event we plant to exhibit our ap
preciation,” said J. E. Roberts,
chairman of the Brazos Valley
Friends of Reagan Brown.
Roberts noted that some 20
Bryan-College Station residents
compose the committee whose task
it is to coordinate and implement
the various activities planned for the
day.
“It is his birthday and in accor
dance we plan to have a Texas-size
birthday cake on hand for the even
ing event,” Roberts said.
Brown’s ties with the Bryan-
College Station area date back to
1939 when he entered Texas A&M
as a freshman. In 1956 he returned
to the community as Extension
Sociologist in the Agricidtural
Economics and Sociology Depart
ment. During his years with the Ex
tension Service, he worked closely
with rural communities, helping to
install 750 water systems, upgrade
the development of 1,000 small
towns, and spearhead the revitaliza
tion of 800 rural communities.
Prior to assuming his present pos
ition, Brown was named special as
sistant to Gov. Dolph Briscoe where
he was responsible for rural devel
opment and agricultural programs.
A&M vets
say pet ‘pill’
almost here
Those so-called pet “pill” con
traceptives to prevent animal preg
nancies may be a reality in the near
future, hut don’t expect them to be
inexpensive or available at your local
supermarket, advise Texas A&M
University veterinary officials.
Three kinds of animal contracep
tives — a food additive, a time-
released wafer under the skin and an
injection — are currently being
tested on dogs at Ohio State Univer
sity, Colorado State and the Univer
sity of Guelph, Canada.
Of the three, notes Dr. Maiy Her
ron, associate professor of veterinary
anatomy at Texas A&M, the food
additive should he okayed for gen
eral use first, probably in the next
few months.
“The concept is good, says Dr.
Robert F. Playter, head of Texas
A&M’s small animal and surgery de
partment, “hut people have a ten
dency to forget to take their own
medicine. ,
“I think there might be a tendency
for pet owners to forget to administer
the pet contraceptive over a period
of time and we might see a loss of its
effectiveness in that regard.”
Both Playter and Herron agree
that the product will not likely he
inexpenisve, nor will it he sold off
the shelf next to the dog collars and
flea shampoo.
“It needs more control than that,”
Herron explains.
“I don’t forsee this as a regular
grocery item that can he picked up
off the shelf . Playter says.
“This is not a solution for pet
over-population,” says Herron.
“This is a measure for the pet owner
who is already concerned because he
must be willing to pay for it and must
be willing to give it. It won t do any
thing for the stray dog and cat prob
lem.”
But veterinarians are not the only
Texas A&M group closely watching
developments of animal contracep
tives.
U.S. hijacker
satisfied with
Cuban living
United Press International
HAVANA — An American ac
cused of hijacking a charter boat
from Key West, Fla. to Cuba in
July, 1974, says few hijacking sus
pects who have remained in Cuba
have found jobs, but he has no de
sire to return to the United States.
Cliff McCrary, one of a group of
suspected airplane and boat hijac
kers who live in a downtown hotel
■called Nueva Isla (New Island),
showed up at the Riviera Hotel
where U.S. newsmen covering the
recent opening of the U.S. mission
were staying.
The Americans, who are charged
with kidnaping and other crimes in
the United States, live with Colom
bians, Chileans and Mexicans who
face similar charges in their coun
tries. There are about 15 in all.
McCrary, who came to Cuba with
his wife and two children, said his
children are enrolled in Cuban
schools and speak Spanish fluently.
He said he has been treated well
and has no desire to return to the
United States.
Asked about the crime with
which he is charged — pulling a gun
on the charter captain — McCrary
said, “It still makes me sick to think
about it.”
McCrary, who lived in Van
couver, Wash., Dallas, Tex., and
Omaha, Neb., at various times be
fore his arrival in Cuba, was well-
dressed even though he said he was
not employed.
“I ve been promised a job in a
new computer center when it
opens,” he said, addding that few of
the hijack suspects had found jobs in
Cuba.
