On November 12, 1942 Mr. Peters enlisted in the Air Corps reserve and on January 27, 1943 was called to active duty and sent to Sheppard Field. Bill was transferred to College Station the end of last February. He is a quick-witted character with a perpetual sense of good humor and is always willing to brighten up someone’s life. His ambition is first to become a pilot with the possibility of continuing journa lism in civilian life after the war. Bill’s likes are dancing, hunting, and horse-back riding to say no thing of his prowess in Chess.

Everyone enjoyed their P. T. more than usual today as a result of a new type of game. The whole series of runs and exercises was run off as a track meet with the competition being between squad rons. A/S Cliff Hudson of Squadron I gets our vote as the happiest man of the week. His gal friend arrived from Sunny California in time for the the Wing Ball which is to be held July 16 in Sbisa Hall. Newsitem: Our Commanding Of ficers brother is an ace serving with the Flying Tigers and has 37 Jap planes to his credit. You may have heard of Colonel David Hill and his aerial feats in the news papers before. Friday night will mark the date of the next Wing Ball. The con duct of the men has always been exemplary and we intend to keep it, just that way. Every man can help to make this event a suc cess by continuing to carry on in the manner that he has in the past dances. Please read the orders for the Wing Ball that are part of the first supplement to student orders. Compliance with these reg ulations is a “must” if the dances are to continue. No violations have ever occured and it is our opinion that none will occur. Get a clean uniform ready, polish that brass, make your shoes glisten and we will see you at Sbisa Hall Friday night at 2030.

Watch Squadron IV men! We were all made very happy Monday afternoon by Captain Hill’s talk. Especially so, because we all missed P. T. and Math classes, while yet “in the line of duty.” Last week Captain Hill personal ly congratulated Academic Flight 22 on its fine conduct and march ing to and from classes. Mr. Mc Kinnon, flight leader, was espec ially happy and expressed his hopes to the men to keep up the fine work. Squadron III is well represented in the 308 C.T.D.’s Band, which has really been going places late ly. (no pun intended). Four men are in the band from this squad ron. It is the opinion of the men that Squadron Commander Marion Johansen must have at one time belonged to the camouflage corps in the Service, because Mr. Johan sen has lately been popping out of bushes, "behind trees and out of man-holes, reprimanding the flights on their marching to class es. However, it is our belief that he was a former motorcycle cop. (In case you can read, Mr. Johan sen, we were only fooling!) Caesar, Napoleon and Jannace!

Group Will Hold Dallas Meet Rural women who are fighting the Axis with war bonds, pressure cookers, and sharp hoes will re port their progress at a war-time convention of the Texas Home Demonstration Association sched uled in Dallas, August 17-19. “The Battle on the Home Front” will be the theme of their meeting. Plans for the convention were made at a recent session of the executive committee held in Dallas. Executive members predict that approximately 300 delegates of the Association’s 48,000 will come to share their ideas, despite the pressure of work on the farm and in the farm home. Mrs. W. G. Kennedy of Hamil ton County, the Association presi dent, has announced that the con vention will be streamlined in ac cordance with war demands no banquets or elaborate entertain ments. Speakers will be drawn largely from the Association’s membership, and one feature of the program will be a pageant portraying the Association’s acti vities during the last year. Episodes will be presented by the 4-H, mar keting, ’ education and recreation committeees under the direction of Mrs. Leon Sullivan of Ellis County, vice-president at large. An election to determine the Association’s officers for the next two years also is scheduled, ac cording to Helen H. Swift, socio logist for the A. & M. College Ex tension Service, who serves as an adviser to the organization. This is the Association’s first convention to be held in Dallas. Mrs. John Peavy, chairman of the Dallas Gouty Home Demonstra tion Council, is serving as chair man of local arrangements. Sawmills Aiding War Effort Says AMC Forest Man The 375-odd farm sawmills in Texas, including 11 owned coop eratively, are reacting to the war time demand for lumber by ex panding their output for home use on the farms. The product of these mills contributes to the war effort through relieving the demand upon commercial mills, says C. W. Sim mons, farm forester for the A. & M. College Extension Service. A substantial part of the increased production represents larger pro cessing of hardwoods. Wartime demand, Simmons says, creates problems in logging and the most efficient use of transpor- portation equipment. Regardless, owners of woodland should con tinue selective cutting in order to conserve their timber lands. This may include trees of small diameter which will grow no lar ger, and more lumber will be ob tained by cutting crooked trees in to short logs. Otherwise, cut logs long whenever it is possible. An estimated 10 to 15 per cent in crease in lumber prfoduction can be obtained from 16-footers, for example, than from 12-footers. Soldiers station at Camp Bowie have collected 800,0000 pounds in scrap metals. DR. N. B. McNUTT DENTIST Office in Parker Building Over Canady’s Pharmacy Phone 2-1457 Bryan.

By Gail D. Salley (WO) Camp Bowie, Texas FOSyiCTORY BUY UNITED STATES BONDS AND STAMPS Market Service Planned for 1943 Free cotton classification and market news service for the 1943 crop will be available to organized improvement groups in Texas if ap plications are filed within fixed time limits. According to M. C. Jaynes, cotton work specialist for the A. & M College Extension Ser vice, applications from counties, lying east of the one hundredth meridian must be filed by August 1, and for the remainder of the Texas counties by August 15. This information comes from the office of L. J. Cappleman, Dallas, regional administrator of the Food Distribution Administration. Jaynes quotes J. R. Kennedy, regional chief of FDA’c cotton and fiber division, that more ap plications already have been re ceived for this service than ever before. Last year samples were classified for 117,841 members of more than 1,276 organized im provement groups in the state. Total applications this year are expected to exceed those of 1942. The classing and market service began under the Smith-Doxey act in 1938. Since then the increasing demand for it from farmers has caused the service to spread pro gressively throughout the cotton producing states, Jaynes says. Reasons for the popularity of the service are attributed to increased production per acre and higher prices per pound for the cotton produced. Some cotton improve ment areas in Texas have reported increases of more than $7 an acre. Application forms for the free classing and market news service may be obtained from county agri cultural agents or from the re gional office of the Food Distri bution Administration at Dallas.
