I didn’t know who it would be, but I figured that we would have a lot of fun and would win at' least one game. This year I simply can't go that strong. We are going to do our best to win every game, of course, but I would not say now that we will come out ahead in even one game.

This, Gil christ said, is one of its principal objectives as the future of Texas depends a great deal upon agri cultural prosperity and satisfac tion among its people with rural life. Planning for the peace years for agriculture and for industry in a broad sense are one and the same as the well being of the one de pends upon the prosperity of the other, and one of the greatest op portunities for industrial develop ment lies in expanding the process ing of farm commodities, Gilchrist said. “Texas, the leading producer of cotton” he declared, “manufac turers relatively little cotton cloth and garments; Texas, the leading producer of cattle, manufacturers relatively few shoes and other leather goods; Texas, a leading producer of sheep and goats, manu factures relatively no wool and mo hair. These examples are merely suggestive of the vast unutilized opportunities we have for pro cessing our own farm products right here in our own State. The wages, interest, and profit from manufacturing our agricultural products and other raw materials into finished articles are now flow ing to other sections of the coun try.” President Gilchrfst was of the opinion that many of our war plants may be converted into in dustries for the making of useful peacetime goods, and these recon verted plants made to serve only as a beginning of industries, large and small, to be developed within the State. Declaring that he had never been impressed with the clamor to bring new industries to Texas, he thought we should de velop from within, largely with Texas capital, but not shutting the door to desirable capital from with out. Of the responsibilities of the Texas A. & M. College in achiev ing postwar development in Tex as, Gilchrist said, “in the first place is the responsibility of our agricultural divisions to play a large part in providing the educa tion, the leadership, and the re search required in such a program, particularly in its agricultural phases. In the difficult period of readjustment not only immediately after the war, but in the years to follow, our farmers will need more than ever the expert assistance of our Extension workers. “In most instances the solution of their problems will call for scientific study. Our agricultural Experi ment Station must be in a position to give added emphasis to its al ready effective program of re search, and to expand its program The Bryan Banks will be closed Tuesday, July 4, in observance of Independence Day, a legal holiday. CITY NATIONAL BANK FIRST STATE BANK & TRUST CO. FIRST NATIONAL BANK to include more study of the in dustrial aspects of agriculture. “As never before, the years will call for young men with sound and broad training in agriculture and agricultural administration. The School of Agriculture must be in an even better position with re gard to its curricula, personnel, and equipment to turn out young men fully prepared for service in the era to come. “Let me emphasize that the in terests of the State require not less, but more service from the agricultural divisions of the Col lege. It is our purpose, therefore, to expand, improve, and more closely correlate their activities to the end that these divisions shall render even larger and better ser vice. One plan of organization now under consideration would center all these activities in one well- trained executive familiar with agricultral needs. “In our efforts to accomplish these purposes, and our plans for industrial research and services, we seek and hope to merit the active support and hearty coopera tion of you and all other citizens of Texas in enabling the Texas A. & M. College to make its largest possible contribution.” Many a person used to walk to reduce. Now most of us are re duced to walking. ....Persons, like engines, are starved for oxygen at high altitudes—but a turbosupercharger provides the necessary oxygen for both persons and engines on the B-29. Because of the high horsepower of the B-29 engines, two turbo- superchargers are used on each of the plane’s four engines. Out where the sun leaps over the equatorial horizon the Marines received their ice cream right on the dot. Happiness is not a station you arrive at, but a manner of travel ing. Whether the scar will show is entirely up to you, said the doctor to the sweet, young thing. Each of the four 2200-horsepow er engines on a superbomber has two turbosuperchargers to supply it with sufficient compressed air to maintain high power at alti tudes of 40,000 feet and higher. Things in general seem to be going wrong with the German general. A. B.
