—FOOD BUYING—
(Continued From Page 1)
the farmers in 17 counties had en
gaged in cooperative buyi n g
through pooling of orders. Lee
County led with 72 carloads, Bur
leson second with 66, and Fayette
third with 44. A total of 418 cars
was bought in the 17 counties, in
cluding 243, or more than half of
the total, of feed wheat; 106 of
maize, and 70 of mixed feeds, corn,
cottonseed or soybean meals, ci
trus pulp, etc.
Bowles points out, however, that
the total savings for Texas will not
be 12 times the total for District
11 because of the heavy livestock
feeding program in that district
and because it imports a greater
proportion of its feed than some
other sections of the state. Con
servatively, he estimates that co
operative purchases of feed in
Texas would equal six times the
total for District 11. That would
amount to an estimated 2,600 car
loads and a grand total saving to
Texas farmers of $1,144,500.
Brazos County farmers set up
a cooperative to handle buying of
feed. They have bought a ware
house and plan to provide them
selves with equipment for grinding
and mixing feeds.
He who slings the most mud,
looses the most ground.
If the power to do hard work is
not talent, it is the best possible
substitute for it.
The angriest person in a contro
versy is the one most liable to be
in the wrong.

Clothing Catches
Spirit of War
Clothing is catching the war-
spirit. A new government con
servation order means there will
be an increase in the output of
clothing for women and children
from the available supply of cot
ton, rayon, and wool.
For the duration women can ex
pect to be well dressed in simple
clothing says Mrs. Dora R. Barnes,
clothing specalist for the A. & M.
College Extension Service. She
explains that the control on skirt
materials for dresses is planned
so that peg-top skirts and evening
skirts will be narrowed down. And
to help save material, trimming
allowances will be figured on the
square inches of fabric in a dress.
Bows, ruffles, revers, jabots,
and the like are restricted in wid
th and thickness, and cuffs are
to be made with only two buttons
and button holes. For two-piece
suits, double-breasted fronts and
bi-swing backs have been aban
doned on jackets. Pockets have
been limited to two, although more
flaps for more “false” pockets
are permissible.
The specialist says culottes, as
well as reversible, lined or quilted
skirts are gone for the duration.
There are other changes in fab
rics which homemakers may ex
p^ct. For instance, percale and
dress goods that weigh four oun
ces per yard with a thread count
of 80 in the warp and 80 in the
filling may no longer be made
for civilian use. These mater
ials — favorites among home
makers fo* chilren’s clothes and
house dresses—are needed for the
manufacture of such things as
underwear for the armed forces
and surgical goods.

take off for classes, the incident
was discovered by the Corporals
who went to the Squadron Com
mander with tears in their eyes,
pleading with him to get some
men to help them restore their
“car” to mother earth. Several
volunteers quickly placed the
mighty little vehicle safely on the
ground. It could have been the ants
or gremlins who put the Austin
on the rails. However, it is our
theory that the man of the squad
ron may have placed it there, while
policing the grounds earlier that
morning, thinking they discovered
a pile of tin Which should have
been removed and placed on the
rails so no one would trip on it.
Approximately fifty more pairs

Campus distractions
The feature distraction for To
day, tomorrow, and Saturday at
the Campus is Paramount’s REAP
THE WILD WIND, one of pro
ducer Cecil B. DeMille’s best.
Here is definitely a show. It has
a historical background with the
scenes at Charleston and Key West,
Florida. Raymond Massey is the
head of a piratical business con
cerned with the salvaging of wreck
ed vessels on the treacherous Flo
rida keys. When the vessels don’t
wreck themselves, they are wreck
ed via villainous sea captains and
their mates. Paulette Goddard, who
looks swell in a sweater and o-la-la
in Technicolor, takes the feminine
lead supported by glamorous Su
san Hayward. John Wayne is the
sea-faring man gone wrong, while
Ray Milland plays the part of a
fighting Charleston sea lawyer.
The show contains lots of gun-
totin’ and a peach of an undersea
fight with a giant squid.

