Newcomers Hear Music Program Mrs. Marvin Miller presented a program of musical selections to the Newcomers Club Wednesday afternoon in the YMCA. Her pro gram included “The Still, Small Voice,” “My Creed,” “Estrellita,” a Mexican serenade, “Carmena,” a waltz song and “The Kerry Dance,” an Irish rendition. Mrs. Miller was accompanied by Mrs. Byrl Beaty, who added to the program a piano solo, “Deep Pur ple.” Pearl Adams presented “Night On the Dunes,” a poem. The business session of the meet ing was presided over by Mrs. Clin ton Walker, secretary of the or ganization. Guests included Mrs. John Otts, Mrs. P. L. Thomas, D. L. Belcher, Mrs. G. E. Hedrick, Mrs. Lou Neu- bauer and Mrs. Phillip Seaver. At the social hour Mrs. Ben C. Cook poured coffee. The table was decorated with an arrangement of snapdragons, carnations, stock and daffodils forming the centerpiece and with yellow tapers in crystal holders. Lewis — (Continued from Page 1) furious controversy in 1920 over whether Gopher Prairie and its in habitants were typical. There was so much interest created that the book went through 11 printings in a few months and lifted the tall, lean and lanky author to fame. Then came “Babbitt.” Business men rose to denounce the compos ite image of themselves in the per son of George F. Babbitt, realtor of the small city of Zenith. On the basis of that novel, Lewis was awai’ded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1930, the first Amer ican to receive that award. It amounted that year to $46,350. While the Swedish Academy made it clear that the choice of Lewis was based on “Babbitt”, which was written 1922, apprecia tion was expressed also for “El mer Gantry” and “Dodsworth,” written in 1927 and 1929.

Study Club Hears ‘Faith’ Discussed Floyd (Continued from Page 5) the jump that opened the final period, the Cadets whittled the Bear margin to a slim one point and from that moment on dis played basketball prowess at its best. Knowing Capabilities It was just a matter of knowing their capabilities and being confi dent that they could turn in the finished product. A resurrection may well define the breathtaking rally that poured through the Aggie goal. The Cadets moved with the speed of a gazelle, seizing* the basketball from the de fenders, and hurling attack after- attack that seemed unrelenting throughout the closing minutes. Here was a team that had regained its confidence and that is all that is needed to win any ball game. In the words of Floyd, “The team making the fewest mis takes will win every time.” So Saturday night when the Cadets entertain coach Buster Brannon’s Horned Frogs, confi dence will be the factor. The Cadets are strong enough to take the Frog five that tallied 87 points against Rice Tuesday night, and with a display of mistake-erasing confi dence, a capacity throng in De- Ware Field House could see the home team continue undefeated in their long trek to the championship berth. Beat TCU “The greatest unused power in the world is the spirit of God,” Mrs. E. T. Pittard told members of the Campus Study Club in a meeting Tuesday afternoon. Mrs. Pittard, a church and. civic leader, of Anson spoke on “Faith In God As a Key to Happiness.” She was introduced by Mrs. Otis Miller. “Faith,” Mrs. Pittard said, “is a positive attitude. It has been called the bridge from, the known to the unknown. Its potency has been proved in the power of pray er, in the oper-ation of hospitals and in the lives of many great men. Faith gives men confidence, replac ing old feats with new loyalties.” In a business session, Mrs, J. 0. Culpepper read a letter from Mrs. Emmette Wallace inviting mem bers to the Institute of Federated Clubs, which is scheduled for the MSC on Jan. 31. Hostesses for the social hour were Mrs. R. A. Downward, Mrs. Harold Hornbeck and Mrs. Har old Sullivan. Garden Club Hears Milne Talk Friday The A&M Garden Club will hear C. G. Milne speak on “How to At tain Horticulture Perfection” when it meets Friday afternoon at 3 in the Assembly Room of the MSC. The speaker is assistant profes sor of floriculture at A&M. Members of the Garden Club who have plants to exchange should bring them -to the meeting, Mrs. xMarion Pugh, director of publicity for the club, said. Flaws in Steel Are Detected by X-ray H. P. Rigsby has just completed the installation of a 150 KV X-ray unit in the welding laboratory. This unit, property of the Texas Engineering Experiment Station, is available for instruction in indus trial radiology as a part of Me chanical Engineering 455 and for research. By its use, internal flaws may be detected in welded steel plates or castings up to two and one-half inches in thickness. Last summer this unit was used by Rigsby in the inspection of welded steel bridges for the Texas Highway Department. The March of Dimes helped pay the hospital bills for five of the six children and adults stricken with polio in Brazos County last year and six carry over cases from 1949 or earlier, it was announced today by H. T. Blackhurst, chair man of the local chapter of the National Foundation of Infantile Paralysis. “We hear about the March main ly in January when funds are be ing collected,” Blackhurst said, “however, dimes and dollars con tributed by the public are really on the march when polio is at its height.” “With the March of Dimes funds,” he said, “our Brazos Coun ty Chapter expended $3,333.53 on five new and six old cases as fol lows: 176 days hospitalization $1,080 Medical services 460 Drugs, medicines 249 Orthopedic appliances 51 Misc. (X-ray, oxygen) 349 Nurses 1,151 The total number of children and adults aided, Blackhurst said, in- Spindletop (Continued from Page 1) second test. Before his death in 1921, he saw the lessons of Spindle top lead to discovery of numerous other flush production oil fields. David Rockefeller said Lucas’ discovery facilitated some of the greatest strides in furthering hu man welfare. “It has made possible great ad vances in economic and industrial development,” he told a Rotary Club meeting. The greatest economic trump card in the straggle against Com munist imperialism, he said, is the supremacy the United States has in oil. “Petroleum products today are Vital to use in peacetime but in War time they are of critical im portance in determining which side will be the victor.” He warned that Korea has dem onstrated conclusively that pro ductive capacity and potential mili- tatry strength are inadequate to protect the nation from armed ag gression. “At least we are awakening to the realization that full economic and military preparedness are es sential to our survival.” He said. “It is still possible that with prompt rearmament and upswerv- ing pui-pose a third world war can be avoided. But the only alterna tive to all-out mobilization is ulti mate slavery and death.” Fish Lose--- (Continued from Page 5) Battalion CLASSIFIED ADS Page 6 THURSDAY, JANUARY 11, 1951 will engage the visiting teams fish quintet, which is under the direc tion of Brace Craig. Craig, the new Wog coach, is a two year letter man under Brannon and a June grad uate. TCU’s Wog team rotates around 6’ 6” pivotman Henry Ohlen, who saw duty with Paschal of Fort Worth last year. Other members of the team are J. D. Bliss, Arlington Heights; Ronnie McBee, North Side; Bird- ville’s Gorman Wiesman, Billy Roy Thomas, Lampasas; Ross Hoyt and Ken Tyler, Houston; Wally McNeil, Lamesa; and Ray Warren of San to. Don Dwyer and James Addison thus far have been the outstanding members of the Aggie fish team, although competent service has been rendered by such other play ers as Dave Williams, James Gal- lemore, Roy Martin, and Vol Mont gomery. Dwyer and Addison could be the deciding factor in the fish game results. Beal TCU SELL WITH A BATTALION CLASSIFIED AD. Rates ... 3c a word per insertion witn a 25c minimum.

