THURsSDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1950
The contents of the letter we’ll
disregard, since they’re unknown
to us.
But the address is an entirely
different matter. The postman had
these directions to go on:
The Agricultural & Military School,
DENTON, Texas
U S A
Accdvding to the envelope, the'
letter originated in “Colon, Rep.
of Panama.” A pencil correction
by the Denton post-master sent
Mil’ letter on the final leg of its
Lip here.
We ll admit that it’s not too out
of the ordinary to hear A&M mis
takenly interpreted as,Athletic and
Military. But this is the first time
we’ve seen Agriculture & Military, j
Perhaps the writer has a grudge |
against Dean Barlow. Or perhaps !
bo's unhappy with engineering in
in general.
Be that as it may, why was the
letter addressed to Denton?
One explanation might be that
the fame of Aggie-Tessie tradition
al relations has spread to distant
lands. Arid perhaps the names of
the schools were so closely associat
ed that the writer wasn’t quite sure
which was where.
Then again, the writer might
have figured that he could find
as many Aggies up there as he
could here.
What ever the reason, you’ve got
to give the correspondent credit.
He could have been a lot farther
from the truth.

Mark W. Clark indicated some Na

service may be released in seven

Clark, commander of the Army
Field Forces, mentioned no time
table in an address to the National
Guard Association but said guard
units will not be held beyond their
training period providing no inter
national emergency arises.
He went on to say an intensive
program of training for them will
begin early in November and in all
probability will take about 28
weeks. After that, he said, exten
sive maneuvers will be held., ;
The government has called four
