Ernest Langford, head of the

in the Association of Collegiate
Schools of Architecture. There are,
at the present, only some 30
schools having membership. The
only other school in Texas so hon

On Texas Forests and Natural Resources
When the Civilian Conservation
Corps closed its ’books on June 30,
it had completed d 1 /* years of serv
ice in conserving the natural and
human resources of America. Dur
ing that period, CCC camps under
the supervision of the U. S. Forest
Service and the State Forester ad
vanced the cause of forest conser
vation in Texas by at least a gen
eration, both on the four national
forests and on State and privately
owned lands. A total of about 3,-
900.000 man-days of work was
done, of which 60 percent was on
State and private lands.
High lights of the work accom
plished in Texas include the fol
lowing items:
The CCC boys, in improving the
physical facilities of the forests,
built 3,330 miles of roads and over
7.000 bridges. They constructed
190 buildings and 8 large dams,
7,000 miles of telephone lines, and
226 miles of fences. To check
Irollees devoted more than 160,000
man-days to general fire preven
tion work and to fighting fires.
Largely through the fire control
improvements and facilities con
structed by the CCC, the Texas
Forest Service was able to provide
fire control for large areas of
private timberlands that otherwise
would have continued to suffer
severe damage annually.
At the beginning of the CCC
program in 1933, about 7,200,000
acres of State and private forest
lands in Texas received fire pro
tection. By January 1, 1942, this
had increased to over 8,800,000
acres.
For sowing in forest tree nur
series, 27,000 bushels of pine cones
were collected. Nearly 72,000 de
nuded acres were planted to make
future forests. Timber stand im
provement work was done on 322,-
000 acres of woodlands, and the
timber was estimated on 530,000
erosion, they seeded or sodded
more than 200,000 square yards of
gullies.
Roads and telephone lines are
important in fire protection. In
addition, 101 Ibokout towers were
erected, 459 miles of firebreaks
cleared, and fire hazards reduced
along 25,000 miles of roads. En-
growth of weeds thereon, or both, are
sufficient to constitute a nuisance as here
in defined, and if they so find, they shall
pass a resolution declaring that the
growth of weeds or accumulation of trash
and rubbish upon such premises, or both,
constitutes a public nuisance, and shall
order same removed by the owner, occu
pant, lessee or person in charge of such
premises, within five days from the dale
ich notice is given.
Section 3. In the event the owner of
the premises upon which is located a nui
sance as prohibited by this ordinance can
not be found or served with a notice, and
there does not appear to be any person
of such premises or occupancy, or in the
event the nuisance is not abated by cut
ting the weeds and removing the trash
and rubbish or either of them, as the case
may be, then said nuisance shall be abated
by the City of College Station, and the
expense incurred, which shall include sal
ary and wages of all employees, and rea
sonable charge for machinery and tools,
vehicles, etc., used in abating said nui
sance shall be a personal charge against
owner of said premises and shall be as
sessed as a lien against the property on
which said nuisance is located and re
moved therefrom, and shall be due and
payable to the City Tax Collector the fol
lowing tax paying period, that is, the
first day of March following the date at
which such nuisance is abated and fail
ure to pay when due shall cause a ten
per cent penalty to be added and same
shall bear interest from the date the same
is due, at the rate of six per cent per
annum.
Section 4. Failure to cut weeds and re
move trash and rubbish or to do either of
them when notified to do so, as set out in
this ordinance by any party obligated to
do so by this ordinance, shall be punished
by a fine in any sum not exceeding fifty
dollars ($50.00) and each day that such
nuisance shall continue after the time for
abatement as herein set out shall consti
tute a separate offense.

acres. About 95,000 man-days were
spent on surveys.
Perhaps the greatest benefit
rendered by the CCC in Texas was
to the boys, largely recruited with
in the State, who lived and worked
in the camps. They learned useful
trades and habits of industry and
self-reliance and developed strong
and healthy bodies. Army officers
find ex-CCC boys who enter the
armed forces to be in much better
than average physical trim and,
as a result of their CCC training
in first aid and in such specialized
skills as truck and tractor driving
and telephone maintenance, able in
a short time to handle the mechan
ized equipment of modem warfare.
When the boys go home they
will be more useful citizens of
their communities. They will be
enthusiastic conservationists and
may be counted on, through the
years to come, to actively aid in
protecting and wisely using Texas’
natural resources.
Texas Wheat Men
Pay Less Insurance
On This Years Crop
Some Texas wheat farmers will
pay less for wheat insurance on
their 1943 crop.
- Under a new reduction plan, an
nounced by Federal Crop Insur
ance Corporation, individuals’ pre
miums will be cut as much as 50
percent provided premiums paid
during unbroken series of crop
years, less indemnities, equal or
exceed insured production for
1943, E. R. Duke, state wheat "ki-
surance supervisor, explainer;.,
Only those wheat farmers who
have insured wheat crops, for an
unbroken series of cr ,p years up
to the present, with few or no
losses, can qualify for lower pre
miums. Maximum reduction in
premium rates, which is 50 per
cent, will be given farmers only
in those years when no losses oc
cur.
If premiums which have been
paid during unbroken series of
crop years are slightly less than
1943 insured (production, premium
cost for 1943] crop year will be
counted towand the premium bal
ance and a p'roportionally lower
cost will be given.
In no case will farmers be grant
ed the lower rate simply because
they have built up a premium bal
ance from large operations and
shifted to lower operations. If op
erators have materially reduced
acreages or lowered insured pro
duction for any other reason, ad
justments will be made.

