Move By MPA

In Journalism
In a move to bring top pro
fessional assistance to schools
of journalism from editorial
departments of the nation’s
magazines, Wade H. Nichols,
chairman of the Magazine Publish
ers Association’s Editorial Com
mittee, recently announced that
organization’s affiliation with the
American Council of Education for
Journalism.
The Council is a working team
of educators and representatives of
the mass communications in
dustries. Its objectives are to in
terest promising young men and
women of high school age in college
journalism studies, to ensure that
courses offered are adequate and
practical, and to encourage grad
uates to seek employment in the
magazine, newspaper, radio and
television fields.
Nichols, who is editor and pub
lisher of Redbook, named David
Botter,- assistant managing editor
of Look, as MPA representative on
the Council. Theodore Weeks,
editor of The Atlantic Monthly,
will be MPA member of the Coun
cil’s Committee on Accreditation.
The Council, until now, has been
composed of representatives of five
newspaper ' associations, the Na
tional Association of Radio and
Television Broadcasters, and three
journalism school associations. It
is administered through the De
partment of Journalism at Indiana
University, Bloomington, Ind.
Forty-five journalism schools ac
credited by the Council include
A&M’s Department of Journalism.

participant which provides the food,
use of certain equipment and the
cost of building the Jamboree
camp. Transportation, leadership,
pre-jamboree training and pre
paration, and sightseeing enroute
are all included in a fee of $300.

the Jamboree. It will have its own
water, electric power, and telephone
systems, post offices, fire depart
ment, medical facilities, an amphi
theatre seating 55,000 persons, and
five trading posts.
The citizens of America’s newest,
youngest, and busiest community
will be Scouts, Explorers, and
leaders from all walks of life. All
races and creeds will be represent
ed as they exchange skills, swap
home town products, and learn
about customs and traditions of
many sections of the nation.
The local contingent will com
prise 11 Jamboree troops, each with
32 Scouts or Explorers, a senior-
patrol leader or a senior crew

Industry Topic
Of Research
By Professor
.The length of time it takes
a newly establislied manufac
turing plant in Texas to show
a profit, is one of the many
questions that Dr. Lewis E.
Davids hopes to answer through
appraisal of data he gains in in
dustrial economics research this
summer at the Texas Engineer
ing Experiment Station (a part
of the A&M System),
His research will involve in
dustrial ventures in the post-Kor
ean War era (1953 to the present).
He will study the statistics of in
dustrial failures of the period and
survey by questionnaire and per
sonal interview the small present
ly active manufacturing plants on
various aspects of their financing.
Conclusions to be determined
in the research, along with vari
ous findings, will be published as
a report for the guidance of ven
turing enterprise and community
industrial development leaders.
The researcher is a professor
of finance at A&M during the
regular semesters. He has served
as an economist in finance in gov
ernment and business and is pres
ently a member of the National

AES Loses
Ag Specialist.
To Industry
Kermit F. Schlamb, poultry
marketing specialist for the
Texas Agricultural Extension
Service since September 1953,
resigned on June 21.
Schlamb is moving to Kansas
City to become educational direct
or for the Gordon Johnson Com
pany, a leading manufacturer of
poultry processing equipment.
The former staff member is a
native of Virginia. A graduate
of VPI and Ohio State University.
Before coming to Texas he was
employed by North Dakota Agri
cultural College as an assistant
professor in the Department of
Poultry Husbandry doing teaching
and research work.
He served in the U. S. Army
from 1943-40 as a paratrooper in
the O.S.S. and saw service in the
South Pacific and China. He re
turned to the service during the
period 1950-52 but did not go
overseas.
In Texas, Schlamb has worked
with the overall poultry market
ing program of the Extension Ser
vice. He authored many articles
on poultry marketing for leading
farm and poultry magazines and
served as a member of many state
committees working to improve
the state’s poultry industry.
Both he and Mrs. Schlamb were
active in the work of Our Sav
iour’s Lutheran Church. He as
superintendent of the Sunday
School and she as a member of the
Church Council.
Barton emerged winner in com
petition with a large number of
other candidates. He is a graduate
of the Divide Rural High School,
Nolan, Tex., where he compiled
an outstanding record in his
studies, in athletics and in FFA
agricultural work. He is not a
stranger to farming, having as
sisted his father since he was old
enough to make a “hand”.
Evidence of Barton’s success in
vocational agriculture is the be
ginning of a small herd of register
ed Hereford cattle and success in
local shows in feeding steers. He
will study agronomy in college and
is particularly interested in dever-
sified farming with emphasis on
cotton and livestock production.
The Western Compress and
Storage Co. has its main offices
at Abilene and has compresses and
cotton warehouses at Abilene,
Hamlin, Rule and Sweetwater. In
addition to helping its recipient
attend college, the purposes of the
scholarship are to stimulate in
terest in' the field of agronomy and
particularly in the production of
cotton and to help fill the need of
trained men in this field.
