Mrs. E. H. Templin
EntertainsNewcomers
With Bridge Party
Mrs. E. H. Templin was hostess
to the Newcomers Club on Friday,
July 6, at her home in Oakwood.
Roses in shades of pink and red
adorned the home.
After a short business meeting
presided over by Mrs. A. E. Shear-
in, president of the club, a series
of bridge games was enjoyed. Mrs.
R. V. Lamb received the high-score
prize, a box of attractive station
ery, and Mrs. W. L. Fly was pre-
sentdd with lip-istick towels as
winner of second high score prize.
The cut prize of fragrant talcum
powder was won by Mrs. A. R.
Orr.
A dessert course of ice cream
and cake was served to fourteen
members and one visitor.
the night classes for nurse’s aide,
originally scheduled for this month
will not start until in the fall. This
change of date has been made to
avoid any break in the course by
summer vacation plans of the
prospective students.
One class of 10 has graduated
and is giving time to the hospital
at Bryan Army Air Field, and a
second class of nine, while still in
training is also working at that
hospital. Also, there is one Nurse’s
Aide transfer from Plattsburg,
N. Y. on duty with the Corps.
The Staff at BAAF Hospitals,
have said that they are pleased
with the regular and satisfactory
service to the hospital being given
by these nurse’s aides.
Mrs. Spence and her committee
express thanks for fine response
they have received from the women
of the communities of Bryan and
College Station, and feel sure that
the women of these communities
will hold themselves in readiness
to respond for further call, when
the demand is made upon them.
Peace Conference
Analyzed by Bass
At Hillel Meeting
A clear and thorough analysis
of the San Francisco Conference
was given by Dr. J. H. Bass of the
History Department at the meet
ing of the Hillel Club on Sunday
July 8th. Dr. Bass first outlined
the steps that led to the United
Nations Conference beginning with
the Roosevelt’s declaration of the
Four Freedoms through the At
lantic Charter, the Bretton Woods,
Dumbarton Oaks, showing the
growth and expansion of our ef
forts for a World Peace.
Dr. Bass then presented the dia
gram of the International Organi
zation as first proposed at Dum
barton Oaks which was carried out
with fuller details at the San
Francisco Conference. He explain
ed the set-up of the General As*
sembly, the Security Council, the
International Court of Justice in
their many ramifications, then
gave a chapter by chapter analysis
of the Charter.
A lively discussion followed the
meeting. The attendance was not
large but those present showed
their interest in the subject and in

Last Saturday night the Grove
was the scene of a Juke Box Prom
given for the corps and ASTP by
the Aggie Ex-Servicemen’s Club.
The music was of ye olde favorites,
Messrs. James, Dorsey, Miller,
Carmichael, and the Ink Spots
among others, and with that help,
how those couples took the floor!
There was plenty of room for all,
a big percentage of dates, and two
official canines to handle the bird-
dogging.
Among the approximately 150
guests, there was the usual per
centage of “poor” Frogs who
weren’t exactly sure of their wolf
ing power and ended up by trying
their techniques on dates of the
ASTP men. Nobody was too suc
cessful, because, as J. R. Patterson
from Little Rock, Arkansas put
it, “You never know whether the
girl you cut in on is married or
not.” But the girls went for it in a
big way. Mary Jo Tobias, a Tessy-
ite from Bryan, didn’t hestitate to
say, “They should have them all
summer—every Saturday night”—
she meant the dance, of course.
R. R. Criswell, the club’s presi
dent (who incidentally didn’t think
the lights were low enough, so he
found a step ladder and took to
unscrewing half the bulbs in the
place) has more plans for the fu-
Man, Your Manners
By I. Sherwood
Answers to last week’s questions.
1. It is quite possible that some
young men don’t want their invi
tations refused or they are doing
a little detective work, so ask
“What are you doing tonight?”
2. Grandmother used to think
nothing of keeping her beau wait
ing on hour or more—sort of a
test of his devotion to her. The
modern girl should be on time for
her date—not even ten minutes
late.
3. One reasonable way to fit into
the financial scheme of a dinner
date is to be content with ordering
something simple the first time
and then on later “dates” be more
or less guided by what the young
man ordered the time before.
4. Most girls would not want to
hurt a man’s pride by offering
him money even if he had been
frank about the flatness of his
purse. However, I’m told that in
“Co-ed” schools it is sometimes
done.
5. It is the girl's privilege to sug'
gest not finishing a dance, if she
wishes.
6. If a gift corsage clashes With
your dress, change the dress or
wear the flowers in your hair, but
wear them you must—the book
says.
7. You will do better by paying
for your own meals. Acknowledge
the offer with a ‘Thank you”.
8. Whether the young man ob
jects or not, it is proper to ask if
the invitation calls for formal or
informal attire, if he doesn’t offer

of the people of Colombia difficult,
this country is famous for its
higher education. Primary educa
tion is free and compulsory. Better
and more intensive training of
teachers, establishment of traveling
libraries, use of the radio, motion
pictures, and official publications
to reach teachers in remote re-
gions-all have contributed toward
increasing literacy in Colombia.
For the past forty years Colom
bia’s administrations have alter
nated between the two traditionally
major political parties—the Con
servatives and the Liberals. Dur
ing the administration by the Con-
servatists, roads,and railroads were
built, and agricultural and com
mercial enterprises were fostered.
Expansion of the public school sys
tem, removal of educational con
trol from the church, wider con
trol of business enterprises, con
struction of new highways, public
health improvement, and new tax
ation systems have resulted from
this administration.
Colombia at War
Colombia’s contribution to the
war effort of the United Nations
has been an extensive one. Long be
fore Pearl Harbor the government
took away from German hands the
ownership of the air lines. She
granted the United States the right
to construct bases for the defense
of the Panama Canal. Her econo
mic facilities were quickly mobi-
ized for war; oil, quinine, rubber,
platinum, and foodstuffs are flow
ing to the United Nations to be
used in the prosecution of this
war.

There’s to be a watermelon feast
soon, and the members will be
notified of time and place by post

shape to improve and enlarge the
clubhouse and to make ready for
the membership which will soon
