This is the 56th nationwide seal
campaign, according to Mrs. W. E.
McCune, general Seal Campaign
Chairman in Brazos County.
‘‘Due to the number of new cases
of TB in the county, this year’s
goal is a little higher than was
raised last year by the local TB
Association,” Mrs. McCune said.
She also pointed out that more
funds would be needed to take
care of the increased postal rate
this next year.
Eighty-one and one half per cent
of the proceeds from the local
campaign will be spent in Brazos
Coupty, with the remainder going
for research and education on both
state and national levels.
Still an important part of the
program, eradication of tuberculo
sis through public education was
the original plan of the TB Associ-
tion when it was organized 56
years ago.

PURCHASER LITTON ON JOB
.. . with secretary, Mrs. Merle Simms
TOTAL OVER $9 MILLION
Purchases Reflect Scope 1
Of A&M Fiscal Activities
One of the best places to gain
an insight into the scope of A&M
fiscal activities is at the desk of
G. W. Litton, the college purchas
ing agent.
Purchases totaling between $9
and $10 million annually arj re
flected in the paperwork which
crosses Litton’s desk. It is diffi
cult to determine the amount which
goes to merchants of this imme
diate area, but Litton says it is
a sizable figure.
Purchase vouchers on Litton’s
desk on a typical working day
show such items as library books,
building supplies, a major piece of
chemical research equipment and
maintenance supplies “in the
works.” Vouchers for materials
and services paid for from state
funds are processed and forwarded
to Austin for action by the State
Board of Control.
Dining hall supplies and many
other items purchased with other
than state funds are bought on a
bid basis locally and the paper
work follows a slightly different
pattern.
LITTON SIGNS approximately
800 papers daily in processing pa
perwork involved in pui'chases.’
“They won’t let me use a rub
ber stamp,” he said ruefully.
Litton and the three women who
work with him also answer a flood
of telephone calls daily, answering
questions from departmental sec
retaries and others about purchas
ing . details.
A new instruction book to help
in the purchasing process is in
“the early planning stages.” Lit
ton said “this will clarify a lot of
matters.”
Data Processing Center facilities
are used to simplify purchasing
procedure paperwork. This also

assures greater accuracy, Litton
said.
PURCHASING PROCEDURES
are handled by Litton with the
assistance of Mrs. Merle Simms,
clerk-typist; Mrs. Mary A. Slagle,
a stenographer; and Mrs. Evelyn
Tumlinson, clerk-typist.
Their responsibilities include
keeping purchases charged against
375 accounts.
“Most of the consumable items”
purchased With state funds are se
cured under contract, while equip
ment is secured otherwise.
Supply Center and Buildings
and Utilities maintain large in
ventories. They can fill small or
ders through interdepartmental
procedures, helping to reduce the
number of orders placed outside.
B&U or the Supply Center, in turn,
places large volume orders and
are in effect semi-centralized pur
chasers. Instead of one depart
ment ordering 24 pencils from a
company, for example, they are
obtained from the Supply Center,
which keeps a large supply of pen
cils. This results in large orders,
the kind manufacturers like to re
ceive, Litton pointed out.
