Post War Plans
Discussed at Two
Day Conference
Winning the war is the first and
immediate objective of the State
Land Use Planning Committee, and
preparation for successful post
war reconstruction is its second,
members agreed last week as they
concluded a two-day conference on
the A. & M. College campus.
H. H. Williamson, director of
the A. & M. Extension Service, is
the committee chairman.
The group learned that 245
county land use planning commit
tees have agreed to aid all war
efforts by serving for the dura
tion of the war as County Agri
cultural Victory Councils. This
means they will do emergency war
work in addition to their long
time planning activities, it was
explained. Council mjembers—10,-
037 farm men and women—will
serve as community Victory lead
ers. These, aided by 42,008 neigh
borhood Victory leaders, will form
a “human chain” of communica
tion for rapid transmission or col
lection of war information related
to, agriculture. The communication
system will serve. all farm and
ranch families in the state.
Ex-Aggie Naval Cadet
Goes to Pensacola
Douglas R. Hagood, son of Mrs.
Jessie J. Hagood of Fort Worth,
was recently appointed a Naval
Aviation Cadet and was trans
ferred to the Naval Air Station at
Pensacola, Fla., for flight training,
according to an announcement by
the public relations office of that
station.
Hagood, who attended North
Texas Agricultural college at Ar
lington and A. & M., reported to
the Naval Reserve Aviation Base
at Dallas in February. There he
successfully passed the elimination
training course in April.
Upon completion of the inten
sive seven-month course at the
“Annapolis of the Air,” Hagood
will receive his designation as a
Naval Aviator, with a commission
as Ensign in the Naval Reserve
or as Second Lieutenant in the
Marine Corps Reserve, and will go
on active duty.

Save Time and Tires Visiting
Colorful American Neighbors
Vacataions are in order, as usual,
and their importance as necessary
recreation is recognized. Travel,
of course, is conceded to be the
ideal form of vacation for it takes
one out of his ordinary environ
ment and gives his senses a new
thrill. This year the tire situation
throws the railroads into greater
prominence and fortunately, they
are equipped well to handle the
traffic.
The Office of Defense Transpor
tation’s latest advices not only dis
claim any present restrictions upon
travel but also promise plenty
of advance notice should any be
come necessary. Vacation travel
ers, in their own interest should
choose the middle of the week
for the major portion of their
journeys and they are urged to
seek recreation somewhere near
home.
In many instances the people
are bound to be surprised when
they realize the magnificent pos
sibilities which do lie close to
home and which can be embraced
so readily with economy.
For those who live in Texas this
question of a vacation filled with
variation and fascination, yet easy
to arrange, is answered simply.
Visit Mexico! You have within
your grasp under present condi
tions every advantage travel ever
offered. Your proximity to the
border not only answers the ques
tion of expense but also that of
time.
Within a few hours you can find
yourself amid surroundings totally
strange and exotic, in a land
whose changeful charms refresh
the jaded spirit and among a peo
ple always friendly, but now more
closely allied by the ties of com-
Red Cross Course
To Be Inaugurated
For Local Youngsters
There will be an organization
meeting'for boys between the ages
of 12 to 17 at the Red Cross house
(old Puryear home) on the A. &
M. campus for the purpose of
starting a certified Junior Red
Cross First Air Course Thursday,
July 2, at 7 p.m.
The First Aid course for boys
differs from the Standard course
in that the Junior course consists
of 18 meetings of 50 minutes each
whereas the Standard course in
cludes 20 hours of instruction,
usually covered in 2-hour periods.
For Boy Scouts the satisfactory
completion of the Junior 15 hour
course will automatically entitle
the boy to receive credit for his
Second-class first aid, First-class
first aid, as well as his First Aid
Merit badge, and for boys who are
training for Civil Defense messen
ger service, this Junior Red Cross
First Aid course will qualify them
in this phase of their training.
The meetings will be conducted
by Roy Donahue of the Depart
ment of Agronomy who has had
14 years’ experience in Boy Scout
activities. The program will be
conducted on a patrol basis and
demonstrations of first aid skills
will be conducted by each patrol.

fended city. After that, it was just
a matter of picking off the soldiers
when they came tearing out of the
city, crying, suffocating, and oth
erwise burned up. Thus, it was the
Mexicans who discovered the use
of gas for warfare, claims the
Colonel.
We asked the Colonel what Pan-
cho really looked like. “He was a
huge man with dark complexion
and full lips,” he replied . . . and
he cited this story to illustrate
Pancho’s strength:
Pancho’s army invaded the U. S.
into New Mexico and had a few
brushes with U. S. Cavalry. Before
long, things got a little too hot
for Pancho, so his men decided to
try to get him back across the
border and hide him in a certaift
Mexican valley. But there were
several troops of U. S. cavalry
they had to cut through to get
across, so Pancho put another man
in charge of his army with in
structions to cut a path for him
and his escort of “Gold Leaf” men
. . . Colonel Escamilla was one of
the escort. They got through the
cavalry, but Colonel Escamilla’s
horse was shot in the hips in the
battle. As he was falling, Pancho
rode alongside, picked the horse
up by his tail, and set him on his
feet again . . . and the horse car
ried Escamilla over safely. (We
warned you it was a tall tale.)
mon effort against aggression.
Your money buys more in Mex
ico, your time is all your own
where life flows gently, your sense
of release and recreation is com
plete and in a few days you find
yourself revived and ready once
again to resume routine with rel
ish.
Proof of the good neighbor policy
as an active principal in Mexican
conduct is seen in the fact that,
despite the War, no restrictions
have been imposed upon travel back
and forth across the border. No

passport is required—simply the
usual tourist card obtainable from
the nearest Mexican consul—and
the customary identifications. As
on all rail lines in the United
States, of course, any travel is
bound to be subject to the urgent
movement of troops or war ma
terials but so far these have not
hampered the flow of passenger
traffic and there is no indication
of their likely interference with it.
Dwellers in Texas are singu
larly fortunate in having at their
very doorsteps access to a coun
try so varied in aspects as to pre
sent total contrasts. Within a few
hours the American scene has been
forgotten utterly in the awe and
pleasure inspired by the mighty
monuments and strange relics pre
served from the misty past and
proud races long gone from the
earth.
Ringed by mountains on whose
lofty summits sleep eternal snows,
the plateau of Anahuac is unsur
passed for beauties, both rural and
urban. Cities in whose architec
ture and activities is written daily
the pageant of the centuries are
peopled by folk whose way of life
is full of amiable diversion.
Broad cultivated areas, vast ex
panses of virgin forest, swift tran
sitions from cool heights to semi-
tropical lowlands where rice, pa
paya and mango flourish, foliage
and flowers in every hue strewn
by Nature’s lavish hand are sights
and experiences not to be parallel
ed elsewhere. By-ways lead to
slumbrous villages awakened into
blazes of native craftsmanship and
glamorrous colors on days devoted
to markets or fiestas.
Mexico has been called aptly
“the faraway land close) to home”
and this phrase never has been so
apropos as it is today. To make the
most of a few days, to obtain an
added measure of satisfaction from
a modest investment in travel, to
give expression to your own good
neighbor inclinations, to enjoy a
vacation in every way patriotic, to
journey in a foreign land in com
fort and full of security—these are
the special privileges which recom
mend Mexico as the recreation
center for citizens of Texas.
