Enemy Doesn’t
Need Planes For
Sabotage - Ehlers
“We have quit talking about
defense now and are talking about
only fighting and winning the
present war,” Gibb Gilchrist, dean
of the school of engineering at
A. & M. told over 100 municipal
and sanitary engineers as he wel
comed them yesterday morning as
the twenty-fourth annual water
works course opened at College Sta
tion.
Water Places Army in Texas
V. M. Ehlers, chief sanitary en
gineer, State eHalth Department,
Austin, spoke on several important
points among which was that ail
water works engineers should look
to the future and prepare their
plants to take on a much larger
capacity. “The water supply is a
prime factor in the selection of
a site for a cantonment, and I must
say that we have been favored in
the placement of many such camps
in Texas,” he said.
Ehlers complimented the cities of
Coleman, Brownwood and Miner
al Wells for the work they had
done in getting prepared to meet
the situation when the nearby
camps were established.
Plants Can be Sabotaged
He repeated the advice of last
year that all water works plants
should be protected at all times.
“Just because we live in West
Texas somewhere we say we will
never he bombed but the possibil
ities of .bombing fade into insignif
icance when the surprise angle of
sabotage is considered. The enemy
does not need any airplanes to
sabotage your water supply.”
“This group was a year ahead
of the Civilian Defense in protec
tion of the city water supply,’ he
said, recalling that a year ago the
body in the meeting here advo
cated fencing all reservoirs and
floodlighting them fo radditional
protection against sabotage.
Singapore Depends on Water
Ehlers then related how Hong
Kong fell to the enemy because
the water supply failed and how the
safety of Singapore depends up
on its water supplies and stock.
Many European countries have
camouflaged their water supplies
and in some instances have moved
their control rooms underground.
In this connection he paid a comp
liment to the way the engineers at
the Galveston water works had
planned so that they could immed
iately black out their plant and still
operate at full speed.
—ONE LESSON—
(Continued from Page 1)
uniform must be worn at all times
except when participating in ath
letic activities. It must be worn at
meals when more than two guests
other than his family are present.
Aggies are able to save a con
siderable amount on the purchase
of their uniform as most of the uni
form worn here may be worn after
they go on active duty.
The campaign hat, blouse, sam
browne belt, woolen shirt, and gar
rison cap, saber chain, and slacks
may be worn on duty with the
army.
The serge slacks probably can
be used until they are worn out,
Major Bennett added. The rain
coats in use here will probably be
regulation at the post to which the
oficer has been assigned if they
are of a color conforming to the
army raincoats.
Savings May be Made
A great saving may be effected
on the purchase of additional art
icles of uniform by waiting and
buying them at the post exchange
or from the quartermaster at the
post. He may buy a small trunk
locker at the post if he does not al
ready have on in which to store
clothes.
No white shirts are worn with
the blouses at the present time;
instead, the khaki shirts are worn
minus the collar ornaments. In
signia may be bought from the
post exchange at a considerable
saving from the cost at stores off
the post.
No Civilian Clothes Needed
Major Bennett advised the sen
iors not to buy too much uniform
prior to reporting, but to wait
until they are at the post and pur
chase any articles they need from
the post exchange or from the
quartermaster. He also said that
it was inadvisable to take any
civilian clothes to the post to which
they are assigned for duty as they
have absolutely no need for them.
He advised leaving all civilian
clothes at their homes where they
would be better taken care of than
at the post.

CAL M. GRAHAM,
EX-STUDENT, RUNS
FOR REELECTION
Cal M. Graham, commissioner
for Precinct 1, Brazos county, to
day announced his candidacy for
re-election for a third term as a
member of the Commissioners’
Court.
Mr. Graham’s precinct includes
the Country Club and College Sta
tion areas as well as the Wellborn,
Millican and Harvey districts.
There are approximately 350 miles
of roadways to maintain in his pre
cinct, and these have been kept
passable in all weather.
A lifelong resident of Brazos
county, Mr. Graham attended Bry
an high school and Texas A. & M.
College. He served in the U. S.
Army in 1918.
In addition to the road mainten
ance work directly under his su
pervision, Mr. Graham has been
hauling commodities from Austin
twise a week for distribution to
the needy of the county. During
the cotton mattress-making cam
paign Mr. Graham’s motor equip
ment was used freely to haul cot
ton to the two mattress-making
plants at Millican and Harvey.
In asking re-election, Mr. Gra
ham said: “I am offering my can
didacy on the record of service
and devotion to duty already dem
onstrated by my first three years
as a commissioner of Brazos coun
ty*
“I believe I have a full under
standing of the problems of Pre
cinct 1, Brazos county, and I feel
that the experience gained in the
past three years will assure the
residents of this community of a
continuation and a broadening of
the service they may expect from
their commissioner.
“During the years I have been
honored by the office, we have
operated on a very reasonable
budget of expenditures. Needed
road maintaining equipment has
been purchased and this equipment
has been kept in first class work
ing order. Every section of the
precinct has been given equal
service and the tax rate has been
reduced from $1.25 to $1.05 on the
$100 valuation. We also believe
satisfactory progress has been
made to equalize property valua
tions on a fair basis.
“Since the operation of the com
missioners’ court has been carried
on in a business-like manner so
successfully, the present policies
will be continued. The nation, the
state and this county is passing
through critical times. I feel that
to disturb a smooth-functioning
agency of government at the pres
ent time would be a risky proced
ure. It has been a privilege and a
pleasure to serve the people of
Brazos county, and I pledge a con
tinuation of the service I have
been privileged to give when re
elected.”
