We are inclined to think of tuberculosis as a disease that disappeared with the advent of modern drugs. But then we aren’t realizing just how serious a problem TB still is. It is understandably easy to fall into a false sense of security and think “that will never happen to me.” But how bitter are the pangs of remorse when we find ourselves confronted wth the problem we dodged so easly before ? By buying Christmas Seals, we aren’t only helping those already stricken with TB; we also are helping the continuance of a kind of insurance that asks no premiums or monthly rates but lasts just as long as there are people who will give. An old saying goes: “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” BARGAINS IN TOYS Some Slightly Shopworn Toys Some Over Stock Items SEE THEM ON OUR BARGAIN TABLJ3 Student Co-op Store No. Gate 4-4114 D, r tangle DRIVE IN DINING ROOM 90c LUNCH Served from 11 until 2 PLATE LUNCHES Soup or Juice — 2 Vegetables Meat — Coffee or Tea — Dessert Triangle Banquet Room BY RESERVATION ONLY FOR LUNCHEONS, DINNERS,| RECEPTIONS, WEDDINGS AND BANQUETS Do You Read!

Bryan 2-1669 Daily Train Service Begins At North Zulch The Burlington Lines’ Sam Hous ton Zephyr will begin making con ditional stops at North Zulch Sun day, to discharge or pick up pas sengers to or from Houston and Dallas. Recent surveys in the area of Texas, roughly bordered by Bryan, College Station, Navasota, Hunts ville and Madisonville, indicated a railway passenger potential in that area. A conditional stop of a passenger train is one made on notice to the agent in advance when passengers desire to board the train. Notice to the conductor enroute is neces sary so that he may arrange to stop the train to let passengers off. The Zephyr operates on a daily run from Houston to Dallas and return, leaving Houston at 8:35 a.m. on the northward trip. It leaves Dallas at 5:00 p.m. on the southward trip. The train is sched uled to pass North Zulch at 10:07 a.m. enroute to Dallas and at 7:£4 p.m. enroute to Houston. “Recent discontinuances of pas senger train service between the Dallas-Fort Worth area and the territory to be served by the North Zulch stop of the Sam Houston Zephyr prompted the survey that was made and the resulting deci sion to provide this added service for that section of Texas,” said R. Wright Armstrong, vice-president of the Fort Worth and Denver Rail way, concerning his railroad’s plans. North Zulch is 23 miles east of Bryan and 13 miles west of Madi sonville on U.S. Highway 190, State Highway 21. The town is served by all-weather roads.
