MON; F EACH 498tli ’S [328 Everyone is a consumer: the little girl grasping a nickel to buy candy, the elderly gentleman shopping for a second limousine and the young homemaker decid ing whether to buy canned or fresh pumpkin for Thanksgiving. This week salutes them with Hats off to Consumers during Consumer Education Week, No vember 6-10 in Texas. Each constantly is struggling to stretch his dollars for the best, safest and most adequate buys. The week, sponsored by the Tex as Agricultural Extension Serv ice, aims to help him. Successful dollar-stretching be gins with a spending plan fitted especially for your family and reflecting its values, needs, ways of living and wants. It is impossible to set a budget for a family of four, for example, because each family is individual, Extension specialists at Texas A&M University say. Your plan must be tailor-made. But budgeting need not be a drudgery, itemizing every penny spent and balancing weekly. Use a spending plan for a year for best results, Extension specialists advise. After a plan allows more-better spending, the consumer then chooses, uses and maintains his purchases. State and federal laws, busi nessmen, government agencies, teachers, Extension workers and researchers work for the con sumer to protect him and make him more aware and informed to AMERICA’S GREATEST SLACKS •HAMILTON HOUSE” TROUSERS $16 TO $25 HUBBARD SLACKS $10 TO $20 “BREECHES” PERMANENT PRESS $7 TO $9 DUPONT* BLENDS INSURE LONGER WEAR f Wm § m Jti!

The county Extension office serves as a consumer center for each consumer. Law protects him with clean, fit food; safe effective drugs and therapeutic devices; safe cos metics; and honest, informative labeling and packaging. Laws also protect clothing, fabric and some furniture buyers, specifying that certain informa tion about textile products be provided to the consumer. An aware consumer takes ad vantage of these aids for better buys for better living. It begins with a plan and has a happy ending. But does it? We take for granted many cus tomer services such as grading, standardization, inspection o f food, laws and labels. But the informed benefit most. This leaves much up to the cus tomer. To inquire and report mis leading advertising and labels, improper labeling, poor quality which do not meet standards, mis representation of credit. Manu facturers benefit from your sug gestions and complaints. They want to satisfy you. The dollars will go further and happier for all if you bone up your shopping know-how. With continuing mutual support among consumers, business, manufactur ers and service agencies, products and selection will continue to im prove. The little girl’s candy will be clean and safe; the gentleman’s automobile will be safe.

Dvorak in an Engineer ing Lecture Wednesday at Texas A&M. The General Dynamics/Fort Worth chief scientist will speak at 3:30 p.m. in the Architecture Auditorium, announced Engineer ing Dean Fred J. Benson. Dr. Dvorak also will meet with the A&M student chapter of the American Nuclear Society Tues day evening, noted Dr. Robert S. Wick, chapter advisor. Chapter president William Woodruff of Ulysses, Neb., said the open meet ing will be at 7:30 p.m. in room 211 of the petroleum engineering building. Dvorak is in charge of the nu clear and applied research depart ment of General Dynamics. He directs work in radiation effects, reactor operation, instrumenta tion, shielding, plasma physics, powder metallurgy, superconduc tivity, microbiology and extrater restrial gravimetry. The speaker studied mechani cal engineering at the University of Houston and completed mas ters and Ph.D. degrees in physics at the University of Texas in 1953. He was a consultant at Oak Ridge for an electromagnetic sep aration process project. At Tex as, Dvorak was involved in pro ducing an electronic angle resolv er and controller used to test air borne fire control systems and generating nuclear data employ ing a Cockcroft-Walton accelera tor. He joined General Dynamics in 1953 and was first involved in development of instrumentation for making nuclear measurements in adverse environments. For the last two years he has been special consultant to the materials advisory board pf the National Academy of Sciences.

It refused also to examine le gal questions raised by U.S. in volvement in the Vietnam war, including President Johnson’s au thority to send troops to Vietnam without a congressional declara tion of war. THE MARYLAND loyalty pro gram is the fourth such state program upset by the court since 1964. Others involved Arizona, New York and Washington state. The 6-3 decision written by Justice William O. Douglas, left serious doubt that any other state program requiring loyalty certifi cates of teachers could pass high court muster. “We are in the First Amend ment field,” Douglas wrote. “The continuing surveillance which this type of law places on teachers is hostile to academic freedom.” SPECIFICALLY, the majority found fault with the requirement that prospective state employes certify they are not engaged “in one way or another” in an at tempt to forcibly overthrow the U.S. or Maryland government. Douglas said the six judges did not know whether this was in tended to cover innocent mem- subversive organi- bership h zation. “AS WE HAVE said in like situations,” Douglas continued, “the oath required must not be so vague and broad as to make men of common intelligence speculate at their peril on its meaning.” Chief Justice Earl Warren and Justice Hugo L. Black, William J. Brennan Jr., Abe Fortas and Thurgood Marshall voted with Douglas. Justices John M. Harlan, Pot ter Stewart and Byron R. White dissented, with Harlan saying they found nothing unconstitu tional about the oath. He attrib uted to the majority “a process of reasoning that defies analy sis.” BUT DOUGLAS found himself and Stewart in the minority on the Vietnam issue when the court decided not to examine the legal aspects of President Johnson’s dispatch of troops to the war zone. “I intimate not even tenta tive views upon any of these mat ters,” Stewart said, “but I think the court should squarely face them.” He spoke also for Doug las, who took a similar position alone last term. “In less than a generation, the American farmer has created a greater agricultural abundance than his predecessors through all the generations of our history achieved,” said President Lyndon B. Johnson in proclaiming the pe riod from Nov. 17-23 as National Farm-City Week. “This revolution, wrought by the American farmer,” he contin ued, “is one of the triumphs of our age. Even though he himself has not always received his fair share of the Nation’s prosperity —a circumstance which his coun try in good conscience cannot per mit to continue—he has helped to improve the conditions of life fox' every American. “The average consumer today enjoys a more abundant supply of food than any people has ever known—and he pays a lesser share of his income for it than ever before. “One of the most vital contri butions to the achievements of American agriculture has been understanding and cooperation between farm and city—an inter dependence that has supported our National development. “Moreover, American agricul ture now represents hope for ci ties and villages far beyond our shores, where the spectre of pov erty threatens the stability—and even the peace—of the world. . .” In calling upon all Americans to join in the observance of Farm-City Week, which is coordi nated nationally by Kiwanis In ternational, President Johnson emphasized the necessity of fac ing the challenge of the future in agriculture simultaneously with meeting the needs of today; the need to help hungry nations help themselves to become more pro ductive—the ultimate solution to food shortage problems. Also the moral and practical imperative of creating a better total environment for all citizens in both rural and urban areas, by removing causes of poverty, dis crimination, and ignorance, by controlling pollution, and by wise ly and productively using our soil, water, forests, and other renew able resources; and the impor tance of continuing to build an economically sound family-farm agriculture and a visually beau tiful countryside. Jack Barton of Houston’s Fed eral Intermediate Credit Bank is chairman of the Texas Farm-City Week Committee and John Mc- Haney, Extension economist at Texas A&M University is serving as information coordinator. mS Stationery, books, cards baby albums shower invitations baby announcements shower centerpieces napkins, cups, plates etc. AGGIELAND FLOWER AND GIFT SHOPPE 209 University Drive Now Open!
