Twenty-Five Acres Pre-Law Group To
Made Available To Meet in Y .Tonight
A&M for 10 Years
A grant of 25 acres of land and
two financial gifts, have been made
to the Texas Agricultural Experi
ment Station at A&M.
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.

to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter

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.

Practically born in a laundry. V*™,- Although Ithe
Kingcaid, is one of three brothers or pieces of laundry
who grew up working in his fath- 8 million, almost thfbe ntlqi
cr’s laundry business, the Home pieces have already gofye thwji

A'',™ r * * re "H 1 to U “ Kingcaid agree, that gri

During a two-year stay In the though it is possible tfegt
U. 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
