Kryl To Bring His Orchestra
Here On November 1 4 .
Life History Of Famous
Musician Is Given;
Plays In WPA Hall
Kryl, who is to appear here at
the head of his famous Symphony
Orchestra on Monday evening,
Nov. 14, in Graves Center (WPA
Hall), is a unique personality. He
began his musical career at the
bottom. He is now at the top. He
reached his present position by
his own efforts and his possession
of two qualities that are necessary
to success in any profession,
whether it be that of lawyer, doc­tor,
painter or musician, namely,
tireless industry and confidence
in self. Kryl has an unlimited ca­pacity
for hard work.
During his playing seasons,
which usually run from about
August to February, his ordinary
working day consists of from six­teen
to eighteen hours. But it is
during the preparatory weeks im­mediately
prior to the opening of
his season that the untiring energy
of this man is best shown. At this
period the calls upon his time ne­cessitated
by daily rehearsals of
his orchestra, the makeup of pro­grams
the two hours given over to
musical composition and the su­pervision
of his large business de­partment,
all combine to make
such a day's work as would tax
the energies of ten able-bodied
men.
This is only one side of the
many-sided Kryl. The musical side
is most intimately seen at the re­hearsals.
When one sees him there,
one would not recognize the Kryl
of thirty minutes before. At re­hearsals
he is the musician pure
and simple. There he puts aside
all thought of business and gives
himself over entirely to his music.
Kryl conducts invariably without
a music score and as a Liszt Sym­phonic
Poem follows an intricate
Rhapsody of Overture, one stands
amazed at the wonderful techni­cal
knowledge displayed. But it
is in his authoritative readings of
the great musical classics, one sees
his innate genius and musical
training at their best.
In his interpretation of modern
music one sees his imaginative and
creative power, and feels here is
the real man in his natural sphere.
It is easy to see that he believes
in himself and is great enough
to defy precedent. It is this daring
to set his own standards, in the
musical pictures he creates, that
the tremendous force of his indi­viduality
is unerringly shown.
Dorothy Dickerson, the world
famous soprano will appear on this
program in Operatic arias and in
songs which will appeal greatly
to the music public.

Mass Meeting Will
Be Held Tomorrow
Representatives of the coaching
staff and of the team will address
the student body at the pep rally
tomorrow night, to be held in

are leaving on the 7:55 train Wed­nesday
night. For this reason
Charlie O'Reilly and his corps
hope to have an overflow crowd
at the auditorium, upperclass-as
well as freshmen.
Present plans call for speeches
by Coach Dell Morgan and three
Tiger players. Of course the fa­mous
Auburn band will be there
to add to the occasion, and O'Reil­ly
will lead the crowd in yells.
After this the band will lead the
students down to the station and
give the Bengals a rousing send-off.
Students are urged to bring cow
bells and other implements for a
huge manifestation of enthusiasm.

the unbeaten Roanoke team Fri­day
afternoon at 2:30. All college
students who care to attend are
cordially invited to be present.

