they carried the title of director.
In 1944 Dr. Gilchrist was elevated
to the post of president of the
Agricultural and Mechanical Col
lege, and Mr. Spence became man
ager of the college construction
program. At the present time Dr.
H. W. Barlow, dean of engineer
ing, is acting director of the sta
tion, and Dr. Jakkula is the acting
vice-director.
During the past thirty years the
station has issued 79 bulletins on
a variety of subjects and at the
present time six more are in the
hands of the printer or in the
manuscript stage. The station is
conducting research on ten pro
jects at present, involving one in
cooperation with the U. S. Public
Roads Administration, one in co
operation with the Texas Agricul
tural Experiment Station, one in
cooperation with the American
Society of Heating and Ventilating
Engineers, and two in cooperation
with the Cotton Research Com
mittee of Texas. Thus, the station
is fulfilling the objectives stated
when it was created.
The station maintains adminis
trative offices in the Petroleum
building, a laboratory for the
testing of attic fans in cooperation
with the Department of Mechanical
Engineering, a laboratory for all
types of chemical analyses in co
operation with the Department of
Municipal and Sanitary Engineer
ing, and a complete building, the
Cottonseed Products Research
Laboratory, in cooperation with the
Department of Chemical En
gineering. It is in this building that
the cooperative work with the
Cotton Research Committee of Tex
as is conducted and that the ex
pensive equipment loaned or dona
ted by the Texas Cottonseed Crush
ers Association is housed.
“The station makes it a policy
to conduct its research through the
staffs of the teaching depart
ments,” Dr. Jakkula explained.
“This policy keeps the faculty
abreast of modern developments
in their fields—in fact, it enables
them to make developments. It
enables the students of A. & M.
College to become familiar with
research techniques and with the
great part research plays in all
modern developments.
“The station hopes to continue
the policies established by its
former administrators but hopes
to play a greater part in the indus
trial development of Texas then
in the past.”

each Chinese Army and certain
lower echelons.
As a member of one of these
liaison teams, Major Spangler
crossed the Salween River at the
opening of the Salween Campaign
in May, 1944, and for almost six
months was continuously working
with Chinese pack outfits supply
ing an Army in the rugged, pre
cipitous Kaoli Kung mountains
spur of the Himalayas. Operations
frequently were well over 10,000
feet above sea level, sometimes in
sleet, and for months during the
monsoon rains in a morass of gum

Procedure for veterans of World
War II to obtain farm loans has
been announced by the Veterans’
Administration and the U. S.
Department of Agriculture. The
loan program was provided for by
the G. I. Bill of rights, and neces
sary applications and other forms
for veterans to use are expected
to be distributed locally about
January 1.
Regulations are quite similar to
those connected with the home loan
provisions of the law which al
ready are in operation, according
to Joe L. Matthews of the A. and
M. College Extension Service, who
is directing Extension’s program
for veterans’ assistance. In addi
tion to being useid for purchase of
real estate, funds can be loaned
for purchase, repair or improve
ment of equipment or for the ppr-
chase of livestock or any other
supplies needed for operating a
farm.
Veterans also may use the money
for paying off delinquent indebt
edness if the place is to be used
as a home. Mortgages will be re
quired on all guaranteed loans un
less the amount involved is $500
or less. In that event, a loan may
be guaranteed on evidence of good
character and reasonable ability to
pay.
The new procedure just an
nounced recognizes assistance
which can be rendered by county
advisory committees which have
been set up under direction of
county Extension Service Agents.
It also provides for the appoint
ment of a Veterans’ Loan Com
mittee which will have the same
membership as the FSA’s Bank-
head Jones Tenant Farmer Com
mittee, with the addition of one
member who must be a veteran,
and if possible a business man.
The Farm Credit Administration
has the responsibility for making
appraisals.
Matthews says county advisory
committees still will be expected to
help veterans locate farms for
purchase or rent, and to inform
and guide them about safe mar
gins of debts, the kinds, of credit
available, and about partnerships
and leases which are locally suc
cessful.
to operate, most of my work has
been with pack mules,” he ex
plains.
“At first we rather scoffed at
the primitive pack equipment, but
soon after getting into the field
we recognized its merits.” Enlarg
ing on this he explains that, “with
the detachable Chinese pack, the
pack rolls clear of the animal
when they both fall off the trail—
which is, to our discomfort, too
often.”
Besides supervising the care of
animals with the Chinese Army,
and directing some of the activities
of the “mafus” (Chinese caretakers
of horses: hostlers), Major Spang
ler has experience in procuring
pack animals in China. His largest
single procurement was 800 horses,
which it took him and his inter
preter quite some days to buy
from the mountaineers of several
villages in southwestern China.
“We are surrounded with the
most beautiful mountain scenery
in the world, but the scenery does
not impress you much when your
lungs are bursting at 10,000 feet
in the air," the major muses.
His wife and children, Dick, age
7; Sam, age 5; and Ann, age 2:
are living at 2618 Wooldridgte
Drive, Austin, Texas, while he is
overseas.
Major Spangler is the son of
Dr. and Mrs. S. E. Spangler of
Somerset, Ohio. He was graduated
in veterinary medicine from Ohio
State University, Columbus, Ohio,
in the class of 1935, and went from
there to the staff of Texas A. &
M. College. His relatives in the
Armed Forces include Corporal
Charles Spangler, Marine Corps,
on duty in the Southwest Pacific,
and Major Fred Spangler, U. S.
Army Medical Corps, on duty in
New Guinea.
For his services in the field
since October, 1943, with Y-Force
Operations Staff, Major Spangler
is entitled to wear a bronze star on
his Asiatic Campaign ribbon.

