Ammon Underwood, of Houston,
whose career included a pre-World
War I stint as a “miracle worker” on
a British cotton plantation in East
Africa, has given Texas A&M Uni
versity, his alma mater, 167 acres of
land valued at $680,000.
The 1907 Texas A&M graduate
purchased the land more than a
half-century ago. It was then part of
his farm and ranch but is now val
ued as commercial property.
Underwood placed no restrictions
on his gift, which was made via the
Texas A&M Development Founda
tion. When the land is sold, an en
dowment will be established with
the interest produced used to meet
the most urgent needs of the Uni
versity, said Robert L. Walker,
Texas A&M’s development direc
tor.
The 86-year-old retired farmer,
rancher, banker and oil man also is
including Texas A&M in his will.
Part of his gift will be his home lo
cated on a three-acre point at
Buchanan Dam, where he now
spends most of his time.
Underwood, who enrolled in civil
engineering at Texas A&M when he
was 16 years old, credits the Uni
versity with helping him get his real
start in life. The former East Col
umbia resident spent five years after
graduation working at several loca
tions throughout Texas and then
went to British East Africa where he
served as an irrigation engineer for
two years.
“The work I did there was part of
the British effort to become inde
pendent in the production of long
staple cotton so the mills in Britain
would not have to rely on cotton
produced in the southern U.S.,”
Underwood explained.
“There were only 16 white men
and 30,000 natives, and none of the
workmen spoke English,” he ad
ded. “My training in civil engineer
ing at Texas A&M enabled me to
solve all of the problems on this job,
and many times the natives thought
I had worked miracles.
“The things I learned at Texas
A&M and the friends I made there
have been connected either directly
or indirectly with nearly everything
in my life, and I hope the gift I have
made will be helpful to others in the
future,” Underwood said.

Texas pets may he
heat stroke victims
“Many of us have pets that serve
as our traveling companions, but we
often subject them to serious danger
when we don’t intend to do so,” said
Dr. Dennis McIntosh, member of
the Texas Veterinary Medical As
sociation’s Public Information
Committee. Dr. McIntosh warns
that when you go shopping, Fido or
Kitty would be safer left at home. If
you leave them locked in the car
while you shop, even with the win
dows open, they may become vic
tims of heat stroke.
High temperatures inside the car
may cause a dangerous rise in your
pet’s body temperature. Vomiting
coma and even death may result. If
heat stroke does occur immediate
veterinary treatment is necessary.
You may help by giving a cold bath,
but your treatment must be fol
lowed by your pet’s doctor if it is to
be successful. Even with immediate
veterinary treatment, the high body
temperature, often 109-110 de
grees, may result in brain damage
or damage to other vital body or
gans, especially the kidneys.
Dogs with thick hair coats, such
as St. Bernards and Huskies, are
especially susceptible.
Overheating while playing out

Screwworms increasing
threat to all animals
The United States Department of
Agriculture is expecting a buildup of
screwworms this year and are warn
ing livestock owners to be on the
alert. Dr. Dennis McIntosh of the
Texas Veterinary Medical Associa
tion Public Information Committee
warns pet owners that screwworms
can be their problem too.
Any open sore or cut attracts the
female adult screwworm fly.
Scratching dogs and cats cause small
broken skin areas which may be
come infested. The fly lays eggs on
or near the wound and the hatched
larvae look like fly maggots. These
larvae burrow into the live tissue.
The amount of damage done can re
sult in death and, if not this serious,
a lot of damage and pain to the in
fected pet.
Any wound or raw area should be
treated immediately. Many of these
areas may look small, but the bur
rowing larvae cause damage you
may not see from the outside. All
screwworm larvae must be removed
although some are hard to find.
Veterinary treatment is important
— many of these wounds must be
opened and cleaned surgically or
they will continue to get worse.
Special care and observation of
your pets will be necessary while'
hot weather is here.
