EDITORIAL
A big job, a willing group... and
It may be a big job, but what it takes to put it over, Deni-
son has. Let something difficult challenge these Gate City folk
and, brother, you can write it down— well done.
All it needs is for something that calls for digging in and,
When the time comes to hear the word over the top, and for
sure, you never saw such a unanimous, determined and hard-
working crew in all your born days.
That s what they can say about Denison.
We don't have much of the coin of the realm, as compared
to some other communities, but hear ye, what a fighting bunch
is this group called Denisonians.
We have always, the years past reveal, gotten what we
went after, from Denison dam on back to getting a railroad. Or
may be we could say a railroad "got us." All we had to do back
when the Katy settled here was to say the ground is all yours.
Come and survey, take what you want, and Denison will be
builded.
From that day on down to the present, we have had to
fight for everything we got or get. And we still have the old
fight in us and we generally get what we go after or give some-
body one of the hardest fights th.y ever had.
Which brings us to the present "Make Beautiful Our Deni-
son" movement. Never have Denison folk, and especially the
downtown folk and the property owners shown a finer spirit of
cooperatio. When W. L. Peterson was asked to go out on a
similar drive some eight years back, he took over and secured
a fine support. But what W. L. was able to receive this time as
the clarion call was sounded to "Let's make downtown Denison
beautiful" was instant rally. And it has spread like smallpox.
It has been and still is, highly contagious, this thing of making
our town over paint-and remodel-wise.
Every nook and corner of thet store front, streets and avenues
where were business, bootblack stands, hamburger places—these
all have gone in 100 per cent to give Denison one of the greatest
face-lifting jobs any city ever dreamed could be brought abont.
And, at this writing, some of the parties waking up to what is
going on, are complaining they did not get started earlier. That's
how catching this modern dress'm up move is proving to be.
And those gay colors! The colors are as near the beauty
of a peacock's tail that the synonym would not be out of place
to say our town has dressed up so much we have the pride of a
peacock.
This resurrection, metamorphosis, rebirth, or whatever one
might wish to call it, has done wonders to the spirit of the peo-
ple who drive along our streets and see the two-tone jobs, the
two-tone clothing men wear all make for a perfect setting for a
darn fine town—Denison, the Gate City.

DENISON and GRAYSON COUNTY
Grayson county, accredited by Texas Almanac 1955
of having the "most diversified economy of any Texas
county, with income from crops, livestock, manufacturing
and trade, oil, tourists and recreation seekers."
Blockland soils and terrain in the southeast, grand
prairies characteristics in the southwest, gray lands on
divide in central section,- sandy lands and hilly topo-
graphy in north part along Red River. Drains to Red
River on north, Trinity on south. Post oak, walnut, hickory,

capacity among the world's reservoirs. Lake four miles
north of Denlion.
County has a population of 79,500: 53.4 per cent urban;
90.9 per cent Anglo-Americans; 8.7 per cent negro,- .04