Scientists Needed
By Government
For Civil Service
The United States Civil Service
Commission modified today the re
quirements of 4 types of scien
tific positions, in an effort to se
cure additional qualified persons
for civilian work in Federal war
agencies, both in the United States
and abroad.
Appointments are to be made
immediately in the fields of metal
lurgy, physics, meteorolgy, and
chemistry. Appointees will work
with specific problems in one of
these fields. Most of these prob
lems will be connected with some
phase of the war program. Sal
aries for the positions range from
$2,600 to $5,600 a year.
College teaching in metallurgy,
chemistry, and meteorology is al
lowed as professional experience
for any of the positions, provided
that all other requirements for the
grade under consideration have
been met and that the teaching
was carried on with the minimum
rank of instructor. For physicist
positions, the teaching of physics
in colleges, high schools, prepara
tory schools, and trade schools
will be considered as professional
experience, with the same provi
sion in effect. Completion of a
4-year course in the o ptional sub
ject at a recognized, college, with
a minimum of 2 years of profes
sional experience in the field of
the option, or appropriate gradu
ate study, is required.
No written test will be given.
Applicants will be judged from
their experience, education, and
training. Applications will be ac
cepted until the needs of the serv
ice have been met, and must be
filed with the Civil Service Com
mission, Washington, D. C.
A notice was issued closing the
acceptance of applications by the
Commission’s central office in
Washington after June 29 for po
sitions of Airport Traffic Control

Ranchers Started
Extensive Steps
For Saving in 1941
Texas ranchmen have been get
ting ready for just such an em
ergency as 1942 presents.
With ranchmen and farmers en
gaged in the biggest food and feed
production job in history as their
part in total war, grassland which
has been restored to former graz
ing capacity will pay off in live
stock production this year, declares
Howard Kingsbery, state AAA
committeeman and ranchman from
Santa Anna.
Practices carried out most ex
tensively under the 1941 range
conservation program, as in for
mer years, include contour fur
rowing, deferred grazing, and
eradication of noxious plants.
Cooperating under last year’s
program, 7,304 Texas ranchmen
cleared 1,671,155 acres of prickly
pear, cedar, mesquite and lechugil-
la. Of the total acreage from
which noxious plants were cleared,
1,147,590 represented prickly pear
while 381,548 represented cedar.
Approximately 282,583,971 feet
of furrows, and spreader terraces
were constructed. Object of these
practices is to control water and
keep it out of creeks and gullies,
catch grass seed which otherwise
would be lost, and help prevent
erosion.
More than 4,689,638 acres were
devoted to natural and artificial
reseeding while approximately 11,-
470,224 cubic yards of dirt were
used in construction of spreader
4- cj ana earthen tanks on 3,378
ranches.
Resume of 1941 range program
indicates 13,895 Texas ranchmen
signed 62,462,200 acres under the
program. Approximately $3,695,-
366 were paid cooperators to off
set heavy investments made in re
building grassland, Kingsbery said.
Humphrey Transf ered
For Flight Training
Now at Pensacola, Fla
Joseph Roy Humphrey, who re

Naval Aviation Cadet and was
transferred to the Naval Air Sta
tion, Pensacola, Fla., for flight
training, according to an an
nouncement made by the public
relations office of that station.
Humphrey, son of Allen A.
^Humphrey of Point, Texas, was
sent to the Naval Reserve Avia
tion Base in Anacostia, D. C., the
last of March. There he success
fully passed the elimination train
ing course the last of June.
Upon completion of the inten
sive seven-month course at “The
Annapolis of the Air,” Humphrey
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.
bership in the Association is not to
be had for the mere asking. To
be eligible, schools must have a
high standing, a progressive pro
gram, as well as meeting require
ments set up by the association.”
The organization was founded
in 1912 and has come to be rec
ognized nationally by accrediting 1
agencies: The American Institute
of Architects, and other profes
sional organizations. Recently the
Department was honored by the
American Institute of Architects
by the Institute’s approving the
Department as being eligible to
award its annual School Medal.
The Association of Collegiate

which represents the profession
of architecture so far as the col

nificant honor that this college
has been elected to membership in
the Association.
Summer Is Time
To Take Care Of
Unclean Conditions
The season of the year when the
most complaints are received on
account of diarrhea and dysentery
or “Summer Complaint” is here
and Dr. Geo. W. Cox, State Health
Officer has issued a warning to
parents in regard to this, and of
fers the following suggestions to
prevent its occurrence among 1
babies. The chief causes of diarrhea
include impure milk, water and
contaminated foods, overheating,
fever from any cause, too much
sugar or cream in the diet, over
feeding and underfeeding.
Mother’s milk is the safest food.
However, if other milk must be
used, the supply should be clean
and pure. The water should be
clean, pure and boiled. Any other
articles of food should be fresh
and clean and no unsuitable ar
ticles of food such as cake and
candy should be given.
If a feeding formula is used, it
should be one prescribed by a phy
sician and it must be prepared
with extreme attention to cleanli
ness and kept cold until used. The
baby should be fed at regular in
tervals and should not be forced
to eat when he is not hungry. The
baby should be kept cool and com
fortable in hot weather, should not
be overclothed and should be given
plenty of clean water to drink. Any
infections which develop in the
nose, throat, ears or other organs
should receive prompt attention
from a physician.
If diarrhea develops, feeding-
should be stopped or greatly di
minished and an abundance otf
water should be given. Cathartics
should not be given except on the
advice of a physician. If the diar
rhea does not improve within a
short time, a physician should be
called and a complete examination
should be made.
The three F’s, flies, fingers, and
food are the three sources of dan
ger to the baby. Flies carry dis
ease germs to the baby and to its
food. Fingers and hands that are
not thoroughly washed before pre
paring the baby’s food are likely
to be germ carriers also. All milk
and water that is intended for the
baby should be boiled for five
minutes, then carefully covered
and kept in a cool place until used.

university professor whose birth
day is December 25, proposes a.

Birthday Gift Interests of Those
