“Imagineering’’ Given as
American Secret Weapon
The coined word "iniagineer-
ing” was suggested at the Ore
gon State College to represent
imagination plus engineering and
science by E C. Sammons, state
bond drive chairman. Portland
manufacturer and State Board of
Higher Education member, in a
mid-year commencement address.
Sammons said "imagineering"
plus an inborn spirit of liberty
constitute two of America's most
potent "secret weapons' in this
war. These have made possible,
he said, overcoming an initial ad
vantage of enemy countries in
their long military training and
preparedness.
Degrees were granted to 94 stu
dents and certificates to 239
Army men completing the ASTU
courses.

ordnance equipment; 11c muni-
t.ons; 10c (a red stamp, such as
those on sale in the hall) for ves

consider that your money is used
in every field for almost every
use and you get a refund of one-
third of your Investment after
wards. W ar bond and stamp mon
ey really works.