AUSTIN, Tex. — Texas' 50th
kgislature, though not yet pworii
ii, already casts u long shadow
eve.- atatehouse activities.
its membership was settled—or
. i tually fettled—with the count-
ing of the Democratic second pri-
inany votes. A few will have Re-
public-in opponents in November.
Of more interest now is how
(he 56th will lean on key issues.
Political prophets already are
taking pulse readings and pro-
nounce it likely to be more liberal
than its predecessor. But not pre-
dominately liberal. A big influx
ol' newly-elected liberal.- from
Houston is expected to be offset
by Dallas plus others from small
towns.
On next sessions crucial issue—
finance—everyone's crystal ball
feeing a bit cloudy. Next legisla-
ture will have to grapple with a
financial deficit which the legisla-
tive budget board has predicted
may call for as much as $140,000,-
000 additional tax revenue.
Winning candidates, in both
their speeches and newspaper an-
nouncements, were understand-
ably skittish and unspecific in
making specific proposals for
dealing with this gigantic prob-
lem. Many came out flatly
against a general sales tax or
state income tax. Numerous sug-
gestions were made to balance the
budget through "economy in gov-
ernment, elimination of waste,
duplication," etc.
Such statements are like the
breeze off an ieeburg to state de-
partments, many of whom have
said they'll be asking for more,
not less money, next session.
When the showdown comes, de-
cisions will be made largely by
the same group who pushed the
voting buttons in '57. All told,
there'll be 49 new faces among
the 181 lawmakers.
Replacing the three retiring
senators, Ottis Lock of Lufkin,
Searcy Bracewell of Houston and
Carlos Ashley of Llano will be
Martin Dies, Jr., of Lufkin, Ro-
bert W. Baker of Houston and
Louis Crump of San Saba.
House will have 40 freshmen,
sl-'ghtly less than the normal
one-third turn-over of its 150
members. Changes result from
the retirement of 83 representa-
tives, defeat of 13 others.
Mangled Math
When the next speaker of the
House of Representatives takes
office in January, some confused
arithmetic will be cleared up.
A speaker is elected at the start
of each regular session by the 150
house members. Support, in the
form of signed pledges, is lined
up well in advance of the ses-
sion's start.
This year, when the dust settled
lrom the run-off primary, both
contenders claimed victory. Rep.
Waggoner Carr of Lubbock, pres-
ent speaker, said he had 80
pledges. Rep. Joe Burkett af
Kerrville, claimed 77 pledges. In
addition, Burkett said he knew of
15 house members who had made
no pledges.
All the claims added up to 172
representatives—22 more than the
people elected.
Big Day Due
San Antonio, site of the Alamo,
may see another lusty scrap Tues-
day, Sept. St, when Texas Demo-
crats of widely varying segments
gather for state convention.
No one is making any ironclad
predictions on what will happen,
but pre-convention rumblings
promise at least some of the us-
ual fireworks.
A group of conservatives are
working on ways to bounce the
militantly liberal Mrs. Frankis
Randolph from her post as nation-
al committeewoman. Having the
chairman of the Democrats of
Texas and leader of the opposi-
tion to state party leadership in
the prestige-laden national com-
mittee post is hard to take.
But removing a national com-
mittee member offers difficulties,
too. A state convention merely
nominates the national committee
members; actual election is by the
national convention. Whether a
state convention could undo the
action of a national convention is
not definitely known.
Another possible source of fric-
tion is the selection of the state
executive committee chairman,
the post now held by Jim Lindsc-y
of Texarkana. Abilene Oilman Ed
Vtrn San ford
Connally has been mentioned as a
prospect.
Liberal delegates and support
er.; of Sen. Ralph Yarborough aiv
expected to fight hammer and
tongs against a Connally drive.
-Connally was i strong supporter
of William Blakley in his senate
race against Yarborough and
headed Gov. Price Daniel's pre-
cinct convention fight against the
DOT.
Too "General"
Alumni of East Texi-s State
College are asking help in untang-
ling conflicts over new program
at the Commerce school.
At issue is the value of a "gen-
eral studies" program instituted
by ETSC President Dr. James
Gee. Revised curriculum substi-
tutes a course in "communica-
tions" for freshman English, "her-
itage" for American history, and
so on. A professor who had
taught some of the "general"
courses called them a "hodge-
podge," comparable to grade
school work.
Dissatisfied exes meeting in
Austin asked Sen. Charles Her-
ring, senate investigating commit-
tee chairman, to look into the sit-
uation. Herring said he would
bring it up at the committee's
next meeting, but urged the exes
tr talk first with the college's
board of regents.
Faculty Raises Asked
Salary raises for faculty mem-
bers is the principal item in a
$12,515,000 budget increase be-
ing sought by Texas' 18 state col-
leges and universities.
Texas Commission on Higher
Education said the $4,000,000 be-
ing asked by college officials
would allow for average raises of
$600 per year per prof.
Altogether, the colleges' budge*,
requests to the commission total
$68,721,975 for the 1960-61 bi-
enniunt.
Commission's task is to screen
these requests and make up a
recommended budget to present to
the legislature.
Short Snorts
State board of water engineers
has scheduled a hearing for Sept.
18 on the propose! Diablo dam

