In History At
Baylor University
Advanced academic placement
tests given recently by Baylor
University Testing and Counsel-
ling Center have been completed
and results announced. There
were 42 advanced - standing
ratings given.
Approximately 150 high school
graduates took one or more of
the tests in preparation for fall
enrollment. With the attain-
ment of the necessary score on
the exam, requirements for the
course are waived allowing the
(student to enroll in courses of-
fering greater interest and chal-
lenge
Qualifications for such testing
Includes: (1) having graduated
jn upper one-tihird of high school
class; (2) having achieved su-
perior grade in high school equ-
ivalent to area being tested; and
(3) having attained the upper-
Test required for admission to
Bavlor.
Advanced placement examina-
tions were offered in biology,
business, chemistry, English,
•geology, history, home econo-
mics, physics and religion. A
total of 282 tests were given in
the nine fields ta the 150 ap-
plicants.
Four students were awarded
grants toward their first semes-
ter’s expenses because of su-
perior ratings on the advanced
standing tests.

Chain Letter
Schemes Violate
Postal Laws
The local postmaster R. J.
Hruska is again alerting the
public to the fact that endless
chain letter schemes for ob-
taining money, saving bonds or
other things of value violate the
postal lottery and fraud laws
and that many such schemes are
being conducted through the
mail at this time.
Those who participate in
such activities may be subject
to criminal prosecution. It makes
no difference whether the lists
are circulated through the mail
Or passed from hand to hand;
as long as the money, bonds, or
receipts are mailed, there is a
violation of the lew.
Any available information
concerning the schemes, includ-
ing a sample of the letters and
names of Uhe participants,
should be promptly reported.

Check Stations
For Deer Kill
Are Discontinued
Austin — Deer checking sta-
tions generally over the state
will be discontinued during the
next hunting season This has
been announced bv H. D. Dodg-
tn, executive secretary of the
Game and Fish Commission.
Last year a full-scale deer
checking station was maintained
at Llano, and others in North-
east Texas.
They were manned l?y biolo-
gists seeking information about
the age and other characteristics
of the deer killed. These check
stations also established the
number of deer taken, both in
does and bucks, and the num-
ber of hunters who took them.
“They have served their pur-
pose in many areas, and we feel
little more good can be accomp-
lished by them, except in a few
counties where information of
this kind is not available,” he
said.
Maintaining the check stations
is expensive to t)he Commission.
Also, in many instances, it has
meant that hunters had to go
out of the way to check their
kill.
“The results, however, were
most helpful and helped us to
establish biological information
necessary to our research work,”
the director said.
Hill Jr. College
May Open in ’62,
Kiwanians Told
“If everything goes well, the
prepcsed re-opening of the Hills-
boro Junior College could begin
classes on a temporary basis in
the fall of 1962,” West Kiwanians
were told at their luncheon
meeting by Jack Whitaker, who
is a Hillsboro business man. The
program was introduced by Ar-
thur Deiterman, program chair-
man for- the day.
An investigation by a commit-
tee over 2 years ago revealed
that the Hillsboro area was the
only small town in Texas eligi-
ble for state aid and said that
the old Hillsboro Junior College
was never closed but just stop-
ped operating.
For the two years of operation,
the new Jr. College would receive
$1G5.000 each year from the
.state. After that the amount
would be a different figure.
Locate in West?
Whitaker said that no site has
been set up and that it would
not necessarily be located in
Hillsboro.
Several school districts out-
side of Hillsboro have voted to
tie in with the proposed Jrunior
College system thus assisting it
financially. Since these other
districts are now a part of the
Junior College district, students
from those districts will only
have to pay the normal t.ution.
Students outside the district
would have to pay a higher tui-
tion.
Advantages
A survey recently showed Jr.
College transfers did better in
Senior Colleges than students
i that started as freshmen in Sen-
ior Colleges.
Another advantage of a local
Junior College is the easier fi-
nancial situation.
Sometimes a Junior College
helps draw industry to an area.
