Back On Campus
Without a Band
Russell R. (Curly) Brient, Jr.,
class of 1943, has returned this
semester to A. & M. to complete
his education in the field of Me
chanical Engineering.
In 1942, Curly was leader of
the Aggieland orchestra, and it
was during his leadership that the
band played some of its all-time
important engagements. These
three outstanding engagements
were played for the Fitch Band
Wagon, when that program came
to Texas; playing for the “Show
Time Broadcast” for the Inter
state Theater; and appearing in
the motion picture presented of
A.&M. life, “We’ve Never Been
Licked.”
Curley served over three years
as an officer in the Paratrooper
Artillery, spending his overseas
time in the Pacific theater. He
was wounded in the Philippines
and sent back to the states. He
wears the Silver Star among other
decorations.
When asked if he planned to go
back with the orchestra, he says,
“No,” I am going to spend my
time studying and supporting th,e
football club.”

Dairy Improvement
Ass’n Course Here
A training course for supervis
ors of various Dairy Herd Im
provement Associations through
out the state was conducted
by the Extension Service here last
week.
The encouraging of the organi
zation of new associations was the
theme of the course since the
number of Improvement Associa
tions in the state declined sharp
ly during the war. There are now
only twelve active associations in
the state.
The training course was super
vised by J. W. DaVrs of the Exten
sion Service. He is assisted by
G. G. Gibson. Instructors in
clude A. L. Darnell and Dr. I. W.
Rupel of the Dairy Husbandry
Department, Dr. E. A Grist of the
Extension Service and O. C. Cope
land of the Dairy Division of the
Experiment Station.
The course consisted of lectures
and tours of the College Cream
ery, College Dairy Herd, and the
Experiment Station Dairy Barns.
This is the fourth such course
held this year at Texas A. & M.

the American Institute of Chemical

Joske’s to Erect
Branch Store Here
What is that new building being
constructed by the side of the
Campus Theater? That question
has been asked by many on the
campus, probably because of the
unusual construction of the build
ing. The building is to be occu
pied by Joske’s of San Antonio,
and will be a men’s furnishings
store. The erection is being done
by R. B. Butler Construction Co.
of Bryan.
Construction of the building is
rather unique in that forms are
made and placed in position with
reenforcing steel rods in the cen
ter. A mixture of concrete is
then poured and allowed to set.
After the concrete has hardened,
the forms are removed and
raised, being held in place by
struts, the slanted boards to the
sides of the building. The pro
cess of pouring concrete is re
peated, thereby building the wall
to the desired height.
It is expected that the build
ing will be completed by Septem
ber 1.
- Shortages in household items
especially soap, will continue if
more fat is not salvaged. House
wives are encouraged to save the
fat from hens that are being culled
and canned now.
Dr. Trotter Speaks
In Colorado
Director Ide P. Trotter of the A.
and M. College Extension Service
spoke this week in Colorado while
attending Extension and agricul
tural conferences, according to an
announcement by J. D. Prewit,

After attending the Western
States Regional Extension Con
ference in Fort Collins August
4-6, Dr. Trotter will go to Ester
Park for the joint meeting of the
Northern and Southern Great
Plains Councils. At the latter,
special emphasis will be given
to problems of conservation in the
Great Plains area.
Owen Garrigan
Still Improving
Owen Garrigan, college horse
man, continues to improve from
injuries received when he was
kicked in the head by a horse, Aug.
16. Attendants at the St. Joseph
Hospital, where Mr. Garrigan is
a patient, say that he is still in a
serious condition but has improv
ed greatly. Mr. Garrigan, who is
63 years old, was kicked by a thor
oughbred mare when working with
her. He has been college horseman
for thirty years and has been out
standing in the college horsebreed

An Announcement to
STATE FARM POLICYHOLDERS
New cars will soon be here.
Many of you will be buying
cars out of income on a de
ferred payment plan. Old style,
costly financing methods are
“out”.
Arrangements have been made
with local banks in this territory
to finance cars for State Farm
policyholders at reasonable rates.
And you can continue to enjoy
the benefits of your State Farm
Mutual protection.
This service is also available
to careful drivers, not now in
sured with State Farm. In most
cases it saves the buyers many
dollars.
See or call me now. I’ll be
glad to give you the details of
this money saving plan.
