Stout Former Student Now Missionary The Board of World Missions of the Presbyterian Church, U. S., has announced the appointment of Mr. and Mrs, John N. Stout as educa tional missionaries to its East Bra zil Mission. Stout is a native of Fort Worth and was graduated from A&M in 1947 with a B. S. degree. He served six years as an officer in the U. S. Army, taking a special course of study at Austin Theological Seminary last year. Mrs. Stout graduated from a girl’s preparatory school in Chat tanooga, Tenn. and received a BA degree in 1946 from Texas State College for Women. The Stouts attended the Mission ary Institute at Montreat, N. C., where they were commissioned to foreign service on August 9,1950. They sailed from New York on September 21, 1950 for Brazil, and will be studying the language for the next several months. Cadet Draft Status Explained (Continued from Page 1) ious reasons are frequently subjected to misinterpretation and misquotation. Cadets are again urged to lie wary of rumors or oral statements concerning the current Selective Service law. They are especially cautioned against making de cisions to terminate their college and cadet training at this time in order to enter the military service. Mobilization of personnel for a World War is a long pro cess and requires many, many months. Cadets should not delude themselves into the belief that they are doing more for their country by entering the service now as a private than would be done by remaining here in the Corps of Cadets and continuing the military training for which the govern ment has already provided facilities and personnel to train them as officers in the Army or Air Force. It is still my belief that any cadet whose academic pro gress is satisfactory to his Dean and himself will best serve the interests of his country by remaining in school so as to become a commissioned officer and obtain, at the same time, a college degree. S. R. Gammon III Engagement Told Miss Mary Scott Renwick of New York City and Wayne, Penn sylvania, and Capt. Samuel Rhea Gammon, III, graduate of A&M will be married in the Spring, ac cording to a recent announcement by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John S. Renwick. Captain Gammon’s parents are Dr. and Mrs. S. R. Gammon. Dr. Gammon heads the A&M History Department. Capt. Gammon was commissioned a second lieutenant in 1943. He served in World War II, and grad uated from A&M in 1946. He holds a master’s degree from Princeton and did research in England on a Rotary Foundation Fellowship. He was teaching history at Princeton and writing his doctoral disserta tion when he was recalled to duty. Miss Renwick is an alumna of Baldwin School, Bryn Mawr, and Wheaton College.

S'- The brilliant evening star is a symbol of many things to many folk. Mariners hail it as a good omen, for it usually forecasts a clear, calm night and smooth sailing. The shepherd tending his flocks on a desolate hillside gratefully notes its appearance in the heavens, for its friendly light offers an intangible sort of companionship during his lonely vigil. To many, the star is rep resentative of God’s infinite power and wisdom. Just as this.star touches hearts in countless different ways, so may the Church bring to those in all walks of life peace and comfort which lead to a happier, more fruitful pattern of life. Let us make the Church our guiding light. We can brighten our lives if we accept the teaching of the Scriptures as guideposts along the pathway to future endeavors. THE CHURCH FOR ALL ... ALL FOR THE CHURCH The Church Is the greatest fac tor on earlh for ihe building of character and good citizenship. It is a storehouse of spiritual values. Without a strong Church, neither democracy nor civilization can survive. There ore four sound reasons why every person should attend services regularly and sup port the Church. They are: (1) For his own sake. (2) For his children's sake. (3) For the sake of his community and nation. (4) For the sake of the Church itself, which needs his moral and ma terial support. Plan to go to church regularly and redd your Bible daily. Book Chapter Verier Sunday. ...Ephesians $ 6-14 Monday. ..II Peter :J 16-21 Tuesday.. Revelation 7 9.17 Wednesd’yProverbs 6 20-23 Thursday.
