Darnell, Professor of Dairy Husbandry, judged the second Rio Grande Valley Dairy Show at San Benito, Texas, on October 26. The dairy show was sponsored by the dairy cattle breeders in coopera tion with the San Benito Chamber of Commerce. Only two breeds of cattle were represented in the show, Jerseys and Guernseys. Considering the fact that this was only the sec ond show in the Valley, Darnell said the cattle were exceptionally fine. There was a goodly number of cattle in the show, about eighty Jerseys and a smaller number of Guernseys. Cattle were judged and placed on the basis of scorecard which made possible for any number of animals to be in the award group. This show was based on the clas sification type which is widely used in Denmark. The award classes were in the blue, red, and white groups. The grand champion is selected from the blue ribbon winners. From the number of blue ribbon winners, it was judged that there were many good quality ani mals in this show. Time guest will be Marion Man ners who will sing “It Could Hap pen to You.” Hal Stevens, vocal star of the WTAW Glamor Manor Series, will interpret the number one tune of the week, “I’ll Walk Alone,” when she visits the program on Thurs day, November 9.

H. L. Heaton Registrar. Exten. Service Sets Up AdvisoryBranch For War Veterans Technical workers to assist re turning war veterans who are in terested in farming have been set up in 240 counties, and their ag gregate membership now numbers more than a thousand, according to Joe L. Matthews, assistant in agri cultural planning for the A. and M. College Extension Service. These committees are concerned only with men who want to farm and seek assistance and probably these won’t constitute more than 10 or 15 per cent of the total in uniform, Matthews explains. Sev eral committees are contacting service men from their counties offering assistance, and in one instance 90 per cent of more than 2,000 men received questionnaires on their plans, with replies re ceived for more than half. Rusk County sent letters to more than 3,000 service men, and similar work has been done by numerous other counties, including Eastland, and Midland. Commit tees now are gathering such in formation to furnish veterans as amount of capital required for pur chase and leasing of farms and ranches and sources of credit, size of units necessary to maintain satisfactory standards of living and equitable partnership and rental agreements. In most instances, these advisory committees are sub-committees of County Agricultural Victory Coun cils, and county agricultural agents serve as their secretaries as well as giving advice which comes with in the province of their usual offi cial duties, Matthews explains. Under an arrangement between the War Food Administration and the Selective Service organization, re turning veterans interested in agri culture are referred to the county Extension agents for assistance. Matthews says he finds wives and mothers of service men alert to after-the-war adjustments, and many home demonstration councils and clubs now are studying the G. I. Bill of Fights. Aggie-Ex, ’36, Now Air Corps Colonel Now stationed at Tinker Field, is Lt. Col. Howard H. Lock, for merly of Lockhart, Texas.

George H. Hutchings, Jr., of Ft. Worth, 22-year-old veteran of 89 combat missions over Sicily and Italy, in a retreat ceremony and parade held at McCloskey General hospital, Temple, Texas, this week. The Captain, who is now serving as Army Air Forces Liaison officer at McCloskey, was commended for his “proficiency and steadfast de votion to duty” on more than 85 combat missions and was given special recognition for his work in leading an eight-plane formation of fighter-bombers in an attack up on enemy gun positions near Cassi- no, Italy, on May 15, 1944. Citation for the medal, presented to Captain Hutchings ' by Lieut. Col. Henry C. Smith, MC, repre senting Brig. Gen. James A. Bethea, commanding general of McCloskey, describes this Cassino attack as one calling for precision accuracy in bombing, because of the close proximity of friendly ground troops. According to the citation, Cap tain Hutchings “displayed great courage and superior flying ability as he skillfully maneuvered through a heavy overcast and intense anti aircraft fire upon the approach to the target.” His deftly-directed run over the objective enabled his P- 40’s to destroy a number of mortar positions, and ammunition dump, seven motor transports, and to in flict many casualties upon enemy personnel. The Fort Worth youth, son of Mr. and Mrs. George H. Hutchings, 1108 Hurley, went overseas July 1, 1943, first piloting an A-36 fighter-bomber, and then a P-40 in dive bombing and strafing attacks upon German-held Sicily and Italy. He arrived back in the States the latter part of June, lacking just a few days ob being overseas a year, and began his assignment at Mc Closkey Sept. 28 of this year. Besides the Distinguished Flying Cross, the captain wears the Air Medal with four Oak Leaf Clus ters and the European-African theater ribbon with two stars. A graduate of Paschal High School, Fort Worth, he attended Texas A. & M. for two years before entering the cadets in March, 1942. He re ceived his wings and commission from Aloe Field, Victoria, Texas in February, 1943, was promoted to first lieutenant Jan. 28 of this year and received his captaincy June 11, 1944.