Auburn Spirit
By Laurens Pierce
Well gang, we did it again.
That little show of enthusiasm
last night was a pretty good
example of that true Auburn
Spirit. And then, too, it was
a darn good way to show how
well we keep our promises and
stick to our word. "The real
Auburn Spirit . . . Putting that
excess energy and pep where it
will do most good . . . Good
sportsmanship and gentlemanly
conduct . . ." That's what we
showed 'em last night in that
little Halloween celebration up
town.
Say, you know I think those
little pranks we played on 'em
were pretty good. Of course, the
school will have to suffer the
blame and hear the expense of
replacing that "somebody
else's" property that we broke
up and damaged, but we don't
care . . . What's the "good name"
of our Alma Mater in compari­son
to a little fun . . . Why
should we think of the school?
And talking about fun, we did
have that, didn't we? That car
we almost wrecked kept me
laughing for a long time. Boy
oh boy! It would have been a
laugh if that girl hadn't ducked
and missed that miniture tree
trunk somebody threw into the
crowd. Why, we could have call­ed
the ambulance and made a
lot of fuss . . . Well, if she got
hurt, it wasn't our fault; we
didn't throw that limb . . .
Somebody else did. I saw 'em.
And say, I guess we showed
"Chief" a thing or two. What
does he think he can do? . . .
Make us obey the law? That's
a good one; why everybody
knows we aren't supposed to
keep the law. We're Auburn
students, and that makes a lot
of difference. Whoever heard
of us taking a thing like that?
Only sissies go in for that sort
of stuff . . . I guess we showed
'em all right!
And by the way, getting back
to that real Auburn Spirit, it
looks as if we got the time
mixed up. The team got back
Sunday night and so last night's
show was a little late.
And while I'm thinking about
it . . . You know what happened
to my car last night? Some dirty
little bunch of hoodlums smear­ed
soap all over the windshield
and drew pictures on the body
with wax. I had to have the
whole thing washed and pol­ished
and it cost me a good dol­lar
and a half, too. There ought
to be a law about kids doing a
thing like that. We pay taxes,
and should be entitled to
a little police protection, but in­stead,
we have to put up with
those kids that go around mo -
lesting other people's property
. . . Like I said at first, it just
ain't right.
NOTICE
The Girls' Glee Club will not
meet this afternoon. The time of
future meetings will be announced
later in the Plainsman.
'Herndon McGehee Is Fourth
Member Of Family To Make
High Scholastic Record
Herndon McGehee, sophomore
in business administration and
son of Dr. and Mrs. Robert Bruce
McGehee of Troy, is the fourth
member of his family to make an
excellent scholarship record at the
Alabama Polytechnic Institute.
After making the highest ave­rage
for student in business ad­ministration
during the freshman
year, 95.69, he was this week a-warded
the Delta Sigma Pi's scho­larship
cup by Dr. John W. Scott,
dean of the School of Science and
Literature. "Mr. McGehee's rec­ord
is most remarkable," said
Dean Scott.
His brother, Robert Bruce Mc­Gehee
Jr., who received his mas­ter's
degree here last August at the
age of 21, is one of the youngest
students ever to obtain this degree
at Auburn. Two of his sisters, Mrs.
James L, Greene of Auburn and
Mrs. Sam W. Westbrook of Lang-ley
Field, Va., graduated at Au­burn
in recent years with high
scholarship records.
Ag Students Urged
To Vary Their
Plan Of Study
Medlock, Soils Expert,
Urges Ag Club Members
To Diversify Training
By K. W. Gay
"Boys, train yourslves now for
more than one phase of agricul­tural
work because you do not
know what you will want to do
in the future," advised O. C. Med­lock,
state coordinator of soil con­servation,
to the Ag Club last
week. "I was once interested
in horticulture but now I am in
soil conservation work.
"You farm boys know that we
are faced with a problem in Ala­bama.
You know what the runoff
water after rains is taking out of
your pockets indirectly by erod­ing
your dad's land which will
soon be yours. Erosion alone has
rendered 930,000 acres of land un­profitable
for cultivation in Ala­bama.
"By a series of demonstration
projects in cooperation with the
extension service we are trying to
show the farmer how he can put
his land to the most profitable use.
For land sloping up to 10 per cent
we recommend rotation of strip,
thick, and row cropping. Land
sloping from 10 to 15 per cent
should be planted in some crop,
perennial crop, such as lespede-za
or kudzu. This year the soil
conservation service plans to plant
5,000,000 plants for farmers or
make them available and let the
farmer plant them. Land exceed­ing
15 per cent slope is best util­ized
by timber. Ninety per cent of
the; forestry problem is the pre­vention
of fire."
John Rice outlined the experi­ment
station work in Alabama. In
addition to the central station at
Auburn, there are five sub-sta­tions
and many experiment fields
over the state. The diversity is
due to the wide variety of soil
types and climatic conditions
found over the state.

with honors in Engineering at
Alabama Polytechnic Institute in
1909.
For several years after his grad­uation,
Mr. Thomas was with the
U. S. Engineering Service at Nor­folk
and New Orleans. Here he
was actively connected with the

