PAGE 4 THE BATTALION FRIDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH 2, 1945 Short Course Given At University of Houston Revealing An informal ana unofficial sur- very of public relations represen tatives and college officials of eight colleges made following a recent meeting of the American College Publicity Association- Methodist college conference and short course at the University of Houston, indicated some amazing contributions of Texas colleges to the war efforts and some striking building plans for after the war. The “sampling” ranged from the largest state colleges to one or two of the smaller colleges, includ ing Texas University, Texas Wes leyan, Southern Methodist Univer sity, Texas A. & M. College, Southwestern University, the Uni versity of Houston, Hardin-Sim- mons College, and Lon Morris College. Seven of these colleges gave ap proximate totals of men who have been enrolled in various military DR. N. B. McNUTT DENTIST Office in Parker Building Over Canady’s Pharmacy Phone 2-1457 Bryan, Texas NOTICE Is hereby given that applica tion was made on the* 26th of February 1945, by the Western Union Telegraph Company to the Federal Communications Commission to reduce the hours of service of the Tele graph Office at College Sta tion, Texas, from the present hours of service 7:30 A. M. to 10 P. M. to the hours 7:30 A. M. to 8 P. M. If the application is granted, substituted service will be available from 8 P. M. to 7:30 A. M. at the Agency Office located in the Southern Pacific Tow er, South Main Street, Bryan, Texas. Any member of the public de siring to protest or support the reduction of the hours of serv ice may communicate in writ ing with the Federal Commu nications Commission, Washington, 25, D. C. on or before March 22, 1945. programs, army, navy, air corps, and marines. No official figures have been or can be given, but es timates totaled 46,400 since before the outbreak of the war and cov ering many programs already sus pended. This, it was pointed out, totals some three divisions of fighting men. Six colleges estimated a total of 37,000 former students in academic programs now serving in the mili tary forces. This figure included about 1,465 known to have died in service from the six colleges re porting. Some 65,000 students, war work ers, or prospective war workers have been trained in the war train ing program of the federal gov ernment, known officially as the Engineering, Science and War Man agement program, by four colleges reporting, A. & M., Texas, the University of Houston, and Hardin- Simmons. Seven colleges also reported ap proximate figures of veterans of World War I now enrolled on their campuses. These ranged from one veteran at a small college to 150 in the University of Houston and 300 in the University of Texas, and totaled 612. These are mainly un der the G. I. Bill of Rights, but also include those under the Rehabilita tion program. Building plans, already announc ed, or estimated unofficially by college representatives of eight colleges, will keep a good many workers busy for many months af ter the war. These ranged from a 12 million dollar estimate to one larger college to the two million dollar estimate for new buildings and rehabilitation on a small church college campus. It totals 31 million dollars, and even this was figured tg be a conservative estimate and not enough to cover all expected needs for ten years following the war—with the great influx of students to college cam puses indicated by recent surveys. Brownsville Ex Dies On German Front It has been announced by the War Department that Pfc. Lewis A. Stein of Brownsville has been killed in action somewhere in Ger many. Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Stein, his parents, received word from the War Department on the 24th of January that their son was missing in action, and last week the news of his death reached them. Stein was in the class of 1946, and while attending A. & M. he was an All-Southwest Conference swimmer. Overseas and fighting with the Seventh Army for less than a month, Pfc. Stein was wounded ear- Firestone to Bring Champ Steer Here Teddy, 1944 grand champion steer of the Chicago Fat Stock Show, will be on exhibit at the Texas A. & M. College March 6 through March 10, it was announc ed today by F. I. Dahlberg, acting herd of the Department of Animal Husbandry. Cattlemen, instructors in ani mal husbandry, Texas A. & M. stu dents, 4-H Club members, Future Farmers and others who may visit the campus will have an opportu nity on these dates of observing the characteristics which set Ted dy apart from other steers. Teddy provides a living example of the importance of a full, blocky frame, ribs that are well sprung, a short, full