Airlift Buckskin
Begins In Austin
Austin — “Airlift Buckskin”
got its reactivation papers to-
day, so now the United States
Air Force Reserve again will
team up with Texas public and
civilian agencies to expedite
tanning of donated deer hides
for therapeutic treatment of
tuberculosis patients.
Colonel Walter B. Magness,
Commander of the Austin Air
Reserve Center, announced that
authority was received from
Fourteenth Air Force Head-
irie, Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Terrell, quarters whereby training time
Mrs. Joe Fridel and daughter | will be utilized to fly the green
hides from the state concentra-
tion point in Austin to a tanning
factory of the West Coast.
The aerial transport will be
provided, said Colonel Mag-
ness, by the famed Alamo Wing
quartered at Brooks Air Force
Base, San Antonio, commanded
by Brigadier General John H.
Foster. Alamo Wing crews last
year initiated "Airlift Buck-
skin” by flying two tons of the
green hides to San Francisco.
The deer skins, donated by
Texas hunters under an elabor-
ate system set up by private
agencies including Sportsmen’s
Clubs of Texas, are urgently
needed to aid restoration of
hundreds of patients to normal
health.
Utilization of training mis-
sions by the United States Air
Force Reserve to speed up final
processing of the pelts has been
credited by the Volunteer State
Council for Texas Tuberculosis
Hospitals with tremendously
expediting the program. Com-
mittee Chairman, Joseph Hen-
nessy of San Antonio, said,
“motor freight carriers over the
years have contributed equip-
ment to bring the hides from all
over the state to Austin, but
that a severe bottleneck de-
veloped in the final processing

College Station Planning to
buy a new coat or suit for the
holidays? - or perhaps you’re
counting on “post-season” sales
to reinforce the wardrobe with
an extra suit or coat.
Choose carefully, suggests ex-
tension clothing specialists. Mis-
takes in selection are often cost-
ly, especially in garments which
must be worn over a period of
years. Consider the climate, your
activities and the amount of
money you expect to spend. Un-
less you can afford two coats
or suits for the season, you will
not expect to buy a dressy one.
The casual or sport type Is more
suitable for general wear.
Look for becoming styles with
good lines, in basic colors and
designs. Extreme or high-style
features or colors will “date”
the garment. Make certain it
fits into the basic color scheme
of your present wardrobe. In-
vest in a firm fabric that will
not stretch and bag at the hip or
elbows. The lining should be of
good quality, well fitted and
smorfth. i
Examine workmanship care-
fully. All seams should be well
stitched, facings and other
finishes neat and well fitted.
F, stenlngs should be durable,
pleasing in appearance and
.sewed on securely. ,
The type of trimming affects
the initial cost, a.s well as the
upkeep and durability of the
garment. It should be attractive,
durable and easy to care for.
braid, stitching, tucks and self-
decoration, seldom add to the
cost of cleaning. They generally
wear as long as the fabric.
Read all labels carefully be-
fore you buy.

Car Bargains
May Be Coining
Although reports indicate that
combined automobile sales for
September and October ran
about fifteen per cent hijffier
than combined sales in the two
months in 1956. the straws in
the wind point to car bargains
in the next three or four months.
Right now the new 1958 mod-
els are out and many dealers
are still pressing the sale of
1957 models at a discount rate.
It is vital, if dealers and the
automobile producers are to
have a good year, that sales re-
main strong in 1958.
However, the country is exper-
iencing a recessionary trend and
the key to the future in the au-
tomobile industry may be found
in a recent survey on the cur-
rent inventory of new cars.
A survey conducted shows
463,978 new cars on hand as of
November 1st. This compares
with 277,975 cars on the same
date in 1956.
According to current indica-
tions, the inventory will climb
to about 700,000 cars by Jan. 1.
This would be 200,000 cars above
the January 1st, 1957 inventory.
Unless sales really hum, this in-
ventory is going to force a cut-
back in production and become
the reason for long trades from
various automobile dealers.
If the resession takes a pretty
firm hold, in spite of increased
defense spending, and a mood of
caution settles over many citi-
zens, prospective buyers might
postpone their purchase and
dealers might find the.r-selves in
a mood to make highly attrac-
tive offers.
An Idea
“Have you seen those new
watch straps made of ermine
and mink?” asked the lady of
the house as she looked up from
the newspaper ads “Yes, dear,”
blandly replied friend husband,
“but I don’t think they are rug-
ged enough to clasp the wrist
of one doing important house-
work.” — Christian Science

Visitors in the home of Mr.

until the Air Reserve committed
their training missions to the
vital haulage link.”
“This meritorious program
has contributed toward restoring
many good people to useful ef-
fort,” said Colonel Magness.
‘And the USAF is proud to be
able to help in the Inimanitari-
an work."
Five hundred officers trained
in field of science will be added
to the ranks of the Navy and
Marine Corps annually under
a new educational program1 an-
nounced today by Secretary of
Navy Thomas S. Gates. Begin-
ning with the school year 1958-
1959, that number of enlisted
men will be enrolled in civilian
institutions of higher learning
in four year courses leading to
a degree ol B.S. and to commis-
sion in the Navy.
Emphasis in their studies will
be placed on math and physic-
al science. During the summer
vacation periods students will
be assigned to Navy laboratories
and other scientific establish-
ments to study application of
the sciences.
The basis of selection of en-
listed men for this higher study
will be intelligence and aptitude.
Those considered qualified but
who lack sufficient high school
credits for college entrance will
be given opportunity to earn
these credits.
Students will receive the pay
and allowances of their rates
while attending college. The
Navy Department will pay cost
of their education. They will be
required to remain on active
duty as officers for a period
equal to the time they are en-
rolled in the program.
Selection board consisting of
Naval officers and civilians ex-
perienced in the field of edu-
cation will be convened to pass
upon applicants for the new
program. Those selected will be
offered for enrollment in college
and universities subject to the
rules of the institutions con-
cerned.
Have a wonderful Jioliday time, friends and
neighbors! Here’s hoping that your Christ-
mas will be the merriest and brightest ever.
