Twenty-five acres of land in Lib erty county were given the station by the Quinn Trust for 10 years. The land will be used for experi ment purposes in connection with Substation No. 22 at Kirbyville, Dr. R. D. Lewis, director of the Experiment Station announced. ’ The American Cyahamid Com pany of New York has given the station $1,000 to be used in the control of cotton insects. The General Education Board has given $3,750, representing the sbeond half payment on a grqnt of $7,500 to the station toward the employment of Dr. Ralph T. Hol man of the Department of Bio chemistry and Nutrition. Dr. Hol man is conducting research on the properties and metabolism: of nat ural fats Und fatty acids, Dr. Lewis said. The Pre-Law Society will hold its regular semi-monthly meeting at 7:30 p.m., Monday, in the As sembly Room of the YMCA, Ben Lampkin, society president has an nounced. Most important business during the meeting will be the selection of a duchess to represent the Pre- Law Society at the Cotton Ball, Lampkin said. All members have been urged to bring either a single picture or several if possible of the girl whom they desire to nomi nate, Chuck Cabaniss of the so ciety's activities committee said. Additional old business will be considered at the session, including a decision on a spring inspection trip to a southwestern law school, the president reported. Think Of This “Not everyone that saith un- LASTDAY MONTGOMERY/ in i <•» I sry« to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom, but he that doeth the will of my Father." Matt. 7:21 In observing people as they go about their daily lives, it Is easy to prove the truth of the statement "You Ciin fool some of the people all or the time.” By reasoning we can also prove another equally true statement (you can't fool Christ any of the. time,). Thu Lord told a story of two men that went to the temple to pray. One of thorn put oh quite a show for the bene fit of the people that were looking lit him, hut was not sincerely talk ing to God, The other man merely cried to God us he hid himself In \shumc because of his sins, Jesus said that the one doing the "ahow- ing-off" had failed to find God; whereas, the other had been for given for his sins. Lets not fool ourselves by thinking that we can fool God. REVEILLE FOR LADY COP BLOOMINGTON, Ill-^-Mrs. Vernon Pease’s chief task as u po licewoman i| to keep the young folks on their good behavior.

S. Navy a» a Commander, King caid, was in charge of Navy laun dries in Memphis, Tennessee. { ' When Kingcaid came to A&M in 1946, the laundry was work ing both night and day shifts seven days a week amP giving Xsix to ten day service to the students. At present time, he has whittled away bottlenecks enough to put the laundry? on a five-day week, one shift per day basis giving Aggies one to three day service. If you can’t figure that out, ask a management en- ' gineer if that isn’t an increase in efficiency. \ ' . The biggest bottleneck found by Kingcaid when he came to the &M; laundry was the marking de partment. A high degree of labor turnover was present dije to the inherent odor and undesirability of the work. Speed was held up by the lack of organisation of laundry marks, station separation, apd the like. Kingcaid installed the differ ent colored laundry tickets and solved many of the problems. Also, each student was designated a laundry mark to keep as Jong as he attended A&M, thereby elimi nating different laundry marks each time the student moved to a different dormitory. Added to the laundry equipment to speed up a slow, pants depart ment were 21 new up-to-date air 4 driven pants pressers and two new stainless steel washing ,machines. Four new dry tumblers and a $4,- 000 no-truck extractor were also added to speed up the drying pro cesses. Thirty-five thousand doll- hin!'worth of new equipment has been added* to the laundry since W8 At It felWw who Slcotncs A: id inviitea and a.
