The test program was approved icently by the State Board of Mucation to begin this fall in 14 hool districts. Each will conduct a health jience pilot program that will nable students to study relation- hips between man and his en vironment in terms of emissions from both population and industry. The pilot programs will be checked out during the 1972-73 school year in Abilene, Amarillo, Beaumont, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, McAllen, Mesquite, Pas adena, Richardson, San Angelo, El Campo, San Antonio, Harlan- dale and Victoria school districts, according to Texas Education Agency announcement. Science teachers to conduct the first-year lab course in Septem ber will attend a special five-week TAMU training session beginning July 10. Leon Holbert, chief instructor of the Water Utilities Training Division, said the teacher train ing program will involve a re gional one-week short school in Austin, two weeks of field in struction including on-the-job in struction and night school, and two weeks instruction and testing at the TAMU Research Annex. He said the program has been a long-term goal of the Texas Water Treatment Association, State Health Department and EES. “Its success or failure will de pend on our curriculum develop ment and the teacher’s five-week training session,” he said. Cooperating cities which will offer intensive training in their water treatment plants are Gar land, Baytown, San Antonio and Lubbock. Under the career education plan, a high school junior could begin pointing his academic pro gram with a special science course. During the one-hour cred it lab, he will discover occupa tions keyed to the environment, visit city water and waste water plants on field trips and partici pate in related physical and bio logical science experiments. Senior students would enroll in industrial and cooperative train ing and office occupations courses, going to school half a day and working half a day. Such experience and training will enable a student to find a job immediately on graduation, or, if preferable, take additional technical training, it was pointed out.

Two direct feed cancelling ma chines are available at the Bryan Post Office to move the increased mail volume from the associate offices. “The Bryan Post Office,” Ul saker pointed out, “is a Sectional Center Facility, and the new sys tem will revolve entirely around that capacity and that function.” “The program will take effect June 24,” he said. Area Mail processing is a plan whereby virtually all mail origi nating within a Sectional Center Area, including any or all of the associate offices of the Sectional Center Facility, will be consoli dated at the SCF for complete preparation and processing for outgoing dispatch. All mail deposited in street let ter boxes or the out-of-town letter drops at the associate offices will be transferred to the SCF for processing and will bear the post mark designated for the SCF area. The Bryan SCF postmark will read, “U. S. Postal Service, TX 778,” along with the date and AM-PM designation. The city postmark of Bryan and each in dividual associate office will not be changed. Mail deposited in a designated drop unit at a post office or a letter box labeled “For Local Cancellation Only” will be post marked at the local office of origin with the name of that of fice. Each postmaster will have deposit boxes and letter drop units designated for this purpose. All metered mail will bear the post mark of the office of origin. It was emphasized by Ulsaker that no office will lose its local postmark. He asked specifically that cus tomers no longer use the word “City” as an address in place of the name of the city of destina tion. “Obviously,” he said, “in this new system, a letter with just ‘City’ could lose its identity.” Post offices affected by this program in the Bryan - College Station area are Anderson, Be- dias, Brenham, Burton, Caldwell, Calvert, Dime Box, Franklin, Cause, Hearne, lola, Lyons, Madi- sonville, Marquez, Navasota, Nor- mangee, North Zulch, Richards, Snook, Somerville and Washing ton.
