Petitions were circulated for signa ture requesting the government of Brazos county calling an election whereby the citizens of the com munity could vote for or against the question of incorporation. This election was held on October 19, 1938, and resulted in 217 votes favoring incorporation to 39 votes in opposition. Arguments by those favoring in corporation had been that the community would thereby be bet ter organized, that school facilities could be improved, lower fire in surance rates could be obtained, police protection could be increas ed, and the general welfare could be better served. Binney is First Mayor Another mass meeting was call ed to select temporary city officers who were to serve until April 4, 1939 when officials for the next biennium were to be chosen. On Nov. 18, 1938 a slate including J. H. Binney as mayor, J. S. Hopper as city marshal, and L. G. Jones, L. P. Gabbard, Ernest Langford, Alva Mitchell, and G. B. Wilcox as aldermen, was chosen. These were elected on Nov. 28, 1938. All seven city officials were em ployees of the Texas A. & M. Col lege and question was raised of their serving also as municipal of ficers. When the question was put to the attorney general’s depart ment it brought a ruling that Col lege employees were state employ ees and therefore could not serve as municipal officers. However, the question was resubmitted to Gerald Mann after he took office in Jan uary 1939 and on Feb. 24, 1939, Mann ruled that College employees were not state employees, that “town officers are not officers un der the state but are officers un der a city exclusively.” It was not until receipt of the latter ruling that officials of the City of College Station who had been elected the preceding Novem ber took office on March 2, 1939. —FRESHMEN— Continued from Page 1 pose of these meetings with the deans is to assist each freshman in his vocational career and in his choice of courses. These meetings will feature local speakers, with the deans or the heads of the de partments usually presiding. Wilcox requested that an an nouncement be made to the effect that results of the examination given to new freshmen are now recorded in his office on the fresh men record cards, and are recorded in duplicate in the various deans’ offices. Anyone desiring an ex planation or an intrepretation of his examination results can call either at his dean’s office or at the Student Personnel Office in Room 119, Academic Building.

The Harvard University school of public health has written Fred Hale, chief of the swine division, Texas Agricultural Experiment Station, for copies of all the work Hale and his associates did in re search on vitamin A deficiency be tween 1933 and 1937. Virginia Beal, nutritionist in the Harvard department of maternal and child health wrote Hale that they have been doing research in the relation of nutrition during pregnancy to the course of pregnancy, labor and the postpartum period. Further work is planned on the relation of vitamin A to blindness in infants. It is for this latter investigation that Miss Beal became interested in the published research data compiled by Hale several years ago. Dr. John Ashton was among 85 authors contributing to the 381- page “Plants and Plant Science in Latin America” which has just been published by Chronica Botan- ica Co., Waltham, Mass. The chapter written by Dr. Ashton is “Plant Resources and Flora of Nicaragua,” in which country he lived two years as special agricul tural representative of the United States government. This volume is one of a series of plant science books which will be used in libra ries of the country as a reference work on plant resources in the Latin American countries. Mary L.

Benson, Dough Rollins, director of student affairs, and Joe Skiles, manager of student activities. Man, Your Manners By I. Sherwood In a restaurant, the other day, a young man sat at a table and combed his hair; later he cleaned his finger nails. All of this was done before he began to eat, but important as the care of the per son is, it is not supposed to be attended to in public; it is not a very alluring sight. A girl loses some of her charm when she combs her hair or puts on make-up in public. Advertisers admonish you to keep up a good appearance, and it cannot be denied that appear ance does count, for the man as well as for the woman. One of the things judge you by is your ap pearance. Watch your own reac tion to others who are neat and clean and see if it isn’t easy to like them right from the start. ' Good health is the basis on which an attractive appearance is built. Cleanliness, neatness and atten tion to details are the “indispensa- bles” of good grooming. Cleanli ness gives you the look of social fitness. With a little effort anyone can have that charm. Social Usage for Young Moderns admises that you be on the alert in the care of your clothes and your body lest the great “common enemy”, B. O., overtakes you. Authorities on manners usually give a chapter to personal appear ance or grooming—read them. DR. N. B.