Scarab To Sponsor
'Sketch Week'
• At a meeting last night of the
members of the Scarab, national
honorary architectural fraternity,
a unanimous vote was taken to
sponsor "Sketch Week," a compe­tition
for all students in the School
of Architecture and Allied Arts
for the best sketch done.
The contest opened with the de
cision to sponsor it and closes
Tuesday, Nov. 8. All contestants
must have their sketches in by 5
p. m. Tuesday, the deadline for
the contest.
To make the competition fairer
in all respects, two groups of prizes
are to be given. The first and sec­ond
year students will compete
in one class, and the third, fourth,
and fifth year students.in the oth­er.
Cash awards will be given for
the two best sketches in both
classes and a medal for the grand
prize of either class.
Full rules for the contest will be
posted in the architecture build­ing.
There is only one restriction
that differentiates between the
two classes, and that is that those
in the higher classes will be lim­ited
to water colors only.
The sketches will be judged the
Wednesday following the close of
the contest, and winners announ­ced
that day. After that, the win­ning
sketches will be sent to the
National Scarab Contest to com­pete
in the finals of all the schools
represented by a chapter of the
Scarabs.
Last year, the first prize of the
national finals was won by Chris
Risher, fifth year architectual
student here.
The judges for this contest will
be composed of members of the
faculty in the School of Architec­ture
and Allied Arts.

For Freshman Ears
Too often freshmen are flooded with too
much advice during the first week or two
of their college career, and after that they
a r e t u r n e d loose w i t h t h e idea t h a t they need
no more friendly warnings. Thinking that a
l i t t l e scattering of this advice over their
first year would be helpful, we are going
to indulge in some mid-semester advice.
The freshman everywhere is p r e t t y much
t h e same kind of animal. In Virginia he is
called a goat; out in Ohio he is a funk; in
Hoosierland he answers to rhynie; here he
is simply a rat. In many places he is made
to belittle himself, to admit that he is t r u ly
t h e lowest scum of the earth. But we do
not believe that on any college campus he
is disliked. We really like h im here.
If freshmen here do nothing else in col­lege,
they should open their books. Believe
i t or not, it really pays. This idea of "any­t
h i n g above a 70 is wasted" is a vicious one.
E x t r a - c u r r i c u l a r activities are stimulating
—if taken in moderation. Otherwise they in­toxicate.
A lot of meaningless campus "hon­ors"
are so many goat feathers. And too of­t
e n the possessor of these "honors" is a mere
J o e College Babbitt.
College first, self second should be the
motto of all college men. We a r e not afraid to
shout that. If a student is loyal to his alma
mater, it follows, as drop notices follow ex­cessive
absences, that he will be a better
man and a credit to his institution.
For decades men have been turning to
Auburn as a shrine for inspection. Registra­tion
to Auburn is t h e open sesame to a mul­t
i t u d e of happy hours. Go in for your col­lege.
Absorb its history; read its publica­tions;
l e a r n its songs; meet men; respect and
like your fraternity brothers and friends
when they provoke you and forgive them
when they make asses of themselves; strive
to get a broad campus viewpoint.
Above all, be yourself. Even the scum of
t h e e a r t h can do that.
Fraternity Homes
Perhaps the most outstanding change in
t h e college f r a t e r n i t y has been its develop­ment
into a friendly organization actively
cooperating with other f r a t e r n i t i e s and other
agencies for the progress of the educational
i n s t i t u t i on of which it is a part.
Secrecy is no longer the dominant char­acteristic
of college fraternities; in fact, less
and less emphasis is being placed on that. We
like the custom here of designing fraternity
houses so that they suggest homes dedicated
to the development of friendship r a t h e r than
temples sacred to ritualistic rites. In the
past the usual f r a t e r n i t y house has been to
austere, too institution-like to suggest a
home. And after all the chief purpose of the
f r a t e r n i t y house is to be a home. Especially
in the East and North fraternity house in­t
e r i o r s were more suggestive of formal draw­ing
rooms rather than lounges that would
generate a cordial, friendly spirit.
A f r a t e r n i t y house is not a club house; it
is not a hotel; it is not a dormitory; it is not
a formal mansion. It is above all things else
