Chemist From
North Ireland
To Talk Here
A chemist from Northern
Ireland will deliver a lecture
here Tuesday at 8 p.m. in the
lecture room of th'e Biological
Sciences Building. The pub
lic is invited. Dr. Ide P. Trotter,
dean of the Graduate School, said.
Dr. Cecil L. Wilson, the lecturer,
is a member of the Chemistry De
partment, The Queen’s University
of Belfast, Northern Ireland. He
will talk on “Ultramicroanalysis.”
“In j-ecent years”, Dr. Trotter
says*, it has become evident that
minute quantities of some substan
ces often have a profound effect
on certain chemical, physical and
industrial processes. Conventional
c h e m i c a 1 techniques frequently
failed to isolate the small amounts
involved.
“After much experimentation by
our speaker and others great pro
gress has been made in a field
called ultramicroanalysis. As the
name implies this is a much mm’e
delicate and refined- process than
microchemistry. It deals with the
analjMsis of exceptionally small
quantities of either known or un
known substances.
“Dr. Wilson will review the his
tory and development of the tech-
niques vised in this field. He will
deal in greater detail with the
work he has guided at The Qvieen’s
University of Belfast which has
contributed much to this new area
of knowledge. In addition he will
present his ideas regarding the
most likely trends which may de
velop in the future.”

Brigh t Fu tu re Here
Dr, David H. Moi’gan, president
of the College, took the “pulse” of
the communities of College Station
and Bryan and repoi’ted to the
Bx-yan Chamber of Commerce that
the pulse was “strong and healthy.”
The pxilse descx*ibed by him at
the annual banquet of the Bryan
group Tuesday night was the indi
cations of the pxesent resources
and wealth of this ax-ea and the
“futui’es unlimited,” to which in
dications point.
In putting over his point that
College Station, Bi’yan and the
College ai'e gi'owing and will con
tinue to grow, he pointed out the
55 per cent inci’ease in population
dui’ing the past five years; the in

POSSIBLY SNOW
Freezing x’ain, sleet, and pos

quite so rapid, in College Station;
the increase in the number of
school-age children in the County;
the inci'easing economic and cul-
tui’al welfai’e of the communities;
and more—all of which serves as
a testament for a bountiful future.
Also stressed by Dr. Moi’gan in
his talk was the friendly teamwork
between intei’-dependent pai’ts of
the two cities and the College.
In desci’ibing A&M’s place in this
“futures unlimited,” the A&M
pi'esident pointed out the economic,
educational and cultural impact of
the College on the community, and
also descxnbed the dependence of
A&M upon resources in Bi’yan:
living quai’ters, educational facili
ties fox* A&M students’ and em
ployees’ childx-en, chui’ches, and
othei’s.
“It is evident,” he said, “that
the various segments of our com
munities are headed towai'd an
even greater inter-dependency. . .
We must keep our people infoi'med
to promote understanding, to in
ci’ease oui’ cooperative spirit, and
to keep building a better place to
live, consciously realizing that the
gi’owth and development of one
segment benefits anothex*.”
In closing, Dr. Moi’gan said, “As
we look into the future of Bryan
and College Station, the Air Foi'ce
Base and the educational institu
tions, and agi-icultui’e and industi’y
both present and futux*e, there can
be but one team moving foi’wai’d
with whole-heaided coopei'ation to-
wai’d one common objective—the
betteraient of the community—with
an inci’easingly x-icher spiritual,
mental and physical life for all
constantly advancing us into Fu
tui’es Unlimited.”
CS Observers
Help Close
Warning Ring
The selection of College
Station as a site for one of
the newly formed Ground Ob
server Corps posts for Texas
means the community will
help to close the pei’imeter begun
by posts opei'ating in Canada and
most states along the outei’ pei’-
imeter of the U.S., Col. Pei’cy
Goff, tactical officer at A&M Col
lege and post commander for the
Gx-ound Observer Corps, has de-
clai'ed.
“Volunteer cooperation in this
vital defense structure is urgent,”
Col. Goff said, “because the GOC
is a coopex*ative community pro
ject requiring team woi’k between
many scattei'ed towns and a filter
centei’, which fox* this ai’ea is
Houston, whei’e the center is be
ing organized and ti’ained.
“When enough local people have
volunteered to help organize and
defend oui' paid of this defense
pattei'n, an organizational meeting
will be called,” he said. “Not long
ago a local release carried in con
nection with“Opei’ation Sagebrush”
stated a theoi’etical atomic bomber
had sneaked beneath our radar and
knocked out Bryan Air Foi’ce Base.
This points out the urgent need
for civilian manned GOC net-
woi'ks.”
