Fall Garden School
Of Air Is Success
Outstanding success of a Fall
Garden School of the Air recently
conducted on a state network by
the A. and M. College Extension
Service assures future schools-by-
air-broadcast on other agricultural
topics of general 'interest. En
rollment for the first school totaled
6,147, the Extension Service has
announced, and communications re
vealed that large numbers of other
gardeners heard the broadcasts
but did not seek enrollment.
A poll among the enrollees
showed greatest interest in poul
try for the next Extension school
of the air, according to C. W.
Jackson, Extension information
assistant. Other listeners asked for
assistance with spring gardening,
home canning, food preparation,
orchard and swine production.
Others wanted dairying, home sew
ing, flower gardening, bee culture,
and meat curing.
Study of the results showed en
rollments came from 212 Texas
counties and from eight other
states including Indiana, South
Carolina and Tennessee. Of those
reporting, 70 per cent lived on
farms, 14 per cent in towns of less
than 2,500, and 16 per cent in larg
er cities. The check showed that as
a result of the school many gar
deners reported increased use of
fertilizer, better insect control, im
proved preparation of garden plots,
and numerous other approved gar
dening practices.
Harris County led the state in
enrollments with 543, Jackson said,
and Eastland County was second
with 203 Bastrop, Fisher, Fort
Ben, Harrison, Hunt, Leon, Tar
rant, Upshur, Waller and Zavala
counties each had more than 100
enrollees.
The school was a feature of the
Texas Farm and Home Hour broad
cast from the college each week
day at 6:02 a.m. through stations
in Fort Worth, Houston, and San
Antonio.

Chem Dept. Now
Has 1125 Students
There are 1125 Aggies and 85
A.S.T.R.P. students taking chem
istry this semester, according to
Dr. C. C. Hedges, head of the
Chemistry Department. The teach

from 23 before the war to the
present staff of 12.
Hedges stated that there were
1500 students in the fall semester
of 1942-43 compared to our present
1125.'The enrollment in the chem

higher than last summer’s enroll
ment which was the lowest in a

R. P. students will be replaced
Monday by 110 new men. The pres
ent Aggie enrollment consists of
979 freshmen, 104 sophomores, 41
juniors, and 1 graduate student.
Hedges says that “the rebuild
ing of his staff will be just as
hard at the end of this war as it
was at the end of World War I.”
The reduction in his staff has
been caused by the higher salaries
in industry and other collegees.

In common with most of the
other 455 American colleges and
universities which responded to
the company’s survey, the Texas
institutions said they would re
quire, for teaching purposes, large
quantities of the government-
owned aircraft equipment which
wil be declared surplus after the
war.
A total of 342 schools in their
replies stressed the need for sup
plying to the nation’s colleges at
low cost quantities of surplus use-
able aircraft equipment, as a fun
damental contribution to the fu
ture continuous development of av
iation education, it was pointed out.
This equipment will be made
available to the schools on sale
or lease basis, under provisions
of the federal Surplus Disposal law,
Breech stated.
Replies to the Bendix survey to
date reveal that at least 307 col
leges have specific plans for teach
ing some aspects of aviation after
the war, according to Breech, who
headed the surplus aircraft dispos

