DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME
Daylight saving time becomes effective
on February 9, 1942.
The purpose of daylight saving is to
conserve electric energy and human en
ergy, but since the schedule for students
extends from 6:15 a. m. to 11 p. m., at
both which times the use of artificial
light is necessary, no more effective use
of daylight would result to the student
from starting the day one hour earlier
at this time of the year. All activities
of the College are coordinated with the
student schedules.
The following regulations will be effec
tive at midnight February 8, 1942:
1. College clocks will be changed to
conform to the new time.
2. On the same date the schedules
of all College divisions, including Agricul
tural Experiment Station, Extension Ser
vice, and Forestry, will be one hour later
by new clock time; i.e., classes sched
uled for 8 a. m. will meet at 9 a. m. by
the clock; office hours will be 9 a. m.
to 6 p. m. ; the noon hour will be 1 p.
m. to 2 p. m. etc.
T. O. Walton,
President.

-THURSDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 5, 1942
Aggie Shakes Hands With King George
It must have been that “thrill of a life time” for Pilot Officer W. H. Baker, Jr., (arrow) when he
shook hands with King George of England who was inspecting Baker’s unit with Queen Elizabeth
recently. Baker was a junior in A Coast Artillery last year before he went to Bakers Field, California,
for his flight training. From California he went directly to London, England, and joined the RAF.
Defense Health, Emergency Medical
Care Program Begun by Health Dept
By The State Health Dept.
AUSTIN, Texas.—In a special
message from Washington, where
he had gone to confer with na
tional officials on civilian defense,
Doctor Geo. W. Cox, State Health
Officer, who was recently named by
Governor Stevenson as chairman
of Defense Health and Emergency
Medical Care, today urged that
every citizen of Texas register im
mediately for some type of civil
ian defense activity.
“The urgency of immediate
civilian defense training is sure
ly apparent after what has hap
pened to the peaceful civilian popu
lation in our Pacific Island pos
sessions.
“The grim reality of a total war
declared against our people by a
treacherous enemy changes vague
plans for future defense into a
present and urgent necessity for
immediate action.
“The time for good intentions
has passed,” Doctor Cox stated.
“This emergency makes action im
perative. I know the people of
Texas are ready and eager to
serve, and the time for service
has arrived.”
Outlining the three phases of
civilian defense that he believed
should be instituted at once, Doc
tor Cox included first air train
ing, the organization and train
ing of nurses’ aides, and emergency
sanitary corps for every commun
ity.
“These duties are the personal
responsibility of every man and
woman,” Doctor Cox said. “No
one else can shoulder them for you.
Communicate immediately with
your Mayor or County Judge, both
of whom are acting as civilian de
fense coordinators.”
In cities and incorporated towns,
Mayors are serving as civilian de
fense coordinators, while in rural
districts, or unincorporated towns,
the County Judges are acting in
overshoes—low quarter. Return to Alvin
Vener, 413 No. 2 or 4-9294.
LOST-—Green Parker fountain pen.
Name on side. Please return to George
Cljapapas, F-13 Hart. Usual reward.
LOST—Small black bag. Left on Bryan
corner about 3:30 Saturday. Will any of
Aggies who were with me at the time con
tact me. Cunningham, Room 328, Dorm 2.
FOUND—Will the person who lost his
wrist watch Sunday afternoon claim it at
Room 222, Dorm 2.
FOR RENT—Room for rent, private en
trance, one block from Post Office, next
door to Church of Christ. Call Mrs. W. D.
Lloyd, phone 4-4819.
FOR RENT—In College Park room with

Phone Mrs. Taubenhaus 4-9159.

ed.
“Every resident of every com
munity in Texas should communi
cate immediately with his civilian
defense coordinator, and accept
those duties which will enable him
to best serve his country during
this crisis.

Musical Meanderings
By Murray Evans ■
The remarkable success of
Tschaikowsky’s “Piano Concerto”
has lifted Bobby Worth, composer
of its lyrics, to the top of the list
of songwriters. Worth attributes
its success largely to the fine re
cording made by Freddy Martin’s
orchestra. Besides the Concerto,
Worth is also the composer of
“Do I Worry” and “ ’Til Reveille.”
More than 400,000 records of “Do
I Worry” have been sold, the Ink
Spots taking the credit, as is their
usual wont with so many recent
ballad numbers.
Worth has some definite ideas
on present war tunes as contrast
ed to those of the last war. He
thinks that the public is more
sophisticated than it was in the
last war and that it will respond
much more readily to tunes like
“My Sister and I” and “ ’Til Rev
eille” than to the more rollick
ing World War 1 hits such as
“Tipperary,” “Katty,” and “How’re
You Going to Keep Them Down
Galley 4
On the Farm.”
Certainly there will be a defi
nite need for love songs and novel
ty numbers as an escapist means,
to divert war-weary minds and to
inject humor and sentimental ap
peal, as a tonic, into a people gear
ed to the monotony of war.
Cero Ball Is New
Addition to Social
Calendar for Spring
Something new has been added
to the social calendar. The Cero
Ball, which will take place on Feb
ruary 14, is the brain-child of the
Aero and A.S.C.E. clubs. The two
campus organizations are combin
ing their efforts to make it a suc
cess.
Aero students should especially
take notice, because the dance is
listed as the A.S.C.E. Ball in the
social calendar. Toppy Pearce and
his Aggieland Orchestra will fur
nish the rhythm and several bus
loads of T.S.C.W. beauties are ex
pected to furnish dates for those
C. E.’s and Aero’s who are too
bashful to drag their own.