Daniel has proclaimed September
and October as "American heri-
tage months," a period in which

WASHINGTON AND
SMALL BUSINESS
Unfortunately, due to clever
propaganda over the past twenty
years, the issue of states rights
has become in the minds of far
too many people somehow en-
tangled with racial questions.
Thus, to many people, anyone
who advocates states rights Is
also in favor of freedom to lynch
members ofM;
m i n o r i t y;
groups.
* |
Such, how-
ever, is not the
case.
« * •
For exam-
ple. in a recent-
ly completed
poll of the na-
tionwide mem- c.W.TUrdTr
bcrship of the National Federa-
tion of Independent Business,
79'; of the nation's small busi-
nessmen, east, west, north,
south, voted in favor of legisla-
tion to permit states to regulate
labor disputes.
st * *
This is actually a demand by
the nation's independent busi-
nessmen for state's rights in
handling affairs on a local basis.
• * *
For two decades, or more, the
federal government has been in-
volved through the National La-
bor Relations Board in labor dis-
putes regardless of how local,
if somehow it is established the
product made crosses state lines.
* * *
Thus, for example, while the
competitive problems, living
conditions, and every other fac-
tor may be entirely different as
regards a clothes pin factory in
Santa Fe, New Mexico, and one
in Machias, Maine, in rush the
federal boys to lay down the
rules and regulations under
which a tabor dispute in either
place will be adjudicated.
« * ♦
There are some who seem will-
ing at any time to charge the
National Labor Relations Board
g) National Federation of Independent liuilimi
By C* WILSON HARDER
with harboring the largest group
of communists in the U. S.
a •
This allegation Is probably not
true. Yet, on tKe other hand, due
to the fact that Jobs on this
board would be pretty hard to
hold dowu year after year If any
member of the agency were un-
der constant attack by the lead-
ers of big labor organisations, It
Is reasonable to assume that the
National Labor Relations Board
Is not the most objective body
in the nation.
* • •
In every labor dispute, local
conditions and factors are impor-
tant in the overall picture if fair
and equitable settlements are
to be arrived at. For example,
workers in the garment industry
in southern California do not
have the high winter heating
costs, other living costs, of their
opposite members on New York's
Seventh Avenue.
* • •
Yet a lower labor rate in south-
ern California does not mean
that the factory owners gain
greater profits, because they
have greater freight costs to
reach the nation's more popu-
lous markets than their opposite
numbers In New York have.
• * *
Thus, throughout the nation,
there are many, many examples,
where a settlement fair in one
area, is not fair in another area.
Yet the National Labor Rela-
tions Beard must always be alert
to what the big national labor
leaders think.
*
And obviously, the economic
health of a local community is
more vital to the citizens of that
community than anybody from
the outside. Thus, the nation's
Independent businessmen, in a
realistic recognition of this sit-
uation, arc asking that handling
of local labor disputes be placed
on a local level. This Is actually
a part of what is Included In the
often misunderstood term of
■tates rights.

STOP FOR SCHOOL BUSES
Thousands, of school children
are now trooping back to school
throughout Texas. Many of them
will be transported by school
buses. Most people are careful
when approaching a school bus
which may be standing beside the
road or school to pick up school
children or allow them tp alight.
However, we have already had
. onie very bad accidents this year
because a child or a motorist, or
both, were careless at that very
time.
Most Texans are aware of the
law which requires a driver to
come to a complete stop when
overtaking from the rear a school
bus which has stopped to receive
or discharge school children. Af-
ter stopping immediately behind

