Cunyus Named Turkey Show
Official; Knows Texas Fowls
Paul A, Cunyus, Associate Dean
at John Tarleton, who has been
named an official on the show com-
mittee for the Southwest Turkey
Breeders Exposition which will be
held in Fort Worth Nov, 21-23, ac-
cording to a recent Star-Telegram
stpry, has 'an impressive back-
ground in Texas turkey breeding
circles.
Employed as State Extension
Poultryman following the receipt
of his Master's Degree in Poultry
and Dairy husbandry at Texas A.
&. M. in 1930, he became interest-
ed in a concerted movement for the
improvement of grading turkeys
in Texas..
Early Texas Turkeys Poor
As a supervisor for all inspect-
ing and grading of turkeys Cunyus
realized that, although the aver-
age quality of Texas turkeys then
was not what it should be, the tur-
nkey trade was not yet ready for
standard grading.
At San Angelo in October of
1930 Dean Cunyus was instrumen-
tal in starting the practice of
grading according to U. S. stand-
ards, and the next year he laid fur-
ther foundations by going directly
to the source of production, the
turkey breeders, and placing em-
phasis on cooperative marketing.
Cunyus Taught Turkey Schools
Conducting 60 to 75 one-day
turkey grading schools annually
throughout Texas, Dean Cunyus
made turkey raisers awar6 that
they would benefit by central mar-
keting whej*e high quality turkeys
would be paid for oji the basis of
quality, There were two aims in
the promotion of' these schools:
first, to introduce producers to
raise better turkeys; and second,
to provide markets that would pay
for quality.
As a result producers who at-
tended his schools in Brownwood,
Brady, Cuero, San Antonio, Fort
Worth, Denton, Plainview, Well-
ington, and other towns in turkey
raising areas began demanding re-
lief from "hog-around" type of
buying, which failed to put prem-
iums on quality. ^
Baby-Beef is Introduced
The biggest factor contributing
to the rise of the turkey-raising
industry in Texas in the last 1G
years was the introduction of the
"baby-beef", or broad-breasted,
turkey, Contributing to the indus-
try's recognition was the turkey
s&iow in Plainview, Texas, in 1937,
where national competition placed
the emphasis upon quality of birds
in dressed condition.
Cooperative pools for marketing
turkeys in Oklahoma. N. Mexico,
and Texas, in 1937 employed Dean
Cunyus as their general manager.
Deciding to procure an outstanding
type of bird entered in the show
from Washington State in 1936;
they sent Cunyus to the northwest
to procure and bring back as many
of these turkeys as possible for
breeding purposes.
Breeding Shows Results
Immediate results in the fall of
1938 showed the birds to be out-
standing and greatly in demand by
all turkey breeders. Today Texas
leads the nation in quality and an-
nually sells millions of broad-
breasted turkey eggs to Northern
hatcheries.
Dean Cunyus, who today teaches
a course in Agricultural Economics
at John Tarleton, has long been
noted among Texas agricultural
experts. After graduating from
Texas A. & M, in; 1927. he became
assistant county agent in Bexar
county with headquarters in San
Antonio. He was in charge of all
boys agricultural clubs, and sup
ervised the Southwest egg laying
contest which compared in size to
the John Tarleton egg laying con-
test.
Resigning in 1929- he returned,
on a teaching fellowship, to Texas
A. & M. to study for his Masters
Degree in Poultry and Dairy Hus-
bandry.

In the home economics depart-
ment at Tarleton, a \Wde variety
in the choice of vocations is offer-
ed. The major fields are textiles
and clothing, foods and nutrition,
and costume design and home -plan-
ning.
The basic courses as. outlined give
the first two years college train-
ing for such careers as homemak-
ing, home demonstration, dietitian,
institutional management, costume
design, interior decoration, nursery
school supervision, teaching, home
economics in journalism, clothing
specialist, and research in textiles
or in foods.
The first year in all major fields
is general and uniform. Specializa-
tion begins in the second year of
college work.
Majors in the various fields take
courses in natural and social scien-
ces and arts applied to the prob-
lems growing out of home life as
well as corses which broaden their
cultural interests and provide for
general homemaking education.
In the foods department, stu-
dents plan and serve meals for
people of all ages, for the work-
ing man, and for other groups with
varied food requirements and with
different income levels. The serv-
ing of light party menus is a part
of this experience also.
In the clothing department the
students weave as well as design
and make patterns and garments.
They study the structure of fibers,
yarns, and materials with the mi-
croscope and chemicals. They also
learn to judge" the quality of ma-
terial and construction of house-
hold linens and clothing for the
family.
A budget of the family income
is planned to cover clothing, food,
and housing needs.
In the applied art department,
the principles of art and color are
applied to the designing of cloth-
ing, home planning, and house
furnishing.
A tallyho is a four-in-hand coach,
or one pulled by four horses, the
reins-of - which are so arranged as
to be held in one hand.

APOLLO CHOIR
WILL BE HERE
THIS MONTH
The Apollo Boy's Choir will give
the first performance of the year
in the Tarleton auditorim some-
time this month. The exact date
has not been set and will be an-
nounced in a later edition of the
j-Tac.
One of the few boy's choirs in
the nation, this a-capella will ap-
pear here as part of the Tarleton
Civic Series, and civic series cards
will be honored. Admission prices
for those who have not bought sea-
son tickets will be $2.00.
- Morton Praises Choir
While explaining the program,
Morton, head of Tarleton's- music
department, stated "Since the choir
uses all male voices, boy sopranos
sing the upper pitches. The quality
of a boy soprano voice has a charm
that is all its own. It is sweeter
and clearer than the feminine so-
prano."
Further, he stated, "there are
very few boy choirs, and to hear
one of their performances in a
lifetime is a good record."
"The performance," he stated,
"will be a memorable evening for
all who attend it not only because
of its rarety but also because of
the exceptionally fine work of the
organization.''

Dallas Symphony
- Istanbul, Turkey was first known
as Byzantium, and later "as Con-
stantinople.
An ambition of eight years stand-
ing was realized this year by Wer-
ner Gebauer, concertmaster of the
Dallas Symphony Orchestra, when
he -was able to bring bis parents
from war-torn Austria to Texas.
The handsome young concertmaster
will play with the Symphony when
it appears in the College Aditor-
ium, November 4, under the aspices
of Tarleton Civic Series.
Since Gebauer escaped from Na-
zi dominated Austria in 1938, he
has dreamed of bringing his par-
ents, Baron and Baroness Wilhelm
von Gebauer, to his new home in
Texas. After years of privation
and torture in concentration camps
they are at present settled on a
three-acre farm near Dallas. The
former Austrian Minister of Edu-
cation and his wife are content-to
drop their titles- and be plain Mr,
and Mrs.
Werner Gebauer became an Am-
erican citizen in 1943 and short-
ly after joined the U. S. Army
where he rose to the rank of First
Lieutenant. After his discharge,
he toured the war zones for USO.
Werner Gebauer is a soloist of
note. He has appeared with the Na-
tional Symphony Orchestra in
Washington, D. 0,, and received
acclaim when he appeared in con-
cert at New Yorlc City's. Town Hall
in 1945, In Dallas last season, he
was presented in concert under the
auspices of the Community Course
and as soloist with the Dallas Sym-
phony.

lin at the age of nine and at 13
made his debut in recital in Berlin.