a home, and unless it expresses the warmth,
cordiality, and fellowship of a heathstone,
a r c h i t e c t u a l l y and otherwise, it is a failure.
Editor H. L. Upshaw of The Eufaula Tri­bune
says in his p a t i e n t and kindly way:
Assistant General Passenger Agent W. W.
Snow of the Atlanta and West Point Rail­road
Company has submitted a bill to Presi­dent
Duncan of Auburn for $80 damage done
by Auburn students when they went by spec­ial
train to the Auburn-Mississippi State foot­ball
game in Montgomery Oct. 14.
The Tribune fully understands the high col­lege
spirit when an important .grid battle
nears, but it cannot understand the spirit of
destruction that rules some college students on
these occasions. This paper could say a great
deal on the subject, but we will leave it to
The Plainsman, Auburn publication, to handle
the guilty parties.
The Plainsman itemized the bill as follows:
10 light globes missing, 3 seat cushions miss­ing,
5 window glasses broken, 2 vestibule
glasses broken, 1 vestibule door glass broken, 1
lamp shade broken, 3 sash locks out of place,
1 seat arm rest out of place, 1 vestibule curtain
missing, 1 thermometer missing, 2 toilet paper
racks missing and 1 drinking cup tube miss­ing.
The college paper then denounces the guilty
boys in the following manner:
"Although Mr. Snow states that the move­ment
was as successful as the one last year,
we feel that he is merely being polite. Frank­ly,
we do not know what to say when we
are faced with the fact that seemingly in­telligent
college students, after being urged
by their own leaders, by • college officials, by
alumni, and by railroad officials to conduct
themselves as becoming true Auburn men,
cannot ride from Auburn to Montgomery and
back without losing their heads and deliberate­ly
and maliciously damaging, destroying, and
stealing a lot of property that they know full
well they must pay for out of their own pock­ets.
"It beats us. The entire student body and
the school receive the blame for what hap­pened.
But we do not feel in the least that
the students who broke loose and played
merry hell in any way truly represent Auburn.
A small group of rowdies in four hours Fri­day
severly damaged the good name of Au­burn.
And the damnable thing about it all is
that they will go scot-free, never caring that
they have hurt Auburn, while the students
who love the institution and her traditions
will suffer.
"We wish that in some way we could have
a hand in eradicating that small group of un­desirables
that cut loose last Friday. We know
that if the administration knew who they were
they would ship them home post-haste.
"And Auburn would be a cleaner and bet­ter
school were that done. Auburn has no place
for reckless persons who put their own per­sonal
whims and peculiar conceptions of en­joyment
above the welfare and good name of
the institution. The sooner the students guil­ty
of misconduct on the special trains get out
or get in line with the true Auburn Spirit the
better it will be for them and for Auburn."
The Advertiser can understand and ap­preciate
the chagrin of The Plainsman.
Somehow Alabama colleges have never yet
been able to make the honor system click.
Is that because we in some instances send
the wrong type of people to college, or is it
due to lack of discipline. We wouldn't know.
But we do know that we have no respect for
a high school student or a college student who
damages other people's property and endan­gers
other people's health and lives, all in
the spirit of "fun," and we do hear that the
familiar monkeyshines of Alabama students
would not be possible, say in Virginia.
Isn't it possible for our high schools, for
Auburn and the University to discipline the
outlaws who by their moral conduct defile
the names of the decent students that attend
their classes?
Why should a student in high school, in
API and the University be goatfish in his de­portment
and so reflect upon the parents that
gave him life and perhaps are working their
fingers raw to give him an education.—The
Montgomery Advertiser.
Highway Zoning
The highway of today provides an effi­cient
roadbed, but has too often been robbed
of all natural beauty either by shortsighted
methods of construction, creating a barren
and monotonous right-of-way, or by the ug­liness
of billboards parasites, which line up1
the new pavement almost as soon as it is
built. As soon as a highway is built, ugly
filling stations, plastered with cheap adver­tising,
spring up like mushrooms. With the
increase of travel and the wearing out of
automobiles, the auto junk-yard has de>
veloped into one of the ugliest forms of road­side
business.

