These farmers are repre sentatives of each of the major , farming areas in the state. The .questionnaires are sent out to find the trends in Texas farm population. Following World War II, the number of persons living on farms in Texas and the Uni ted States showed a sharp decline. Farmers receivihg_ these question naires will be asked to comment on nature and causes of farm pop ulation shifts. Fh-om the data thus provided the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station, in cooperation with the United States Department of Ag n riculture ahd Bureau of AgricuL tural Economics, will be able* to make u thorough rcpqrt on the subject.

Subjects to be covered at the five technical sessions include the use of night air for cooling f heat pump performance, panel heating and cooling, condensation on iwalls, and effective temperature studies and baseboard radiation perform ance. Headquarters will be the Adolphus and the Baker Hotels. The Southwest Air Conditioning Exposition will be held simultan eously with the ASHVE meeting and will be housed in the Hall of Agriculture and the Poultry Build ing at Fair Park. Over 200 riianu- facturers of heating, air condition ing, and ventilating equipment have been allotted all available space in the two buildings. Mejetings of the ASHVE Council and the Committee on Research Will be held Sunday, Jan. 22, and the first technical session will be opened the following day by Alfred E. Stacey, president of the society. The ASHVE, founded in 1894, is the only professional engineering organization in the U.S. that main tains and operates its own re search laboratory with a full-time director and staff of research en gineers. The society now numbers 7,686 members. Dr. Umphrey Lee, president of SMU, will speak at the annual banquet Wednesday evening. Jan. 25. K. C. Richmond, editor of “Coal Heat," will address a lunch eon meeting Tuesday. The North Texas Chapter of the society will, be host for the meeting. Several technical papers are to be delivered at the meeting. The speakers include professors from several schools and technical rep resentatives of various manufac turers. Wednesday afternoon a report will be given on panel heating re search covering experimental tech niques and results «of heat flow within a concrete panel and heat flow analysis for buried pipes. Phillips Donates Ammonium Sulfate A ton of ammonium sulfate has been provided the Depart ment of Agronomy, Dr. R. D. Lewis, director, Texas Agricultural Experiment Station, announced to day. The ammonium sulfate will be used in connection with the turf research program; Dr. Lewis said. The donor was the Phillips Chemi cal Company of Battlesville, Ok lahoma. r Extension Honored | 'I, ' r _ j - ' ; ! ' Service Worker n Farm Magazine W, L. Ulich, A&M graduate and agricultural engineer with the A&M Extension Service, appears in the Hall of Fame section of the Deceriiber issue of {the-Farm and Ranch magazine. > Covering half a; page in the magazine, the article tells of Ulich’s accomplishments in 4-H work. His success jstory began in Lyons, Texas, in 19)33. It was then that Willie, as hej is more well- known, started his 4-H career.' As this Burleson County com munity had no 4|H chapter at the time. It was up to Willie to interest the new ebunty, agent in starting a- local group. As the chapter] progressed so did Ulich with hik many under takings. By 1937 V’il|ie took over the leadership of tie Lyons chap ter, and, aside from increasing his project list to include dairy calf, v- ■ b»|ef calf, and poultry, he some how found time to win the out standing 4-H boy County Award and attend the National 4-H Con- gjess iri \ Chicago. Ulich’s crowning achievement came in 1939, with projects in dairy cattle, beef, cattle, swine, poultry,; cotton and corn. His pro fits from these projects netted h m $4350.82 with an additional $$00 iganered from prize money. But that wasn’t sU! In 1939 Willie won the National 4-H eadertihip award and with it an- rther trip to the National 4-H Club Congress, s large silver trophy, and a $500 scholarship to stay college of his choice. This Texas boy was selected over 630,000 other boys as the cham pion 4-H club boy of the nation. Next Willie received a B. ^de gree in agricultural engin^fring from A&M and found himself a wife (a former 4-H club giri, naturally). Uncle Sam took care of the following three years of Ulich’s 1 life as sn officer-pilot flying four-motored bombers over the “homp” from India to Chins. He picked up some more laurels there in the form of the Air Medal add the Distinguished Flying Cross with clusters. He then got his M S degree from A&M and is now with the Texas A&M College Extension Service. Willie Ulich’s future can best be summed up in an excerpt from the Farm and Ranch article. “Ulich is an agricultural engin eer with a good farm background who is well qualified to do an out standing job in the field* of farm machinery, soil conservation, Ir rigation and rural electrification."

A&M Drops Three Arizona University picked up* its fifty-fifth consecutive victory at home December 27 when it defeated Catholics Plan Student Center Construction Ground-breaking ceremon ies of the new religious center for Catholic students are ten tatively plannjed for April 19. The new center will replace cramped facilities of St. Mary’s Chapel. Present plans call for three build, ings including a chapel, rectory, and recreation and religious edu cation center, according to an an nouncement by the building com mittee headed by Professor C. A. Bonnen, Lt. Col. Walter H. Par sons, Jr., and Father Tim Valenta. When the rectory is completed, Rale' Austin Catholic! Diocese, hak pro. Bishop Louis J. icher of the ks mised A&M students and faculty a full-time Chaplain for the first time in the school’s history. For many years, St. Mary’s Chapel has been operated as a mission of St. Joseph’s pqrish in Bryan. While less than 300 can be crowded into the present building for one service, the plans call for the new chapel to accomodate at least 500. . - Combined efforts of the stud ents, alumni, and present members of the congregation have already raised over $80,000 to initiate the building program. An intensive ac celeration of the fund-raising cam paign in the next three months is expected to produce the necessary revenue by the April ground breaking date. Architectural contracts will be let sometime in January, and the building contracts soon thereafter, according to Bonnen.

Holicks Lose Store In Monday Fire The house and store of Mrs. James Holick iof College Station were a complete loss in a blaze that swept the structure early Monday morning, December 26. The .fire department answered the call at 3:30 a. m., but the fire had a headstart and was aided by a wind which hampered the fire fighters. The combination house and store was located across from A&M Con solidated High School. The only occupants of the house were Mrs. Holick and her daughter. Mrs. Holick ran to a neighbors house to notify the fire department. The only thing saved was a small piece of| furniture. No cloth ing was saved! except what the two wore. The fire alarm was the first since the appointment of 14 special officers appointed by the city council to police fire areas. Four of the fourteen were on the scene and kept the streets clear for the firemen and saw that proper order was maintainjed. iver Lunch olo.— — Busy flat-tail- Eager Durango, beavers—the four-legged ed kind—gave Mrs. Wallace Lom bard a lift a for her bridge party.