J. M. A. News Co. as a District
Manager and held this position for
three years. In September 1940 he
resigned and accepted a position
with the local office of the Rail
way Express where he remained
for over a year.
A few days after the treacherous
attack on Pearl Harbor Mac vol
unteered for the Army Air Corps
and was sent to Keesler Field for
his basic training. In the early
part of February 1942 he was
transferred to Scott Field, Illinois
to take a six month’s course in
radio mechanics. Finishing this
course in the latter part of July
he was assigned to a Bomber Com
mand at Salt Lake City, Utah. Af
ter several weeks he was put on
detached service and sent to the
Walla Walla Air Base in Wash
ington. By this time Mac had
risen to the rank of Sergeant and
was a qualified radio repair man.
Within the nekt two months Mc
Carthy was shipped to Sioux City,
Iowa, and then to Mitchell Field,
South Dakota, where he was in
charge of the Bombing and Gun
nery ranges in South Dakota. In
the early part of January, 1943,
he returned to Sioux City and was
selected to go with a new Cadre
to organize the Grand Island Air
Base. While there he served as
chief of communications. In April
1943 he was accepted as an Avia
tion Cadet Applicant and sent to
Sheppai-d Field and then to Col
lege Station.
A/S McCarthy is a very studious
person and likes army life. His
favorite sports are auto racing,
swimming, football, and baseball
while he has a very distinct dis
like for basketball. Mac doesn’t
smoke and never drinks coffee or
tea, but at the same time retains
the Irish flair for liking a spot
of something strong now and then.
His.main ambition is to become a
pilot, preferrably of a B-17, and
he hopes some day fo rejoin his
old outfit as a flyer. The Bomber
group to which he was assigned
is the same one that last fall re
ceived an award for being the fin
est bomber group in the Air Corps.
By the determined way in which
Mac does everything that is ex
pected of him, we feel sure that
he will help to live up to the repu
tation of his former comrades. On
the behalf of all of his associates
we wish him the best of every
thing.

two games in the league race,
Squadron II finally registered in
the win column with an impressive
victory over Squadron I. The de
feat bumped the loosers from un
disputed first place to a tie with
Squadron V. Squadron II was the
first to mark in the run column
in the high scoring contest as they
chased across a pair of counters in
the last half of the second. Ed
Martin walked to open the inning
and J. Platt got a hit to right cen
ter on which he circled the bases
for an early two run lead. Squad
ron I manufactured a run in their
half of the third frame and Squad
ron II kept pace as they counted
another to make the score read
3-1 at the end of the third. The
fourth inning was wild and wooly
for both teams and the game was
decided in that inning. A series of
hits and two errors helped Squad
ron I take a 4-3 lead in their turn
at bat. However, in the last half
of the fourth the winners started
a merry-go-round that did not
stop before six runs had crossed
the plate. The score stood 9-4 at
the end of the fourth. Squadron
II put two men on bases with suc
cessive hits in the fifth with none
out, but John Marnett, winning pit
cher made the next three men pop
out to end the game.
Squadron V and Squadron HI
broke the league tie they were in
as the former took a close decision
2-1. The game was a pitchers bat
tle all the way with each hurler
giving up but one hit. The game
rocked along scoreless for the first
three frames and it was in the first
half of the fourth inning that Elik,
Squadron III centerfielder, con
nected for a home run to count
the only run for the losers. Squad
ron V came back strong in their
half of the fourth frame and
McCloud walked Stewart and
Broyles, the fir^t two batters to
face him. Whiznuta then came
through with a smashing double
to deep center driving Stewart
was issued the third free pass of
the inning and McCutcheon drove a
long fly to deep left to drive across
the winning score. McCloud then
bore down and retired the side in
order but it was one run late as
the losers failed to cunt in their
last turn at the plate. Stewart was
the winning pitcher.
Squadrn IIII has picked a name
for their softball team and they
have chosen “Beavers”. This is a
cue for other teams and they
should have a name choosen for
their organization by the latter
part of the week. Rumor has it
that Squadron V is going to call
their softball ten the “Rabbits”
however, this is not official.