James V. Taylor, a former
secretary in the organization, took
a smack at the Y. M. C. A. in his
article entitled "What's Wrong
with the Y. M. C. A.?"
He says, "It is becoming pal­pably
evident that, despite the
name, the average association is
neither a young men's organiza­tion
nor particularly Christian in
character."—all of which may be
true or may not; anyway, the art­icle
is most interesting and worthy

Seriously, as soon as the "higher-ups"

521. AND MID-SEMESTER
GRADES are about ready to be
mailed home. Why not disregard
the custom of sending out the
things? They aren't recorded any­where.
Their principal purpose is
to let the parents know how their
little boys and girls are getting
along in school. All right, then;
let's send reports to the parents
of freshmen. But those Mammas
and Daddys who have received
the reports before already know
that in many, many instances they
aren't very accurate predictors of
what the semester report (the re­corded
one) will look like.

The Auburn Plainsman
Dear Sir:
From the very beginning of my
life I have always heard about
that grand Auburn Spirit. Three
years ago I went East to college
and for the ensuing three years I
heard nothing of Auburn. I know
you are definitely not interested in
my life but this part of it is nec­essary.
When I came back South
I decided to finish my education
at Auburn—principally because of
the fine spirit Auburn was sup­posed
to have.
I went to the Georgia Tech
game Saturday expecting to see
some backing for the team by the
students. Of corse I understand
that the cheerleaders don't have
time to lead cheers when there
are so many picturs to be made
and so much of a show to put on.
The cheerleaders showed as much
spirit as a group of underfed don­keys.
Not even could they give
a cheer when a player came off
the field. The cheerladers started
off with a bang but it lasted just
about as long as a bang. "Pose for
the camera man" rather than "Yea
Auburn" seemed to be their theme
last Saturday.
Sincerely yours,
P. O. P.

Before Tomorrow
By John Godbold
AFTER THE CIVIL WAR the
Southern states were reduced to
the status of a defeated province.
The South was subjected to dis­advantages
which materially held
back its progress. But as Benja­min
Russell, President of Ala­bama
Chamber of Commerce,
stated in a speech here this sum­mer,
the Civil War also furnished
the Southerner an excuse to sit
under a tree and say, "What's the
use, the damyankees will ruin us
anyhow."
Figuratively speaking, most Sou­therners
have been sitting under
that tree for seventy-three years.
But now our region of the na­tion
is fighting enthusiastically
for betterment. We're fighting an­other
Civil War, but it isn't with
guns—it's in the council rooms of
the government, in the offices of
manufacturers and industrialists,
and it should be in the classrooms
of every Southern college.
We Southreners don't believe
that antagonism between sections
of the country should be encour­aged,
but we do believe that we
have a right to stand upon an equal
economic plane with other sec­tions.
And some groups in other
parts of the nation are fighting
hammer and tongs to stop us from
reaching that equality, for our
betterment means impairment of
the position of superiority which
they have held for so long.
However, in order to carry on
the fight the South needs leaders.
True, there are many competent
ones already, but more are need­ed,
and that brings us to the point
of this article.
Why couldn't Auburn turn out
some of those sorely needed men
by means of a special course in
Southern problems—a full four-year
course? Not a course for the
average student, but for the man
with exceptional ability and great
ambition. Restrict it to a few who
have great ability and train them
intensively for four years in the
type of study which they will need.
Give them economics and socio­logy
of the South, TVA, tenant
farming, cooperative marketing,
and the like. Let them live with it,
breathe it, sleep with it—just as
the students do at the outstanding
law and medical schools.
Then when they graduated they
would know their South—know tis
problems and advantages, know
how to fight for it. And there
would be jobs awaiting them when
they finished, plenty of them.
The thorough training of future
Southern leaders at API would
mean a greater respect for the
name Auburn, and undoubtedly
would benefit the South. If Au­burn
doesn't seize this opportun­ity,
some other school will.

GERMANY is asking for the re­turn
of her colonies which she
lost through the Treaty of Ver­sailles,
and strange to say, she
may get them. All of which goes
to show that it doesn't pay to
kick a nation when it is down.
Who knows but that the Ger­man
Republic might have been
a success had the Allied Powers
been moer lenient at Versailles.
But Germany was crushed too
much for democracy to succeed.
It took a new and fanatical form
of government to put the smashed
Germans back on the road to self-respect.
But they are on the march
now, and how far they will get no
one knows.
established institution, it may
just as well serve to give such
proof of its successful adaptation
at the Alabama Polytechnic In­stitute.
Professor Timbie has so thor­oughly
covered his subject that
it would require too much space
to list all the important features
of his article herein. Instead, he
will be quoted in part on a very
few of the most important points.
On the subject of practical ex­perience
the professor stresses the
point that "The place to learn
theory is in school, the place to
obtain practice is in industry. En­gineering
practice," he says "does
not take the place of theoretical
training." For the M. I. T. stu­dents
there are class sessions held
at the works. Of this, Professor
Timbie says in part, "One of the
by-product of these classes has
been the development in young
engineers the habit of studying
several evenings a week when
they are employed during the day."
This habit usually becomes so
deeply rooted that it stays with
them even after graduation. It is
certainly a good habit because, as
the professor says, "The student
who closes his textbooks on grad­uation
day is very likely at the
same time to close his mind to
study and his eyes to opportunity."

