The de cision to conduct this meeting on the A&M campus was announced by Dr. R. D. Lewis, Director of the Texas Agricultural Experi ment Station. The 10 day session will be devoted to research meth odology in the fields of prices, trade, and transportation. The 1952 Workshop, which will be the fourth in a series, will be attended by representatives from all the land grant colleges in the United States plus personnel from various divisions of the United States Department of Agriculture. The Agricultural Research and City Council Vo Entertain Foreign Ags The annual Christmas tea for foreign students was held by the College Station Council of Church Women Sunday from 4 until 5 p. m. in the South Solarium of the YMCA. Mrs. M. L. Cushion, chairman, greeted guests at the door. Mrs. J. H. Bass handled the registry, and Mrs. Gordon Gay presided at the silver service. Mrs. A. B. Carter served cake squares from a table laid with a lace cloth. The centerpiece of mag nolia leaves and red Christmas ornaments was flanked by large red candles. Approximately 100 honor guests '«we entertained by the members of the church council and their hubsands. Countries represented by the honor guests were China, Pakis tan, Turkey, India, Afganistan, Mexico, Iraq, and Argentina, ac cording to council reporter Mrs. Robert Sneed. The College Station Council of Church Women is composed of members of the A&M Christian, St. Thomas Episcopal, A&M Meth odist, A&M Presbyterian, A&M Lutheran, and the Church of Je sus Christ of Latter Day Saints churches. Marketing Act <Jf 1946 gave em phasis to agricultural marketing work, and created a need for a training program. These workshops have been set up for that purpose. Dr. Harry Trelogan and Dr. Bernard Joy of the Agricultural Research Administration in Wash ington, D. C., were on the campus Monday and Tuesday discussing the details of next summer’s Work shop with Dr. Lewis and other members of the Experiment Sta tion Staff. Dr. Lewis also announced the appointment of Dr. W. E. Paul son of the department of agricul tural economics and sociology as a member of the national planning committee, composed of land grant college and U. S. D. A. workers, whose function is to develop the program for the Workshop. Hughes-Duckworth Set December Date John Hughes, senior industrial engineering major, will make Joyce Elba Duckworth his bride Dec. 23 in the First Baptist Church of Denison. Miss Duckworth is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Marshall of Denison, and Mr. and Mrs. Ever ett Hughes of Monroe City are parents of the groom-elect. Miss Duckworth was graduated from Sunset High School in Dal las, Arlington State College, and North Texas State College. She is now teaching in Navasota. Hughes was graduated from Na vasota High School and attended Sam Houston State College. Now in his last year at A&M, Hughes is a member of the AIIE, and lives at Puryer Hall. Following their marriage, the couple will be at home in Navasota. Singapore Cargo Singapore——The docks in Singapore handled the biggest turnover of cargo in their history in the year ended June 30, 1951. The total was 4,947,727 tons loaded and discharged. During the first six months of 1951, imports were 17 per cent and exports 15 per cent more than in the corresponding period of 1950. New Dairy Units Open By March Modem $200,000 dairy buildings will be completed by March, said R. E. Leighton. Foundations for the first build ing was poured in August 1949. Building was interrupted because of the material shortages caused by world conditions. The entire unit consists of feed ing barn, milk parlor, shelter bam, and hay storage barn. The feeding bam has stanchions. with individual waterers between ; pairs of cows, and 20 individual! feeding stalls. The stalls will be used for feed research work on dairy cows. The cows will receive their grain ration in the feeding barn prior to milking and will receive no feed during the milking operation. A “Walk Through” milk parlor is adjacent to the feeding barn. The design is such that the person who washes the udders and tends the milking machines can remain in an upright position. The cows are standing on an elevated slab while being milked. The niilk tra vels from the udder to the weigh bottle, then over a cooler, and from there into an insulated tank truck. After being milked the cows go to the shelter bam where hay