Consolidated Mothers Club Presents
Birch the Magician in Assembly Hall
By L. Winstead
Continuing their program of
sponsoring entertainment that ap
peals to the entire community the
Consolidated School Mother’s Club
is bringing two showings of Birch
Magician to the Assembly Hall on
Monday, March 30, Mrs. Prank
Anderson, president of the club
stated yesterday.
An outstanding part of the pro
gram is that members of the audi
ence will be used in many of the
illusions. Equipment, scenery and
effects valued in excess of $25,000
are carried and will be seen at the
assembly hall Monday.
Most baffling is the famous
Hindu rope trick, which for centur
ies has been the most talked of
and colorful of all feats of leger
demain. An ordinary piece of rope
is tossed into the air, it remains
rigid, a Hindu boy climbs the rope,
and in the twinkling of an eye dis
appears.
Slicing a beautiful girl into four
parts, shooting a live canary into
a burning light bulb, walking
through a sheet of solid steel,
causing a live pony to vanish in
mid-air, and many other startling
mysteries will be presented by this
master magician and company in

Jerry Heim, sophomores, and
Misses Dorothy Dillingham, Marg
aret Kirby, Marjory Ann Mon-
agham and Mary Louise Williford,
freshmen. These girls will wear
white dresses in the Cotton Pag-
eaent and will carry corsages of
red rose buds using a patriotic
theme of red, white, and blue.
After their arrival the social
committee was received in the lob
by of Breckenridge hall at TSCW
and were taken to dinner by a
group of girls there. They were
then given tickets to the Redbud
festival where they viewed the
floor show and picked the sixteen
girls out of the 100 represented
there. They invited these girls to
breakfast the next morning where
they had an opportunity to see
the girls in street clothes and
make their decision as to which
one would be the queen.
Redbud Dance
After the floor show the com
mittee attended a dance which was
given in the new union building
on the TSCW campus. Other
guests of the school for this dance
were 100 soldiers and 25 British
flyers invited from neighboring
army camps.
Members of the social committee
are E. D. (Gene) Wilmeth, king
cofton, Howard Brains, social sec
retary, D. W. James, assistant so
cial secretary, M. L. Brenner, J.

Cheap Fertilizer Bags
Exposed by Thornton
Five million burlap and cotton
bags are being wasted in the Un

tons of useless matter is being
hauled around the country, accord

Brazos, Grimes County Women Learn
About Automobiles in Driving Course
-TUESDAY MORNING, MARCH 24, 1942
Symphonies andSwing
Both Please Soldiers
Carburetors, pistons, valves,
sparkplugs, distributors and other
parts of an automobile are no
longer mysteries to 39 Brazos and
Grimes County women, for they
have just completed a course cov
ering the component parts of an
automobile and how to fix them.
This was the trouble shooting sec
tion of the women’s driving course
offered under the auspices of the
A. & M. National Defense Council,
of which Dr. C. C. Hedges is
chairman.
With Prof. Fred R. Jones, head
of the agricultural engineering de
partment, in charge, the group met
twice a week for three-and-a-half-
week period for lecture demon-
istrations on the detailed oper
ation of the mechanism of an auto
mobile and how to recognize and
correct motor troubles. The course
proved so interesting that often
the session extended an hour or
so beyond the two-hour period de
signated for each class. Discus
sions were backed up by actual
demonstration in the showrooms
where Prof. Jones and his assist
ants, Don Christy and F. W. Piek-
ert, operated the different type
motors and gave a close-up view
of what happens when unfavor
able conditions exist. A written
final examination completed the
course.
Under the direction of Prof. C.
H. Groneman and C. N. Hielscher
of the industrial education depart
ment, the women had previously
completed sixteen hours of study
in the driving laws and principles
of safe automobile operation. This
safe driving section of the driv
ing course was opened with a writ
ten “Traveler’s Quiz,” which
served as a good indicator of what
the average driver does not know
about proper and safe driving. An
actual driver’s test similar to the
one given to applicants for driv
ers’ licenses, completed that sec
tion of the course.
Those completing the driver’s
course, which is a pre-requisite

unit, and a jazz band which pro

During February the three mus
