Ever hear of little snakes that come from horse-hair placed in wa ter during certain times of the year? Such an occurance has of ten been held up for the truth by “showmen of science* featuring marvels of science for gullible peo ple to behold. Such an example is the legend of the horse-hair snakes. The leg end originated with “snakes” ap pearing in watering troughs in horse lots. The snakes were about six inches long, white in color and like the many horse hairs that fell in the trough. The verdict—life originated from the dead horse hair. Spreading of the “life from death” story was rapid and left up to “quack scien tists.” Now, anyone knows that life from death is highly improbable, if not impossible. Parasites and in sects that attack animals is the solution to the horse-hair snake legend. A parasite known as the round worm, which lives in the intestinal tract of insects and animals, is the horse-hair snake. The worm, belonging to the order Nema Helm- inthes, is often found boarding with the June Bug. The June Bug picks up the worm when it is in the grub worm stage. The June Beetle, while it is a grub worm in the pupua stage, gets the round worm in 'its intestinal tract. Then, after the grub worm pupatates to the June Beetle form, it only needs to drown in the horse trough for the round worm to es cape and become the horse-hair snake. Minister, Students Plan Mexico Trip Rev. Charles G. Workman, min ister to students at the A&M Presbyterian Church, is planning to spend six weeks on an agricul tural service project in Mexico. He is going to take 12 students with him on the project. They will be selected on the basis of those who wjsh to attend. Rev. Work man would prefer to have six Mexican students and six Ameri can students. The group will leave for Telo- loapan, Guerrero, Mexico, around the first of June. One purpose of the project is to teach and demon strate the preservation of food supplies. A religious study pro gram for the members of the group will be conducted by Work man and several trips will be made to various places of interest in Mexico. Cost of the trip and expenses during the six weeks will be about $150. Workman hopes to have the members of the group selected by the end of April. Preference will be made for agriculture and industrial education majors. A&M Rodeo Club Changes Policies The Rodeo Club has accepted new policies in conjunction with the Na tional Intercollegiate Rodeo to be held here April 19-21. All contestants will be issued numbers to wear. The numbers will serve as a pass for contestants to get into the arena. The other policy set by the Club was that all professors would be given com plimentary passes for the Saturday evening performance. That “new suit” I “bought” for Dad is really an old one I had rejuvenated at . . .

Then check the storage temperature. If it is below 40 or 50 degrees, some of the starch turns to sugar. And of course potatoes like a blackout, so give them a dark waiting-room as well as a cool one. s A V E ON ... . • Washing • Greasing • Service Plus S&H Green Stamps at L. E.

Like most little boys he finds the task pretty fascinating, and he revels in small seas of yellow and red and blue and green. Easter morning, the eggs will have been hidden by his parents and he and his .sister will excitedly hunt for them. Probably they’ll stumble across some chocolate bun nies and candy chickens, also. But that will not be all of Easter for them. Johnnie and his sister will be going to Church, too. They may not understand the complete significance of everything they hear and see . . . but they are old enough to know something of what Easter means. And with each passing year they will learn a little more. Johnnie’s parents have started early to train their children in spiritual as well as physical values. Easter eggs, yes. But Church, by all means, too. Not just on Easter, either . . . but on every Sunday in the year. THE CHURCH FOR ALL . . . ALL FOR THE CHURCH The Church is the greatest fac tor on earth for the building of character and good citizenship, ft is a storehouse of spiritual values. Without a strong Church, neither democracy nor civilization can survive. There are four sound reasons why every person should attend services regularly and sup port the Church. They are: (1) For his own sake. (2) For his children's sake. (3) For the sake of his community and nation. (4/ For the sake of the Church itself, which needs his moral and ma terial support.