and silage is fed. This bam has a capacity of ICO dairy cows. A&M prefers to call this barn a shelter barn rather than call it a loafing bam. Even though a cow is 1 lying down her body continues to pro duce milk said Leighton. ‘Lost Items Found’ In Security Office Everything from lost bicycles to class rings have been turned in at the Campus Security Office, says Fred Hickman, chief of Campus Security. Many of the articles turned in have remained unclaimed for sev eral weeks. Each article lost is of value and should be claimed at once, says Hickman. There are some bicycles who’s records have been lost and can not be identified. Any student who has lost or found any article is asked by Chief Hickman to contact the Security Office. Residents of College View have made a “waiting list” for apart ment C-14-C, when it is vacated in June. The list is the proof of the en thusiastic ramors about a fabulous apartment in College View which looks like a “room of the Sham rock.” Darla and Curley Harlin, spend ing more time and energy than money, have turned their barracks apartment into a channing home. The living room, with a bamboo shade at the window and Chinese bric-a-brac on polished birch shelv es of the “partition” dividing liv ing and dining areas, has an orien tal flavor. Jet black drapes, splash ed with ming trees and pagodas, add distinction. The long wall of the room is covered with textured wallpaper with dark green stripes. Dividing the room, without for feiting a feeling of spaciousness, is the partition which Curley made of shelves and dowelling. Gainful ly mitered corners on the shelves create the illusion of solid birch slabs. Curley, doing graduate work in the sanitary engineering depart^ ment, received his BS from A&M in 1950. The Karlin’s lived in B-18-Y when Curley was doing undergrad uate work. He is a member of Tau Beta Phi and the ASCE. Darla had a hand in making their department into the charm ing, tasteful-decorated place it is, In addition to her interest in making a home look lovely, Darla likes to cook and sew. She is also a big fan for Curtis Chester Har lin III. “Curt” is 8 months old. Aggieland has been home for Darla much of her eight years of married life. The lovely aubum- haired student wife says she’ll be ready to leave, “When we get that thesis written!” Her only regret is leaving friends here, but she is anxious to have a “real home.” Together, the Harlin’s have made a small apartment in a' barracks building the next thing to a real home. Even though thermometers are undecided whether to soar or to skid to the freezing mark, the City of College Station is definitely ar ranging for a festive Christmas. Prizes mounting daily for local winners of The Battalion Christ mas Decorating Contest are keep ing abreast of the snowballing en thusiasm of residents in making Christmas, 1951, a festive holiday. D e 1 i c a t e snowflake patterns, crepe paper Christmas carolers, brightly lighted wreaths and trees, and “snow” whipped with egg- beaters are all being seen in more and more windows. We predict that driving through College Sta tion will be a treat by next Wed nesday, which is contest judging day. Another treat offered residents is the blanket invitation extended by the Bryan Carden Club for everyone to attend the Christmas “Pilgrimage” Dec. 13 from 4 until 9 p.m. The transient party will be held in the homes of Mrs. L. D. Stuart, Mrs. Marvin Porter, Mrs. Nat B. Allen Jr., and Mrs. Frank Seale. A tea will be held in the home of Mrs. Seale, and Mrs. E. E. Yeager is in charge of the party arrange ments. Those interested in attending the Pilgrimage Dec. 13 and 4 until 9 p. m. may call Mrs. Mike Barrow at 2-8529 to make reservations. Mrs. Allie Jeanne Glass, daugh ter of Mrs. C. J. Kosarek of Bry an, is a nominee for junior class beauty at TSCW. Allie, who Will be presented for mally at the annual Christmas dance Dec. 15, is a counselor for the junior dormitory, and a mem ber of Sigma Tau Delta, the Home Economics Club, the Tessie Play ers, and the Bryan-College Station Club. , Mr. and Mrs. Melville Mumme of B-13-Y College View entertained Mrs. Mumme’s twin sister, Miss Gloria Tappero of Salt Lake City, Utah, during Gloria’s two week vacation. Improving in St. Joseph Hospi tal of Bryan are patients Dr. Ido P. Trotter, Dean, of the Graduate School, and Egbert W- Hooker, Chief Clerk of the School of Ag riculture.
