Havard Prof
Sees New Light
On the Future
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.—(AGP)—
Ignoring war’s turmoil, Harvard
university’s professor of geology,
Dr. Kirtley F. Mather, launches
the cheerful prediction that the
human species probably has a 500,-
000-year future and that the
earth’s resources are bountiful
enough to keep mankind going for
millions of years.
No need to worry that man’s
specialization of, brains will be his
downfall, as the dinosaurs’ over
specialized bony armor plate is
supposed to have helped along
their extinction, Dr, Mather de
clares.
Man needs to act with more in
telligence, and to increase his abil
ity to see in advance the remote
consequences of contemplated ac
tion, the geologist concludes.
If homo sapiens is an average
species of the earth’s creatures in
longevity, the human race that
now rules the earth is still young
with a mere 50,000 years to its
credit. Our golden age, if any, is
in the future, Dr. Mather fore
sees. After a half million years
more of existence, our type of
mankind may either exit via a
blind alley or develop into a de
scendant better adjusted to en
vironment than we are.

Here is a facsimile of the ap
plication for War Ration Book No.
1 which will be filled out for every
person in Bryan and College Sta
tion and Brazos. County during the
National Registration Period, May
4 and 6. Registration of individuals
and members of families will be
by school teachers and their help
ers in the elementary schools. All
members of family units may be
registered by any one member
over 18 years old. Individuals who
are not members of a family unit
must register in person. One of
the applications must be filled out
for each member of the family and
each individual, and each will be
issued a War Ration Book.
Applicants for books are urged
by the Office of Price Administra--
tion to study carefully the appli
cation above, and have the correct
answers when they register.
If the questions are answered
promptly OPA estimates it will
only take four minutes to fill out
each form.
It is necessary to know to the
pound just how much sugar is in
the possession of the household.
The amount of sugar will be di
vided by the number of people in
the Family Unit? and stamps will
be torn out by the registrar for
all sugar in excess of two pounds
per person. If more than four
stamps have to be removed, issu
ance of the book will be withheld
until later.

Civil Service
Announces More
Positions Opened
The United States Civil Service
Commission recently announced
that a large field of positions are
now open with the U. S. Air Corps,
upon passage of a Civil Service
Competitive Examination.
'The positions paying from $1500
to $2200 per year, cover all phases
of ground work and constructional
wor kon aircraft. The age limits
for these examinations for po
sitions are 18 for junior and 22
for journeymen grades, and a max
imum age of 55.
Competitors will not be required
to report to any place for a writ-
te nexamination, but ratings will
be assigned based on information
in the application, subject to cor-
raboration.
Openings are also open for op
erators of mimeograph and tabu
lating machines at the minimum
pay of $1,260 per year. The clos
ing date for these applications is
June 9, 1942.
For further details and applica
tion blanks for either of these
fields in the civil service commis
sion see the examining board at
the College Station Post Office.
And who are the heroes to the
grease-smudged mechanics on the
flying lines? Well, believe it or
not, a recent survey showed that
the mechanics most admire—the
be-goggled, leather-clad pilots who
fly the Army’s training and fight
ing craft.

“This morning we saw a few
Jap planes and there was a little
artillery fire. We face on the right
side of the line, about three miles
back of it. There are not many
Japs on this side. The Japs are
trying to crack our left flank but
are not succeeding. Some Japs
landed on the coast, in back of our
line, but were soon wiped out.
“I have three lieutenants in my
company and am very satisfied
with them. One is a West Pointer.
Just received a letter from head
quarters that five Jap planes were
shot down yesterday and another
destroyed by artillery fire.
“When we sit down to 'shoot the
bull’ after supper the talk doesn’t
run to girls any more; it stays
centered on food and speculation
as to when help will come. We
also talk a lot about what we will
do when we hit San Francisco
after the war is over. After we
get the Philippines cleared up I
suppose I will stay here the entire
duration, or until the situation is
cleared up.
“Anyway don’t worry about me.
As soon as we get some more
planes over here and a few thous
and more men I believe we can
blast the Japs out of the islands.”
The letter was dated February
11. What has happened to the 22-
year-old captain since Bataan fell
is unknown.
