But it’s incompatible with my mil itary career at this time and I’m not contemplating it.” FOR AGGIES & AGGIE WIVES First Baptist - College / Heat the whole house r } . j • llexiriirini Impel-aire GAS AREA HEATERS WITH NEW / — ' ’-\ * ,w HEATING This latest feature of the famed Dearborn Crest really moves a tremendous volume of warm air fast.