In 10-15 years there might not
be any place for all the students
desiring a college education.
Nearby universities such as Bay-
lor and TCU are increasing their
tuition and entrance standards.
Only Nominal Tax Increase
If West should decide to tie in
with the system it would only
increase taxes by 30c per $100
valuation. However, West would
receive much more benefit be-
cause it would keep most of its
students at home for two more
years. Monroe Kruse said that
about 25 - 30 West students go to
college each year.
To get the ball rolling West
first would have to get a petition
signed by 5 per cent of the quali-
fied voters. Then an election
wrauldr be held to determine if
the people of West would like to
join the Junior College District.
'Then a final vote would be tak-
en on a bond
The Kiwanis attendance prize
was a dollar bill donated by the
Lone Star Gas Company and
won by Dr. Mellgren.
A meeting of the Kiwanis
Board of Directors will be held
this Monday, July 8 at the home
uf Jack Moses at 7:30 p.m.
Summertime Is
Turkey Time
College Station — If you are
planning a picnic, patio party or
outdoor barbecue, then plan to
serve turkey. This is the advice
off George Draper of the poultry
science department at Texas A.
and M. College. He says your
family and guests will enjoy the
delicious flavor of turkey meat
hot from the barbecue grill.
Turkey breeders, through
many years of breeding and re-
search, have developed a turkey
that can be marketed at any
age or weight. Birds going to
market this year are smaller in
weight, but have more meat per
pound of turkey. You can find
turkeys ranging from. 4 to 24
pounds in your food store. These
birds are ready to cook, and they
arc low in fat and high in pro-
tein. This combination makes
turkey an ideal meat for the hot
summer days, points out Draper,
When barbecuing turkey, pre-
paring the fire is half the secret
of success If you are a good
fireman, chances are you will be
a godd barbecue man. Start the
fire about 30 minutes before
placing the turkey on the grill.
Do not try to barbecue with too
much fire; slow cooking is very
important, explains Draper.
Normally, turkeys are split down
the back and breast and cooked
in halves. Whole turkeys may
be barbecued on an electric spit,
however, the second step to
.success is frequent basting with
your favorite barbecue sauce.
Another factor in favor of
serving is the lack of waste. If
there is any left over turkey
after the meal, you can beat the
heat by serving cold barbecue
Sandwiches the next day.
Philosopher Declines to Use Shovel,
Speculates on De-Salted Ocean Water
Editor’s note: The Philosopher
on his Johnson grass farm on
Aquilla Creek looks toward the
future of farming this week, but
his vision may be clouded.
Dear editar:
I was sitting lunder a tree some
distance away from my house
yesterday afternoon where it
Was quieter, on account of I had
just declined to shovel some dirt
for my wife on the grounds that
I read the newspapers and am
fully aware of the dangers ef a
shovel, although I wish to say
X don’t rely on Washington to
do my thinking and I declined to
use a Shovel years before Mr.
Kennedy tried his hand at it,
“Mellerdrammer”
To Be Presented
By Waco Players
The Summer Players, a sum-
mer stock company of Waco,
will present an old fashioned
“meller drammer,” “Rebel’s Re-
venge” on Friday and Saturday
night beginning July 14 and con-
tinuing for four weekends. Pro-
ceeds of the show will go to the
Council for Retarded Children
in Central Texas.
Rebel’s Revenge is a Civil
War tale involving the notorious
nets of Simon. S Steward, a no-
torious Northern spy who seeks
to win the hand of Beulah Belle
Blissworthy, a Southern Bell and
fiance of Captain Barney B.
Beauregard, the hero of the
story. The story is spiced with
both humourous and senile
characters, with the hero al-
ways winning in the end
The production will be staged
in three acts in the usual melo-
draiiia cabret style with novelty
acts interspersed between the
three main acts. Romi Witts-
trunk, directing the play, says
that the cast will try to recreate
the atmosphere of the old time
melodrama shows and the audi-
ence will be encouraged to have
fun by hissing the villan and
cheering the hero and heroine.
