Extensio types Clas* rincipl* applfe Public relations and public serv ice were stressed by two featured speakers at a general session of the 47th Texas Water and Sew age Works Association’s Short j School Wednesday at A&M Uni versity. Robert S. Shaw, vice president of the Water Pollution Control Federation, Princeton, N.J., and Samuel S. Baxter, vice president of the American Water Works Association, Philadelphia, spoke to an estimated 600 men, extoll ing the virtues of their organiza tions and at the same time call ing for further emphasis on pub lic relations and service. “You know you’re good, but it’s about time somebody else knew about you, because you need the support of the public, the press and the mayor of your city,” Shaw commented. “People are yapping their heads off about polluted streams. You have to let them know you are doing something about them. Groups who operate in a barrel are not going to get far,” he con tinued. Shaw said New York and Cali fornia are scrambling for first place in the membership race of WCPF with approximately 800 members each. “Texas ought to be first. You have a live wire group and are going somewhere. I expect you to have 500 members by next year,” he added. Texas has 400 members now. Baxter challenged his audi ence to improve the water indus try to a point of public recogni tion comparable to telephone and electric companies. “You never hear those people urging the public to use less of their product. Telephone compa nies are always urging you to •call your grandmother in Cali fornia or add a phone in the kitchen or laundry room. And the electric companies are for ever urging use of bright lights and appliances,” he said. “In many cases we in the water industry tell people they can’t wash their cars in the summer, or they can’t water their lawn. A couple of years ago in New York City the restaurants didn’t serve water with meals unless customers specifically requested ii,” Baxter recalled. “We need to build facilities so the people can use all the water they want at any time. This in cludes storage capacities, reser voirs, pump stations, filter ca pacities, distribution mains, etc.,” he continue, adding “Service is j the thing that appeals to custom ers . . . when a customer calls and says the water pipe into his house has broken at 3 a.m. Sun day morning we ought to be right there right away to turn his wa ter off.” Baxter said the public must be made to realize the necessity for appropriating funds to make these improvements in water fa cilities. He urged joint action by many towns to make the whole industry advance in this respect. John J. Vandertulip, chief en gineer for the Texas Water Com mission, Austin, also was a speaker on the morning pro gram. Technical sessions were sched uled during the afternoon and the annual banquet was at 7 p.m. in the Memorial Student Center Ballroom. Presentation of the “1964 Honor Roll” by Dr. J. E. Peavy, commissioner of Health for the Texas State Department of Health, Austin, was a high light of the evening. Speaker for the banquet was Bob Murphey, an attorney-hum orist from Nacogdoches. The meeting will continue through Friday. New officers of the Texas Wa ter Pollution Control Association for 1965 were announced at a business dinner Tuesday night. They include Harry O. Henkel of DuPont Corp., Victoria, presi- ' dent; Jack E. Huppert, president of Consolidated Products, San An tonio, vice president, and M. T. Garrett, City of Houston, presi dent-elect. S. A. Garza is the immediate past president. The TWPCA is one of the co operating agencies of the short school. Prof Authored Article Carried By Magazine An article by Dr. Stanley B. Botner of the government faculty appears in the March-April issue of “Business and Government Re view” published by the Business and Public Administration Re search Center at the University of Missouri. The article entitled “Guberna torial Succession — Question in Several States” is concerned es pecially with Missouri’s guberna torial restrictions. Missouri and 14 other states forbid the governor nstructo to succeed himself after a four- year term. Botner received all three de grees from the Univeristy of Mis souri. He joined the Department of History and Government in 1963. In the article Botner describes Missouri’s restriction preventing a governor from succeeding himself as conflicting “with one of the most basic tenets of democratic theory.” The conflict is seen as stemming from the “lack of faith in the ability of the people of Mis souri to pass intelligently on the question of whether to retain a governor who has had an oppor tunity to make a record on which he can be appraised.” The professor reviews the vari ous trends in gubernatorial suc cession since the nation was found ed and concludes that “the argu ments in support (of a governor being permitted to succeed him self) seem to outweigh heavily those offered in opposition.” 6 Aggies Schedule Oklahoma Debates Six debaters will compete in the Southeastern State College Debate Tournament in Durant, Okla., on Friday and Saturday. They are all members of the new Texas Alpha Alpha chapter of Pi Kappa Delta, national hon orary debate fraternity. The chap ter will receive its charter next month during the national conven tion in Tacoma, Wash. Attending the debate tourna ment Friday and Saturday will be two three-man teams repre senting A&M. They will be ac companied by Carl Kell, debate coach and an instructor in speech and English. Firemen Plan Austin Meet Two representatives of the Fire men’s Training School will partici pate in the 10th annual Texas Arson Conference, March 9-12, in Austin. Henry D. Smith, chief of the Firemen’s Training School, and John Rauch, an instructor, will represent the Engineering Exten sion Service. Rauch will chair an afternoon session of the conference March 10. Attorney General Waggoner Carr will be one of the speakers for the conference. Odessa Takes Water, Sewage Loving Cups Odessa captured top honors in both water and sewage plant cate gories and received loving cups from the Texas State Department of Health here Wednesday night. Dr. J. E. Peaby, state commis sioner of health, presented awards as a highlight of the Texas Water and Sewage Works Association banquet at the University’s Me morial Student Center. Odessa was first cited for hav ing “the most attractive and effi cient” water treatment plant of any Texas city in the 40,000 to 150,000 population class. The sec ond award read the same for its sewage plant. W. M. Breneman, superintend ent of the Odessa Water Depart ment, accepted engraved loving cups for the City of Odessa. Winners in all divisions were selected by the awards committee of the TWSWA during its week- long short school for public and industrial plant operators in Texas. Other award winning cities and their population class were: Sew age Division—Corpus Christi (over 150.000) , Garland (20,000 to 40,- 000), Richardson (8,000 to 20,000), Rusk (under 8,000). Water Division Fort Worth (over 150,000), Denton (20,000 to 40.000) , and Rule (under 8,000). No award was made in the water division in the 8,000 to 20,000 pop ulation category. Melvin H.
