George Ayers Opens
New Laundry Service
In College Hills
Geoi’ge Ayers, who has 31 years
of experience in the laundry bus
iness, 30 of which were spent with
the A. & M. Laundry, is the new
est College Station business man,
having opened a modern first-
class laundry on Foster street in
College Hills.
At present Mr. Ayers is able to
give three-day service as a regular
feature and one-day service when
absolutely required. His equipment,
he states, is new and modern and
he intends to provide highest qual
ity laundry work.

ball, and baseball are his favorite
sports. As to women, he said that
he liked them about 5 feet 3 inches
with dark hair and all the trim
mings and accessories well devel
oped and nicely placed, and nat
urally accompanied with a good
personality and good dancing abil
ity.
When asked what made him de
cide to come to Aggieland he stated
that because his father was an
Ex, A. & M. was always mentioned
around the house, and his sister
had always gone with Aggies and
he enjoyed those good looking Sen
ior boots that he used to see in his
front room and decided that he
wanted to be able to wear a pair
of them, and besides that he want
ed to be an Aggie.
One incident in his life on the
campus that he will never forget
was back in the spring of 1943
when practically all of the Juniors
and Seniors were inducted into the
service and came back to the cam
pus dressed in G'I’s and army shoes
instead of ice creams, serge and
boots.
Crabtree feels that there is no
other school like A. & M., and
there probably never will be. He
said that at A. & M. a fellow learns
to live and get along with other
guys, which is something that we

Crabtree, who is president of
the Fort Worth A. & M. Club,

member of the Singing Cadets, ex

Upon graduating he would like

College Station Ex
Awarded Bronze Star
Captain Clarence B. Hewitt of
College Station recently was
awarded the Bronze Star “for mer
itorious service in Germany in con
nection with military operations
against the enemy” from Nov. 24,
1944 to March 25, 1945.
Captain Hewitt, formerly of
Groesbeckr, was a Liberal Arts
graduate of the Texas A&M Col
lege in 1937. He immediately went
with the AAA, then in 1942 enter
ed an officer candidate school. Mrs.
Hewitt is the former Ruth Hob
son of Cameron, formerly employ
ed with the Athletic Department
of the College. Captain Hewitt is
in field artillery assigned to the
102nd Infantry Division.
His citation also reads in part:
‘Even during periods of rapid move,
Captain Hewitt maintained com
munications and insured that artil
lery support was furnished when
ever needed by assault units. Fre
quently visiting the front lines, he
secured accurate information there
by considerably assisting his unit
in the accomplishment of its mis
sion. His untiring energy and de
votion to duty reflects great credit
upon himself and the military serv
ice.”

Bus Lines Moved
From Aggieland Inn
Effective Tuesday, May 1, all
buses of the Greyhound and Kerr
ville Bus Lines no longer will use
the Aggieland Inn on the Texas
A. & M. College campus as their
official station for College Sta
tion, W. H. Holzman, business
manager of the college, has an
nounced. He explains that lack of
proper waiting room facilities on
the campus made it necessary that
the college take the action it
found necessary.
At the same time it was an
nounced that E. E. Ames, for
merly a driver for the Greyhound
Lines, has been appointed agent
for both Greyhound and Kerr
ville Bus Lines at College Sta
tion and has opened ticket office
and waiting room in the first
building east of the Student Co-Op
Store in the North Gate area, ad
jacent to the Catholic church.
The change will have no effect
on the scheduled stopping points
on the campus by the Bryan-

The tension is built up greater and

then, when it has risen almost to
the breaking point, the climax is
reached, and a very skillful ending
is achieved.
Edward G. Robinson as Wanley
is such a pathetic little man, so
out of place in the intrigue and
complexities of his situation that
he immediately wins the compas

for this compassion many of his

stead they bring more gasps of
fear than chuckles.

part of her time to lecturing on
literature and arts.
In 1891 she was married to
Frederick George Barry, represen
tative in Congress from Mississip
pi, but after his death near the
turn of the century, Mrs. Barry
resumed her work in the English
department at Kidd-Key.
At the request of Dr. W. B. Biz-
zell, then president, Mrs. Barry
came to Texas A. and M. College
in 1918 to do some special work.
Later she accepted the position
of specialist for women’s organiza
tions for the A. and M. College
Extension Service. After partial
retirement some 10 years ago,
Mrs. Barry remained in active touch
with Extension work as adviser
in rural organization.
When she assumed her work at
A. and M., Mrs. Barry brought to
it a wealth of culture and exper
ience in organisation methods.
After she had studied the field she
saw these needs in home demon
stration work: more active support
of home demonstration by the
large lay organizations of women
promoting education and varied
forms of social welfare; a more
active interest and organized local
support by rural women in them
selves in counties where home
demonstration work was being car
ried on; development of potential
leadership among rural women.
She at first thought this devel
opment of leadership might be most
readily accomplished by relating
rural women to the existing organ
izations of urban women who had
attained civic consciousness. She
soon realized that such a plan was
a mistake. Out of this experience
came the theory of education
through organization that under
lies all home demonstration organ
izations: Such organizations must
follow the law of natural growth
which is from the bottom up and
from the inside out. The results
should be the development of the
membership as individuals, as home
makers and parents and as citizens.
In accordance with this, emphasis
was placed on organization of
local home demonstration clubs in
rural communities. When leadership
and experience in club procedure
and community activity created a
desire for wider functioning county
hoiiie demonstration councils were
organized in 1924 and in 1933 the
home demonstration clubs organiz
ed the Texas Home Demonstration
Association.
Mrs. Barry’s organization abil
ities attracted attention of General
Federation officers, and she was
persuaded to serve as member of
the executive committee, the board
of directors and to accept several
other responsibilities of the Gen
eral Federation of Women’s Clubs.
melodrama of a modern bride’s
search for happiness. The picture
stars Lana Turner as a frivolous
society girl who finds herself sud
denly forced to settle down and
make a home for her war-time
husband. Left alone much of the
time she is tempted to try her at
tractiveness on other men and al
most wrecks her marriage.
Perhaps her greatest contribution
was the organization of the Federa
tion’s Department of the Ameri
can Home, which she served as
chairman. As a member of the
American Home Department she
wrote an amendment to the Capper-
Ketcham Bill which provided not
only increased funds for Extension
Service work but ir> addition pro
vided for a more equitable propor
tion of agricultural and home dem
onstration agents in counties bene-
fitting from Extension appropria
tions. Previously, 75 per cent of
the counties in the nation had agri
cultural agents, and only 25 per
cent had county home demonstra
tion agents.
