REGARDING DELIVERIES
AND AN APPEAL FOR YOUR
COOPERATION
Our Government has invoked certain regulations that
will prohibit the usual deliveries, in the interest of
preserving the “wheels of business” and making
tires do the greatest good to the greatest number.
So it becomes necessary for us to adjust our delivery
schedule and beg your cooperation toward our pres
ent plan of operation.
We will continue our “out-of-town” deliveries to the
extent of these regulations.
A REMINDER
THAT YOU CAN STILL BUY FURNITURE ON
INSTALLMENT PLAN UNDER THE NEW

Texas Experiments
With Cork Growth
Cork oak acorns and seedlings
are being planed by scientists of
A. & M. as part of a long range
program to test suitability of Tex
as soils to this foreign tree whose
shortage is causing concern in
parts of the government's re-arm
ament program.
The A. & M. project is being con
ducted in cooperation with the Uni
versity of California, which furn
ished the cork oak seedlings and
acorns.
Fifty seedlings are being planted
on state forests in Newton and
Cherokee counties and at the col
lege, D. A. Anderson, research
chief of the Texas Forest Service,
said. "
One hundred and fifty acorns
were sown at the college by Dr.
S. H. Yamell, horticulture chief,
of the Texas Experiment Station.
When the seedlings have sprouted
they will be planted on experi
ment station farms and state for
ests in various sections of the
state.
Cork is the outer layer of bark
obtained from cork oak. It is used
by the army to make gaskets and
washers for engines, in airplanes,
motor vehicles and tanks, for cart
ridge plugs and bomb parts, and
for cold storage insulation. The
Navy also uses it for life preserv
ers and to prevent sweating in
submarines.
The richest and most productive
cork forests are in Portugal and
Spain, but the tree also grows
in southern France, Italy, Sardinia,
Morocco, Algiers and Tunis, all
within a restricted area along the
coast of the western Mediteran-
ean.
It is not native to the United
States but has been successfully
planted in California, and 248
trees from which part of the seed
were gathered for the A. & M.
College experiment, yielded more
than 10,000 pounds of cork in 1940.
Officials of the Crown Cork and
Seal Company of Baltimore, Mary
land, tested this yield and said it
“compared favorably with good
grade imported cork.”

when the hair was in the hands

covered it was his own hair which
somebody’s sneaked off the back

a Fish Sergeant interested in his

so he could ram him? . . . And the

ward: “Good moaning, boys!” . . .

taught to 830 students in 22 class
es.
This course, designed to teach
the student fundamental concepts
of American democracy, now in
cludes a brief survey, at the re
quest of the war department, of
the war in Europe and Asia, and
a comparison of democratic and
Fascist principles of government.
The overflow in history enroll
ment has put a burden on the de
partment, short-manned as usual
during the summer. In fact, Dr. J.
P. Abbott of the college’s English
department, has been “drafted” to
teach history for a six-weeks pe
riod, He will be replaced then by
Dr. James H. Bass, regular de
partment member now teaching a
summer course at the University
of Texas.
Ex-Aggie Wins Wings
In Naval Air Corps
Jerry Sam Scott, son of Mr. and
Mrs. H. A. Scott of Frost, Texas,
graduated today from the Naval
Air Station in Corpus Christi and
was commissioned an ensign in
the Naval Reserve.
Ensign Scott received his B.S.
degree from A. & M., where he
was a member of the American
Society of Agricultural Engineers
in 1941. Upon enlistment in the
Naval Reserve, he was sent to
the Aviation Elimination Base at
Dallas for preliminary flight in
struction. He was then transferred
to the Navy’s “University of the
Air,” at Corpus Christi where he
received his wings at the com
pletion of his course of training.
Eighty-five per cent of Harvard
students are “convinced that the
United States was right in enter
ing the war, and that it should
concentrate all its energies in win
ning it,” according to a recent
poll.
