A. LONG Dir. Student Loans CS, Bryan Win Milk Award For Purity, Hygien Dr. David E. Brown, direct or of the Brazos County Health Unit, reported that for the second year in succession, College Station and Bryan have been named to the United States Public Health Services’ milk honor roll. “The Service has not released the actual score of the two cities,” Brown said, “but I’m confident the rating will closely parallel the rat ing achieved last year.” In 1949, the two cities compiled a score of 99. A score of 90 is the minimum required to obtain an honor rating. Across the nation 160 cities were able to comply with the rules set up by the Health Service. Of this number, 28 were Texas towns. Other cities attainging the honor roll rating were Houston, Fort Worth, San Antonio, Bay City, Brenham, Brownsville, Corsicana, Edinburg, Galveston, Gladewater, Harlingen, Jacksonville, Kilgore, Laredo, Longview, Lubbock, Mis sion, Palestine, Paris, Pharr, San Juan, Sweetwater, Texarkana, Tex as City, Tyler, and Weslaco. Taken into consideration in the judging of the milk, the Service notes the bacterial count of the milk pasteurized, the local water supply, plant construction, and methods for cleaning milk-handling equipment, Dr. Brown said. These surveys are carried out by the State Public Health Depart ment with aid coming from the county units. After the county re ports are turned in to the state of fice, they are then forwarded to the Public Health Service which compiles the honor roll.

Talent Group To Audition New Talents “We need talent: impersonators, singers, instrumentalists, dancers, and piano players, both boogie and classical,” said Miss Betty Bolander, assistant social director of the MSC. The Red Cross has asked that A&M entertainers give a show for veterans at the hospital in Temple. This is one of the many activities planned by the new Talent Bureau which is sponsored by the MSC dance, publicity, and music com mittees. Miss Bolander stated that we have some very fine performers, but not enough. Impersonaters, tap dancers, and piano players. The Talent Bureau provides student entertainers for the numerous meetings and conventions held at the Student Center and for other shows such as the proposed trip to Temple. The Bureau offers students a chance to serve the school and to gain experience and contacts. Students who are interested in auditioning should see Miss Bo lander in the front office of the MSC. Regular auditions are held from 5 until 6 p. m. on Wednesdays. If desired, special arrangements can be made for other hours and an accompanist will be provided.

As he explained, this rise in the number of cases occurs each time a generatiion which has not pre viously had contact with the dis ease is exposed to the carriers of ■ chickenpox. There is nothing to he alarmed over since this rise is just what vve have expected, Dr. Brown add.- ed. Influenza Increases An increase in the number of in fluenza cases has also been re ported. The week ending Feb. 17 had 114 cases while the week end ing Feb. 24 had 141 cases. However the number of pneu monia cases has fallen in the past week. There were 20 cases re ported in the week ending Feb. 17. This time of year always has the highest number of pneumonia cases, so this rather large number is nothing irregular, said Dr. Brown. In a report released by t]>e Tex as State Department of Health, George W. Cox, State Health Offi-* cer, asks the following cautions be taken to prevent the spreading of influenza and pneumonia: Keep up bodily resistance by . eating well balanced meals and getting regular and adequate sleep; practice cleanliness, avoid using cups, glasses, dishes, or towels that have been used by anyone else, including family members.
