Otis Gamer has cleared
another 40 acres on his
place between West Point
and Muldoon. Since becom-
ing a cooperator of the Fay-
ette Soil Conservation Dis-
trict about one year ago,
Garner has cleared 132
acres of post oak land. Of
these areas cleared, 52 acres
has been seeded to NK-37
Bermuda grass and *40 acres
has been sprigged to Coas-
tal Bermuda gra§s.. The 52
acres of NK-37 Bermuda has
be«« '4ertthxed‘--srtHi the 40
acres of Coastal will be fer-
tilized next winter.
Wm. Cherry and his moth-
er, Mrs. Wallace Cherry,
have been properly using
their native rangeland by
grazing so as to leave more
than one half of each year’s
growth of grasses. By stock-
ing pastures light, _ such
grasses as Little Bluestem,
Brownseed Paspalum and
some Indian and Switch
grasses have made good
growth. Old plants from
last year can still be found.
Both young and larfre* old
plants can be found which
is a good indicator that the
range is improving. Little
Bluestem has made a good
return on areas that have
been bulldozed. Cherry has
been spraying some post oak
timber with 245T. Good re-
sults have been obtained
and grasses have responded
in areas sprayed. *• .
Dr. Salk Coins A Word: Bionauts
“Super stars” of science
will make up the research
team of the Salk Institute
for Biological Studies.
Dr. Jonas Salk, who will
direct the Institute at San
Diego, Calif., quite often
draws analogies between
sports and science.
He once said, modestly refer-
ring to his historic role in de-
veloping the polio vaccine, that
“I just happened to be in the
1U
right place to
forward pass.
catch a long
Institute faculty members are
"the Mickey Mantles of science
—they can hit home runs from
either side of the plate. Dr. Salk
points out that in recruiting his
Institute Fellows he searched
for and found versatile* scien-
tists “who have all been trained
in a field other than that in
which they are working today.”
Bill Rhcman has about 50
acres of Summer Peas plant-
ed on land that was put in
the grain program this year.
Rheman is a cooperator who
lives at Plum. He planted
the peas this summer in
order to get some soil im-
provemept while his land
has been taken out of crop
production.

The annual, supervisor
election which 'WiH be held
ija aiiH/iiviainn .-NjQ d.. of i.he
TTa v'oftb Set) wilt "be oil Tues-~f
day, Oct. 2, 1962. This elec-
tion will be field . at the
Freyburg Hall at 8 p; m.
Subdivision 4 is that part of
Fayette County lying south
of the Colorado River and
between’ the La Grange-
Schulenburg highSvay and
the T&NO Railroad. Emil
Zemlicka is supervisor from
this subdivision.
Varied Abilities
They possess more than one
skill or field of -knowledge.
They are not limited to biology.
Some of the 10 Fellows already
appointed are equally at home
in higher mathematics and
physics, or history and litera-
ture.
This unique combination of
professional skills, versatility,
imagination and intellectual
curiosity has been described by
many as the magic formula
needed today to achieve the
conquest of disease—from the
common cold to cancer. They
believe .firmly that an assault
..on-disease- of the:. kind*a»4 modern. —Ar--highlyspeeiai-
magnitude planned by Dr. Sqjk ized .reference library on biol-
and his colleagues could p«ve
the way to revolutionary break-
throughs.
Just as the Mickey Mantles
depend on the baseball fans
who pay their way through the
turnstiles, construction of the
Salk Institute will depend on
contributions from q*. general
public.
$15 Million Goal
This summer all across the
nation a campaign is in full
swing to raise $15,000,000 to
build and equip the Institute.
The drive is sponsored by The
National Foundation through
the March of Dimes. It is a
renewal of the partnershiiTbe-
tween all Americans and Dr.
Salk — the man who did so
much for them in-developing
the polio vaccine, and^will do
Dr. Szilard
the Institute, Dr. Salk has
coined the word‘-"bionauts.” “If
we can speak of astronauts,” he
asks, “why can’t we think of
‘bionauts’ — scientists who are
capable of doing in biology
what has now been done in the
fields of space and of atomic
physics?” He envisages the
Salk Institute as a sort of
launching pad for the gifted
“bionauts” of the scientific
world who will comprise his
faculty.
The conditions under which
the Salk Institute “bionauts”
will pursue their studies are
probably unique. The physical
as well as the intellectual at-
mosphere of the Institute has
been designed so that the in-
dividual-scientist can concen-
trate fplly on productive work
and thought. Laboratory equip-
ment will of course be the most
lected thus far are entering the
stage of their most productive
period. Their average age is
49 years but seven of the 10 are
even younger.
Dr. Warren Weaver, vice
president of the Alfred P. Sloan,
Foundation and a Salk Insti-
tute Nonresident Fellow who is-
often described as the “elder
statesman of American medical
research,” is 67; but Dr. Melvin
Cohn, a famed American bio-
chemist now with the Pasteur
Institute of Paris, and a Salk
Institute Resident Fellow, is
only 38.

Pioneering Projects _ „
In most great universities and
other research centers scien-
tists are obliged to invest a
great deal of their time in
teaching and in administrative
detail. There will be none of
these time-consuming duties
for the faculty of the Salk In-
stitute. Its members Will spend
all of their time on pioneering
projects. Moreover, they will
nave complete freedom to
launch whatever projects they
elect and may change the di

A-Bomb Architect * ..
Dr. Leo Szilard, iong-time
professor of biophysics at the
University of Chicago and gelfi-
brated worldwide as one of the
“architects of the atomic bomb,
a Nonresident Fellow, is 63. But
Drr Bdwffl t .pnnmt, ao Amen.-. -
can microbiologist now also on
leave at the Pasteur Institute,
and a Resident Fellow, is only

Dr. Jacob Bronowski, of Lon-
don, a Resident Fellow who is
well known in the United
States for his books and lec-
tures, is 54. His versatility is
outstanding — in mathematics,
philosophy and history.
Dr. Salk has rem&iked that
the professional and cultural
interests of the Fellows hap-
pily overlap. At a recent meet-
ing of several of these scientists
in New York City, they chatted
with vivacity of organizing
competing, string quartets at
Salk Institute next year, of
the
sailing and swimming in th
•Pacific, even of shooting a
round of golf now and then.

No one thinks of awards when disaster strikes.
Nor can good emerge from the wreckage of a
disaster such as Carla. But the Vail Award to
employees of Southwestern Bell does empha-
size the good relationship between Southwest-
ern people and the customers they serve.
Thanks again to you — our customers — for
your patience, understanding and cooperation
— which helped make possible the biggest tele-
