Buchanan Junior College Workshop Speaker EngUite-iiiig graphics is a vital cogwheel in the engineering ad vancement pacing the progress in the years to come, a Junior Col lege Workshop conference was told Friday. The speaker, Prof. Spencer J. Buchanan, graduate professor of the Department of Civil Engineer ing, said at the banquet Friday night that “the importance of this conference and its influence on the educational preparation of young Texans is very significant — for the ever increasing technical na ture of business today imposes a terrific burden upon educators to prepare young Americans for the problems of tomorrow.” The Workshop, Sept. 9-10, was attended by more than 59 junior college and high school teachers. It was designed to provide an op portunity for discussion of the problems of teaching engineering drawing. The sponsor was the Department of Engineering Graph ics, headed by Dr. W. S. Street. Communication Vital “Communication of ideas is a vital factor in the measure of progress in our nation,” the speak er said. He pointed out that “it has often been said that a sketch is the equivalent of a thousand | Night Classes In Graphics This Fall Classes in engineering graphics j will be held evenings during the [fall semester, Dr. W.

Main TA 2-6000 Cold Prevention Methods Listed The common cold continues to be the largest single factor con tributing to the 20.8 days per school year the average Texas stu dent is absent from school, accord ing to a study by Schering Corp., a leading pharmaceutical company. Using statistics of past absences from the U. S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare,- and the National Education Assn., the study reveals that Texas ranks 32nd from the top in number of days missed per pupil. The best attendance record for last school year was set by the new state of Hawaii, with an average of only 10.5 days missed. Nebraska was second best with an average of 11.2. The national average of school absences was 20.1. Figures just released by the U. S. Office of Education set the 1960-61 elementary and high school enrollment alone at 44,- 670,000. This is an increase of 1,700,000 over the past year and marks the 16th consecutive year of increased enrollment. Based on these figures, total school days lost throughout the country for all reasons will hit an all-time high of 898 million days. Medical surveys indicate that children of elementary school age have five times as many colds as do adults. The first onslaught of colds strikes the schools almost as soon as students re-assemble for the new year. One contributing factor to this, according to research sci entists, is- that spread of colds like other virus-caused infections is accelerated by the mixing of populations. In fixed stable groups which are not exposed to strangers cold-like infections tend to die out, and do not reappear until there is contact outside the group. The best defense against the common cold is prevention. Warm clothing should be worn, and good diets planned. Whenever possible avoid contact with a person suf fering from a cold. Medicines, of course, are im portant. A recent survey by a WELCOME ALL FRESHMAN AND UPPERCLASSMEN BACK TO SCHOOL JONES PHARMACY drug industry publication revealed that only one out of eight home medicine cabinets is fully equipped with products needed in common types of health situations arising in the home, such as the cold. The list of 11 “basic” supplies rec ommended includes: gargle, anti histamine (such as Coricidin), cot ton swabs, stomach settler, laxa tive, cough syrup, eye drops, de congestant, fever thermometer, bandages and an analgesic. words in conveying ideas. For sketches to be effective they must be properly prepared—to convey information clearly rather than in a confused manner.” Prof. Buchanan said that sketch es lead to plans—and plans are one of the “vital tools used by the en gineer in conveying ideas to con structors whether they be radio, heavy construction crews building highways, refinery engineers build ing industrial plants or building engineers designing skyscrapers of tomorrow. Convey First Impression “You gentlemen,” he declared, “convey first impressions to young sters progressing fast through high schools, the junior colleges and then advancing to the colleges and universities. You can pave the way for the ready grasp of the proper techniques in engineering graphics so that these youngsters will be enthused by this knowl edge rather than depressed.” The speaker said “all too often • .

The same exactness goes into the construction of a pipe organ. But the men who make pipe organs, like all others who build, have a feeling for the USE of their product. An organ will lead hundreds in their worship of God. It will support a talented choir in the rendition of a sacred cantata. Or it will blend with a host of untrained voices to raise a stirring hymn to God. It will sing softly while Christians commune, or thunder majestically a great re cessional. And yet this valuable organ whose creation requires such skill and precision is secondary in the life of the Church. It is simply an instrument, like this weekly advertisement, to help the Chhrch fulfill its Mission. That Mission is to lead you, and your family, and your world, to the Lord. When the organ calls men to worship — be there! Copyright I960, Keister Adi'. Sen ice, Strasburg, Vo. 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 civiliza tion can survive. There are four sound reasons why every person should at tend services regularly and support the Church. They are: (1) 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 church regularly and read your Bible daily.
