The Battalion College Station (Brazon County), Texa* PAGE 6 Thursday, November 1, 1956 HALLOWEEN SIRENS—sent College Station’s Volunteer Firemen to the home of Charles R. Colbert at 600 Dexter St. where the summer inhabitants of the chimney (chimney sweeps) caused flames, soot and lots of smoke to boil out the chimney. No damage was done to the house by the fire, and all the neighbors and children had fun chasing the fire engines. Gonzales Foundation New Chest Member (Ed. Note: This is the fourth in a series of articles on the agencies requesting your help in the 1956 A&M College-College Station Com munity Chest-Red Cross Drive.) The Gonzales Warm Springs Foundation for Crippled Children is asking for $500 from this year’s drive to be used in their program of assisting crippled people in Tex as. This is the first year they have been included. Founded in 1937 by a group of Gonzales businessmen, the first facilities at the Foundation were opened in 1941. The warm spring- mentioned in the Foundations title flows from an old dry oil well drilled in 1909 on the site. Warm water at a constant tem perature of 106 degrees flows into the Foundation’s swimming pool and therapy pools. While the wa ter lacks any healing value, many treatment methods have been de veloped using the water. Last year over 360 patients were examined or treated by the Foun dation. The average daily number of patients was 77.4 and 73.7 per cent of the beds were in use each average day. Money donated to the Founda tion is used in providing additional personnel and extra equipment for treating diseases such as Polio myelitis, Cerebral Palsy, Multi pie Sclerosis, Muscular Dystrophy, Arthritis and any other such dis ease. Facilities at the Foundation are available to any patient who will benefit, from them, regardless of age, color, race, creed or finan cial standing. The Foundation Dimes and often treats cases sent work closely wit hthe March of by the larger group. Five Brazos County persons have been admitted to the Foundation since 1950 for a total of 488 treat ment days. They include Mrs. Martha Hall, Ken Hallaran, Steve Henton, Jean Matyear and Sam A. Tullous. Heat Expert Will Speak To ASHAE American Society of Heating and Ventilation Engineers will meet Nov. 13 at 7:30 p.m. in the Mechanical Engineering Building.

Girl Scouts Hear Civil Defense Talk Mrs. Grace Martin, State Coor dinator of Women’s Activities for Civil Defense spoke to senior Girl Scout Troop 5 of College Station recently, on the role of youth or ganizations in Civil Defense. “In a disaster, there are two kinds of people: those who need help and those who can give help,” Mi*s. Martin said. “Preparedness prevents panic and every Girl Scout can help themselves and their families in time of disaster through Civil Defense training.” Mrs. Martin pointed out that Texas has the highest rate of floods and tornados and the sec ond highest rate of hurricane dan ger in the United States. She dis tributed leaflets outlining meas ures to be taken in the event of a disaster. The troop practiced a short Civil Defense program which they will present before students of A&M Consolidated High School soon.