Why all these laboratory tortures? Simply because
your telephone must prove it can take more use and

'Rage Of Paris'
Coming To Tiger
With an all star cast in support,
under the baton of one of Holly­wood's
ablest directors and in a
story by the authors of Deanna
Durbin's latest hit, Danielle Dar-rieux
sensational French screen
star makes her expectantly a-waited
American debut in "The
Rage of Paris," Universal coTnedy
romance, which comes to the Tig­er
Theater on Wednesday and
Thursday.
Luminary of both the French
stage and screen, this twenty-one
year old beauty has appeared in
some of the most successful Eu­ropean
films in recent seasons.
She is perhaps best known for her
role opposite Charles Boyer in
"Mayerling" which won the New
York cinema critics' prize as the
best foreign film of the past year.
Starred opposite Mile. Darrieux
in "The Rage of Paris" is Douglas
Fairbanks Jr., while featured parts
are played by the owl-eyed Mischa
Auer, Helen Broderick, noted co­medienne,
and Louis Hayward,
portraying the third side of the
romantic triangle in the film.
"The Rage of Paris" was direc­ted
by Henry Koster from a script
by Bruce Manning and Felix Jack­son.
It presents the petite Daniel­le
as a little French girl who lands
in New York, broke and jobless,
and takes a job posing in the nude
for a famous artist. But in her
excitement at landing a jab she
snatches up the wrong address
and begins to pose in the office
of Fairbanks, a young advertising
executive. Then he walks in and

the surgeon worked was so great
that the eye could hardly follow.
The film had to be slowed down
for the students to observe.
A gastrictnomy operation, por­traying
the removal of a gastric
ulcer, was also shown. It exem­plified
the ease with which an ef­ficient
surgeon can perform the
most difficult operation.
These films were the first to be
shown before the Auburn veteri­nary
students. It is hoped that
more films can be shown during

THE SATURDAY EVENING POST
by PAUL GALLICO
She Snoops
To Conquer
I present to you this week elite
people on our campus and their
"by-words" and favorite sayings.
"Bunchy" Fowler—"Hell, I'm a
general!"
Auburn Knights—"Boy, I hear
ya." Also "Blamp."
Cora Lipscomb — "He's the
sweetest thing to me!"
P. Bagley—"Who wants ham?"
Joe Mitchell—"Where is Betty
Belle?"
Paul Maertz—"Who is that lit­tle
blond?"
Andy Cox—"I'll take Vander-bilt."
Tubby Griffith—"Boy, you're
coming right along."
Professor Robinson (Math)—
"It's really simple when you
catch on."
Bill Wright—"When did you get
in?"
Morris East — "That's what I
say."
Allen Cowart—"Boy, I guaran­tee
ya!"
"Chick" Hatcher—"Oh Lordy."
"Tirple Threat" Bryant—"Joe,
Joe, Joe, Joe."
"Skunk" Scherrouse (Kappa
Sig)—"Did she look funny when I
walked in the living room after
I stood her up!"
Alumni Hall inmates—"Fresh­man,
get her name, address, and
phone number."
Edward Wadsworth—"Boy, I
feel short!"
Allum Smith and Charlie Bow­ers—'
'Montgomery ?''
Gene Clark—"Let's go to the
Windmill."
Nancye Thompson—"Did I
make the gossip column this
week?"
Our Editor—"Where is the
Glomerata?"
For the "low-brow" readers of
this column we add some home­made
poetry:
Here lies a man who saved his
all
For days when rain and snow
would fall.
He knew no pleasure, shared no
game,
Then he died 'fore the blizzard
came.
(The talented poet refused to
reveal his identity.)
Try this tongue twister—The
skunk thunk the stump stunk, but
the stump thunk the skunk stunk.
What do you thunk?
Note to "Winchellette"—I have
not time or room to fool with you
in this column. I have only one
thing to say. Your brain must be
cooked by the excess heat gene­rated
by that load of red hair you
tote around.
Movie On Surgical Technique
Shown to AVMA Wednesday
A motion picture portraying the
latest development in surgical
technique was shown to the Jun­ior
AVMA at their last meeting.
An outstanding feature of the
program was the procedure used
in setting a fractured leg. The en­tire
operation was demonstrated
starting with first aid care and
ending with the completion of the
final suture. At times during the
