FINE PROFESSION NOWI
Henry Clark Sees
Texas And It’s
Vast Industries
In the past four weeks I have
really seen Texas and its indus-
tries. I have examined carefully the
industries in Brownwood, Eastland,
{ San Antonio, and Waco. I spent
three days on the ship channel at
Houston and barely made a dint
Last week I saw three of the
most interesting industries that I
have seen at all in Fort Worth.
They belong to the Waples-Platter
Grocery Company with Galen H.
McKinney, vice-president and gen-
eral manager. Our contact was
perfect
But the greatest and most gi-
gantic concerns I have looked at
all are in the Beaumont area be-
tween Beattmont and Orange, and
near Port Arthur and Port Neches.
One striking example of what I
saw was the Neches Butane Pro-
ducts Company, a little nearer Port
Neches than Port Arthur. To give
you some illustration of the vast-
ness of that industry, which is re-
puted to be the largest and beat
cracking plant in the world, it
uses as much water in its cooling
system in one hour ae the city of
Concinnati uses in a day and night.
I will leave here Wednesday
morning for Tyler to see four
modern canning plants. My con-
tacts are already perfectly made.
It is my object in investigating
these various enterprises to be able
to run unto something that will be
practical for Stepbenville.
Very respectfully, Henry Mark.

Enlist in Army

crowded conditions and lack of fac-
ilities at the present time, R. L.

my opinion that young men grad-

wise to volunteer for Army service
before continuing their education.”
Having more than a thousand
more applicants than can be ac-
comodated for the coming school
term, Mr. Brewer added, “Within
three years additional builmngs
will be provided. As one example,-
we expect to construct a large,
modem, well equipped science
building to help provide more and
better instruction for the students.
Other improvements will follow,
and by the time the young high
school graduate has completed his
Army service many of these im-
having them move from the com-
munity but have our best wisheh
as they go.
