Because of the wealth of inform- . • on being made available by the nd pellite transmitting pictures from f or ne 450 miles in space. Dr. A. H. le ompson, associate professor of hj. teorology, is heading up a $28,- id ) research project for the Air 1 > rce’s Office of Aerospace Re- irch.

TEXAS especially true of the Gulf of Mexico. Now the A&M researchers can take a regional view — an area stretching from Louisiana to Mexi co’s Yucatan peninsula and north west to New Mexico — as they study hundx-eds of photos. They are interested in learning more about (1) vertical motions and related cloud patterns, (2) Gulf storm and hurricane develop ment, (3) Gulf fog and stratus clouds along the Texas-Louisiana coast. It is the task of the research meteorologists to correlate all this new visual information with the weather data that is on record from other ground observations. “We are looking for interesting weather situations, but not nec essarily uncommon ones,” Dr. Thompson says. Pointing to an en largement of a 35 mm photo graph, he said, “We look for a particular cloud pattern and ask ourselves: why is it there? why is it lined up as it is? what does it tell us about what will happen?” In other words, meteorologists do not yet completely know what TIROS is showing them. By relat ing the TIROS view of the wea ther to what is actually observed from the ground, more knowledge of weather phenonmena is being recorded for future use. This takes months of patient stu dy, but the over-all goal is to uti lize this better way of observing the weather as an aid to forecast ing the weather, especially new storm developments. Related aspects are examined by Thompson’s four assistants in the project. Walter K. Henry, assistant pro fessor of meteorology, is utilizing the TIROS materials in his re search on the dew-point front that is part of the regional weather picture in Texas. The dew-point front is the often sharp line that exists between the dry air of west Texas and the moist air of cen tral and east Texas. S. J. Hall, instructor in meteoro logy is working on a study related to identification of the jet-stream — high altitude winds — that may be visible in TIROS photos. Graduate students, Darryl Ran- derson and John Hansen are work ing on a similar project. They are studying cloud developments as a weaker storm front moves through coastal Gulf states. House Okays Padre Island National Park WASHINGTON (A>)-_The House Interior Committee appi’oved yes terday a bill to authorize estab lishment of a national seashore recreational area on Padre Island off Texas. The measure calls for an 81- mile-long park on the 117-mile narrow island which skirts the coast between Corpus Christi and Port Isabel. The House committee bill repre sents a compromise in relation to a measure already passed by the Senate authorizing an 88-mile long park. As introduced by Reps. Joe Kil gore and John Young, the proposal called for a 65-mile-long seashore area to be administered by the National Park. Service. The north end of the seashore area would include Bird Island, a few miles sonth of Corpus Christi. The south end would extend to the Willacy-Cameron County line. i oi RESERVE DISTRICT NO. 11 STATE NO. 1754 COLLEGE STATION STATE BANK of College Station, Texas at the close of business June 30, 1962, a state banking institution organized and operating under the banking laws of this State and a member of the Federal Reserve System.

HENRY AND DARRYL RANDERSON . . . analyzing TIROS weather data Screwworm Loss May Hurt Farms Practically all Texans have heard about the merits of the screw- worm eradication program; how elimination of the pest will aid ranchers. Less known is the effect the eradiction program will have upon the balance of nature. Dr. W. B. Davis, head of the De partment of Wildlife Management feels other species of wildlife will increase in numbers as well. A population boom is very likely to take place among many other wildlife species that have become adjusted to heavy losses. Davis said the population in crease with all animals will be more evident in about two years, with the fly supposedly a thing of the past. Any population spurt among game animals must be controlled. .For a Fuller Life..The Church.For You..

It is a storehouse of spiritual values. With out a strong Church, neither de mocracy nor civilization can sur vive. There are four sound reasons whjr 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 com munity and nation. (4) For the sake of the Church itself, which needs his moral and material sup port. Plan to go to church regu larly and read your Bible daily. It was in May, several years ago that Mildred moved next door. That was a break for Eric. It is so easy to get acquainted with one’s neighbors. The first date naturally called for careful strategy. You don’t want to seem too eager — but you want to know what she likes . . . and what she’s like. Eric’s and Mildred’s first date was a Youth Fellowship supper at the church. Eric happens to be a leader of this group. And Mildred happens to be an earnest Christian girl. Of course, happens is a very broad word. It means that Eric’s and Mildred’s parents had once decided that a son or a daughter ought to be given the advantage of religious training. Now Eric and Mildred are engaged. And everybody says they were meant for each other. And the altar before which they take their vows will be the heart of the religious life of their family. Thus it happens! ■Sunday Genesis ■24:15-27 Wednesday Mark 10:2-9 Monday Genesis 24:61-67 Thursday Hosea 2:14-20 Tuesday Ruth 4:13-17 i- nday I Peter 3:1-7 Saturday Corinthian The Exchange Store ‘Serving Texas Aggies’ Bryan Building & Loan Association BRYAN ^^unercii -J'Jo BRYAN, TEXAS 502 West 26th St. PHONE TA 2-1572 Campus and Circle Theatres College Station College Station’s Own Banking Service College Station State Bank NORTH GATE Central Texas Hardware Co.
