Red Cross Begins
Fund Raising Drive
By ALLEN PENGELLY
Ass’t City Editor
The American Red Cross’ annual
fund raising campaign began yes
terday in College Station with
three organized groups backing the
local drive.
Heading the first group is Mrs.
Fred E. Smith, chairman of the
business district committee. Mrs.
Smith and her committee are con
tacting the College Station busi
nessmen in an effort to reach the
gtjal of $1800.
On the business district commit
tee are Marion Pugh, L. E. Mc
Call, Louis Maes, Henry A. Miller,
Charles Smith, S. A. “Doc” Lips
comb, and Ran Boswell.
The residential district commit
tee is headed by Mrs. Spencer J.
Buchanan, whose goal is to collect
$800 during the drive.
Mrs. Buchanan is assisted in her
duties by Mrs. J. P. Abbott, Mrs.
Art Adamson, Mrs. Orin Helvy,
Mrs. Paul Andrews, Mrs. Garland
Brown, Mrs. Robert Fletcher, and
Mrs. Robert Wilson.
No Solicitations
Although no solicitations will be
made on the campus, W. L. Pen-
berthy, dean of men, is in charge
of the Red Cross donations on the
campus. Contributions by the stu
dents will be handled through the
first sergeants or their representa
tives in the corps area and by the
down masters in the non-corps
area.
Said Dean Penberthy, “Placing
a representative in each dorm is
merely for the convenience of the
student who wishes to contribute to
the Red Cross. There will be no
organized solicitation within the
dorm, although representatives will
have the equipment necessary to
handle student donations.”
Faculty members who want to
contribute may send their dona
tions to the Brazos County Chap
ter of the American Red Cross in
Bryan.
„ Funds Through Drive
The Red Cross receives its op
erating funds only through the
yearly drive during March. The
Red Cross receives no subsidy from
the U. S. Government although on
request of the government, the
Red Cross will help to distribute
relief supplies purchased by the
government.
Approximately one million col
lege and university students across
the nation are active members of
the Red Cross. These students,
working through the local civil de
fense director, recruit teacher-
trainers for first-aid courses; re
cruit blood donors for the “Blood-
Mobile,” a portable unit that visits
communities collecting blood for
the blood bank; and entertain in
the Veteran’s Hospitals across the
nation.
’A total of 399,935 certificates
were awarded to policemen, fire-
Dr. Gilbreth Slates
Talk to Graduates
Dr. Lillian M. Gilbreth, president
of Gilbreth Inc., Consulting En
gineers in Management, Montclair,
N. J., will speak to the graduate
students and faculty in the lecture
room of the new Biological Sciences
Building, 8 p. m. Friday, March 2,
Dr. Ide P. Trotter, dean of Grad
uate School said today.
Dr. Gilbreth is a world recog
nized authority in Engineering
Management and a very unusual
and most successful business wo
man. She is the author of many
books and papers on Management,
including "The Homemaker and
Her Job,” “Time Study,” “Applied
Motion Study” and other too num-
mms to mention, Dr. Trotter said.
@n the lighter side she is the
mother of the family about which
two of her children wrote most in
terestingly and successfully in the
popular books “Cheaper by the
Dozen” and “Bells on Their Toes,”
the first of which was made into
a feature movie recently, the dean
concluded.
Lutheran Students
Observe Ashram
The annual Ashram of the gulf
region, Lutheran Students o f
America, will be held March 9, 10,
11, at the Lost Pines of Texas near
Bastrop.
The Rev. Paul Bierstedt, Central
Regional Secretary of the National
Lutheran Council, Division of Stu
dent Service, will be the guest
speaker at the gathering.
The theme of the Ashram is
“God’s Call—Our Challenge.”
Werner Lindig, local LSA presi
dent, urges all members to send
in their reservations at once if they
plan to attend the camp.
men; federal, state, and city gov
ernment employees; industries;
civic clubs; sportsmen; members
of the armed forces both here and
abroad; businessmen and women;
housewives; and students.
Need of First Aiders
The need for qualified first-aid
ers is important because each year,
near-ly 100,000 people die and 10
million are injured because of acci
dents. It is at the scene of acci
dent that the first-aider is of the
most use because he will be able
to care for the patient until the
doctor arrives.
The 1951 fund goal is higher
because of existing plans for the
expansion of our services for the
armed forces and also because of
the new civil defense programs be
ing inaugurated throughout the na
tion.
The local fund raising drive ends
on March 31 with the Brazos Coun
ty goal approximately $12,631. The
College Station fund goal is $2600
plus the contributions donated by
students of the college and faculty
members. *! !fl!H

