Let It Be Known
If You Know of
Anyone Who’s Had This
Do you know of anyone who has
had Strepiccoccus Yeridans Sept
icaemia Endocarditis?
A nationwide search is now being
made by the Variety Clubs of Tex
as and North Carolina for a per
son or persons who have been
afflicted with, and cured of, this
dread disease. There is a young lady
in Charlotte, North Carolina, suf
fering from this disease and her
life depends upon the success of
this search which is being made in
an effort to secure transfusions of
blood from those few cases in the
United States that have been cured
of this particular strepticoccic in
fection.
If you know of anyone who has
been cured of this malady, or of
anyone you think might have had—
and been cured of—streptococcus
veridans septicaemia endocarditis,
please get in touch with Charles
Tigner at the Campus Theatre.
Where Pre-Meds May Finish Schooling
Construction of New Phi Chi Medical Fraternity Home
At Galveston Is of Interest to A. & M. Pre-Med Students
Construction has begun near -
East Beach, in the medical cen
ter here, on an $85,000 home for
the University of Texas chapter of
the Phi Chi medical fraternity.
The new home, made possible
by an association of fraternity
alumni which conducted a drive
for financing the project, will pro
vide accommodations for about 50
medical students.
It is planned that, during the
summer months, the home may be
rented to a selected clientele.
The building site consists of an
entire block fronting on North
Boulevard, midway between the
new East Beach Park and the med
ical college and hospital, and only
two blocks from each. The site
was purchased from the Rosenberg
Library Association. The chapter
house will consist of three units,
including two dormitory wings and
a central lodge hall which ties the
dormitories into a quadrangle. The
building will be two stories in
height. It will include a lounge
room, dining room, kitchen, man
ager’s quarters and library on the
first floor of the main lodge, a
game room, a dance pavilion and
lecture room above. There will be
a large court.
The architecture is of contem
porary design, with open balconies
for passages and cross-ventilation
in all rooms. Thompson H. Mc-
Cleary of Houston is the architect,
and the Texas Gulf Construction
company the general contractor.
The building movement is spon
sored by Zeta of Chi Phi Benevo
lent Association, Inc., a non-profit
association composed of members
and alumni of the fraternity. The
association’s purpose is to assist
worthy young men who are stu
dents at the University of Texas
Medical College “to better perfect
■themselves in the medical arts.”"
The Galveston chapter, Zeta, is one
of the oldest in the fraternity, hav
ing been founded in 1893. The
fraternity has chapters in all Class
A medical colleges in the United
States and Canada. Active trus
tees of the alumni project include
Drs. Paul R. Stalnaker, Lyle J.
Logue and Edward W. Griffey of
Houston, Dr. Lee Rice of San An
tonio and Dr. Sam G. Dunn of
Lubbock.
Referring to the new project, Dr.
John W. Spies, dean of the medical
school, said Saturday: “The uni
versity commends the efforts of
the alumni and friends of the med
ical branch and the Zeta chapter
of Phi Chi in bringing to the vi
cinity of the campus a building
to make life pleasant and whole
some for many of the medical stu
dents. The spacious living quar
ters will make for better condi
tions under which some of the
young men live, and there is no
doubt that the structure will be
reflected directly in the education
al and moral life of its occupants.
The facilities of this building
should enhance the development
of those so fortunate as to have
access to them. To the many illus
trious physicians, many of whom
are alumni of this school, who have
sacrificed to make this building
possible, we express our gratitude
and appreciation.”
The construction of an $85,000
home, near the East beach in Gal
veston, for the University of Texas
chapter of Phi Chi medical frater
nity will probably be of interest to
the A. & M. pre-medical students
who .plan to enter a medical school
next October. The foundations
have already been laid and the
building is expected to be com
pleted and ready for use during
the latter part of this summer.

More than three farms in 10

the REA are bringing electric

Extension Service—
(Continued from Page 2)
prepared for continuation of the
screwworm control program in
1941, - and agricultural agents in
affected counties will actively en
gage in it.
In 1940, 4-H club entomology
was expanded and an appreciable
number of boys participated in this
activity, which is built around an
annual contest held at the short
course at College Station. As a
result of 4-H entomology club
work carried on in 28 counties
throughout the year, 269 boys
were trained by agricultural ag
ents to recognize and control some
of the more common pests preva
lent in their respective counties.
The Extension Service cooperat
ed with the U. S. D. A., and the
State Department of Agriculture
in a grasshopper control program
in which 70 counties participated.
Most of the activity centered in
the Panhandle area where migra
tory hoppers were the chief con
cern, and in northern and western-
central counties and in the Black-
land section south to Fayette
County, where an infestation of
crop ‘hoppers necessitated a con
trol program. Texas farmers who
used bait numbered 3,582. There
were 6,263,^506 acres of rangeland,
6,305,288 acres of pastureland and
10,753,293 acres of cropland bait
ed, and 76 mixing station in op
eration during 1940.
From a very small seed planted
indoors about January 1, one can
grow within a 12-month period a
papaya tree-like plant 10 feet in
height which may produce 100 or
more melon-like fruits.
HATS OFF TO MELODY
NO. 1 BRASS HAT—of the radio regiments is Glenn Miller, according to a recent poll of
the nation’s radio editors. Miller’s special way of serving song and swing has caught the fancy
of American dancers more than any other band today, the editors agree. Nope—those aren’t
trench helmets the sliphorn boys are swinging, though the Miller hand salutes the army
camps three times weekly on its "Chesterfield Moonlight Serenade.” It’s a C. B. S. program.
