index of the three clues to any

I >oes he feel comfortable about
himself (-') Does he feel right
about other people, (3) Is he able
to meet the demands of life?

BRUCELLOSIS
ERADICATION
Action is needed to "beef up"
the brucellosis testing program
so that the dreaded cattle disease
can be eradicated, emphasizes
Dr. James Armstrong, Exten-
sion veterinarian. Although all
Texas counties are "Modlfled-
Ceitifled Brucellosis Free" at
present, 127 of these have de-
linquent herds and will lose their
status unless certain require-
ments are met. When a reactor
is disclosed at slaughter, the
herd must be quarantined and
a test date set. A dair> herd
with a suspicious milk ring test
must be quarantined and blood
tested. All infected herds must
be retested in not more than
120 days after the last retest.

Adding A Patio
This Spring?
COLLEGE STATION - Are
you planning to add a patio to
your home this spring ? Tlie area
set aside for outdoor living is
probably the most important part
of your landscape plan, says
W S Allen, agrunltural engineer
with the Texas Agricultural Ex-
tension Service.
"A patio is designed for enter-
tainment and family relaxation,"
Allen explains. "Even the small-
est of houses has room for a
patio. Most txMTimonly, this patio
area is tlie main feature of the
outdoor living room It provides
an area for lounge chairs, barbe-
cue grill, table for dining, and a
hard surface for activities such
as dancing.
If you have a choice of sites
for your patio, face it to the
south or southwest, suggests the
engineer This will enable the
summer breezes to come in and
will also shield the patio from
the north winter winds The patio
should ! • screened from unsight-
ly views and for privacy by
fencts, trees, walls or hedges.
If possible, build the patio on
the same level as the door lead-
ing into the house," says Allen.
"It's more convenient and safer
<n transport food, chairs and
oiier items on a level plain than
up and down stairs Make the
patio as large as possible; yet
keep it in proportion with the
hiiLs- Tlie minimum size patio
is 9 by 12 feet."
Strive to make the patio inter-
esting by using sweeping curves
rather than a square or rectangu-
lar Shape Cu-ves are most in-
teresting ami pleasing to the eye
an<' nervous system than are
straight lines They will also
bit nd well with modem landscap-
ing
In laying out the outside perim-
eter of the patio, a garden hose
may be used to get a curved,
ir-egular design Move the hose
about until you work out the
tfesired, pleasing design.
"Add points of interest within
the patio itself, such as a small
blank space to plant a small
shrub or dwarf tree, or even a
plant espaliered on a wall," sug-
gests Allen "To break the mo-
notony of a solid concrete slab,
use two by-four-inch redwood tim-
b rs turnixl on their sides flush
with the concrete ami placed in
four-foot squares These will also
aet as expansion joints in case
of severe freezes Coloring ma-
il rials may he used at random
in these squares to break the
monotony still more "
An economical and practical
scheme for seating is to build lip
the outer perimeter 11 inches with
brick Secure a 2-by-12-inch hoard
of California redwood on top of
the brick Sofa pillows may then
be used for s-ating the guests.
NEW TECHNIQUE EXPLORED
AUSTIN -- A project to explore
tlie use of computer - based in-
structional techniques in under-
graduate education lias been un-
dertaken by a team of University
of Texas faculty members.
The four - year project, funded
by the National Science Founda-
tion and the University, will be
directed by Dr. John J. /Ulan,
associate professor of mechani-
cal engineering.
The goal of computer - based
teaching techniques is to shift
the burden for learning material
onto tlie student, so that instruc-
tors have more time for teach-
ing. in some cases, small com-
puters will be employed to re-
lieve students of mundane, dan-
gerous or complex laborator)
tasks.
COMMENCEMNT SPEAKER
AUSTIN -- A federal official
whose work involves a subject
of great concern to college stu-
dents has been selected as the
1972 commencement speaker
at The 1 'nlversity of Texas.
William D. Huckelshaus, ad-
ministrator of the Environmental
Protection Agency, will give the
principal commencement ad-
dress at evening graduation ex-
ercises Ma> 20.
Claim Number
Important To
SS Beneficiary
People collecting monthly so-
cial security checks should al-
ways keep a record of their
claim number, according to Ed
M. Bowers, Social Security Dis-
trict Manager in Austin.
With almost 27 million social
security beneficiaries -- some
of them with the same names —
the claim number Is important
because it immediately Identi-
fies an individual record. The
claim number is not always the
social security number of the
person getting monthly payments.
It's actually the social security
number of the worker un whose
record the beneficiary is collect-
ing checks. The claim number
has 9 digits followed by one or
two letters, such as A, B, C, or
IIA.
The claim number appears on
monthly checks, Medicare cards,
and on most correspondence from
the Social Security Administra-
tion that involves the claim.
People should use the claim
number whenever they write a
letter about their claim and
should have the number handy
if they call or visit a social
security office. The claim num-
ber assures prompt and accurate
action for the beneficiary .
