Brayton served as a member of
the Fire Services committee of
President Truman’s Fire Perven-
tion committee, which met in
Washington last May. He recently
has been appointed by Governor
Beauford Jester as chairman of the
fire training section of the gover

The Fire Service Extension
training has been directed by Wil
liams since 1934. This program of
training in local communities has
been recognized as the outstand
ing state extension program in
training of local departments and
personnel in state institutions, in
dustries, and rural areas.
The advisory board and offi
cials of the college feel that the
consolidation of all training ef
forts and expansion of the pro
gram will render an outstanding
service to the citizens of the state.
As the president and the governor
have emphasized, the increasing
loss of life and a fire loss approach
ing a billion dollars annually is a
national calamity. The college is
determined to render maximum
assistance by this new program
in overcoming these conditions in
Texas.

completion.
Appointments on the committee
have been made from all live

state, including Jersey, Guernsey,
Aberdeen Angus, Brahma, Here
ford, and milk goat associations.

USDA’s Bureau of Animal Indus
try, the state department of health,
the Extension Service, Agricul
tural Experiment Station, and the
teaching division of A. & M. are
represented on the committee to
curb the high toll that Bang’s dis
ease, or Brucellosis, is taking
among the state’s livestock.
Dr. E. A. Grist, extension veteri
narian at A. & M., says that sev
eral new ideas have already been
set forth for consideration of the
committee, one proposal being a
vaccination program for heifers
without tests of adult animals. An
other is the possibility of complete
herd vaccination with special per
mission. Also up for discussion by
the committee is a plan to include
local practicing veterinarians in
a Bang’s disease control plan.
The committee will next meet
in Fort Worth on February 12.