face, excellent flesh and finish and all the other qual ities which helped his former own er, 18-year-old Ben Greve, a 4-H Club member from Bryant, Iowa, win the most coveted purple rib bon of the livestock world. Placed upon the auction block, Teddy was purchased by the Fire stone Tire and Rubber Company for $4.50 per pound—third highest price in Chicago’s livestock his tory. The 1944 champion, an 1170- pound Hereford, will arrive here in a glistening mobile stable of prewar construction, in which he is traveling to agricultural col leges throughout the country where he is appearing as an out standing example of a nearly per fect meat animal. Teddy, who competed against a record entry list of 790 fat steers in winning the title, is the fourth grand champion of the Chicago show owned by Firestone. The first was Mercer, an Aberdeen-Angus purchased at the 1938 Internation al, prewar version of the Chicago Fat Stock Show, the second was Sargo, a Hereford, 1939 world champion; and the other was the 1941 title winner, Loyal Alumnus 4th, a Shorthorn-Angus cross. At considerable company ex pense, the Firestone directors are staging Teddy’s exhibition through out the country as a public service in order that current and future cattlemen may study such a prize winning animal. J. C. Dilworth Named Head of Saddle Club Tuesday night at 7:30 P. M., the Saddle and Sirloin Club was re established, after a discontinuance of approximately two years, in the lecture room of the Animal Indus tries building. Twenty three mem bers were present and the follow ing club officers were chosen: J. C. Dilworth, ’46, president; GuS Celaya, ’47, vice-president; L. D. Booker, ’47, secretary, and H. W. Broome, class of ’48, Treasurer. The Saddle and Sirloin Club has been in existance many years. It was discontinued in 1942 because of wartime conditions which brought about a curtainment of the clubs activities. One function of the club was to raise enough money to send an Aggie livestock judging team to National contests. Some of the club’s prewar acti vities included the presentation of the Cattleman’s Ball, a very color ful event, an annalrodeo, barbecue, and the arrangement of lectures by prominent men of the livestock industry. Present mefbers of the club are looking forward to a successful year, and hope to carry on as many of the club’s prewar activities as possible. T. u. Medical School Prof. Visits Campus Dr. C. M.

Under the supervision of Mr. Birdwell the store has been proclaimed the best operated of its kind in the state. There is no profit made by the store; thus the merchandise is of fered to the students very cheaply. One of Mr. Birdwell’s many oth er duties was publisher of the “News from Tarleton,” a little pa per which is mailed to the ex- Tarletonites who are in the armed services. Woods litter holds water, pre vents runoff, shades the roots and has great fertilizer value. A ton of longleaf pine needles contains 22 pounds of nitrogen. Texas Forest Service Launches Project to Map Timber Lands Lacking definite information on Texas timber regions, the Texas Forest Service, A. & M. College, has launched a broadscale mapping project to determine the exact locations and boundaries of all major forest regions of the state. Director W. E. White of the forest service said today the pro ject would take a year to complete The ability to support and pro duce plentifully and in variety made America great; it must be sus tained if America is to stay great. And it can be sustained only if the fountain of productiveness—the soil—is guarded and preserved. AGGIES! - A. S. T. P.! The A. & M.

Most of the work will be done by airplanes in cooperation with the Civil Air Patrol-Texas Forest Patrol. Existing aerial photographs and maps obtained from the army are being used to line out flight missions for the planes and for checking purposes. When completed the timber maps will serve as the basis for planning forest fire protection ac tivities, White revealed. They also will be used for economic sur veys of the various forest resources of the state and for general for estry conservation and adminis trative work. Plane crews have completed the initial survey of the East Texas pine and hardwood commercial timber region. Preliminary reports on the “lost pines” in Bastrop and Fayette counties already indicate those pines may not be “lost” af ter all. White said his aerial crews found spots of pine between this area and the East Texas belt, which might mean that once there was a narrow belt of pine joining the areas. The mapping work will be start ed next in the post oak belt and will then cover the cedar brakes, cross timbers, mesquite and live oak regions and finally the West Texas mountain tree area.
