Research Papers To Scientists
Hollis Alford assistant profess-
or of Biology in Howard Payne
will appear before the Texas
Academy of Science which will be-
held on the campus of Southern
Methodist University November
30 through December 2 Mr. Al-
ford has been asked to read the
paper which he compiled for his
Master's Degree thesis. His chos-
en subject is "A Bacterial Analy-
sis of Rural Drinking Water in
Nacogdoches County Texas.
The Texas Academy of Science
is composed of men who are out-
standing are well-known through-
out the state in their field. Dr.
Ponerate Director of Medical Re-
search at the University of Tex
as is the chairman of the group.
Mr. Alford obtained the ma-
terial for this paper through a
study of water samples from
Nacogdoches County lie said.
Mr. Alford said one of the prim-
ary purposes of his study was to
find indications of organisms in
the water which would suggest
pollution. He added that these
indications might reveal the pres-
ence and determine the danger
of Typhoid and other water-born
diseases in the water.
Mr. Alford stated that his study
revealed a veiy poor condition
prevailing in the rural water in
the county. Indications led him
to believe that there was possibil-
ity of pollution.
Alford said that the morality
rate was weighed by this factor.
Pollution and disease areas show
the influence of the water-born
diseases while the morality rate
is higher where the county lias
specific combat and preventative
methods lie added.
Mr. Alford said that a long-
range purpose of tins study was
in seeking a cheaper method to
chlorinate water. Tins work has
not developed enough Alford
said to describe the proposed
method.
Alford received his Master's De-
gree from Stephen F Austin Col-
lege August 21 and came to How
ard Payne to assist Dr. Sanders in
the Biology Department. Mr.
Alford is a former student of
Howard Payne College.

week that Howard Payne had re-
cicved outstanding publicity on
her "Ten Years of Progress" pro
gram Homecoming activities and
building campaign throughout the

daily papers have carried accounts
of the Homecoming program
which we are having on the cam-
pus he said.
Contacts with former students
have also been made by Dr. Brian
through letters and other personal
means prior to these activities.
"I feel that a conservative esti-
mate of one thousand exes will be
on the campus this week-end for
Homecoming" stated Dr Brian.
'Those added to the many friends
who will attend doubtless will
make the largest crowd of all
times to attend any function of
Howard Payne College.
The present student body is ex
pected to be present for the cele
bration and to render every co-
operation to make this day a suc-
cess" Brian said. Tiie present
students will want to meet visit-
ors and guests on the campus"
Brian suggested.
The reception of the "Ten Years
Program of Progress" which start-
ed underway this fall in the
sixty-first year of college service
from the people in Brownwood
and from throughout the entire
state has been gratifying indeed
Dr. Brian added.
Reports of convictions from
thoughout the state come into the
Publicity office daily and from all
over the United States to the
effect that friends and former
students of Howard Payne are
highly pleased with this ambitious
program for progress of the col-
lege. "Everyone speaks with con-
viction that the program has chal-
lenge and yet with every possibil-
ity to bring it to pass."
