I proudly claim the dis- iction of being one of three hu man J beings! within the corporate limits of College Station to have gazed upon the climax of Li’l Ab ner’s try for survival as a living, breathing bachelor. I won the honor fair and ire. All Batt employees were into the inner sanctum of the editor’s office.

Quietly they led the way to the vault, twisted the knob, and threw open the door. I stooped oyer. Then my senses almost, left mje. I knew! I knew the outcome! I was one of the chosen few.

Sowtf Chock or Atoooy Ordor HUB ISLAND PRODUCTS r Vorkuta, ixth Texas District, re cency tried a comparatively novel experiment for the leg islating field. Teague, deter mined to have some idea of what huH voters wanted, sent que$tionnaires to all persons registered on his poll tax list. Detailed answers from some 5,000 citizens of this district were received and compiled by percentage for and against pending and prospective laws. Ajthough far from being com pletely accurate, the percentages give art approximate picture of just! what the sixth district voters expect and want from their Fed eral goyerpment. Some oU the fig ures are surprising in their size and some ^prove to be startling in that they.exist at all. For instance, 11$ of those answering from the sixti district expressed a desire for lighcr personal income tax. O hetj answers reveal that Sl9% favor universal military training for yoqng men and 56% believe that our best chance of preserving word peace is through supporting the national defense program and givhg economic aid to foreign couutrifls. [ Tpe Federal farm program re ceived the majority approvut of those answering. The crop insur ance! ami price support farm struc ture whs favored by 77% of ! the district arid the soil conservation program by 84%. It the jieople of the sixth dis trict vtHv took time to ank^er Teague’s questionnaire hold views representative of the nation, so cialized plans are in for-a bad timri Government medical and den tal iservicC was opposed by 69%. Wh^n asked if they favored the government paying part of con- stnictioh hosts of houses for low- incqme people 47% said a firm no as opposed to the 43% who were for the idea and 10% who offered no opinion. However Fed- era aid to education was favored by 57%. Teague said that many of those answering in the affir- malivesi concerning aid to ediica- tior stipulated that they did not want any Federal control or in ter! erencej tied on to the appro- printed funds. Rent control measures were a- gre^d to by 47% who wanted con tinuation of these laws. However fool rhtidning and price controls appeared desirable to only fj%. , Yfheri ajsked how additional Fed eral expenditures should be finan ced with taxation-many suggestions weie given. 33% favored an in crease in the corporation tax rate, 33% akked for a re-institution of excess—profits taxes, 4% wanted a luxury tax, 4% a sales tax, 3% suggested a higher tax on natural resources and the conscientious 11%, 4 ie htioned before, thought thaft higher personal income taxes wo ild answer the need for funds.

This was during that paper’s greatness under the last of the three Samuel Bowles. Later he was called into AP service in New York to work for many years in a job that called for almost con tinual travel over the nation. Cap takes great pride in the fact that he helped to organize the AP sen ice in Texas and Okla homa. In 1940 he ended his service with the AP by retiring. His last full-time job was as as sociate extension editor for A&M. He held this position for five and a half years at th.e end of which time he assumed his present duties.
