The sizable program for training officers and noncoms in English, so they could come to U.S. Air Force schools, has attracted considerable attention among those interested in teaching English to persons in other lands. THIS TYPE of service was not new to Comfort. In 1958-60 he headed the U. S. Information Serv ice-Aid Mission language program Texas Peach Growers Told They Must Expand Production Texas peach growers were ad- rised here Tuesday to expand pro duction to meet the rising demand or out-of-state imports will meet it for them. The advice came from J. F. Ros- borough of Marshall, who spent 35 years as a Texas Agricultural Ex- ;ension Service horticulturist and is now a commercial peach pro- sducer. I SPEAKING AT the 11th annual Ipeach and Plum Growers Confer ence at A&M University, Ros- wrough said the state is not grow- ng enough peaches to supply de- nand. The crop now ranges from a half-million to one million bush els per year. “Even when production is at a million bushels, Texas still im- L Flying Kadets Plan Fall Pilot’s Class The Flying Kadets held their first meeting of the semester in the Memorial Student Center Mon day evening. | Starting with next weeks’ meet ing at 7:30 p.m., Room 2C in the MSG, the club will commence ground school instruction in pre- aration for the written private pilots exam. f Membership in the club costs $7.50 for flying student, and $5 for non-flying members. ports more than 100 cars of peach es into the Dallas and Houston areas,” he said. The horticulturist pointed out that the average grower can boost his peach output rate by about 10 per cent a year. But such expan sion should be accompanied by use of new varieties to suit new de mands and changing conditions, he said. HE EMPHASIZED that if grow ers go into large scale production, with 4,000 to 6,000 acres, then they must also modernize' like the farmers in the southeast U. S. This involves such improvements as hydra-cooling and refrigerated shipments. “In the next few years,” Ros- borough said, “I look for about three big commercial orchards to start up in Texas.” THE SPEAKER added that there will still be a place for small producers around small towns and cities who specialize in tree-ripen ed fruit. And there will be a place for growers who supply the road side stands. Rosborough said that when over production problems do come up in Texas, the trouble can usually be traced to faculty distribution. The answer is for growers to learn more about distribution to avoid local congestion, he continued.

Turkey’s economy should be spurred by admittance to the Com mon Market, although Turkey now has only agricultural products for export, he said. The nation is a member of NA TO, and the Turks hated the Rus sians long before the Communists came to power. Comfort’s work with the Turkish Air Force and flights on civilian airliners con vinced him that the Turks make fine pilots. THE LANGUAGE SCHOOL was housed in a seaplane hangar which was built, ironically, by the Ger mans during World War I. Now the school is being moved into beautiful new facilities equal to any in the world, he said. Turkish officers and Americans served as instructors in the inten sive English program. “Graduates had to attain 60 per cent proficiency in the English language as demonstrated on ex aminations before we would send them to the United States,” the professor said. “WHEN WE were preparing to leave in late summer,” Comfort said, “we sold our refrigerator to another American family. We lived on the sixth floor of an apartment building and they lived on the fifth floor of an apartment building about 100 yards away.” “I told a Turk we would need at least two men to move the refrigerator. But only one man, and he was 63 years old, appeared. “This man picked up the refri gerator, carried it down the stairs and then 100 yards and up to the fifth floor of the other building. He hardly worked up a sweat,” Comfort said. Naval Reserve To Publicize Security Group Members of the Naval Reserve Security Group will wear their uni forms to class Monday in order to publicize the Naval Reserve and the Reserve Officer’s Candidate program. The ROC program is one where students may receive a commission in the Naval Reserve, after gradu ation from college. A member of the ROC program spends two sum mers in officer training at Bain- bridge, Md. Lt. Garland E. Bayliss, com manding officer, said that he is now taking applications for the ROC program, and would like to meet with all interested students in Room 302 of Nagle Hall, Oct. 14, at 7:30 p.m. Does a man really take unfair advantage of women when he uses Mennen Skin Bracer? All depends on why he uses it. Most men simply think Menthol-Iced Skin Bracer is the best after-shave lotion around. Because it cools rather than burns. Because it helps heal shaving nicks and scrapes. Because it helps prevent blemishes. So who can blame them if Bracer’s crisp, long-lasting aroma just happens to affect women so remarkably? Of course, some men may use Mennen Skin Bracer because of this effect. ^ How intelligent! j A&M Pair Invited THE Wednesday, October 2, 1963 BATTALION College Station, Texas Page 3 ALLEN ACADEMY To NASA Meeting Two A&M University repre sentatives will be among the in vited guests in Houston Thurs day and Friday when the Na tional Aeronautics and Space Administration presents a com prehensive survey of Project Mercury findings.
