Lea OPTOMETRIST 303A East 26th (Across from Court House) Call 2-1662 for Appointment At School Stadium By FRANK DAVIS Bryan Daily News Staff Approximately 500 people at tended the annual College Station Pet Show last night. One person remarked every dog in the city turned out for the event. Although dogs were in the ma jority, such animals as squirrels, birds, cats, horses, snakes, skunks, raccoons, gold fish, and turtles were carried and led to Tiger Sta dium where the show was held. One man was noticed hurrying from the show. He was shaking his head murmuring he had seen a pink goat. Selected as the most decorated entry, the goat, belong ing to P. I). Gandy, had been dyed. The eight-year-old said the goat’s name was “Billy the Kid.” Pet Raccoon “Flour” was the name of a de- scented skunk brought to the show by James Bradley Smith. Dan Davis had a pet raccoon he had raised. One horse was seen at the show. “Tony” belonged to Betty Jean Williams. Four baby rabbits were the pets of Betty Ivy. The rabbits had been kept alive by feeding with them eye droppers. A Mex ican Creasted Curassow was brought by Bill Wing. The bird was captured in Mexico by the boy’s father, Leonard Wing. Resembling a circus, the show was complete with clowns, rings, musicians, and concessions stands. Two rings were set up for the judging of pure bred and heinz dogs. Eight groups of dogs were judg ed. Winners in the large, long haired pure bred division were Kathy Walker’s, “Laddie”, first place; and “Skipper” belonging to David Holdredge, second place. Short-Haired “Dulee”, belonging to Bill Arm- istead and “Sport”, belonging to Candy Pugh, vied for first place honors in the large, short-haired pure bred division. Second place winners in the group were Chris Shaffer’s, “Riki”; Janet David’s, “Blue Lady”; and Tommy Moore’s, “Buddy”. Bobby Adams’ “Kriss” tied with Sue Stiles’ “Hogo” for third place honors. Other winners were Frank Brown’s, “Patty”; Jimmy Potts’, “Skeeter”; third places, and M. C. Gandy’s, “Spot”; Susan Briles’, Moses (Continued from Page 5) Tech Red Raiders Moses put on his usual fine performance. The next weekend against one of the top offensive teams of the nation, OU’s Sooners, Sam was one of the standout linemen of the game. Time after time he barged in with the other Aggie linemen to smear plays before their start. The defensive line, spearhead ed by Moses among others, was the principal factor in the great Aggie victory, holding the bruis ed Sooners to a measly four first downs. The TCU game saw Sam con tinue his ussal great play when h» cleared the way on numerous oc casions as Bob Smith returned to his running form of 1950. With outstanding performances in all games of this year Moses thus makes a spirited bid for All Conference honors. Keep up the good work, Sam! Beat Baylor GOING SOMEWHERE?

The COLLEGIATE SHOP Stevedores Order Mass Pier Picketing New York, Oct. 24—GT 1 )— Leaders of rebel stevedores ordered mass picketing at ev ery pier in the vast New York port today to greet the initial peace efforts of the government’s top labor trouble-shooter. Clyde M. Mills, the nation’s lead ing federal mediator, rushed here from Washington last night, with the wildcat dock strike paralyzing this two-state port and crippling other Atlantic harbors. The only apparent break in the dispute came late yesterday when strikers agreed to resume work on army troop transports. But they said they still would not han dle military cargo shipping for Korea and other outposts. Insurgent stevedores claimed up to 30,000 members of the AFL In ternational Longshoremen’s Asso ciation (ILA) had joined their re bellion against ILA President John P. Ryan and his administration. 6 A&M Great’ Says Local Minister “A&M is a great institution,” says Mr. James F. Fowler, minister oi the Church of Christ of College Station, “with students going about in many ways preparing to become men of tomorrow. A first and last ing impression concerning the Ag gies is the general willingness which they display and their ser ious thinking.” Fowler, an instructor in the re ligious education department siripe its beginning in 1946, resides in the parsonage adjacent to the church located at the corner of Church St. and Main. Prior to his coming here in 1946, he spent two and a half years at the Central Church of Christ in Temple and two years at the Shamrock Shores Church of Christ in Dallas. Since his start in the religious education department of A&M, the enrollment has grown to three times the size and three other in structors are used in the depart ment. Fowler, one of five children, was bora in Thorp Springs, Texas, in 1919. His father was a minister in the Church of Christ for over forty years, hence, when Fowler graduated from Breckenridge High School in San Antonio, it was with little surprise that in 1937 he be gan school at Abilene Christian College where, he majored in edu cation and Bible. He received his bachelor of sci ence degree from the college in 1942, and then transferred to Southern Methodist where tie work ed in education and psychology and received his masters degree in 1946. After graduation, he married the former Miss Lottie Netter- ville of Nashville, Tenn. She had also attended ACC where she re ceived a BS in home economics. They now have four children; James, Jr. 8, Lois 6, Judy Carrol 3, and the newest edition, Dorothy Ann, 4 months. The ministers scarce spare time is occupied by his woodworking hobby.
