REPRESENTATIVE OF THE UNITED PRESS
Juggling words into “deformities"
A horse is a horse until it gets
into the terminology of the pol-
iticians of today.
Possibly never
has there been
such a day of
juggling words
of c o m m o n
meaning into a
glossary of some
\v i 1 d thinking
and a “river”
by such twisting
is a “channel of
thought” and a human body is
“an objectified mental illusion."
“Rights” that are matters only
to be apprehended by virtues
of mental and perceptive ability,
have come to be interpreted in
this vote-hunting and political
spellbound age, something that
can be voted on one in a mass
meeting and put on like an over-
coat. Adjustment and superior re-
1 itionship to cue's environment
have no standing in this multi-
plicity of political verbosity and in
a twinkling a low concept of ac-
quiring is met by a mere resolu-
tion or joining a movement or
voting for a certain party, which
vould take the place of intel-
ligence and mental development.
The political days are showing
just how lacking are the thinkers
in our ranks. Men are afraid to
lose a vote and so they would
contravene all ideas of an edu-
cable being and pass laws and
“implement” some high court po-
litical decree with the Lord knows
what, hut the politicians don’t
oem to savy. Anything like a
blanket, to throw over the tem-
pestuous situation until after the
election. And that is just the
voice needed today. Witness the
jumping jack capriciousness of
the med who want to have the
party win this election. Afraid of
the negro impact, or standing
aghast at the labor vote, the
Charybdis and Scylla is creating
a maelstrom which bids fair to
bring on a situation to feather
the nest for the arch enemy—
socialism or communism.
If the one side does not win,
then they wish for the loss of the
tl c.icn for the other. If the city
does not go my way, the mayors
ojvlhe commissioners of our cit-
ies, seem to be in the same frame
of mind. All are bad losers. And
a bad leser in any movement is
a half anarchist and a menace to
anybody’s society. Harsh words,
incriminations and recriminations
are the tools of the devil and
make luvoc of our society.
The day of politjpal conven-
tions, the time of precinct gath-
erings such as we have seen of
late are the tools of men who
sacrifice the very foundations of
cur democracy and throw suspic-
ion on the nether stones of our
common freedom. Get the major-
ity out by locking out others,
pring a surprise when the other
parties are not present; use the
secret meetings and the tools of
the subversive ones and secure a
padded report that is character-
istic to make the less-thinking
ones believe they are handed a
package of freedom, equality, fat
payrolls and desegregation of this
or that by a false merging that
in no way invites nor obtains un-
ity, and the politician has the
elixer of life that he believes will
keep him in office as long as he
wishes.
But the mills grind slowly, we
aie told. And every Absolom who
seeks power by chicanery, trick-
ery, dubious platforms and Im-
practical resolutions will find his
head in a limb and somebody
ready to leave nothing hut the
headless body on the ground be-
low.

City’s finances
in good shape for
month of August
The city is in pretty good shape
as to its finances for the month
of August at least, since she will
have to borrow only $6,000 from
the bank instead of the .$11,000
allowed in the budget set un, ac-
cording to a statement from Cfty
Secretary Harold Schmitzer.
When the time came for the
secretary to ask the council’s ap-
proval of transfer of funds from
the water and sewer department
and the parking meter fund to
the general fund for current ex-
penditures, Schmitzer said the
water and sewer department had
an available fund of $10,000 and
the parking meter fund $3,000
which together made $0,000 more
than had been estimated to come
from this source, so if the city
approved the transfer of these
two funds she need borrow only
$6,000 from the bank. The trans-
fer of funds and the loan were
approved by the council. The
$10,000 is to he used in the gen-
eral fund and the $3,000 to pay
policemen's salaries,
Pete I.andreth, operator of the
Trading Post, asked the council
for permission to establish a load-
ing zone in front of his new place
in the 100 block W. Main. His
petition was denied on the
strength of the fact that no load-
ing zone can be established on
Main.
Bill Killough appeared before
tiie council to ask for three or
"our taxi permits for a taxi ser-
vice he wishes to set up in the
100 block Main. His request was
turned over to Cant. Kaecke of
the police department who is in
charge of taxi permits in the city.
Captain Faecke approved the
transfer of permits from Harry
Painter’s Red Ball Taxi to the
Four-Three Taxi as requested by
Reese Newsome at last week's
council meeting.
A letter from Engineer 1). C.
Greer, of the State Highway De-
partment, confirmed the fact that

