Rehabilitation
Planned for All
Physical Rejects
Steps are being taken toward
the physical rehabilitation of all
Selective Service registrants in
Texas who have been rejected for
military services because of ac
tive or inactive tuberculosis, Gen
eral J. Watt Page, State Selective
Service Director, announced.
“To the Nueces County Tuber-
• culosis Association, with head
quarters and principal clinic at
Corpus Christi, goes the credit for
taking the lead in a proposed state
wide program for providing free
medical attention for all regis
trants who have been rejected by
their local boards or by the Army
Examining Boards because of tu
berculosis. With proper care and
medical attention, a large percent
age of these men could later be
added to this Nation’s supply of
manpower for military purposes.
And our country needs every
man!”
General Page said that the Nue
ces County Tuberculosis Associ
ation, which is staffed by volun
teer physicians and has one full
time nurse for home calls, will
work with the local Selective Serv
ice boards of that county and with
the State Health Officer in its
rehabilitation program.
“Registrants, on their part,
should realize their obligation for
duty to their country and should
avail themselves of every possible
means to make themselves fit to
serve. It is recognized that some
of these men cannot be cured to
the extent of qualifying for mili
tary service, but certainly they
owe it to themselves and to their
families, as well as to the better
ment of the general health of this
state, to apply for medical treat
ment,” the director declared.
It will be required that all in
formation furnished by the local
boards to bona fide tuberculosis
associations or clinics cooperating
in the program shall be held in
strictest confidence, General Page
added.

THE BATTALION
-TUESDAY MORNING, MARCH 17, 1942
—TRACKSTERS—
(Continued from Page 3)
Watkins also won the high jump
at 6 feet, 5 inches, and took third
in the javelin.
Albert Ricks scored 10% points
for the Aggies by winning the
pole vault, taking second in the
broad jump, and tying for second
in the high jump.
Two of the most exciting races
of the day were the 880 yard run
and the mile. Aggie sophomore
Joe Vajdos won the 880 after be
ing pushed by his teammate, Bob
Garrett, for a lap and a half. Lit
tle Johnny Ziegler took the lead
in the mile and kept it all the
way to win over Petty of San
Marcos and Aggie Red McGlorth-
lin.
The Aggie freshmen, competing
unofficially, showed up excep
tionally well. The 440 relay team
of Anderson, Frye, Wolf, and
Kennemer outran the varsity in
the excellent time of 42.9 seconds.
In an exhibition 100 yard dash,
these same four finished in almost
a dead heat, with Wolf being de
clared the winner. Tommy Winn
and Ben Stout won unofficial
third places in the 880 and shot
put, respectively. Frye and Wolf
also teamed up with Harnden and
Battin to win over the varsity in
the mile relay. The time was 3
minutes 24.9 seconds. From such
indications, the Aggie fish should
repeat as champions of the Fat
Stock Show meet in Ft. Worth
this coming Saturday.
A steady south wind hindered
the longer races.
Col. Anderson was starter for
the races.

Musical Meanderings
: By Murray Evans
I’m doing this piece about Bing
Crosby mainly because he’s such
a national favorite and because
most any out-landishly nice thing
I might say about him will go un
challenged. It’s a neutral one in
deed who never gets into hot
water, sooner or later, when he
puts his thoughts into the printed
word. Be he a swing addict, then
swing is glorified to high heaven
and sweet tune lovers immediately
bounce on his neck with any
amount of vilification. And vice
versa.
But, enough of the scribe and
his tribulations, and back to the
original proposition—Bing Crosby.
Bing makes more money than
anybody else in show business.
Various estimates center around
$250,000 as his yearly intake. (And
that ain’t hay. At least you never
see it sticking out of barns.)
But instead of being placed in
the typical monied-baron class,
more or less despised because of
their vast accumulations of un
earned increment, Bing is univers
ally liked. Everybody who has ever
worked with him likes him im
mensely because of his affability
and unaffected bearing. Bing is
capable and extremely influential.
He can get most anybody he wants
on the radio or to work in pic
tures with him, and not a few
hopefuls have had their “big
break” as a result of Bing’s ef
forts.
But most of all, Bing is capable.
Probably no other popular singer
has ever possessed a wider voice
range. Remember how he took the
difficult “Sunrise Serenade” in
stride? Then there is “Serenade In
Blue”, on most singers taboo list
because of its extremeties in the
high and low. Bing does it without
batting an eye—even better than
you think you do mornings in the
bath-tub.
When Crosby does a tune, then
it’s made. He bars nothing, hill
billy, lullabies, folk tunes, or what
have you. Just last week he did
“Deep In The Heart of Texas.”
That particular number doesn’t
even have a bridge, consists of one
repetitious theme, and got itself
branded as hill-billy from the start.

But when Crosby did it the listen
ing public sort of gulped and
wanted to know whoever started
calling it hill-billy in the first
place. And then big bands began
arranging it and playing it to
death—a fate to which all popular
tunes are susceptible.
Two months ago he did an old
stand-by, “Meloncholy Baby,” long
since shoved back into the discon
tinued library. And he sang it
with only two violins, a guitar, and
a bass back of him. But it was so
good that he has had to do it twice
since, with the same set-up as the
first time. It’s strictly first-rate.
