Page 6 THE BATTALION Thursday, April 26, 1951 The table above is a part of the MSC glass display: now on view in the Social Room. It features Syracuse China, International Sterling- Crystal by Imperial, Cambridge, Helsey and West Vir ginia. • Unique Glass Show Exhibited at MSC Present and future homemakers ■will be interested in a display now on show in the Memorial Student Center, living room of Texas A&M College. The display is of Ameri can made glass. It is the second such show college sponsored in the USA, and it will vie with dis plays in large department stores throughout Texas both in content and arrangement. Purpose of the display, which is arranged in the MSC Social Room, is to show that American hand made glass is equal, and some times superior, to that of English make. Open Through Sunday The display will be open through Sunday. MSC officials said that it- is open, without charge, to any one who wishes to view it. The arrangement, including all kinds and types of American made glass, will be of especial interest to young homemakers who are planning their permanent homes. Companies showing glass include Anchor-Hocking, Cambridge, Im perial, Duncan, Blenko, Fostorio, Heisey, West Virginia and Wil liamsburg. Absent from the group is a display by Steuben. When MSC officials contacted the Steu ben people asking for the display, they were told that their exhibit already had been promised for this time to a glass exhibit in, Paris, France, and that no other exhibit was available. Joske’s of Houston furnished the dining room suite and tables for display purposes. One of the fo cal points of interest is a suite of Duncan Phyfe, laid with a linen and lace cut work cloth, also furnished by Joskes and set with the MSC’s Syracuse china and International- Sterling. Another piece of outstanding in terest is a punch bowl made by the West Virginia Co. This bowl is set up on a large stem, which is hollow. Into this hollow goes the sherbet or dry ice. The manu facturer says that when ginger ale or champagne is placed in the bowl, the sherbet or ice bubbles up through the liquid creating a pret- try, sparkling effect. One table is arranged with milk glass. A buffet shows an arrange ment of cut glass. Several dis plays of colored glass of various kinds are shown. Included are glasses, bowls, can delabra, ashtrays, figurines and dishes for every purpose. There are punch bowls and cigarette boxes, cocktail glasses and salad bowls, ice tea sets and brandy snifters. There is a display show ing the steps necessary in making a fine-grade glass. Opens at 10 a.m. The display, which opens at 10 a.m. each moi-ning, has someone in attendance at all times to an swer questions and show the pieces. None of the glass in this dis play is for sale, but viewers can, by seeing the show, get an idea what they want in their own homes and then order the pieces from re tail stores. The display was obtained by the MSC through the effort* of Den- son-Frey & Affiliates, publicity and public relations people, New York. The only other college to use such a show was the University of Omaha, which last year had the same exhibit. USE BATTAEION CLASSIFIED ADS TO BUY/ SELL, KENT OR TRADE.

A&M PHOTO SHOP Retailers Must File Prices Before May 30 Retailers of thousands of items commonly sold in wearing apparel, furniture, floor covering, household goods, housewares, hardware, ap pliance, jewelry, radio, television and music stores in the 39-county Southeast Texas area of the Hous ton District Office of Price Stab ilization face an absolute deadline of May 30 for complying with OPS regulations. Fred C. Hopkins, price executive of the Houston OPS, reminded re tailers of all items covered by Ceil ing Price Regulation 7 and Amend ment 2 to that regulation, that they should file copies of their pricing charts with the Houston District OPS before the May 30 deadline. The address of the Houston OPS is 517 LaBranch Street. Retailers File All retailers must file pricing charts who handle any of the fol lowing items: men’s, women’s and children’s wearing apparel, floor coverings, furniture, specialty and gift shop items, records, musical instruments, radio and television sets, phonographs, housewares, garden tools, light hardware, sil verware, chinaware, glassware, jewelry, watches, clocks, appliances and some paper products. Mr. Hopkins outlined some of the many retail stores which are covered by Regulation 7 because of certain items as: general mer chandise, department, specialty, furniture, floor covering, drug, jewelry, grocery, housewares and household goods, hardware, appli ance, music and gift shops. Retailers must keep a copy of their