the previous record, reported
John R. Rauch of the school’s
training staff.
He said instructors, adminis
trative personnel and manufac
turer’s representatives account
for the remaining 214 partici
pants.
Rauch noted 39 states and 18
foreign countries are represented
during the second week of the
three-week school.
The first week included in
struction for municipal firemen
and the final week will be de
voted to training Spanish-speak
ing firemen.
Rauch said the emphasis this
week is on industrial fire pre
vention. The program is con
ducted in three different sec
tions, with instruction tailored
to individual needs and back
grounds. The participants vary
in their industrial assignments
from firefighter to supervisors,
safety directors and personnel
in technical and management
positions.
The industrial phase of the
school is now in its 11th year,
Rauch noted.
A&M’s Thermodynamics Re
search Center, a division of the
Chemistry Department, has been
awarded a $100,000 research
grant extension by the National
Bureau of Standards.
The funded project, adminis
tered by the Texas A&M Re
search Foundation, is titled “Se
lected Values of Properties of
Chemical Compounds.” The proj
ect, according to co-principal in
vestigator Dr. Randolph C. Wil-
hoit, consists primarily of devel
oping uniform methods of cor
relating scientific data and fit
ting that data to various types
of theoretical models.
“The National Bureau of
Standards,” Dr. Wilhoit ex
plained, “supports several data
and evaluation centers through
out the country with funding
from its Office of Standard Ref
erence Data. We are operating
as one of those centers.
“We publish standardized data
in supplementary volumes of the
Journal of Physical and Chemical
Reference Data, our first article
appearing recently on thermo
dynamic alcohols.”
Dr. Wilhoit, an associate pro
fessor of chemistry and associ
ate director of the project, is
joined by Dr. Bruno Zwolinski,
director of the Thermodynamics
Research Center, in heading the
project. The grant extension
compliments last year’s $100,000
initial funding.
Similar projects, Dr. Wilhoit
noted, have been operating con
tinuously at A&M since 1964.

Be careful with fire*
Remember: there are babes
in the woods*
And those baby fawns, rabbits,
squirrels and trees need a safe, happy
home. They need a place where they can
grow up strong and healthy.
Like babes everywhere.
So, please, be careful with fire when
you’re in the forest.
Follow all the rules of safety and
caution—just like any other place where
there are children at play.