Starring in the show are ex-
perienced civic and summer
theater performers, M. A. Taylor,
Jim Cchr.ctel, Ltasca Womack,
Dick Moore, Camilla Crane, Bob
Howard, Jean stingel, Francis
Taylor and Henry Snyder. A11
these performers have been seen
in many Civic Theater produc-
tions.
The production will be staged
at Waco Civic Theater located at
Lake Air and Bosque Boulevard
in Waco. Tickets are $1.50 each,
and may be secured at the Thea-
ter or at Disc Record Shop,
and Elite Cafe in downtown
Waco. Also mail orders may be
accepted by sending check or
money order to Waco Civic
Theater, P. O. Box 1581, Waco.
and pulled out a newspaper I
Siald been saving for just such an
emergency and read an article
that interested me.
According to it, an experi-
mental plant has been put into
operation changing salt water
out of the ocean to fresh, drink-
able water, and several more
plants are being built. e
Eventually, the article said,
sea water can be de-salted so
efficiently and cheaply that it
will be available for city use, in-
dustrial use, and maybe even
finally for agricultural use.
It was this last use that in-
terests me. According to one
speculative article on this, one
day pipes carrying ocean water
will be run all over tthe country
and all a farmer will have to do
when he needs a rain is turn on
a hydrant and irrigate his crops.
This, it said, will whip the wa-
ter problem and make farming
one of the easiest jobs on earth.
I am afraid tihe fellow who
thought that up is a little over-
enthusiastic.
In the first place, farming is
(farming, which is to say work,
whether you get your moisture
out of a pipe or out of the
clouds.
In the second place, if some-
body runs a pipe with de-salted
sea water out to my farm, I have
a notion that just on the far
side of the hydrant he’ll install
a meter, and before he turns the
water on, he’ll come up to my
'house and want a substantial
deposit. Then when water flows
ever my farm, the meter will
start clicking and it won’t be a
free gift from the clouds but
another bill to face on the first
of the month. I’m not saying it
shouldn’t be this way, all I’m
saying is that it won’t make
tanning the easiest job on earth.
The only way to make, farming
easy is to farm like I do, but I
don’t recommend the method
if the world wants to keep eating.
Yours faithfully,
J. A.
Contract Raising
For Dairy Herds
College Station — Several Tex-
as dairymen have shown an in-
terest in having their herd re-
placements raised on contract by
Ifarmers who specialize in heifer
raising, says A. M. Meekma, ex-
tension dairy specialist.
Most Grade A milk producers
have good quality, high produc-
ing cows, tlie specialist pointed
out. Many producers do not wish
to raise their own heifers, how-
ever, because they can make
more profitable use of their
space and facilities by increas-
ing the size of their milking
herd. By having someone else
raise these heifers, the dairy-
nun is able to 'use his own heif-
ers as herd replacements.
On the other hand, some
dairymen lack the necessary
capital and facilities for pro-
ducing Grade A milk. In this
situation, they can make profit-
able use of their buildings, land
and labor by raising heifers as
herd replacements for other
farmers Heifer raising provides
a good economical outlet for
forage and grain which would
otherwise have to be sold.
Several different types of
heifer raising contracts are in
use, the specialist continues.
Contracts used by owners and
growers should be written to fit
the specific needs of the parties
concerned.
Methods of payment for grow-
ing the replacements are num-
erous. Some owners use an op-
tion - to - purchase contract!
which gives them the first op-
tion to buy back the heifers they
sold the grower.
Other contracts base the
charge on a monthly payment.
Still another type of contract
calls for the grower to be paid
for each pound of grain, with
the price paid based on the pre-
vailing market price of beef.
In all cases, heifer growers
agree to use recommended' prac-
tices in raising the replacement,
in seme cases, the exact feeding
recommendations are written
into the contract. Growers are
also reasponsibie for seeing that
the heifers are vaccinated, bred
and blood-tested at the proper
time, Meekma concludes.