DFC Awarded to
Fortress Pilot
AN EIGHTH AIR FORCE
BOMBER STATION, ENGLAND.
—The Distinguished Flying Cross
has been awarded to First Lieut
enant William A. Sanders, Jr., 27,
of Cleburne, Texas, for “courage,
coolness and skill .... “and” . . .
meritorious achievement” during a
bombing attack upon the tank fac
tories at Kassel, Germany, in Sep
tember, 1944.
Lt. Sanders is the pilot of an
Eighth Air Force B-17 Flying
Fortress in the 385th Bombard
ment Group commanded by Col
onel George Y. Jumper, Natoma,
California. This group is a part of
the Third Bombardment Division
which was cited by the President
for its now-historic England-Afri-
ca shuttle bombing of the Messer-
schmitt airplane plants at Regens
burg, Germany, in August, 1943.
The DFC was awarded to Lt.
Sanders for bringing his badly
battered Fortress home after it
had suffered severe flak damage.
The incident sharted while the
Fortress was in the middle of the
bombing run, when a burst of flak
struck the No. 1 engine. Other
bursts accounted for 26 holes in
the nose of the plane, severed the
rudder control cable and the trim
cable, and shot away the rudder
fin and trim tab. This left the pilot
with almost no control over the
plane. However, he nursed the
Fortress back across the Channel
and landed at a field near the
English coast, despite visibility of
only 300 feet, and by using throttle
control in lieu of the rudder, to
land the plane.
The son of Mr. and Mrs. William
A. Sanders, Sr., RFD No. 3, Cle
burne, he graduated from Cleburne
High School, and later attended
Texas A. & M., where he studied
petroleum engineering. He was ac
tive in football and basketball
while in school. He entered the
Army in September, 1941, serving
in the infantry before transferring
to the Air Forces and receiving
his wings at Stockton, California
in January, 1944. His wife, the
former Miss Eugenia L. Locker
and their infant daughter live at
416 West Henderson Street, Cle
burne. He holds, in addition to the
DFC, the Air Medal with two Oak
Leaf clusters.

Self-Medication May
Turn Simple Ailments
Into Serious Illness
There are many persons who
naturally hoard anything and every
thing including old clothes, boxes,
and other useless articles, some of
which constitute no greater dan
ger than a possible fire hazard, but
a very real danger is present when
this tendency is applied to hoarding
old medicine in any form.
Most medicine finds itself into
the home through a doctor’s pre
scribing it for some specific illness.
For the sake of safety, left-over
medicine should be destroyed im
mediately when they have fulfilled
their purpose and never be stored
in the medicine cabinet for future
unprescribed use in case of another
illness, according to Dr. Geo. W.
Cox, State Health Officer.
“Self-medication with the use of
left-over drugs which were of great
benefit to some previous illness can
sometimes turn a simple ailment
into a very serious condition of
actual poisoning,” Dr. Cox said.
“This is particularly true of the
indiscriminate use of sulfa drugs
which have been prescribed for
some previous specific condition.”
Retaining in the medicine cabinet
old left-over drugs can often bring
about unnecessary tragedies. About
three years ago one two-year-old
youngster in this state, attracted
by all of the bright bottles and
colored medicine he found in a
bathroom medicine closet, swal
lowed some pills which had been
used for an adult heart condition
and died within less than two hours’
time.
“It is wise to use medicine as in
dicated for the illness for which
they are prescribed by your doc
tor, and when they are no longer
needed destroy the remaining med
icine immediately,” Dr. Cox said.
“Even if you expect a return of
the same condition at some future
date, it would be better to obtain
new medicine if the condition re
curs than to retain this old med
icine in the cabinet and subject the
members of your family to the
danger of using it unwisely.”