High School Plays in Review
By FRANK DAVIS
Battalion Staff Writer
A butterfly collector who grows
orchids, and a maid who runs
through the audience screaming
“ghosts” were parts of the A&M
Consolidated senior plays present
ed last night before a crowd of
250.
In “Junior Prom,” the first of
two one-act plays, Helen, t played
by Dorothy Spriggs, decides to
“fight fire with fire;” she con
spires with her friend Joan, play
ed by by Mary Frances Bond to
get Peg, Liz Miller, a date with
Ted, Dick Weiek, who is the girl-
shy-intellectual type.
Determined to make the date
a success, Peg with the help of
her two friends, makes a list of
the do’s and don’ts for the night
unaware Ted, equally minded has
also made a list.
The time for the Prom arrives
and Ted, when he calls, accidently
finds Peg’s list of do’s and don’ts.
After a tense moment Ted de
cides to reveal his secret to Peg.
Meanwhile the girls, Peg, Helen
and Joan enters, as do Kenny (Jack
Burchard) and Fred (Eddie Ray
Guthrie), Helen and Joan’s dates.
Just before the curtain falls, Ted
and Peg, alone for a brief moment,
tear up their lists of do’s and
don’ts, determined to make this
night one to remember. Peg, the
only one of the three girls to re
ceive a corsage, wears an orchid
which Ted has grown himself.
A stormy March night, ghosts
and murder all find their places in
the second play, “Ghost Farm.”
The scene is the living room of
Ghost Farm, situated on the
outskirts of a swamp in a river
valley near the Ozarks.
Belle Winthrop, played by Helene
Boatner, a possessive woman who
owns Ghost Farm, has picked to
night to visit her property in an
attempt to dispel the current ru
mors that the place is haunted.
Surrounded by her staff, Belle
Winthrop arrives at Ghost Farm
via a path through the audience.
The staff includes her nephew,
Beaumont Winthrop; her maid,
Lovetta Wattles, played by Doro
thy Bates; her secretary Violet
Ashe, played by Reba McDermott;
and her lawyer Leslie McAndrews,
played by Cedie Wells.
The Grubbs, acted by Roland
Jones and Marie Cobb, are going
to be forced to leave Ghost Farm,
just as soon as Belle can catch
them trying to scare people. The
last character in the intrigue is
Nance O’Malley, Grubbs’ Irish hir
ed girl, played by Ann Southern.
To make a long story short,

Everyone enjoys a good story—
children, young people, adults —
there are no exceptions. The better
the story is told, the more thrilling
the action, the more appealing the
characters, so much greater is the
enjoyment. And if the story is true,
then new lustre is added.
Parents are continually looking
for stories to tell their children. And
wise parents look for stories that
also teach everlasting truths about
life, and how it can best be lived.
The stories in the Bible are the
cherished stories of generations
They are told by masters in the art
of story telling Their characters are
interesting, their plots exciting. They
are stories of real people, contain
ing timeless truths.
You and your children will find
these stories unique, wholesome
and thrilling. You and your children
can look forward to many happy
evenings, as you discover together
the eternal appeal ol the Bible
stories.

ALL FOR THE CHURCH
The Church is the greatest factor on earth for the
building of character and good citizenship. It is a store
house of spiritual values. Without a strong Church,
neither democracy nor civilization can survive. There
are four sound reasons why every person should attend
service regularly and support the Church. They are:
(1) For his own sake. (2J 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 material