pricing charts in their places of business. Mr. Hopkins explained that retailers may begin to price under their charts just as soon Mrs. Bruckhart Named Head Of Foods Group The Foods Group of t h e A&M Women’s Social Club, in a business session at their luncheon Friday, named Mrs. R. F. Bruckhart as president for 1951-52. Other new officers are Mrs. Royce LeRoy, vice president and program chairman; Mrs. Roy Gar rett, secretary-treasurer; Mrs. C. W. Burchard, reporter, and Mrs. R. W. Carpenter, membership chairman. Lunch at Dearborn At the luncheon hour, the 60 members present enjoyed an imag inary visit to Famous Dearborn Inn in Detroit, Michigan. The hostess, Mrs. J. P. Co Van, greeted the guests as they arrived, and gave each a set of mimeo graphed recipes typical of Dear born Inn. Luncheon was served from the buffet which was decorated with a centerpiece of colorful spring flowers. The menu included Ham with ginger sauce, Parsley Buttered Potato Balls, Buttered peas with onion, corn muffins, Crabapple Jelly, Tossed salad with French Dressing, Pineapple Whipped Cream Pie and Coffee. Old Fords to Decorate In the center of each dining ta ble had been placed a small, old- fashioned Ford car and a pair of bud vases containing roses. Following the luncheon, Mrs. Royce LeRoy introduced Mrs. C. M. McGregor, who gave a brief historical sketch of Dearborn Inn, which was built by Henry Ford for the accommodation of visitors to Greenfield Village and Edison In stitute Museum. The growing pop ularity of Greenfield Village made it necessary to find additional guest room space, and, rather than mar the symmetry of the Dearborn Inn, which is a beautiful Georgian building, it was decided to create a Colonial Village behind the Inn. The houses of the Village are copies of the famous Colonial homes of Patrick Henry, Walt Whitman, Edgar Allan Poe, Bar bara Fritche and Oliver Wolcott. Externally, they are exact replicas of the famous Colonial homes, but the interiors have been modified for the conveniences of modem life. Midwestern Cooking Dearborn Inn does not specialize in any particular food, but features Midwestern cooking. The food is served from tables laid with fine china and silver on damask linen cloths. Mrs. P. G. Murdoch and Mrs. J. G. McGuire were co-chairmen of the program, and the committee included Mesdames Arch Baker, John Roddy, J. W. Sorenson, Co- Van and McGregor. Official Notice As a result of the change In Selective Service Regulations, which now permit a registrant to select his branch of service during the last month of the college ses sion and remain in college until the com pletion of that session, that part of the present college regulation which allows credit to a student voluntarily resigning prior to the completion of the term is revoked, effective May 1, 1951. No change is made in the regulations affecting men called into the service involuntarily. C. Clement French Dean of the College Classes will be suspended at 3 P. M. Thursday, May 3, 1951 to allow time for pre-registration for the first term of sum mer school 1951. C. Clement French Dean of the College as a copy of the chart is filed with the Houston OPS and acknowledge ment is received back. He- emphasized that the pricing charts must not be sent to Wash ington, but must be filed with the Houston District OPS. He pointed out that retailers should file their charts immediately so that the May 30 deadline can be met and avoid a last-minute rush that may result in confusion and the risk of non-compliance. Retailers must file with their pricing charts reports showing margins which they had during the base period of July 1, 1949 through June 30, 1950. Copies of a revised “OPS Guide to Ceiling Price Regulation 7”, which is designed to assist retail ers in preparing their charts and reports, are available through local chambers of commerce throughout the Houston district and at the Houston OPS office, Mr. Hopkins said. On and after July 1, 1951, all commodities covered by Regulation 7 must be marked or tagged with the selling price in a manner plain ly visible to and understandable by customers.

Among the really outstanding faculty wives is Mrs. H. E. (Velma) Redmond who is sponsor for the Vet Wives organization. Members of the club find, at all times, that Mrs. Redmond is their “friend in need” and their chief source of encouragement when the chips are down. When they are planning a party or a program either for their club or personally they have a habit of saying, “Ask Mrs. Redmond. She’ll know.”. . . . Their tribute is a fine one to a faculty wife and this department congratulates her and them for having, such a fine sponsor.
