Hope Hits Humor Jackpot
With Kyle Field Fun Fest
BY DAVE COSLETT
That man With a joke-book for
brain did it again.
That man, of course, was Bob
Hope who twisted an old adage
about in Kyle Field last night to
prove that where there’s Hope,
there’s life. That there was life
was fully evident from the roars
of approval that thundered from
the jammed stands.
The ovations, though, were not
all for Hope. Doris Day, display-
Cabell Speaks
To Dairymen
Ben Cabell, representative of Ca
bell Milk Co. of Dallas, spoke to
the members of the Kroam and
Kow Klub at their regular meeting
Tuesday night on the field of
dairying In Texas,
He stated that more changes
have taken place In the dairy In
dustry in Texas in the last five
years than in the prior 15 or 20
years. Cabell predicted that many
more changes will take place in
the next few years,
“The dairy Industry in Texas Is
at thi crimsroadai It must decide
whether to (tombine and coordinate
Its resource^ In Texas or to let
other dairy states sell their pro
ducts for Texas consumption. Tex
as consumers must be served pro
perly; they are demanding pro
ducts equal to those in other states
at prices that are reasonable. Noth
ing can be done to keep consumers
from getting what they want,”
Cabell said.
“The time has come for Texas
dairymen to quit patting them
selves on the back about their great
advantages. They must spend more
time seeking out disadvantages and
improving dairying to equal other
states. Texas led all other states
in number of Jersey cattle regis
tered in 1947, but ranked eleventh
in amount of milk produced.” <
“Texas is the greatest dairy
country in the nation, but Texans
must understand what they’re pro
ducing milk for,” Cabell concluded.
ing a personality equaled only by
her voice, almost waltzed off with
the heart of every Aggie in the
stands as well? as the show.
Starting things off with a fer-
vant plea for stay of precipita
tion, the Hollywood bloom-buster
launched into a barrage of quips
and quickies that kept the aud
ience in his palm for a full two and
a half hours. ?
Using everything from a har-
rassed photographer to one of the
local canines as targets for his
wit, Hope combined facial con
tortions, footwork and a glib
tongue to achieve his purpose.
Miss Day responded to encore
after encore with a repertoire in
clude “It’s Magic,” "Sentimental
Journey,” and "Pretty Baby,”
She and Hope combined talents
for a welhreceived presentation
of “Love Somebody."
Bob, Incidentally, had troub
le getting back on the stage
that Ihirta had been ably occu
pying for about twenty min
utes, . Hope responded to sev
eral pleas to leave the stage
With, "You’d think I was from
Austin or something,"

Dillavou Says Help
Needed |or Follies
George Dillavou, director of the
Aggie Follies of 1949, needs play
ers and backstay help for the
Follies. He wants actors, stage
managers, scenery builders, make
up men, singers, and dancers.
Anyone interested in participat
ing in the Follies is asked to meet
in the Assembly Hall at 7 p. m.
Friday. No special talent is needed
to qualify for a part in the Follies
Dillavou added.
Billy Farrell brought a voice
from his socks to croon several fa
vorites in a well-accepted manner
and Hy Averback assisted Hope
in the humor department between
gufaws at his boss’ ad-lib antics.
A tumbling duo named The Ti
tans came through in grand Style
with a display of brawn and bal
ance that had the stands gasping
in disbelief.
Pleasant surprise of the night
came in the form of a vocal
rendition from one of the local
models for the style show, Mrs.
R. W. Butler. Singing only after
unrelenting coaxing from both
Hope and the audience, Mrs.
Butler presented “Blues In the
Night,” in a manner that easily
equaled the standards of the rest
of Jhe show. She was modeling
u gown and hat from Beverley
Braley Women’s Store in Bry
an.
Other models In the xtyle show
were Mrs, W, M. Turner and Misa
Dorothy Clary for W.S.D, Cloth-
Ura, Mrs. Paul McDaniel and MInx
Nan Fuxaell for The Collegiate
Shoppe, Mra, Trnvl* Bryan, Jr. for

Miss Elliot received n prtoe for

- Hope and his troupe arrived a-
board their chartered DC6 Main-
liner, "Bob Hope", at 7 p.m. at
Easterwood airport. They left
this morning for Shreveport, La.,
where they have smother show
scheduled this afternoon.
Last night’s show was a part of
the comedian’s trans-continental

campuses scheduled for the trip.
ments. Containing it largo amount
ly hydro
gen sulfide, the wntcr could not ba
used In college boilers or Inundry.
"Everyone agreed that it tasted
pretty bad," Spence snld.
“But tho water presently furn
ished to the college Is very pure
and contains only a small amount
of minerals.’’
The water supply in Bryan last
year was serious. Dry weather
caused the sprinkling of lawns to
be prohibited by a city ordinance
for a short period of time. At the
present time Bryan lacks a suffi
cient supply for any major size
industry. \-
Bryan’s jtewly elected Mayor
Roland Dansby said that he is
not prepared to judge the city’s
water situation with A&M out
of the picture. * *
“All our planning has been with
the college requirements in mind,’’
he said.
Dansby pointed out that with
A&M furnishing its own water,
Bryan has enough for its “imme
diate needs.” He assorted that al
though a conservative program will
be resorted to again this summer
while waiting for the college’s
water supply next year, one im
mediate relief for Bryan will bev
the curtailing of plans to build a
twelve-thousand dollar booster sta
tion between Bryan and the cam
pus.
Another interesting factor in
the A&M-Bryan water negotiations
is the question of who will supply
College Station once the college
system is in production. Bryan's
contract with College Station ex
pires May 7, 1950, shortly after
the A&M contract ends, At the
present time, College Station’s
North and East Gate areas are
furnished water by the Bryan ayo-
tern. The area south of the campus
is served from the college storage
facilities. j
