The deaths during the summer of G.
C. “Red Wing” Palmer, ’15, and Wil-
liam “Bill” Sartain, 20, of Corpus
Christi and San Antonio, took from
the ranks of A. & M. two of the best
known and best loved men. Both
were active workers for the College
and the Association in their localities.
Both were young men in the prime of
their lives. As we grieve with their
families over their untimely demise
we are comforted by the thought that
they lived unselfishly, serving others
as well as themselves even in this
day of a swiftly moving world.

rE
George C. Palmer, former
County Agent of Nueces County
with headquarters at Corpus
Christi and familiarly known as
“Red Wing”, died in Corpus
Christi July 13, of heart
trouble. He was one of the
most active A. & M. men in the
State and loved by everyone
who knew him. Graduating in
1915 he taught vocational ag-
riculture for a time in Cotulla,
served as County Agent in Live
Oak County for a number of
years and then as County Agent
of Nueces County until the
spring of 1926, when he re-
resigned to enter the real es-
tate business in Corpus Christi.
He is survived, according to in-
formation at hand, by his wid-
ow and young son, three broth-
ers and his father. One of his
brothers is S. A. Palmer, ’17,
County Agent of Baylor Coun-
ty. Thousands of A. & M. men
will grieve with his family over
the loss of the beloved “Red-
Wing,” one of the most popu-
lar men ever to attend A. &.
College.
JIM PORTER, ’19, SLOWLY
RECOVERING FOLLOWING
SERIOUS ACCIDENT
After ten weeks in the Holdenville
Hospital at Holdenville, Okla., Jim
Porter, ’19, is able to sit up enough
to write a letter. He got tangled up
with a high pressure air compressor
some ten weeks ago and came out of
the argument with his left leg brok-
en in four places. He has been in a
plaster cast ever since but is hoping
to be able to sit up in another month
or so. Jim is still as cherry as ever
in spite of his terrible accident and
asks to be remembered to all his
friends. It wouldnt do any harm
for some of the 1919 gang to drop
Fim a line and give him some news
while he is spending those long days
in the hospital.

Southwest Texas Aggies Extend
Warm Welcome to College Visitors
at San Tone, Laredo, Harlingen,” Corpus
Tourists From Aggieland Find A. & M. Clubs Active and
Meet Hundreds of
“Old Boys”
on 1200
Mile Jaunt.
San Antonio, Laredo, Rio Grande
Valley and Corpus Christi neighbor-
hood Aggies greeted a party from
College in really warm A. & M. style
when they made a trip to that part
of the State early in the summer. In
the group of trippers were Coach D.
X. Bible, Dr. J. O. Morgan, head of
the Agronomy Department, James
Sullivan, business manager of ath-
letics and Secretary McQuillen of the
Association. Enthusiastic A. &
meetings were held at each of the
above mentioned points and excel-
lent turn-outs were the rule.
Laredo was the first stop with a
meeting arronged by H. B. “Pat”
Zachary, 20, and Ranger Captain
“Skeeter-Bill” Stirling, 07. An ex-
cellent banquet was enjoyed by those
present and a general round-table of
discussion was carried on for several
hcurs. From Laredo the trippers
drove to the Valley where a giant
valley-wide meeting was staged at
Harlingen with over fifty men pres-
ents ATT. Potts, 707, 0% "Harlingen,
presided over the meeting and talks
were made by each of the visitors.
Paul Cowan, ’24, of Donna; Pat De-
vine, ’12, and Bob Briggs, ‘17, also
made short talks. H. G. Weinert,
’13, of Brownsville, spoke for his del-
egation and several high school vis-
itors were introduced as prospective
Aggie students. The meeting was de-
clared the most successful ever held
in the Valley and was attended by A.
& M. men from all over that section!
of the State.
At Corpus Christi the following
night another crowd of fifty or more
was on hand. A banquet that had
been previously planned was cancelled
because of the death of ‘“‘Red-Wing”
Palmer a few days before. The meet-
ing was held quietly with Nixon As-
key, "21, and Frank McLendon, ’27 in
kharge. Visiting delegations were
present from Alice, San Diego, Chap-
man Ranch and other neighboring
cities. Talks were made by the vis-
itors and by Nixon Askey and by L.
A. Pierce, 22, of Alice.
A visit to San Antonio in time to
the San. Antonio Club at
their annual barbecue and picnic end-
ed the trip. The San Tone affair
was under the wing of Percy Waring
and nothing was lacking to make it
a success. John Swope, "15, Geo. Knox,
'14, Bill Orth, ’13, and “Dad” Royer,
’13, distinguished themselves with
their serving ability and likewise their
consuming powers. The officers in
camp at San Antdnio were honor
guests of the occasion and several
were on hand with their wives. After
the barbecue was slaughtered an im-
promptu meeting was held with Ralph
Soape, ’09, presiding. Several of the
visitors were introduced and short
talks were the order of the program.
The evening was finished off with a
dance. Over two hundred Aggies and
their families were present.

ANOTHER BUSINESS MAN
LIKES ENDOWMENT PLAN
When Mr. J. J. Walden, President
of the Southwestern Engraving Com-
pany of Ft. Worth, heard of the new
Endowment Plan and had it explain-
ed to him he immediately took out
four units and said it was the best
thing of its kind that he had ever
seen. His company is one of the
largest of its kind in the South and
his endorsement is another proof of
the practicability and soundness of
the Endowment Plan. He is not an
A™ & M. man but is interested in
what the Association is trying to do
and felt that the new plan was an
excellent means of helping out a good
thing.

A new member of the Association
is M. Sorrell, 2nd., 26, who is with
Sorrell & Cordray, cotton buyers of
Wharton. Sorrell took the Cotton
Marketing and Classing course at A.
