W. Rupel, Sale Chairman. “Sticking name labels on envel opes is just one of the many steps in the preparation of the letters to be mailed on Nov. 16 to Brazos County residents when the 1959 sale opens,” Mi's. Rupel said. Workei-s on Monday included Mrs. G. E. Madeley, Mrs. Mary E. Parker, Mrs. I. N. Kelley, Mrs. R. A. Eads, Mrs Fred Jones, Mrs. W. C. Andres, Mrs. R. C. Potts and Mrs. W. I. Glass.

Johnson closed the informal session by complimenting A&M for the fine and outstanding leaders the college has produced and con tinues to produce each year. / The Senator broke into a broad smile and commented, “My only re gret toward A&M College is that I never had the opportunity to be a Texas Aggie.” El Paso Inmate Named Prison Rodeo Champion Champion inmate rider of the 28th annual Texas Prison Rodeo is Vernon Abbott, serving 10 years from El Paso, who came through four performances of the event with a total of $296.75 in prize money.
