Campus Cleaners
Over Exchange Store
College Extension Service cite nu
merous instances to prove that the
masses of people have changed
their attitudes and actions because
of war-time conditions.
These conditions include in
creased demands for food, effects
of the national nutrition program,
rationing of many foods and scar
city and poor distribution of others,
unfavorable relationships between
production costs and market pri
ces, relatively high retail prices
of food, along with educational pro
grams.
These factors have combined to
increase substantially the families,
planting Victory gardens, the food
specialists say. About 90 per cent
of the farms and ranches and 50
per cent of the village, town .and
city homes in Texas benefited
from gardening this year.
Another result has been the in
crease in poultry numbers by
about one-third. Many village,
town, and city families now have
small backyard poultry flocks.
Further expansion seems inadvi
sable in view of the current feed
shortage.
A short fruit crop created a
strong demand for fruits this year,
with an accompanying increase in
the cooperative buying of fruits.
County home demonstration agents
in 42 counties have reported that
6,292 families canned about 136,
000 pints of pineapple products
worth $27,000 in money and more
than two and one-half million blue
ration points. A gigantic promo
tional and educational program on
safe methods of food preservation
is expected to result in the conser
vation of more than 100 million
containers of food in Texas during
1943.
Aggies To Lead Corps
Of Marines In Fight
ATLANTA, Ga.,—2nd. Lieut.
Robert B. Wynne, Jr., son of Mr.
R. B. Wynne, Sr., of Waskom, Tex
as has been assigned to active
duty with the fighting Leather
necks, it was announced here to
day. He was ordered to lead Ma
rines in battle after successfully
completing the rugged officers’
training course at the famous Ma
rine Base at Quantico, Va.
Lieut. Wynne attended Texas
A. & M. College where he majored
in accounting and took part in
intramural sports. He was a mem
ber of the East Texas Club.
He formerly worked for the

Dr. Cox Warns Of
Pneumonia Danger
With the advent of fall and the
attendant seasonal changes of wea
ther, common colds become much
more prevalent and widespread in
the state.
Dr. Geo. W. Cox, State Health
Officer, has issued a warning a-
gainst the careless treatment of
any respiratory illness since they
can and frequently do result in
the dreaded complication, pneu
monia. He amphasized the fact
that pneumonia usually strikes
with little or no warning, follow
ing a simple cold, an attack of in
fluenza or some other respiratory
infection.
“A cold or any other infection
of the breathing passage, especial
ly if accompanied by fever, de
mands the immediate attention of
a doctor,” the state health officer
said. “To try to fight such a di
sease without bed rest and by
means of self-medication may en
danger life unnecessarily.”
According to Dr. Cox, prevent
ion is better than cure and in or
der to avoid colds, influenza, and
pneumonia he advised building up
normal physical resistance by suf
ficient ventilation, adequate nour
ishing food, outdoor exercise and
sufficient sleep and rest. “How-
.ever,” he added, “if, in spite of
such care, a respiratory illness
develops, the family doctor should
be called immediately.”
The fact that pneumonia is de
finitely a communicable disease
is often overlooked, Dr. Cox stat
ed, but this should be borne in
mind so that the danger of pass
ing the disease from one person
to another can be eliminated.
