Hif of being able to look at the

ivl rn more about the weather,
v. Today, A&M research meteoro-
ofi’ists are doing’ just that, thanks

, e f n Satellites.
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

irch.

eiver. Long strips of 35 mm
n record the images on the TV
een. These ai’e what Thompson
Reives to analyze for weather
■•'enomena.
Using photo data from the “far-
: weather eye,” Thompson and
li colleagues are making a three-
__ase study of the weather clouds

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.

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.

THE CHURCH FOR ALT. . . ♦
ALL FOR THE CHURCH
Tke Church is the greatest factor
on earlh for the building of char
acter and good citizenship. 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!
