V > PAGE 6 Thursday, February 19, 1959 The Battalion College Station (Brazos County), Toras ! The City Beat By Johnny Johnson College Station property owners indicated quite decisively how they want to improve their streets in the special bond election Tuesday. This vote should end the squab bling - that has been going on with in the city for the past several months as to how to fix the streets and should leave only one problem —FIXING THEM and doing it now. Under the city’s plan, paving cannot begin until property own ers along the street have present ed a petition to the City Coun cil asking for the work. Now it remains for the citizens who were active on both sides of the election issue to combine their efforts towards getting such petitions circulating and signed as soon as pssible. And now is the time to do it, while the question is still fresh in the minds of the citizens. The city has allocated $45,000 per year in its budget for its one- third of the cost of such improve ments. With the .share of the property owners, that totals $135,- Feed Control Chief To Retire Feb. 28 F. D. Brock, chief of the Feed Control Service of the Texas Agri cultural Experiment Station from 1943-57, is retiring Feb. 28. During Brock’s period of service major changes have occurred in the feed manufacturing industry, especially in the mixing of for mula feeds. He worked closely with members of the industry since a major concern of the Serv ice is to see that the bag .of feed offered for sale contains the in gredients and in the amounts shown on the tag attached to the bag. Prior to employment with the Feed Control Service, he was in the drug business, employed as inspector and supervisor and di rector of the Bureau of Food and Drugs, State Health Department. He is a member of the Texas Pharmaceutical Assn., Texas Aca demy of Science, Association of American Feed Control Officials and the Southern Association of Food, Drug and Feed Officials. He served twice as president of the Southern Association. Mr. and Mrs. Brock will contin ue to make their home at 501 Helena St. in Bryan, and will serve as a consultant to several manufacturers of pet food. 000 to be spent each fiscal year. So far this fiscal year, which began July 1, only $7,900 has been spent on street repair and that was for sealcoating. City Manager Ran Boswell said most of that amount was from a surplus in the street repair fund. That leaves almost the full $45,000 for this fiscal year still to be spent and only five months remain in the year to use the money. Many streets can be repaired with this sum especially when ap proximately three miles of streets with curbs and gutters, if that type is used exclusively, or 11 miles of streets without curbs,and gutters, can be built for $135,000, according to Council estimates. Both sides promised fast action if their group won in the bond election. Now it remains to be seen how fast the street work will begin. But the necessary impetus for the street woi-k must come from property-owners. If they don’t provide the stimulation, College Station will face another year of no improvement on the street sit uation. It's squarely up to the citizens. Cornell Professor Slates A&M Visit Dr. Clive M. McCay, professor of nutrition at Cornell University and former A&M chemistry professor, will be guest speaker before the joint A&M-Baylor Chemical Soci ety Monday evening. The meeting will be held at 7:45 p.m. in Room 231 of the new wing of the Chemistry Building. Oceanographer Heads Program Dr. Richard G.

Bader, associate professor of the Department of Oceanography, is leading the pi'oject that is trying to predict what effect the deposits of radioactive wmste in the ocean will have on the coastal regions of land and what the distribution of these waste materials will be once they are picked up by the ocean currents. Physicist Wins Distinguished Service Award James G. Potter, head of the Department of Physics, has been awarded the Distinguished Serv ice Citation of the American As^ socition of Physics Teachers. Potter was cited by Dr. C. J. Overbeck, president of the AAPT and head of the Physics Depart ment at Noi’thwestern University, for his “demonstrated interest in the advancement of his profession in areas beyond his own labora tory.” At the recent annual meeting of the AAPT in New York, which attracted more than 3,500 leading physicists and physics teachers from all parts of the country, Potter delivered a report on sum mer institutes for high school teachers. The citation referred to Potter’s “active professional career of teaching, research and adminis tration,” and cited his contribu tions to “the advancement of the teaching of physics and the furth erance of appi’eciation of the role of physics in our culture. “In recognition of the import ance of pre-college physics teach ing, he has participated in up grading the secondary school work through direct contact with the students and their physics teachers,” the citation said. The citation also recalled that Potter had served on many com mittees of the AAPT and had helped form its Texas section.
