THE BATTALION
Pape 3
Light and Heavy Reading
In Current Issue of Engineer
By WILLIAM DICKENS
The all-purpose agriculture air
plane, “The Crop Duster,” is fea-
„ tured in the latest issue of the
Engineer, which rolled off the
press Wednesday.
The article, entitled “The Crop
, Duster,” written by Dick Tumlin-
son, senior areo engineer major,
gives a complete description of the
new plane and its purpose for be
ing designed.
’ The design of the plane was di
rected by Fred E. Weick, a dis
tinguished professor, research en
gineer, and a man well known in
"‘the light plane field. Weick, who
has gained recognition as the de
signer of the “Ercoupe,” has been
head of the Personal Aircraft Re
search Center at A&M since April,
1948.
Weick and his staff began
their project by obtaining sug
gestions from dust and spray
operators all over the country
for ideas on what requirements
a duster plane should meet.
A medium size plane was chosen
because it was apparent that fields
were too large for a single type
plane. It was also chosen so suc
cessful developments from the
plane could be incorpox'ated in
either larger or smaller planes.
As pointed out in the article,
the agricultural plane was built
for experimental purposes only,
but if a reputable firm wanted to
produce it, they would probably be
allowed to do so. The price of the
plane, if produced, would be about
the same amount as similar planes
-in the same category of weight
and engine.
Included in this issue of the
Engineer is the article, “Amaz

Barman.

made great strides and is one of

House Ups Funds
For Crime Fight
Austin, March 22—(A 1 )—More
money to fight against crime and
the Communists and for the tide-
lands was voted by the House yes
terday.
They gave the funds to the state
attorney general.
That added about $122,000 to
the $159,000,000 money bill the
House took up yesterday.
The House Appropriations Com
mittee figured it would take that
much to run the state for two
years. The Senate approved a
$169,000,000 bill recently, but it
included some items the House
measure doesn’t cover.
The House tacked on $50,000 a
year for the Attorney General to
use in continuing Texas’ fight to
keep the tidelands, which the sup
reme court has ruled belong to the
federal government.
“We’ve imposed on the attorney
general the responsibility of pros-
secuting the communist control
bill, and we’ll need his help on this
crime investigation,” said Rep.
Fred Meredith of Terrell.
Meridith and Rep. Waggoner
Carr of Lubbock led the fight for
more money.
The House accepted the figures
recommended by the House Ap
propriations Committee on the jud
iciary, junior college and state hos
pital and special schools operations
without change.
The Senate quit for the day at
noon.
La Prensa Editor
Held for Contempt
Buenos Aires, March 22—WP)—
Alberto Gainza Paz, editor and
publisher of the newspaper La
Prensa, was ordered jailed last
night for 15 days for contempt of
the Argentine congress.
Gainza Paz had accused the
congress of violating Argentina’s
constitution by ordering a joint
committee to seize control of the
newspaper, frequently critical of
President Juan D. Peron’s govern
ment.
La Prensa has been closed 55
days by boycotts of the pro-govern
ment News Vendors and Printers
Unions and, finally, by congression
al resolution.
After loyal employees of the
newspaper tried to reopen its
printing plant, Gainza Paz was
charged with violating the secur
ity of the state. The charge never
was explained and he never was
arrested.

From the article, “Imagineering

realize that which is economically
not feasible today may well be

Illustrating this point, the
article gives cases of the sep

Continuing in the past history
experiences of engineering, an
article by Gene Sparks, sophomore
C. E. major, entitled “Engineering

count of the Roman projects in en
gineering.
The article gives the life story
of Julius Frontenius, the first
city engineer, and relates his
struggle to build the city of
Rome, which providesi an inter
esting concept of engineering in
its earliest stages.

Alger Hiss Begins Five-Year Sentence wiring short course rt
New York, March 22—(A 5 )—Al
ger Hiss starts serving his five-
year prison sentence today.
The former State Department of
ficial convicted of perjury has ar
ranged to sun-ender, U. S. Attor
ney Irving S. Saypol said yester
day.
Hiss has been at liberty under
bail.
He lost a long legal battle to
avoid prison when the Supreme
Court recently declined to review
his condition.
Hiss was accused of lying in de
nying he passed State Department
documents to Whittaker Chambers
and in denying he had seen the con
fessed former Communist after
January, 1937.
Twenty-six farmers, teachers
and lineman were enrolled in a
Farmstead Wiring course held at
the Rita Blanca Electric Coopera
tive in Dalhart recently.
The course, conducted by W. W.
Kerlick, field instructor for the
Texas Engineering Extension Ser
vice, was based on the National
Electric Safety Code Requirements
for Farmstead Wiring.
Study Club Hears
New CS Resident
The Campus Study Club heard best of our ability, we gave them
Tuesday about the development of
a recreation program for a Texas
city from a person who knew what
she was talking about.
The speaker was Mrs. W. Arm
strong Price, 'who moved to Col
lege Station last fall from Corpus
Christi, where she had been large
ly responsible for that city win
ning sweepstake honors and first
prize in the Better Homes and
Gardens magazine “More Beautiful
American Competition.”
Mrs. Price, who organized and
was first president of the Civic
Beautification Association in Cor
pus Christi, told her audience that
civic beautification and recreation
go hand in hand.
All Parks Donated
She said the average citizen
knows very little about parks or
about the statutes and ordnances
set up to govern them. “All state
parks,” she said, “have been don
ated.” She added that all county
statutes allow five per cent assess
ment for parks, but that this
amount is rarely used.
It is hard for any department to
save money in a city government,
Mrs. Price said, for all that is
saved, even for a special project,
reverts to a general fund. This, she
said, is why cities usually depend
on bond issues for their parks and
other major city improvements.
In Corpus Christi, Mrs. Price
said, it was interesting to see what
a group of women could do when
they got behind a project.
Residents of various areas were
asked what they needed and want
ed in the way of neighborhood rec
reational facilities. “Then, to the
what they asked for.’
The aim of the Corpus Christi
program was to place every child
within a third of a mile of either
a school or a park playground.
Recreation buildings were fur
nished where all members of a
family could find entertainment,
Mr-s. Price said. Her committee
stressed facilities for hobbies.
Industry is realizing the need of
proper recreational facilities, Mrs.
Price added. Now before placing
factories, large establishments
check up to see what recreational
facilities are available. This, she
concluded, is making taxpayers
realize that recreation is worth
tax money and should be consid
ered as a part of the general wel
fare.

Not uncommon today in Mexico is the wayside
shrine. Here the weary traveler may kneel and say
a prayer. Here, too, the peasant and the peasant's
children have a constant reminder of the Faith by
which they live.
But there is a greater need than the Cross by the
side of the Road. Man needs a Road by the side of
the Cross.
For all the world the season of Lent is such a
road. It brings us face to face with spiritual realities
. . . with the divine love manifested in Jesus Christ
. . . with the human hatreds that nailed Him to a
Cross.
Yes, Lent is our Road by the side of the Cross.
The Church is beckoning each of us—weary wan
derers—to pause along the way of life ... to wor
ship the Christ who died for men ... to discover
anew the spiritual strength that has flowed through
the centuries from the Cross.
THE CHURCH FOR ALL . . .
ALL FOR THE CHURCH
The Church is the greatest fac
tor on earth for the building of
character and good citizenship. It
is a storehouse of spiritual values.
Without a strong Church, neither
democracy nor civilization can
survive. There are four sound
reasons why every person should
attend services regularly and sup
port the Church. They are: (i)
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 read your
Bible daily.
