ett Hughes of Monroe City are

Miss Duckworth was graduated
from Sunset High School in Dal

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.
Recent additions to' the popula
