Study Completed
On TV Practices
’““How much time do our stu
dents spend watching television—
what effect, if any, does this have
on home study—what television
shows do children prefer—what
are some of the problems of home
study ? ”
HI These questions have been placed
before Dr. Paul Hensarling, head
of the Department of Education
and Psychology, by Cecil Nabors,
principal of the Crockett elemen
tary school in Bryan.
I Hensarling sent out question
naires on the subjects and the an
swers were printed in the Septem
ber issue of the Texas Parent-

C’mon, Rich! You’re rationaliz
ing. Jockey support 1 might never
have secured you against the
Emperor 2 . But it certainly would
have provided snug protection
against the physical stresses and
strains of your active life. Your
armorer never tailored a coat of
mail more knowingly than Jockey
tailors a brief —from 13 separate,
body-conforming pieces.
1. Other "imitation” briefs (copies of the
original Jockey brand) have no more
Jockey support than a limp loin cloth.
2. Richard the Lion-Hearted, 1157-99,
surrendered England and a huge ransom
to secure his release from Henry VI.

Teacher magazine. The article by
Hensarling was titled “Make Mine
Local.’’
The returns show that television
shows which the children prefer
and those their parents prefer that
they see and hear are completely
different.
About half of the parents select
or restrict the types of television
shows their children see and hear;
85 per cent of the parents require
a priority for homewoi’k before
television, radio or other enter
tainment is allowed.
Some said a requirement is not
necessary and the children place
the prioi’ity themselves without
any rules by parents; 24 per cent
of the parents have “trouble” get
ting their children to do home
study; 96 per cent of the parents
help their children with their home
work.
Requirements of a certain
amount of “time” for home study
is equally divided, Hensarling’s
article points out. An hour is the
usual amount of time; however,
20 per cent require more than an
hour—and 25 per cent require less
than an hour.

Bryan Air Reserve Squadron
Made 9412th Recovery Unit
The Air Force reserve squadron
at Bryan has been designated as
the 9412th Air Force Reserve Re
covery Squadron under the com
mand of Lt. Col. W. O. (Bill) Dav
is, Information Officer Lt. TJ. L.
Meredith has announced.
The mission of the recovery unit
will be to provide recovery assist
ance for the Air Force in the
event of attack. The primary pur
pose of the 9412th is to provide
safe landing sites for military air
craft in the event of destruction
of major military airfields in the
central Texas area.
Military planners anticipate that
many US Air Force bases may be
damaged or destroyed in event of
attack to the extent that some
aircraft returning from combat
missions may be unable to land at
their home stations or pre-planned
alternate fields.
Under the new Air Reserve Re
covery program, the 9412th would
provide emergency landing facili
ties and sites for continued opera
tions. Recovery units at emergen
cy sites would furnish communi
cations, crash and rescue service,
refueling, transportation, medical
care, food service, emergency
maintenance, billeting and a se
curity force.
The recovery unit has manning
positions in personnel, administra
tion, operations, weather, aircraft
maintenance, civil engineering,
fire protection, supply, air police,
medical and radio operators and
repairmen.
The unit is one of 200 recovery
squadrons located at various
points in the US which in the
event of an emergency would be
come operational at the site of lo
cation. The unit is authorized 24
pay periods in addition to a 15
day active duty tour each year.
ARCHiE SAYS:
My cousin Archie —he thought the electric razor his gal gave
him last Christmas was o.k. Then he tried Old Spice Pro-Electric,
the before shave lotion. Now the guy won't stop talking, he
thinks electric shaving'Is so great.
ARCHIE SAYS Pro-Electric improves electric shaving even more
than lather improves blade shaving. ARCHIE SAYS Pro-Electric
sets up your beard by drying perspiration and whisker oils so
you shave blade-close without irritation. ARCHIE SAYS Pro-
Electric gives you the closest, cleanest, fastest shave.
If Archie ever stops talking. I'll tell him / use Old Spice Pro-
Electric myself.
P. s.
There’s a .60 size but
Archie gets the 1.00 bottle.
(He always was a sport).
