Smith, chief of A&M’s Firemen’s Training Divi sion. “We tailor training pro grams to fit needs of individual departments.” The tailoring ranges from aid ing in organizing or reorganizing departments, writing specifica tions for new equipment, design ing fire prevention programs for public schools, to the use of lad ders and principles of ventilation. EMPHASIS is on training fire men to do their job in the safest, fastest manner. Tom Robinson, a 34-year fire service veteran with eight years at A&M, summed up the school’s aims. “The related information we give in lectures is valuable,” he said. “But it’s not any good to the firemen until they go outside and apply it. The testing factor is the key to success.” College Station, en you need hardware, household items, pliances, large or small.

The 123-page volume by Dr. Jack A. Dabbs is the first scien tific study to determine the most- used words in the Bengali lan guage. Bengali, one of the major lan guages of the world, is spoken in East Pakistan and neighboring parts of India by more than 60 million people, Dr. Dabbs said. “This study is of special value to teachers and students of the language, because it helps deter mine which words are of greater frequency and importance * than others,” the department head said. The book is one of six produced at A&M, which is developing edu cational institutions in East Pak istan through the International Programs Office. A short Ben- gali-English dictionary was pub lished in 1962 and reprinted in 1966. Two texts and a book on dialects were written at A&M. “The world’s first tape re corded dictionary was produced here when the entire dictionary was put on magnetic tape for stu dents who have no native speak er,” Dr. Dabbs noted. Research was sponsored by In ternational Programs, the Liberal Arts College and from funds de rived from dictionary sales. Bas is of the study was a Sunday issue of a Calcutta newspaper. Twenty - one high - frequency words make up 10 per cent of all the words used in an average newspaper,” Dabbs commented. He said 43,000 words appeared in the issue, of which 8,000 were used only once. Dr. Dabbs and his assistant, Mrs. Ruby Ali, are presently en gaged in compiling a glossary of scientific agricultural terms in English and Bengali. Speaking of keys, the training by A&M’s itinerant instructors earns no key rate insurance cred its for participating fire depart ments. Some departments set up training and equipment programs recommended by the A&M spe cialists, however, with the event ual results contributing to a fire insurance rate reduction for that city. LAST YEAR, five itinerant in structors conducted training pro grams in 120 Texas towns, log ging 6,794 miles in the process. The mileage might have been even higher except for a “circuit riding” plan. Altogether, 600 meetings pro vided 34,974 hours of instruction for 2,323 firemen. A&M officials say the ideal class has 14 students, but enroll ment varies from a minimum of 10 to a maximum of 25. Courses last a minimum of 15 hours each. And since volun teers work in a variety of jobs during the day, most classes are taught at night. “WE SET up a five-town cir cuit, usually within a 25 or 30 mile radius except in West Tex as,” explained Chief Smith. “The same instructor teaches classes in each town one night a week for five weeks.” A minor problem of coordina tion often arises since many fire departments stage training meet ings on the same night. Hines Promoted In Judo Ranking The Armed Forces Judo Asso ciation, acting for the U. S. Judo Association and Kodokan Judo Institute, recently approved the request of the Texas A&M Judo Club to promote club sponsor, Air Force Lt. Colonel Thomas E. Hines, to the rank of sankyu (third brown belt) in judo for service to judo. Lt. Col. Hines assumed sponsor ship of the club on the departure from A&M of Major Lester R. Hewitt. Promotions for service to judo are awarded to persons judged by the promotions committee of the Armed Forces Judo Association as deserving, based on the indi vidual’s contribution to the ad vance of the sport. Air Force Generals Curtis E. LeMay and Thomas Powers received similar promotions while serving as com manders-in-chief of the Strategic Air Command. “We get eager, attentive stu dents for our classes,” comment ed James Bland, an 11-year TEES employe with 30 years in fire service. “They come for in struction because they want it, not because their chief told them to come.” Chief Smith said 95 per cent of the circuit departments send men to annual summer training schools at A&M. “WE POINT out advantages of further training during the short schools,” he continued. “They realize it’s to their advantage to keep up good training programs. You can’t give anybody 15 years of experience in 15 hours of in struction.” la-de-da snooty affairs our specialty! Ladies love meeting at Ramada Inp!

RAMADA INN Bryan - College Station 846-8811 _jf r mmm FLOYD LAMBERT TEES Names Lambert Head In Electronics Floyd A. Lambert has been named chief instructor of the In stitute of Electronic Science, a division of Texas A&M’s Engi neering Extension Service. Lambert’s appointment to the post, effective March 1, was an nounced by H. D. Bearden, TEES director. The Institute of Electronic Sci ence is located at Texas A&M’s Research Annex, 12 miles west of Bryan. Fifty-eight students are currently enrolled in two ad vanced classes. Lambert replaces L. K. Jonas, who recently resigned to become director of engineering arts and technology at Central Texas Col lege, a new institution scheduled to open in September near Kil leen. Bearden said Lambert chose teaching over industrial applica tion of his technological experi ence. “Lambert is a natural selection for the job,” Bearden remarked. “He will continue to play a key role in development of more unique and advanced specialized training programs. He is keenly interested in new applications. Last year, for instance, he took a computer science course at A&M’s Data Processing Center and studied transistor develop ments at Texas Instruments in Dallas.” Jonas joined Tees in 1951 as an instructor in the Supervisory Development Division. He be came chief instructor a year later and held that post until he was named to develop the Institute of Electronic Science in 1963. A 1938 electrical engineering graduate of Texas A&M, Lam bert joined TEES in 1963 as an instructor after logging 25 years’ service with the Air Force. He retired as a lieutenant colonel with experience in communica tions and electronics. In 1959- 60, Lambert managed all com munications and electronics oper ations for the U. S. in Korea, commanding a 750-man squadron. Bearden said two new instruc tors will be added to the insti tute’s teaching staff in the near future. The institute currently has a five-member staff.
