Texas Has Large
Vitamin A Source
Texas range forages even when
dead • or dormant were found to
contain considerable amounts of
carotene, according to a paper pre
sented by Dr. A. R. Kemmerer of
the Agricultural Experiment Sta
tion at t|ie Memphis meeting of
the American Chemist Society,
April 22. Dr. J. F. Fudge and Dr.
G. S. Fraps were joint authors of
the paper with Dr. Kemmerer.
Carotene is the substance in
plants that is converted into vita
min A when it is fed to animals.
Most of the dead or dormant for
ages contain not less than 4.0
parts per million carotene.
This amount of carotene is en
ough to satisfy the vitamin A re
quirements of range cattle; which,
according to work done at the
same Experiment Station, is 1500
micrograms ’ of carotene per 100
pounds of live weight. Sumac and
kafir silage also contained appre
ciable amounts of carotene; en
ough if the silage is fed in quan
tity, to meet the maintenance re
quirements of cattle.
The dried forages do not supply
enough carotene for milk produc
tion by dairy cows. Dairy cows
need nearly a million micrograms
of carotene daily to produce butter
fat high in vitamin A. This can be
obtained from almost all of the
green forages analyzed. For a
source of vitamin A green forages
are the least expensive and most
abundant, the scientists found.

“TARGET FOR TONIGHT,” the
film made by the British Royal
Air Force about itself, plays today
at Guion Hall. There will be no
show at Guion Friday because of
the Cotton Pageant festivities.
“Target for Tonight” is a true-
to-fact dramatization of an air
raid on German oil fields. Its “ac
tors” are boys and officers from
the R.A.F. Thfe details of the
bombing raid, are shown from the
time the reconnaissance planes re
port with aerial photographs to
the ■ time the bombers accomplish
their mission and return to Eng
land.
Throughout the picture, there is
no evidence of ‘heroics,” and play
ers and scenes are all shown as
they actually are—a definite nov
elty for movie-goers.

Naval Air Corps Requirements
Lowered to Admit High School Grads
For the first time in the history of the Navy air branch,
educational requirements for applicants tior cadetship and
commissions as aviators have been lowered to allow the en
listment of high school graduates and 18-year-olds, it was
announced Saturday by Lieutenant Commander Barry Hol
ton, senior member of the naval aviation cadet selection
board. ^
“Heretofore,” Commander Holton said, “Navy aviation
requirements have been such as tcf 7

demand two years of college edu
cation from the applicant. The
lowering of the requirements is
directly caused by the rapid expan
sion of the fleet air arm and the
speeded-up war program.”
Age limits on applicants for
naval aviation training have been
lowered to include youths 18
years of age, Holton revealed.
The previous requirement was 19
years.
Commander Holton, quoting the
announcement from superior of
ficers in Washington, said: “The
age limit for applicants for naval
training is now 18 and they may
be graduates of accredited second
ary institutions and high schools
who are desirable officer material
and physically qualified and who
demonstrate aptitude for flight
training by passing’ an aptitude
test.”
Holton pointed out that appli
cants under the new age limit and
educational requirement must
furnish a transcript of their high
school credits, three letters of rec
ommendation and birth certifi
cates amj passport type photos of
themselves.
If they are under 21 years of
age, they are required to have
the written consent of their pa
rents or guardians.
All applications for Texas and
Oklahoma for navy flying under
the new plan will be made as usual
through the Naval Aviation Cadet
Selection Board in the Allen Build

Secretary Knox
Appeals to Colleges
New Orleans, La., April 29.—
Emphasizing the importance of en
listing 80,000 college freshmen
and sophomores to meet the
Navy’s future officer needs, Sec
retary of the Navy, Frank Knox,
has telegraphed the heads of 1,000
colleges and universities urging
that they give the newly announc
ed Class V-l their whole-hearted
support.
Secretary Knox said that
through Class V-l, the U. S. Navy
is counting upon the nation’s col
lege freshman and sophomore
classes to provide future officers
for the U. S. Navy.
He stated that Class V-l which
enables those who enlist in the
Navy to continue their education
at least until the end of their sec
ond year, is “democracy’s intelli
gent and practical way of meeting
America’s urgent need for thou
sands of young college-trained of
ficers without breaking down our
educational standards or forget
ting future needs for trained men
for civilian life after the war is
won. ’
. Approximately 400 colleges and
universities already, have agreed
to participate in the V-l program
which offers the colleges the spe
cial plan by which under-classmen
between the ages of 17 and 20 may
enlist as apprentice seamen but
can at the same time stay in col
lege.
