A group of Bryan and College
Station women stuck to the job
Monday until every name was
stuck on the envelopes to be used
in the annual Christmas Seal Sale,
according to Mrs. I. 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.

Mrs. G. E. Madeley, Mrs. Mary E.

Mrs. W. I. Glass.

iary to the Brazos County Medical
Society sorted and counted the en
velopes as to keys for the records
and reports to be sent to the Texas
Tuberculosis Assn, at the end of
the sale.
Members who helped were Mrs.
R. B. Grant, Mrs. James T. Lindsay,
Mrs. Jack Marsh, Jr., Mrs. L. 0.
Wilkerson, Mrs. R. H. Benbow and
Mrs. J. F. Coopeil *. ? f
Women from Kurten finished
counting the envelopes on Wednes
day when they took over. These
volunteers weredVlrs, Donald King,
Mrs. Jesse Heinel and Mrs. Howard
Joham. A
“The success of the sale depends
on the work of these volunteers,”
Mrs. Rupel said. “It is a county
wide project in which helpers from
every community take part.”

(Continued from Page 1)
in A-Bomb production, nine months
to equal our H-Bomb and at the
present time, is far in advance of
our country in conquering space.
“The American people, as a
whole, must wake up to the fact
that the Soviet Union is far from
being complacent or satisfied with
their accomplishments,” added the
Senator. “We MUST mobilize our
best brains and our most highly
trained minds for the exploration
of outer space—a dimension that
will occupy the thinking of man
kind for several centuries.”
Sen. 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.”
