalition in every community in support of drug-free lifestyles. This article describes how Texas Medical Association and TMAA are supporting the campaign's goal.
