for March.

The club also decided to have a

Local C of C Plans
To Have Anneal
Cleanup Campaign
A spring cleanup campaign -was
planned by. the College Station De
velopment Association and Cham
ber of Commerce at their meeting
last week.
George Potter heads the commit
tee perfecting plans for the com
munity-wide activity. Details will
be announced in the near future,
he said.
Plans for use in Bryan and Col
lege Station of an audiometer pur
chased by the development asso
ciation and the Kiwanis Club were
discussed. This equipment will be
used in the schools of both com
munities to check hearing facility
of pupils.
Budget for the year was appro
ved as presented by N. D. Durst,
chairman of the finance commit
tee. A long list of projects was ap
proved and committee chairmen as
sured the association board that
adequate provision had been made
to carry the work to completion.
Sufficient funds were appropria
ted to insure carrying on the driv
er training program at the A&M
Consolidated School, at least for
the balance of the year.
which he found upon his arrival
there to the three lane paved high
ways now in existence. Another
item of interest was the compari
son of his first cane-woven, mud-
plastered home to the modern
buildings now being constructed.
He spoke of African industriali
zation at* length and said that the
natives were not organized to re
sist the white man’s infiltration,
but they were strong in genius and
very courageous. Industrialization
must go hand in hand with Chris
tianity, Mr. Wharton said.
He displayed a tiger skin which
measured 83 inches from tip to
tip. Suspense held the audience
while he related that the tiger
was only 18 inches from the
muzzle of the rifle before it was
shot. Everyone was very much
relieved however, to know that
the tiger had been trapped pre
vious to the incident.
Reverend Wharton is a graduate
of Austin College in Sherman and
of the Austin Seminary in Austin.
After having spent approximately
15 years in Africa he returned to
the States for five years. Present
ly he is on furlough in the states
for two years. One of his greatest
accomplishments other than his
missionary work is the translation
of the Bible into the tongue of the
tribes in the Belgian Congo.

“Y” Bowling Alleys
To Be Renovated
By ART HOWARD
Although the bowling alleys in the “Y” are not in quite
as bad shape as the cartoon below indicates, they still could
stand some improvement. All of them have sloping beds,
worn approaches, and loose ball spots.
Alley number four is the worst^
of all, and no one bowls on it
unless the other three are full.
Consequently, pin setters are re
luctant to work on it because of
the spasmodic bowling. All of
which adds up to a loss of reve
nue for the YMCA.
However, this may all be
changed after the Easter holi
days if everything goes accord
ing to plan. Last Sunday Bill
Crogan, representative of Bruns
wick Bowling Products Co., ex
amined the alleys with M. L.
Special Staff To
Aid Publication
A special secretarial staff has
been added to the regular staff
of the Former Students Associa
tion in order to publish a complete
directory of former students, ac
cording to Dick Hervey, Class of
’42, executive secretary of the as
sociation.
This is.the first complete direc
tory to be scheduled since 1939. It
will be published by October and
sent free to all former students
who participate in the development
fund, Hervey said.
Members of the special staff in
clude Mesdames Harold Calhoun,
Albert Blankenship, Tommie John
son, and Emil Zikes.

Yes, but hell, he’s used to it.
Cashion and W. C. Hill with a
view towards reworking the
lanes.
The Brunswick representative es-^
timated that the first three lanes
could be put into top shape simply
by sanding and varnishing. The
“sloping fourth” would have to be
torn up and reglued, he said. Bu>
once it is finished, the fourth al
ley will be the best because it has
been used less than the other
three.
Grogan said that the A&M al
leys will be equal to almost any
in the' state because old alleys
have a better base and better wood
than new lanes.
As the alleys are expected to
become inoperative after the Me-
moral Student Center opens its
lanes in the fall of ’50, their pros*
pective life is only one and a half
years. However, Cashion estimates
that the increased revenue, plus
the improved atmosphere, will be
well worth any money expended^
Mr. Hill said that bowling has
increased 200 percent since the
Aggie Bowling team was organ
ized last February. The Inter-
Faith league and the high score
score card have also helped in
crease the circulation.
Absolute proof of the new-found
prosperity of the bowling alleys is
furnished by the night manager,
Mr. T. G. Gorbett, who is now
sporting a long cigarette holder.

...and all of them made possible through profits!
In the last eight years Interna
tional Harvester has increased the
number of its employes in the United
States from 60,000 to 90,000.
This means that 30,000 new jobs
have been created—good jobs at
good pay for junior executives, en
gineers, draftsmen, technicians,
among many others. And every one
of these jobs carries with it plenty
of chance for advancement.
This great progress in job-making
has been made possible by the prof
its which over the last 20 years the
company has plowed back into the
business. That is why we like to say
profits mean progress for every
one.
For example:
During the eight year period in
which our force was increased from
60,000 to 90,000 employes, the aver
age straight-time hourly earnings of
our non-salaried factory employes
have increased 92.6% per cent.
Customers have benefited from
the fact that our margin of profit on
sales today is two-fifths less than
in 1941.
And our stockholders have had a
fair return on the savings they have
invested in our company. Dividends
on common stock this year are
4.65% on the book value, as com
pared with 4% in 1941.
INTERNATIONAL
In 1948, the company had profits,
after taxes, of 4.7 cents from each
dollar of sales.
We know it is our continuing abil
ity to earn a reasonable profit that
has made it possible for Interna
tional Harvester in the past year to
serve more people—customers, em
ployes and stockholders—m greater
measure than ever before. Profits
mean progress for everyone.
We hope to be able to continue to
make a reasonable profit with each
succeeding year in the future-to
keep right on creating more and
more jobs at good pay for young
men entering industry, just as we
have done in the past.
