‘Discovery’ Helps Foreigners
Thursday, November 21, 1968
THE BATTALION
College Station, Texas

Thanksgiving in America would
never be the same without the
traditional pumpkin pie.
And, Mrs. Chung Song of Korea
asked a very simple question.
“How do you bake a pumpkin
pie?”
TV Auction Set
The annual Bryan-College Sta
tion Jaycees TV Auction will be
held Sunday afternoon, Dec. 8,
following the professional foot
ball game on KBTX-TV, Channel
3, according to an announcement
made by project chairman, Bob
Allen.
“The Jaycees’ TV Auction has
been popular with local viewers
and has been one of the Jaycees’
prime sources of funds for the
projects that are undertaken dur
ing the year,” Allen said.
Between now , and the first of
December local Jaycees will be
visiting Bryan-College Station
merchants and asking for dona
tions of items from their stores
which can be auctioned on tele
vision. These items will be val
ued at $50.00 or more, so the
home viewers will be bidding on
items of real value.
Allen went on to say that mer
chants would be asked to give
items that were representative
of their store. “In past years
we have sold everything from
puppies to automobiles, and this
year the Jaycees will have a wide
selection of items for the home,
the family, or the individual.”
Although her advanced English
teacher admitted most pumpkin
pies come ready-made from the
grocery store, Mrs. Pat Ramsey
of Bryan’s Central Baptist
Church told her how it was done.
Mrs. Song is one of 140 Inter
national wives and children en
rolled in “Discovery,” an Ameri
can culture-oriented project now
in its second year here for foreign
families.
INITIATED IN the fall of
1967 by five Bryan-College Sta
tion Baptist churches, “It’s suc
cess and accomplishments are
tremendous,” Foreign Student
Advisor Robert L. Melcher said.
“I have never known of a pro
gram which has been received so
enthusiastically in this area—or
in any other area for that mat
ter.”
Pastor Lloyd Elder of College
Station’s First Baptist Church
where the women and children
meet every Wednesday morning,
added, “We have been requested
to meet every morning.”
He quickly pointed out, how
ever, that even with “some 85
ladies from all the participating
churches taking part” the pro
gram still comes up “short-hand
ed.” The churches pay all ex
penses.
CONFLICTING schedules of
students and workers would also
create a daily problem, he
stressed.
The scope of Discovery is all
embracing, noted Pastor Andrew
Heskett of Central Baptist

'Your friend for life" Robert Jaeckle
He's an easy person to talk with.
And what he can tell you about policies
specially designed for seniors and grad
uate students is worth listening to. It
can make a lot of difference in your
future. Talk with him when he calls.
There's never any obligation.

Church. “For example, everything
from conversational English to
sewing, piano, arts and crafts
are taught.”
Calvary Baptist Pastor Bob
Owens disclosed that approxi
mately 30 countries are repre
sented and 13 religions including
Moslem, Unitarian, Jain and
Greek Orthodox.
“THE IMPACT of the program
is terrific and has greatly en
riched the lives of all participants
and the foreign students whose
families are participating,” Owens
said.
While mothers of International
children attend classes, sessions
for small children include music,
games, creative activities and
Bible stories, noted Discovery di
rector Mrs. Travis Williamson,
an A&M graduate student.
The program is not evangel
istic, Elder added.
“We started off with a fairly
narrow attitude of thinking we’d
teach only conversational En
glish,” he pointed out.
ELDER ADMITS, however, the
program blossomed into other
areas, one of the biggest being
“friendship.”
And, while the formal program
is held on Wednesdays, many
International wives and their
husbands and children find them
selves in the homes of the volun
teer workers.
“This way personal initiative
goes on,” Elder said.
ALL CHURCHES — First in
Bryan and College Station, Cen
tral, Calvary and Emmanuel in
Bryan — are equally involved.
Classes are held in College Sta
tion’s church due to its proximity
to International residences.
A sidelight that has developed,
added Elder, is the “establish
ment of a library.” Books on
American culture has the librari
an busy keeping up with them!
DISCOVERY CHILDREN
Children of International wives of A&M students play
games between periods of instruction. A team-teaching
method employs five teachers for the four and five year
age group. Mrs. Calvin Beard, First Baptist Church, Bryan,
watches her group at play.
Poultry Club Sells
Smoked Turkeys
The Poultry Science Club is
selling smoked turkeys now
through Christmas to raise
money to send a poultry judging
team to a national contest in
Fayetteville, Arkansas.
The smoked turkeys will sell
for $1.10 per lb. or $1.40 per lb.
mailed anywhere in the U.S.
They may be purchased at the
Poultry Center, the Department
Office on the second floor of the
Agriculture Building and from
any club member.
ADVANCED ENGLISH
