TRAIN PICTURE 60 YEARS OLD Youth’s Camera Interest Produce Railroad Picture DENISON, Tex. (Spl)—That picture of a train, its brilliant headlight beaming, is on the wall of the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Hos pital here because Montgomery Middleton got interested in cam eras 60-odd years ago. Middleton, better known as Gum, was living in Waxahachie, where his father published a weekly pa per, when he decided he wanted a camera. That was in about 1000 and Gum was 12. Gum decided to bypass all the dealers and write to the people who made the product. That’s how Eastman Kodak got this let ter: “Gentlemen, I am the son of a Nance To Head Faculty-Staff Club Committee Dr. Joseph M. Nance will head the A&M Faculty-Staff Dinner Club committee for 1961-62. He is also head of the Depart ment of History and Government. He will-be assisted by Willard P. Worley, co-chairman, and Dr. A. G. Caldwell, treasurer. The group’s first dinner-dance of the year will be held at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 28 in the Memorial Student Center ballroom. Other membei’s of the committee are Mrs. Garland E. Bayliss, Dr. IT. R. Crookshank, Prof. W. E. Eckles, Prof. K. E. Elmquist, Mrs. Anne Keel, Mrs. Russell Kohel, Mrs. Charles Richardson, Dr. L. R. Richardson, ' Maj. Benjamin F. Smith and Don Young. “We are looking forward to an other successful club year,” Nance said. man who prints the weekly Waxa hachie Mirror and I, work in the print shop. I am interested in making pictures but as you know it is hard to buy a camera unless you have money. I will tell you what I will do, though, 1 will run some advertising for your firm in the Mirror if you will send me a cam era. Your truly, Montgomery Middleton.” Shortly, a big camera with all the accessories arrived. With it a long advertising contract from Eastman. Since that day, Gum Middleton has been devoted to the blending of graphic and photographic arts. One of his earliest and best pic tures was of that train, usually driven by the late Eugene Hoskins, who was known as the “Whistle Artist v all along ,the Katy line through Waxahachie, Denison and to St. Louis. Agriculture Dean Patterson Attends NSF Conference Dr. R. E. Patterson, dean of the School of Agriculture, is in Wash ington, D. C., this week attending a National Science Foundation con ference. Patterson is one of 30 admin istrators and scientists selected from major U.S. colleges and uni versities to talk with NSF during the final stages of development of the new programs. The dean and other conference members will discuss new NSF programs of support for science instructional equipment included in the foundation’s 1962 budget. One day Gum shot some pictures of the old Katy Flyer rounding the bend. In his workshop he made a fancy frame for the en largement, and designed a little light for the headlight. Railroaders, especially those who worked for the Katy, fell for the picture. That’s how it got to the rairoad hospital. But Gum for good measure made a replica for his own desk. Middleton is now a member of the brother team that operates the Middleton Printing Co. Gum and his brother, Marcellus, have won national awards for the excellence of their products. Engineering Safety Course Number Changed To ‘409’ The Department of Nuclear En gineering has announced that the course listed in the present college bulletin as Nuclear Engineering 609, “Radiological Safety,” will be offered this semester as Nuclear Engineering 409. This course is still approved for graduate credit but has reportedly undergone some simplification to make it available to a larger group of students. The course consists of lectures and demonstrations concerning the interaction of radiations with matter and especially with biologi cal systems. Special emphasis is given the theory and practice of radiation detection and shielding as applied to radiation protection. > The biological and physical basis for radiation safety standards are also discussed.
