E. Kirby of College Station, a graduate assistant in the De partment of Agricultural Econom ics and Rural Sociology. After a week of consultations in Washington, D. C., the two A&M representatives will spend eight days in London to observe U. S. agricultural commodities on display at the London Food Fair. Then they will stay a week in Paris for conferences at the European head quarters of the International Cot ton Council. After three months in Italy eval uating the program, they will spend a week in Brussels conferring with personnel at the European Eco-.- nomic Commission headquarters concerning the European Common Market development. They will re turn to College Station late in December. Stelly was born in Southwest Louisiana. He received his B. S. degree in agriculture at Southwest ern Louisiana Institute, M. S. de gree in agricultural economics at Texas A&M and his doctorate at Louisiana State University. His experiences include employ ment as market analyst with Con verted Rice Inc., of Houston and as an agricultural economist with the United States International Co- Operation Administration in the Far East. Since joining the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station at A&M in 1956, Stelly has been lead er for research in dairy marketing economics. As part of the evaluation and to take advantage of opportunities for additional market research abroad in the interest of Texas agriculture, Director R. D. Lewis of the Texas Agricultural Experi ment Station has approved a com panion research project to which Stelly also will give leadership. " k Church.. For a Fuller Life. For You..

A string of diplomas and degrees does not make a man wise. Many of the wisesf; never had a formal education. For knowledge is the accumulation of facts. But wisdom is the ability to apply a few facts — per haps only one — to a life-situation. We know a distinguished scholar who has writ ten volumes on ecclesiastical architecture. And we know an elderly widow who told her grandchildren, “Churches ain’t made to look at!” And the scholar — earnest Christian that he is — humbly bows to the wisdom of the widow! For whether it be a cathedral or chapel, the Church cannot enrich our lives until reverently we enter its portals to worship and serve God. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. THE CHURCH FOR ALL . . . ALL FOR THE CHURCH The Church is the greatest factor on earth for the building of character and good citizenship. It is a storehouse of spiritual values. Without a strong Church, neither democracy nor civilization can survive. There are four sound reasons why every person should attend services regularly and support the Church. They are: (I) For his own sake. (2) For his children’s sake. (3) For the sake of his community and nation. (4) For the sake of the Church itself, which needs his moral and material support. Plan to go to churcn regularly and read your Bible daily.

Most Texas Poets Laureate are retiring persons and seldom heard from. Not 5 so in the case of the reigning chief poet, Van Chandler of Kingsville. It’s not only that Chandler fig ures the art of poetry is advanced by getting the word around that Texas has a poet Laureate. He frankly doesn’t * mind seeing his name in print. “Any writer who says he doesn’t get a thrill out of it just isn’t be ing honest,” Chandler says. Chandler is a good public speak er. He accepts invitations at the drop of a hat, and varies his speech according to whether he is speak ing to high schoolers, college stu dents, a service club or other writers. He has traveled thousands of miles carrying on the “business” of his office. He made a personal appearance at a Dallas banquet, on The area of Labrador, once con sidered and later disproved as a part of Greenland, is half a mil lion square miles. National Poetry Day as a guest of the Composers, Authors, Artists Guild at Houston, before the Legis lature in Austin, the Victoria Ki- wanis Club, and as far south as Harlingen. Busy as he is, Chandler keeps on writing poems. One recently won the Cinquain Contest of the Cali fornia Poets Haven. He has two books in print—“Night Alone” and “Petals Fall.” Chandler wouldn’t pretend to anyone that writing poetry makes him a living or finances his travels as Poet Laureate of Texas. He did well in dentistry and also acquired some rental property here. 3,600 Texans Attend School DALLAS—(AP) — Uncle Sam’s college loan service helped approxi mately 3,600 Texas students in the last school tei-m. Texans borrowed a million and three-quarter dollars in the 1959- 60 school period. The largest number of loans went to freshmen. “That is one of the best features of the program,” said Leonard Nystrom of Dallas. He is regional representative for higher education of the Department of Education.. “Most private loan plans through universities don’t offer help to freshmen because there is always j some doubt about whether they’ll continue their education,” Nystrom said. Nystrom said presumably all the 1,154 high school seniors receiving such loans in Texas would have had a difficult time getting enough money to attend college. “This is no give-away program,” Nystrom emphasized. “Students can borrow a maximum of $5,000 during their college careers and pay it back over a 10-year period beginning a year after completion of their studies. The low 3 per cent interest rate begins to accrue at the beginning of the repayment period.” To encourage more students to teach school, the program will cut up to 50 per cent the amount the students have to pay back if they teach as much as five years. High schopl June graduates can apply with the college they plan to attepd for the federal loans. Students- ivHh have a good chance to make a successful college career and who actually need the money are being encouraged £p participate in the program, 1 ” Nystrom ex plained. E. E. McQuillen, executive direc tor of the Development Fund, is in charge of the loans at A&M. McQuillen’s office is on the third floor of the YMCA and applica tions for the loans can be made there. -GROCERIES- SPRY Shortening 3-lbs. 59c Krafts—Roka Blue Cheese DRESSING Bottle 39c Krafts—Roka Blue Cheese DRESSING Bottle 39c With One Head Lettuce Free 300 Cans—Hunts Solid Pack Tomatoes 2 Cans 29c 14-Oz.

The grant was matched by A&M, a requirement of the recipient by the foundation. The only other school in Texas to receive a grant was Rice University in Houston. Spencer Buchanan, professor of soil mechanics and foundation en gineering in the Department of Civil Engineering, said he believes the laboratory will be the only one of its kind in the nation and will be a tremendous boost to engineer ing research activities at the college. He said the laboratory will pri marily be for doctoral and post doctoral candidates conducting soil mechanics research. The building will be air condi tioned and equipped with the most modern research tools developed to date. Facilities will include gyra tory compaction equipment, repeti tive loading triaxial shear testing equipment, temperature and hu midity control rooms for storage of undisturbed soil samples and individual office rooms.