"Step by quickening step, med-
ical scientists are approaching
major breakthroughs toward con-
trol and cure of our three most
costly diseases—heart ailments,
cancer, and mental illness," writes
Alton L. Blakeslee in Today's
Health, the American Medical As-
sociation's magazine of general
circulation. He adds: "We will
learn how to prevent heart at-
tacks. Drugs and possibly vac-
cines will be found to take the
terror out of cancers. Chemical
formulas will correct mental ill-
nesses, and help keep human
minds healthy."
This is not going to happen ov-
ernight. But decisive victories
are expected in five to ten years.
All the signs are good. Scientists
the world around are working to
defeat the three killers—and, as
Mr. Blakeslee puts it: "... in
this battle there are no national
secrets—all knowledge won is
quickly shared to fashion common
shields against common afflic-
tions."
Here, in very brief summary, is
how matters are shaping up.
Cancer. Anti-cancer drugs have
occasionally given "astounding ef-
fects." The drugs are getting
better. A single miracle antican-
cer drug is not expected—cancer
appears to be a group of diseases,
so a drug which is effective again-
st one form might be useless
against another. If, as some now
believe, viruses cause certain
types of human cancer, the door
will be open to the use of vac-
cines as protective agents—just
the Salk vaccine protects
against polio. It should be em-
phasized that early diagnosis is
TEXAS (TPRJ-SS^I association
vital in cancer. Today, for in-
stance, 46 per cent of patients
with breast cancer are now being
saved—early diagnosis and proper
treatment would up that to 81
per cent. The situation is com-
parable with all other cancers.
Heart Disease. Mr. Blakeslee
points out that "Today we know
how heart attacks or 'coronaries'
come about, not why." Arteries
narrow or many close off entirely,
depriving the heart tissue of need-
ed blood. No one knows certainly
why this happens, bat a top au-
thority says: "I think I see cracks
in the iron curtain of ignorance."
More and more is being learned
about diet, exercise, smoking, ten-
sions, and worries as possible in-
fluences on the disease. Marked
progress has been mnde in tech-
niques for dissolving blood clots.
Practically every case of high
blood pressure can now be
hi ought under control. And vir-
tual miracles of heart surgery are
being performed.
Mental Health. "Tomorrow,"
Mr. Blakeslee says, "will bring
drugs to prevent or cure many or
perhaps all mental illness . . . "
There may even he drugs to stim-
ulate the imagination and improve
the memory. Evidence piles up
that mental illness may result
from chemical poisoning. The
brain i,-. being explored electric-
ally "with fascinating results."
Trail-breaking advances are being
made in rehabilitation of the men-
tally ill. Occupational therapy is
producing fine results in many in-
stances. And we are beginning to
see the therapeutic importance of
keeping patients in the commun-
ity instend of sending them off to
isolated hospitals.
So these wars against three ma-
jor illnesses go inexorably for-
ward. Never have the fighters
had such potent weapons. And
the weapons of tomorrow will be
far more effective and conclu-
sive still.
the bus, he is then allowed by law
to proceed past same at a speed
"which is prudent, not exceeding
ten (10) miles per hour, and with
due caution for the safety of such
children."
What many persons do not real-
ize is that the very same rule ap-
plies wher. MEETING a stopped
school bus. While everyone is in-
terested in protecting our chil-
dren, unthinking violators of this
simple ,-afety rule greatly outnum-
ber those who comply. Failure to
follow the law in this case can
lead to fines up to $200.00 even
when no accident occurs. Follow-
ing an accident in which some
child is injured or killed, the pen-
alties are naturally much more
serious.
Although the above rule does
not always apply when passing a
stopped school bus in a business
or residential district of a town,
the necessity for extreme caution
even jn those locations is obvious.
When it comes to overtaking
and passing moving vehicles, ex-
ercise of ordinary common sense
will generally keep a driver within
the law. For instance, when pass-
ing a car it is only common sense
to proceed on past it a safe dis-
tance before cuttiig back to the
right side of the highway. Also,
any driver would realize the dan-
ger of increasing his speed while
another is attempting to pass him.
In the same category is the pro-
hibiton against passing on the
right side under most ordinary
conditions. Of course, you may
legally pass on the right in a few-
specific instances, such as when
I lie vehicle is making or about to
make a left turn, or upon a one-
way street with two or more
lanes, or upon a four-lane high-
way.
However, our traffic laws state
that even when passing on the
light is allowed, it shall be done
only under conditions permitting
such movement in safety. And, in
no event should such passing bo
accomplished by driving off the
pavement or main-traveled portion
cf the roadway.
Familiar to all are the no pass-
ing zones designated by dash
lines placed to one side of the
center stripe on our highways.
Not so well known are the restric-
tions against crossing the center
line when approaching within 100
feet of or when traversing any
intersection or railroad grade
crossing.
A driver should never cross the
center line of a highway when the
left side of the road is not clearly
visible and free of oncoming traf-
fic. Generally speaking, when
not engaged in passing another
vehicle, one should not drive to
the left of the roadway.

