Benson Picks
Iowa State
For Cattle Lab
WASHINGTON (AP) — Secre
tary of Agriculture Benson picked
Iowa State College at Ames, a
school he once attended, Tuesday
as the site for the governments
new $18 million laboratory for
animal diseases.
Benson said this location had
been recommended by livestock in
dustry advisory committee which
surveyed proposed sites.
Congress has under considera
tion a request for funds to set up
the new center which is planned
to provide for research on 25 ani
mal diseases.
Ames is in the center of the na
tion’s hog and cattle feeding area,
but is some distance from the
range cattle and sheep producing
areas-of the country.
Benson commended the advisory
committee for what he described
as its “excellent work in evaluat-.
ing the many proposals before it.”
Other locations considered were
College Station, Texas; Madison,
Wis.; Columbia, Mo.; Manhattan,
Kan.; Stillwater, Okla.; Athens,
Ga. and Fort Collins, Colo.
Benson said Ames was selected
as it is far removed for any criti
cal target area, is considered an
outstanding scientific center, has
excellent and continuing research
Activity at Iowa State College
which would help in the laboratory
work and has an excellent library
on subjects which would be of
value to laboratory scientists.
Benson said that Ames fit all
qualifications set down by Con
gress prior to the picking of a
site.
Benson said the site committee
recommended Colorado A&M Col
lege at Fort Collins as an alter
native location if the one at Iowa
State proved not faasible.
Chancellor M. T. Harrington
of the A&M System said that
he was disappointed but not sur
prised that the USDA animal
disease laboratory had ben lo
cated at Ames.
“We felt that we had a per
fect site for the laboratory here
at College Station, but we knew
from the first that Middle-West
sites were probably the strong
est contenders,” he said.
“We have been pleased with
the aid given by local people
in our bid and the encourage
ment and aid from the leaders of
the livestock industry through
out Texas,” Harrington added.

Summer
With ’56
Players
Mikado
Successful
Musical
by Tom Thomas
Battalion Staff Writer
Last night in the Grove, Gilbert
and Sullivan’s “Mikado” closed a
successful two-night run. Once
again, Bill Turner has scored a hit
in his Summer Musical series. The
cast and orchestra, drawn from
the college and the community, did
a wonderful piece of work.
Outstanding players in lead roles
were Robert Boone, as the Mikado
and Warner Dahlberg as Pooh
Bah. The difficult part of the old
witch-woman, Katisha, was effec
tively handled by Iris Bullard.
Audiences were duly impressed by
the exuberance of the local theatri
cal veteran Hairy Gooding, who
was not to be denied in his handl
ing of Ko-Ko, the Lord High* Ex
ecutioner.
Contributing greatly, to the fine
performance was the professional
quality of the scenery, designed by
Marcia Smith. Other members of
the set crew were Joe Delotte and
Janet Folweiler. Special mention
should also go to the sound tech
nicians, for the public address sys
tem vvas fully audible even at the
rear of the audience.
It is to be regretted that the
Southern Pacific’s 8:30 train in
sists upon coming through College
Station at 8:30, thereby knocking
a big hole in the first act. The
cast appeared unruffled by the
disappearance of light when once
again the performance was re
sumed.
Gilbert and Sullivan seem almost
to have reached the optimum in
character analysis when they des-
Stark Speaks
To Kiwanians
On Leaguers
Wayne Stark, president of the
College Station Little League,
spoke to the College Station Ki-
wahis Club on the oi’ganization, fi
nancing and problems confronting
Little League enthusiasts in the
community.
Speaking to the Kiwanians at
their regular meeting Tuesday noon
in the MSC Stark said that par
ents are the biggest single problem
facing Little League today.
“We realize they (parents) are
necessai-y, but it is largely through
their influence that most of the
trouble occurs,” Stark said.
“Too many teams put too much
emphasis on winning,” Stark said.
“We are trying to impress our boys
that winning is good, but sports
manship is important too.”
This year the Little League will
present individual and team cups
to the boy and team which amass
the most points for good sports
manship during the season. These
points are given by the umpires at
each game who scores the team,
manager and parents on their dis
play of sportsmanship. At the
close of the season the boy with
the most points will be announced
and the team displaying the best
sportsmanship will be piesented
cups.
Financing Little League is pos
sible through fees charged spon
soring organizations, passing the
“kitty” at each game and money
made from the sale of membership
cards and profits from the conces
sion stands at the park.
Staik was introduced by the
Rev. Norman Anderson, pastor of
the A&M Presbyterian Church.
W. E. (Woody) Briles prasided at
the meeting.
ignated Nanki-Poo as a slide trom
bone. Toby Hughes played a very
convincing trombone. But serious
ly, I’d like to suggest that local
theatre-goers keep their eyes on
Aggie-Player Hughes during the
coming two Winter seasons.
The orchestra accompanying the
Mikado was adequate though small.
Maybe next year, more people in
the community will feel public
spirited enough to lend their time
and talents to the success of an
other such fine operetta.

At Last Meeting

film, “History of the Toothed
Wheel”, at their regular meeting
in the Assembly Room of the
MSC Monday.
The film, which is distributed
by Shell Oil Company, traced the

earliest uses to the role it plays
in our modern day industries. The
gear was used to illustrate the
principle of the lever and to dem
onstrate many of its uses in our
“machine age.”

Over 1,300 Attend Annual
Firefighters' Session
The largest Fireman’s Training School in the 27-year
history of the course will come to a close tomorrow afternoon
when 1,386 firemen from all over the state and surrounding
states leave the campus for home.

combating all types of industrial and residential fires this
years attendants listened to over 160 instructors drawn from
all over the United States lecture on subjects varying from
basic hose operation to photography.
" ♦ Col. H. R. Brayton of the

school is Henry D. Smith, of the
Engineering Extension Service.

a general basic course; advanced