had aboard. He said that before the
last war it was somewhat of a
feat to fly the English channel and
now one finds it an every day occur
rence in flying the Atlantic or
Pacific.
The mode of transportation in
England was interestingly told.
Trains run in tubes 150 feet below
the surface. Civilians use the plat
forms of these underground pas
sages for sleeping quarters, hav
ing done this for the past five
years. They have a small mattress
about 4 inches thick which is all
they have between them and the
concrete platforms. He said auto
biles are used only for war effort,
that they are of small horse power
and are taxed by brake-power. The
tax on a 90 horse power American
car in England would be $150 per
year. The gas rations on English
cars are 5 gallons per week. There
are no A, B, nor C rations. Cloth
ing rations of 200 coupons per
year are issued and a gentlemans
suit requires 48 coupons. Cosmetics
are banned. If a lady should appear
on the streets of London with lip
stick on her lips, she would be
promptly dubbed as a customer of
the black market. If friends send
cosmetics to relatives in England,
they enjoy them in the confines
of their own homes, being sure to
remove same before going out in
to society. At this time of year
darkness covers London from 3:30
p.m. to 9:00 a.m. Complete black
out is in effect. You are not per
mitted to light a match on the
street. In a test recently a candle
was placed ten feet from a shade
less window in an area one mile
square. A plane rose to 15,00 feet
and the light from this window was
plainly visible. In the blitz of
Coventry in 1941, Mr. Evans stated
one mile square was bombed with
350 tons of explosives. One theatre
and one pub was all that was left.
He called to our attention the
thousands of tons of explosives
having been ■ dropped on Berlin,
Dussledorf and other German cities
in the past months and what de
struction they must have caused.
He outlined the defense meas
ures on the buzz bomb and the
civilian reaction to them. Mr.
Evans stated that five out of six
were being eliminated before they
reached London and that approx
imately 2900 out of 10,000 had
reached their mark destroying over
800,000 homes. Not all homes how
ever were made uninhabitable.
Business and theatres was as
usual. He said surface trains were
overcrowded, stations having to
close as much as 3J4 hours to al
low traffic to clear. He stated
although hundreds of thousands
of Londoners were evacuated dur
ing the buzz bomb blitz, almost the
same numbers would come into
London from the country to see
the buzz bombs and their effect.
Re said there was the greatest
of cooperation between the Amer
ican dough boy and the English
soldier. The closer to the front the
closer than ever in their efforts.
In the call from the front lines
for assistance for any branch of
service, it made no difference
whether it be American or English,
they surged forward as one army.
In talking with American soldiers
in London, Mr. Evans said he
asked them what they wanted most
from home. Almost without excep
tion they said they liked personal
things such as photographs, long
letters and something made by
hands of loved ones at home.
Mr. Evans cited the recent
speech of Mr. Churchill when he
pledged the cooperation of England
in the battle of the Pacific until all

Mr. Evans interspersed his re

asked of him by scores of SFA stu
dents. He told the students that
they would hold the future of the
world and that by their efforts no

four-star general in the K-9 Corp.
This was sent in order that Rev’s
rank would be the highest, for
none was too good for her.
Written on the citation is the
following inscription, “For patrio
tic and effective services rendered
in behalf of the War Dog Fund
. . . . this citation is awarded to
Cadet Corps of Texas Agricultural
and Mechanical College by the War
Dog Fund, Dogs For Defense, Inc.
Signed by Mrs. H. H. Neal, Nation
al Vice-chairman and James M.
Austin, national chairman.
For those who were not acquaint
ed with the drive for the Reveille
Fund, the brief history is again
given. When the corp became aware
that Reveille was not to be with
us very much longer, for she was
coming along in years, a drive was
started to raise funds with which
to enlist her in the K-9 Corp and to
have her portrait painted. It was
decided that Reveille should have
the highest rank possible, thus the
sum of $100, was to be raised to
have her made the rank of a four-
star general. When the drive was
underway, the quota was far over
carried and a tidy sum was left
over with which to have a por
trait painted of Reveille. Contact
was made with Miss Marie Haines,
local artist and the picture was
started. It was decided that if any
money was left over from this sur
plus, that a collar would be made
in memory of Reveille to be put in
the trophy case.
Then it happened, Reveille died
on January 18, 1943 and was laid
to rest in grand state, in front of
Kyle Field stadium. Her funeral
was one to befit the mascot of the
Aggies.
It is befitting that Reveille
should be known throughout the
nation as the mascot of the Texas
Aggies. Now she is enlisted per
manently in the roll of honor of
the K-9 Corp. Tribute to her is
final in the past and only the
future to brighten her history, is
possible.