law, is written to inform—not to

YEARS AGO
EDITOR'S NOTE—The fol-
lowing accounts of incidents in
the city were taken from the
files of the old Denison News by
Miss Duke Murray, whose fa-
ther, the late B. C. Murray,
established the first newspapor
•ri Denison.
Aufuit 12, 1877
The flour made at the Lone
Star Mills in Denison is getting
u reputation all over Texas, sec-
ond to none. During the last
week, three carloads were shipped
to Galveston and Houston, Thurs-
day one carload to Houston and
today one carload to Bremond. It
must be extremely gratifying to
Mr. Boss Jo see how the reputa-
tion of the product of his mill in-
creases daily.
A pump has been placed in the
well at the intersection of Main
street and Rusk.
Mr. Helfsrider, watchmaker for
M. Goldsall Co., is engaged in the
manufacture of a fine watch of
which the top and bottom plate
are of viory, taken from a billiard
ball. It is provided with a chro-
nometer escapement. Everything
except the case, which is gold, and
some of the screws, is the handi-
work of Mr. Golfsrider. It is cer-
tainly a unique piece of workman-
ship. He intends to have the
watch exhibited at the St. Louis
world's fair.
The city has expended consid-
erable money on the sewer which
crosses Main street, but we can-
not see that any good has been
acomplished, unless it is to in-
crease Ihe size of the hog wallow.
August 12, 1880
At the meeting of the city coun-
cil held last Tuesday, the ordi-
nance granting the sum of $7,500
for the construction of a viaduct
by the Denison Land and Invest-
ment Co., over the MK&T yards
at Austin was passed and a mat-
ter that proved a knotty one to
the council was thus settled, and
provides for an outlet from the
city by a wooden bridge thirty
feet wide. Of course we would
have preferred to have had the
structure of iron instead of wood,
but as this was the best we rould
get, it will be many degrees bet-
ter than nothing at all. At the
same council meeting, Alderman
Carter handed in ordinances
providing for the issuance of
bonds for the effecting of two
very important improvements.
One of these provides for the ex-
penditure of $50,000 for sewage
and $115,000 for street improve-
ments. Each of these ordinances
received their first reading, but
were prevented from being carried
further by Alderman Yocum. in
view of the present outlook, these
improvements seem of imperative
necessity. The Boston capital-
ists, who have visited and invested
heavily in our city, while delight-
ed with Denison, expressed sur-
prise that a city us large as Deni-
son, having such a magnificent
system of waterworks, and so
small a public debt, should be
without a sewage system. Our
streets are commended on every
hand for their magnificent
breadth, but condemned in the
same breath for their condition.
Give Denison a good sewage sys-
tem, and three or four macadam-
ized streets with the adjunct of
good sidewalks and no prettier
town will exist in the state of
Texas. There is no denying that
rtreet improvement and sewage
facilities are Denison'g greatest
needs.
August 12, 1904
There was an odd little grip
knocking around on the floor of
C. J. O'Maley's office Thursday
that contained $50,000 in dia-
monds. It belonged to a drum-
mer. It contained gems fit to
adorn royalty.
Thursday night the W, O. Bro-
ckett and Co. grain elevator in
Sherman and three box cars load-
ed with wheat were destroyed by
tire. Loss estimated at $30,000,
fully covered by insurance. The
elevator will be rebuilt.
Mrs. E, P. Lowery, Temple, who
is visiting here, was proceeding
along Chandler avenue today
when a negro grabbed a purse out
of her hand and ran away with it.
The purse contained only $1.45.
It was done so quickly the lady
was dumfounded. She caught
sight of the negro as he turned
into Shepherd street. He was very
black, wore a blue shirt, and look-
ed to be about thirty years old.