Clarence Scott
appointed member
zoning commission
Clarence Scott, 1500 W. Gan-
dy, former business man and once
mayor of the city, was appointed
a member of the Denison City
Zoning Commission at Tuesday’s
council meeting.
Recommendation of Scott's
name to the council for approval
was made by Mayor Harry Glid-
den who said, “I want to recom-
mend the name of Clarence Scott,
a man who held the position as
mayor of Denison longer than any
one else, as a member of the
Zoning Commi sion.” Council'
man Weideman and Lebrecht ap-
proved the recommendation.
Scott replaces Henry Boise
manager of Denison Grocery Com-
pany, who has been transferred
away from the city.
Warning issued as
to placing gasoline
in glass containers
Recently a near fatal accident
oecuired on Lake Texoma caused
by a glass jug full of gasoline
being broken and catching fire
inside a metal fishing boat. One
of the passengers was seriously
burned while abandoning the
boat. All passengers were forced
to cling to the side of the burn-
ing boat until rescued.
The use of glass containers for
the storage or transportation of
gasoline is definitely a safety
I'1 :’-ii'il as they are easily broken
if mishandled. The use of suit-
able metal containers will elimin-
ate similar accidents.
The above warning is issued
by the Resident Engineer for the
of Engineers,
accreditation division with the
State Department of Education.
His resignation is to be effective
at once, and Hamilton will move
from Denison to Austin within
the next few weeks.
“It is with a keen sense of re-
gret that I leave the Denison
public school system,” Hamilton
stated, “and on the other hand I
feel that it is a distinct honor to
be offered a position with the
State Department of Education.
“It has been a real pleasure
to work with the local school
board, superintendent and faculty
members and students for the
past three years. The people of
this city have every right to take
much pride in their school sy-
stem. I am glad I had a small
part in helping to contribute and
be a part of that system”, Ham-
ilton said in submitting his letter
of resignation.
In accepting- Hamilton's resig-
nation, superintendent II. W.
Goodgion and the school board
expressed regret, and wished him
well in his new field.
“Denison schools have suffered
a distinct loss because of Mr.
Hamilton’s decision to leave,”
said Goodgion, “1 know, however,
the position with the State De-
partment of Education is quite
attiactive and offers good oppor-
tunities for professional advance-
ment. I wish him the very best
and predict for him a bright fut-
ure with the State Department of
Education,”
Other Teacher Changes
Mrs. Eunice Dickinson, 4th
grade teacher at Central, also re-
signed and will leave Denison.
Her husband who is stationed at
Perrin Air Force /Base is being

cause of health, and will retire

cuperate. Mrs. McClure will con-
tinue to reside here.
Miss Lucille McBce, physical
education teacher at Junior high
school, has resigned to accept a
teaching assignment in the Tulsa
public schools.
Mrs. Jewel A. McKnight, Ter-
rell school teacher, was granted

January 1st.
In addition to these resigna-
tions and the leave of absence
granted Mrs. McKnight, three

a request from Lt. Overton, who
stated he represented the Salva-

to the meeting Tuesday.
In considering the request, the
mayor asked for a decision on
the matter of the relation be-
tween church worship and city
J property, pointing the question to
j City Attorney W. M. Malone.
Malone declared that if one
group was permitted to use the
court room for such purpose,
others might wish the city hall for
; like purposes, and referred to the
| “Constitution of the United
I States" avoiding the “Church and
j State” problem and ruled the Sal-