Months—and sometimes years—after the polio headlines have vanished we still are provid ing treatment for victims of this crippling disease. “With the rising tide of polio in the last three years this problem of carry-over care is becoming pro gressively acute from a financial standpoint. “Acute or not, however,” the chairman stated, “these patients must receive treatment and it is our job to see that they do. I know that residents of Brazos County will see this problem in the same human terms when the March of Dimes taps gently on the door way to their hearts,” he conclud ed.

Acheson ToTalk Policy Washington, Jan. 11—•A > )—Sec retary of State Acheson said yes terday he is always ready to dis cuss American foreign policies with Republicans but has no plans for calling in Senator Taft of Ohio. The administration, he noted, al ready consults the minority party through Republican members of the Senate Foreign Relations com mittee. Acheson was questioned about Taft’s offer yesterday to “sit down with the President or anybody else” in the administration to work out bi-partisan foreign policy. Taft made the offer in a speech at the National Press Club in which he charged the administra tion with giving Congress only a yes-or-no choice in major foreign policy decisions. Informed that Acheson had said he always stands ready to talk with Republicans, Taft remarked brusquely: “I’m glad to know it.” He was asked whether his speech yesterday indicated a willingness or eagerness to talk over foreign policy. “I’m not eager,” he replied. “That’s up to them.” Acheson rejected Taft’s idea that, in formulating military policy, the United States must write off the United Nations as a mere “debat ing society.” Acheson conceded that a U. N. failure to solve the Korean crisis would diminish its prestige and power, but said it would be an overstatement to con tend that survival of the interna tional organization depends on achieving a settlement. The Secretary said that in con sulting members of the Senate For eign Committee the administration was following accepted and offi cial procedures. Taft, chairman of the Senate Republican Policy Com mittee, is not a member of the foreign cdVnmittee. “SUPER VALUE” SPECIALS Friday and Saturday Only JAN. mh & 13th We Reserve the Right to Limit (Quantities American Maid Dixie Colored Bright & Early FT A III) A I F A r a r r v i; I L U L H U L L U t U111 h 5 Lb, Bag 3 He 14 Lb.
