Cox Advises Exam
To Correct Any
Defects for Army
“Pre-habilitation is a word with
much more meaning than the fa
miliar one ‘rehabilitation’,” Dr.
Geo. W. Cox, State Health Officer,
declared today in emphasizing the
advisability of frequent physical
examinations.
Dr. Cox pointed out that young
men who expect to enter military
service within the near future
should go to their family doctor for
a check-up, so that any remedial
physicaf defects can be attended
to before they are called.
“By possible corrective treat
ment, many young men can be
ready for military service when
called, who are not now able to
serve,” Dr. Cox said.
According to the State Health
Officer, not only young men ex
pecting to enter military service,
but war workers and their fam
ilies, students cramming four years’
work into much less time and all
others caught in the accelerated
speed of the business world today
should be examined by a doctor at
least twice a year.
“It costs less to maintain than
to repair,” Dr. Qox declared. “Get
to know a good doctor before you
need repairs.”

Mrs Wickard to Be Guest
At State-Wide Meeting
Of Texas Farm Women
Unlike many organizations which
are cancelling conventions fox the
duration, the Texas Home Dem
onstration Association will hold
its annual state-wide meeting in
August to forward the war work
of farm and ranch women. The
convention is to be held in Fort
Worth, August 18-20.
Despite transportation difficul
ties, leaders expect home demon
stration clubs in 192 counties to
be < represented at the meeting.
Only out-of-state guest invited
to appear on the program is Mrs.
Claude R. Wickard of Washington,
D.C., wife of the Secretary of Ag
riculture. In addition to numbers
of rural women who will partici
pate, other speakers include Dr.
Fiobert Sutherland of Austin, di
rector of the Hogg Foundation,
University of Texas, and Miss Mil
dred Horton of College Station,
vice director and state home dem
onstration agent of the A. & M.
College Extension Service.
In. announcing plans for the
meeting Mrs. W. G. Kennedy,
Muleshoe, president, explained
that the 40,000 members of the
Texas Home Demonstration As
sociation will plan to reach and
serve all of the 418,000 farm and
ranch homes in Texas.
One unusual feature of the pro
gram will be dramatization of the
Association’s work during the past
year. Among the activities to be
portrayed in a colorful pageant
are increased use of whole grain
cereals, promotion of the commu
nity school lunch program, first
aid instruction, and the Food for
Freedom movement, and support
of the Victory Demonstration of
the A. & M. College Extension
Service.

Transportation Problems
Constitute War Bottleneck
The nation’s wartime crisis in
transportation emphasizes the un
economic concentration of industry
in sections remote from raw ma
terials and fuel. It is the economic
waste of transportation facilities
in cross-hauling that has created
one of the serious bottlenecks of
the production front, Lachlan Mac-
leay, president of the Mississippi
Valley association, points out.
The North Atlantic states, in
which a substantial portion of the
nation’s industry is centered, are
faced with a critical shortage of
both fuel oil and coal. This in
dustrial area must also import or
bring from distant points in the
South and Middlewest most of the
raw materials processed in its fac
tories. The submarine warfare off
the Atlantic Coast and the world
wide demand for shipping have
placed a tremendous burden on our
railroads at a time when every
freight car is urgently needed.
The politicians and the vested
interests of the North Atlantic
states who were responsible for
the maintenance of the manufac
turing monopoly held by that sec
tion in the past have combined to
increase this uneconomic concen
tration of manufacturing despite
the war emergency. Recently two
huge aluminum plants were au
thorized for this section. One is
located in Boston and the other in
Brooklyn.
The two plants will require ap
proximately 2,500,000 tons of coal
annually—and New England al
ready faces a coal shortage. The
coal for the plants must be moved
from 600 to 800 miles, and the
aluminum they will process comes
largely from smelters in the South
and the Southwest, even more dis
tant.
This is an example of the un
economic cross-hauling which tax
es our transportation system.
These plants should have been
built in the Middle West where we
already have an aluminum indus
try close to the coal fields and
where the Mississippi River pro
vides a submarine-free, all-water
route for the movement of bauxite
from South America through the
Port of New Orleans and from the
nearby mines of Arkansas.
This government is committed
to the principles of the Atlantic
Charter. Included in the four free
doms enunciated in that charter
and reaffirmed in the recent agree
ment with Russia, is free access
to essential raw materials by all
nations of the world. If this policy
is to prevail in the post-war world,
it means .the United States must
re-orient its economic structure.
It is much less expensive to ship
finished products to market than
to ship raw materials long dis
tances for processing. We must
eliminate expensive and wasteful
cross-hauling. We must develop
an industrial structure which can
compete with other countries in
the markets of the world.
This means we must develop
our industry in the Mid-Contineht
Area, in which the centers of near
ly all of our raw materials are
located. It means that everything
which is processed from agricul
tural products must be made in
this area, where the byproducts
without waste or transportation
loss can be used to feed its live
stock.
The Mid-Continent Area pro
duces 69 per cent of the nation’s
live stock; more than 80 per cent
of all grains; 72 per cent of the
cotton; 94 per cent of the bitumin
ous coal; 82 per cent of the petrol
eum and 84 per cent of the natural
gas; 94 per cent of the iron ore;
99 per cent of the sulphur; 96 per
cent of the bauxite, and 71 per
cent of the potash.
This areas has the finest rail
roads in the world, a system of
7,000 miles of navigable inland
waterways, excellent ocean ports,
and a network of highways and
skyways. It possesses excellent
living and climatic conditions. It
is here America should center its
industry of the future.
The Mid-Continent Area con
tains 51.9 per cent of the popula
tion of the United States, and has
a majority of the votes cast in
national elections. This section can
achieve its manifest economic des
tiny if it is organized to support
its objectives. The organized effort
which will attain these objectives
cannot wait until the return of
peace. It must be started now. In
recognition of this need, the Mis
sissippi Valley Association has
created a Post-War Planning Com
mittee to formulate plans for the
economic advancement of the Mid-
Continent Area that we may be
better prepared to effectively meet
the conditions of peace which we
trust will soon follow the present
period of strife.

Ensign Gay is from Houston
and attended A. & M. for three
and-a-half years as a student in
mechanical engineering.
After taking off from his car
rier on June 4, Ensign Gay ap
proached three Japanese aircraft
carriers. After hitting a ship, Gay
and his crew members were sub
jected to fire from a Zero fighter
which riddled the plan and wound
ed him. Gay pancaked the plane in
to the sea and managed to extri
cate himself from the wreckage.
As the plane sank, he saw a
deflated rubber life raft appear
out of the ship’s wreckage along
with a black cushion. With this
rubber raft he managed to stay
afloat and observe the attack on
the carriers. He spent the night
in the water and part of the next
day before being picked up by a
U. S. boat.
