Preferred by all active men who seek
a dependable self-winding watch
The weakest point in ordinary waterproof
watches is the fit of the crystal. Under extremes of
temperature it expands or contracts. Each
little opening permits dust or dampness to
penetrate. The steel-rim, pressure-fitted
Seamaster crystal maintains a perfect
seal under a// conditions. The unique
Hydro-Seal back and Hermetic
Crown give additional immunity.
Of all water-resistant watches
we consider the Seamaster best.

Negroes Organize Panel
A group of College Station Neg
ro residents have set up an organ
ization patterned along the lines
of a chamber of commerce with
the goal of “improving the eco
nomic, recreational, health and wel
fare of Negro residents in the
community.”
Several preliminary meetings
were held, at which the problems
of the community were discussed,
and then the council was formed
and officers elected.
Henry Williams w-ill serve as
president; James Stewart, vice-
president; D. B. Washington, sec
retary; Riley Woods, treasurer; and
Phillip Steen, chaplain. Walter
Steen is chairman of the board of
directors, whose members include
the Rev. L. W. Flowers, Sam
Pearce, W. A. Tarrow, Sam Kear
ney, James Stewart Jr., Tommy
Preston, Effie Hollie and A. C.
Clark.
W. A. Tarrow, principal of Lin
coln School, and a member of the
board of directors, stressed that
the newly formed organization had
no connection with the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People.
“We merely want to encourage
the people in our sections of the
community to take pride in their
surroundings and help them im
prove their living conditions,” Tat .•
row said.
“Most of our home-owners want
to be proud of their surroundings,
and we plan to give them an oppor
tunity to help themselves.”

(See WHO’S WHO, Page 8)
Christmas recess begins Satur
day at noon. You are a little late
getting away from the campus,
and are in a hurry to get home and
start enjoying your 16 glorious
days of vacation.
It is more than a hundred miles
home, and you think you have to
be there two hours after you leave
the campus.
You’re doing fine, almost home
and in fifteen minutes less than
record time. In fact you are over
joyed by your new record and are
going so fast that you don’t see
that car in front of you in time
to stop.
Crash! Now you can spend the
rest of your 16 days in a hospital.
If you’re lucky you’ll be able to
come back to class Jan. 3. If you’re
not your parents may be attending
your funeral. Either way you
lose, and if you had just taken
your time it could have been
avoided.
Remember when you start home,
don’t drive over the speed limit.
One in every five urban accidents
is caused by excessive speed, and
more than 38 per cent of traffic
fatalities in rural areas were need
lessly caused because someone was
driving too fast.
When you start back after the
holidays, leave home early enough
so you won’t have to drive fast.
The administration has added an
extra day to the vacation so you
will have plenty of time to get back
to school without setting any speed
records.
