Girls for Pops with Gout
Scientist Discovers Bald
Fathers Have More Boys
Washington, Aug. 17—<A > )—If
you’re bald, mister, the chances
are you’ll have more boy children
than girls, a scientist suggested
yesterday.
Dr. Marianne E. Bernstein of the
Institute Di Statistiche in Rome,
Italy, also came up with these
views:
Fathers suffering from gout
will probably have more girls than
boys.
Total Of 882
Civilians Now
At Bryan AFB
Civilian employment has reached
a total of 882 at Bryan AFB, it
was announced yesterday by
spokesmen of the major contract
ors and the Texas Employment
Agency.
Of the total, 715 are employed
in the rehabilitation program at
Bryan AFB, with the remaining
167 in civil service positions.
Earle L. Jones, project man
ager for Steinberg and Sons, said
his company and 12 sub-contractors
now have 663 at the task of re
novating the buildings on the base.
He went on to say the present
strength represented the peak of
employment in his company, how
ever, officials of other companies
stated their payrolls would in
crease, following preliminary con-
struction phases.
Southwestern General Construc
tion Company is laying a railroad
spur from the Bryan AFB supply
area to the main runway, 1400
feet distant. Upon completion of
the spur and upon receipt of sup
plies, work on the runway will be
stepped up.
13 Local Troopers
Attend Scout Camp
Thirteen boy scouts and two
adult leaders of the College Sta
tion Boy Scout Troop 102 left
Monday for camp “August Sim-
son” at the Simson Ranch in
Mason County, according to G.
W. Rivers, adult scout leader.
The College Station Kawinis
Club gave the scouts $100' to' help
pay the expenses of the trip and
the boys chipped in for the bus
fare.
Scouts attending the Summer
; Camp under the direction of Scout
master Sgt. M. T. Higginson and
adult leader George Litton include:
Bobby Wilkins, George Litton, Jr.,
Charles Johnson, Butch Couch,
Nicky Hopkins, Donald Parsons,
Ben Trotter, Earnest Tanzer, Dave
Lloyd, Dayton Moses, Norman
Floeck, Jack McNeely and Tom
Ivey.
Men engaged in “aggressive,
extrovert” occupations in which
women have seldom become out
standing—such as soldiers, law
yers and businessmen—are pro
bably more “male” than such
guys as actors, artists and fic
tion writers.
And they’ll probably have more
male offsprings than the chaps en
gaged in “introvert, retiring oc
cupations” where women frequeht-
ly have become big shots.
Dr. Bernstein reported in the
technical journal “Science” that
she believes factrolling the “sex
ratio” of offspring are identical
with, or act through, factors which
control a man’s balance of male and
female sex harmones.
(All men have both male and
female hormones in their sys
tems, but the male ones predom
inate. Dr. Bernstein’s suggestions
appear to be that the balance
can be upset under certain con
ditions so that some men have
more of the male hormones than
others.)
She pointed out that gout is a
disturbance of the endocrine gland
system of which the sex hormones
set-up is a part.
Also, she said, male sex hor
mones play a role in the develop
ment of baldness.
Reporting on statistical and
other studies she and her col
leagues made among a large num
ber of American families, the doc
tor said:
“Bald men were found to have
40 percent more male offspring
than men with full hair or with re
ceding hahiine that had not de-

plies, and travel by employees
would amount to not more than
$5,680. Five hundred dollars would
be labeled for emergencies. Clin
icians for V. D. control amount to
$750. Rent and utilities for the
unit offices is set at $1,600.
Highlights of the health unit
controversy occured Friday, Aug.
4, when the Bryan City Commis
sioners deleted $9,075 from the
city's annual contribution to the
health unit; Tuesday, Aug. 7, when
Dr. Brown announced his resigna
tion; Wednesday, when the health
unit’s governing board met with
out success.
Thursday, when a special com
mittee appointed by the board met
to consider better methods of pro
ration, and ended when a trip was
planned to Austin the following
Monday to meet with state health
officers.
Monday, Aug. 13, the group re
turned from Austin with sugges
tions that the budget be restudied
and reworked. Thursday, Dr. Mc
Gill released new budget proposed
by the board.

“In families where the fathers
are menriiers of the armed forces,
business executives, politicians,
lawyers, farmers, abstract scien
tists like astronomers, mathe
maticians, and so forth, the sex
ratio of 5,400 children was found
to be 120 boys for every 100
girls.
“However, in families where the
fathers were in professions in
which many famous women were
engaged—actors, social workers,
child educators, fiction winters
and all kinds of artists—the sex
ratio for 1,800 children was found
to be 85 boys for every 100 girls

Tommy Harvey, Pioneer Arlines agent, checks out the first ship
ment of air mail to some in at Easterwood Field to Post Office
mail carrier Bob Carter. Pioneer began operations at the local
airport Wednesday with the first landing at 7:01 a.m.
Rotarians Hear Aviation Man
At the regular Wednesday lunch
eon of the Bryan-Gollege Station
Rotary Club, W. D. Price, super
intendent of communications for
Pioneer Airlines was guest speaker.
Invocation was given by Nat
Allen and guests were introduced
by Bob Braley. The guests were
Ton Chen-y of New York and
J. F. Prior, Jr. and J. W. Town
send, Jr. both of Houston.
Price said he wished to discuss
the matter of communications from
and with airplanes in relation to
all commercial airlines.
He said the first progressive
step was the four course range
landing station, a method by which
a landing station or strip main
tained a four point range or con
tact with other stations.
The fan market station which
was introduced in .1937 was an im
provement by which lights went on
the plane when it flew through the
landing area, notifying the pilot
of this fact, he explained.
About 1940, the Airways Traffic
Control system was instituted by
the Federal Government, Price said
which proved very satisfactory un
til the great number of planes
produced during World War II lead
to the adoption of the present
method of flying known as instru
ment landing or instrument flying.
The airlines are sincerely inter
ested in trying to get its custom
ers through the air and on and
off the ground with more speed.
Price said the matter of communi
cations was now being handled
very efficiently.
At the end of the luncheon all
rotarians were requested to bring
some old magazines to the next
weekly meeting to be given to Bry
an AFB.

Could you play baseball without rules? No, in
any game there are rules that must be followed.
And it’s because of these rules that the game is
orderly and interesting. Without them a ball
game would result in complete confusion, and
neither the players nor the spectators would
enjoy it at all.
So it is with society! Through the ages the
greatest civilizations have been those with the
best rules and laws. Our own United States Con
stitution, a masterpiece in law, has proved that
good government produces a great nation.
Life must also have rules if we are to live hap
pily. And to guide us toward this end God has
given us a set of rules, which is known the :
world over as the Ten Commandments.
Open your Bible and learn them today—and
tomorrow* and always you’ll be a better, happier
person.
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: (1)
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.
