The Texas cattle industry was in dire distress around the turn of the
century as the result of splenetic or tick fever, commonly known as
Texas fever. Carried by ticks, it killed few native cattle in Texas, but
when transplanted to Northern states was deadly. Texas cattle were
quarantined, and could find no outlet on the northern markets. Dr. Mark
Francis, a young veterinarian from Ohio State University, came to the
A. and M. College of Texas and started the search for a means of com
batting the scourge. He developed the technique of dipping to free the
cattle of ticks, which in time led to lifting of the quarantine. A major
problem still remained ; purebred cattle could not be brought into Texas
to improve our herds, because they lacked the immunity of Texas cattle
and immediately fell victims to the fever. Dr. Francis developed the
means of immunizing these cattle by inoculation and made possible the
development of the modern Texas cattle industry, with its fine cattle
in beef and dairy strains. Dr. Francis served as chief of veterinary
research and Dean of Veterinary Medicine at the A. and M. College of
Texas until his death in 1936.

Air Travel
Increases at
Local Agency
Air passengers are increasing
while bus lines riders are becom
ing fewer, said Mrs. E. E. Ames
of the Ames Travel Agency.
The tradition for Aggies to
hitch-hike and the increased num
ber of automobiles is the primary
reason why students do not buy
bus tickets, she said.
A small percentage of the stu
dents go by air. The students who
travel by air are usually the ones
that live so far away they cannot
make the round trip by any other
fast means.
People fly in and out at irregu
lar intervals for short courses.
Professors make up the hulk of
the local air passengers. When
there is a reason for group travel
with a limited amount of time for
the trip the air lines provide the
most economical transportation, ac
cording to Mrs. Ames.
Local air passengers constitute
about 25 percent of the total num
ber of passengers. From the mon-
atary standpoint air lines produce
about 50 percent of the revenue
for this agency, said Mrs. Ames.

W&mom needs
175 years ago our forefathers risked their necks and all
their earthly goods to put together history’s greatest dec
laration of a free people... Since then we’ve enjoyed a
big package of freedom “for free”,.. And now Freedom
needs us, lest in time to come she become no more than
a worn-out word in a dog-eared dictionary ,..
How would you like to roll out of
bed some dark morning and have
a big palooka tell you where you’re
going to work that week, what
your wife’s going to wear, and what
your kids have to do?
Don’t shrug it off, sink it in—
it can happen here!
The point is, we’re more likely
to toss Freedom away ourselves—
unthinking as with an old ciga
rette butt—than lose it in a fight.
Over the years we have tended
to become a nation of spectators of
the things that keep us free, just
as we are at baseball games,
movies, or our TV sets. In govern
ment, we have tended to
become a nation of Monday
morning quarterbacks,
grandstand umpires and sideline
sophisticates. Haven’t we?
We watch a few others vote, then
gripe because the wrong man gets
in, and moral standards suffer.
We look on while the commu
nity discusses a project, then kick
like steers because the new school
didn’t get built.
We view with alarm prices going
up but don’t stop to think of put
ting some of our excess change into
Defense Bonds and other savings.
Here are four short words to
think about:
WORK •SAVE •VOTE- PRAY
It takes doing things like that
to keep Freedom solvent—and
America needs 150 million people
in the act. Doesn’t it?

The Declaration of Independence was signed at Independence Hall,
Philadelphia, in 1776. Here will gather the Delegates of Freedom on
July 1, 2, 3 and 4. They will come from all over America and from
freedom-loving countries.
This is the year of re-dedication throughout America. Take a new

help it along today as it has helpcdyou in the past.
