Gymnasiums, Auditoriums And Park
Buildings Among WPA Constructions
WPA workers have built or ex
panded 3,442 public buildings in
Texas, an average of more than
thirteen structures for each of the
state’s 254 counties, it was reported
today by State Work Projects Ad
ministrator H. P. Drought in a
review summarizing six years of
accomplishments by the Federal
agency.
Headed by 646 completed school
buildings, the list of construction
and rehabilitation work finished by
WPA workers included such items
as 577 gymnasiums, auditoriums
and park buildings and 87 munici
pal and county administration
buildings.
Still a standout among single
items of work accomplished un
der the WPA program, Drought
said, is that of road building which
extends into all but two of the
counties of Texas. Ninety per cent
of the 29,546 miles of WPA-im-
proved roads serve largely rural
areas, criss-crossing the state in a
network connecting major state
highways.
Pre-emergency defense work
completed by WPA workers, in-
dition. Call 2-7174 aft

did not let up for a single minute.
The Rice Institute band and Ag
gie band provided entertainment
for the spectators during the game.
Just before the game began the
Rice band paraded on the field and
played the “Star Spangled Banner”
while the capacity crowd of 30,-
000 stood at attention.
At the half the famous Aggie
band proceeded on the field and
went into their famous marching
routine. In their first formation
they formed the word “Rice” and
switched into the word “Owls”,
playing the Rice fight song all the
while. Facing the Aggie section,
the band formed “Texas Aggies,”
playing the Aggie war hymn.
The Rice Institute band follow
ed the Aggie band on the field.
Playing the Aggie war hymn they
formed “Aggies” and th/en “Owls”
with a rendition of the Rice fight
song.
Soon after the beginning of the
second half the public address sys
tem announcer surprised the spec
tators with the fact that the Tex-
as-T.C.U. game was tied at seven-
all. With a minute left in the game
the Aggie Cadet Corps gleefully
gave “Lizzie,” the A. & M. victory
yell, and settled down with the
satisfaction of knowing that the
Cadets had hung up their eighth
consecutive victory of the year.
How the Fighting Aggies trounc
ed the Owls 19-6 in their fifth
straight conference victory and re
tained the undisputed conference
lead is now history, and everyone
is pointing to the Texas game with
a gleam in his eye.
Immediately after the conclus
ion of the game in Rice Stadium the
loud speaker was turned on to the
Texas-T.C.U. game and the spec
tators heard those last eighteen
seconds which were so fatal to
the Steers. The Aggies and follow
ers went wild with joy when they
heard the news of the Texas defeat.
The finish of the game marked
the opening of the victory cele
bration which lasted far into the
night. The Aggies were happy
with two thoughts in their minds
-the Aggie victory and the Texas
defeat.
And so ended the Houston Corps
Trip. The Aggies gloriously ad
vanced themselves nearer to foot
ball fame—the surprise team of
the Southwest conference—and the
corps will never forget the Hous
ton Corps Trip and the defeat of
Rice, 1941.
eludes the construction and mod
ernization of 32 Texas airports and
landing areas, Drought reported,
adding that many of these flying-
fields now figure prominently in
this state’s defense preparations.
In the field of public health much
of WPA’s activity has centered
around the construction and re
habilitation of sewage disposal
and water purification and distri
bution systems, 139 such utility
plants having been built or en
larged. In connection with these
projects, 875 miles of storm and
sanitary sewers have been install
ed and 718 *miles of water mains
and distribution lines completed.
More than 82,000 acres of mosqui
to-infested lowlands have been
drained and in rural areas disease-
breeding insanitary sewage facil
ities have been replaced by 108,226
pit-type toilets.
Conservation work listed by
Drought involved expansion of 18
Texas fish hatcheries and con
struction of 58 flood and erosion
dams and 32 storage dams.
Fifty-five Texas cities have used
WPA labor to construct swimming
pools. Also available to sports-
lovers are 37 WPA-built golf
courses and 146 stadiums, grand
stands and bleachers. WPA work
ers have developed 737 parks, play
grounds and athletic fields during
the past six years.

ment, an awakening is taking place
to the south and our Spanish
speaking neighbors are gradually
taking over their own industries.
Contrary to the argument of
many economists, the United States
does need Latin American agricul
tural products. Our coffee, rubber,
tobacco, chicle (for chewing gum),
and even sugar and tea come from
South and Central America. They
also need and want our flour,
beans, apples, and lettuce. They
want to buy our industrial pro
ducts. Says Isidore Fabela, presi
dent of the Mexican Free World
association, “. . . The United States
should reach an agreement with
the southern republics to buy their
raw materials and to sell to them,
in return, on an equitable basis,
such commodities as they need.”
If Hitler wins in Europe, Latin
American trade with Europe will
be open only to Nazi terms. There
fore, it will be necessary for the
western hemisphere to work out a
system whereby this continent can
make use of its resources for the
benefit of the people who live on
it. We must be self sufficient!
