Wives Council
Works Toward
Polio Program
Members of the Aggies
Wives Council have contacted
the local chapter of the Amer
ican Medical Association in
connection with trying to set
up mass polio inoculation of Aggie
Wives.
A committee has been set up by
the local chapter of the AMA to
study the possibilities of making
the serum available at cost to Ag
gies and their wives, but so far
the committee has not made a re
port.
Several doctors have volunteer
ed their support and will be re
sponsible for administering the
shots if the program gets the go-
ahead signal from the AMA.
The Wives Council will meet at
the home of Mrs. Robert Kamm

FSA Designs
Added Benefits
For Faculty
Former Student Association
President Louis Bloodworth
told the local AAUP chapter
of a new financial program
that could lead to increased
benefits for faculty members.
Called the A&M College Foun
dation, the fund is set aside from
the college and the FSA. Al
though the fund will help in the
scholarship program, principal is
being built so the fund can con
tribute, from the interest, to en
dowed chairs and professorships.
Bloodworth said he realized that
faculty members could easily be
come discouraged when they saw
a student began employment at a
salary it took them years to at
tain. “You must be dedicated
people or you wouldn’t be doing
this,” he said.
As another aim of the FSA,
Bloodworth said they hoped to in
crease the number of $1,000 Fac
ulty Achievement Awards that are
given annually.
