The Greatest Library
As we see it, the greatest
libraries are not in some center
where men specialize in bringing
in musty, sacred or other vol-
ume8 in papyri
or on stones. In
. *§*• our book the
greatest library
is when mem-
ory goes into the
store room and
brings in volume
after volume of
the experiences
one bas himself
had with a friend.
If that memory would rather
be blotted out, maybe some kind-
ly angel stoops over the battle-,
ment and sheds a tear for us,
while hope lifts its girdle to give
us support.
On the other hand, the library
of memory may have ample of
its volumes which shall turn page
after page for us of things that
make us know what it means to
be good to one’s conscience.
A Friends of Yesteryear
Some ten days back a phone
call from an old friend and my
former employer, George M. Den-
nis, announced that he was back
ir. Texas from San Francisco for
a visit in his old, and my own,
home town, Greenville. He want-
ed that I, with my wife should
join he and his wife in a dinner
at Hotel Washington.
Having just read Cicero on
“Friendship” and recalling his
statement that friendships were so
rare as to be almost negligible,
and seeing how that historic per-
son knew how to evaluate friend-
ship and tell it in words that
could hardly be matched, the in-
vitation to dine with my friend
offered the immediate opportu-
nity for an experience that would
make even Cicero envious.
George and I, through the past
60-odd years, have been thrown I Legislative
together in many ways giving ! othersJVloody emphasized that Oc-
opportunity for one to know what
each offered the other on the
basis that makes for friendship.
Our souls through the years have
been knit together and to meet
with him for a few hours of
fellowship, offered an intoxica-
tion of the spirit that no artificial
VA hospital and
membership drive
head Legion plans
A resolution sponsored by the
Denison Legion Post No. 62
opposing the rumored closing of
the Veterans Administration hos-
pital in McKinney, and a concert-
ed membership drive for all Posts
in the district, comprised the main
features of the Fourth District
convention of the organization
which has just been concluded in
Denison.
The resolution was submitted
by Carey L. Anderson and unan-
imously adopted by the conven-
tion. The purpose of the resolu-
tion, it wasl explained, was to alert
the other Posts in this district
to any possible action indicating
the closing of the VA hospital
n McKinney. There are 593 beds
in the McKinney hospital it was
pointed out, and 350 in the new
Lisbon hospital. If patients from
the McKinney hospital were to be
moved to Lisbon as has been
rumored, the 593 beds at McKin-
ney would be eliminated thereby
creating an additional shortage
of 243 beds. Legion officials in-
tend to watch any so-called econ-
omy move, it was pointed out,
that would be detrimental to the
welfare of veterans and their de-
pendents in connection with any
possible action of this kind.
The keynote address of the con-
vention was delivered by Depart-
ment Adjutant G. Ward Moody
who spoke to a joint meeting of
Legion and Auxiliary members in
the Rialto theatre following the
Sunday morning memorial service.
Moody outlined the annual pro-
gram for the coming year which
could be adopted by Post com-
manders covering most of the
major programs of the Legion.
The plan as he presented it was
0)i a month by month basis for
Posts in which all of these major
programs could be used during
the year. The main programs of
the Legion include those on Amer-
icanism, Child Welfare, Commu-
nity Service, Re-habilitation, Vet-
programs among
soul.

A History Not Senility
Yes, our conversation ran to
many events in our past. Many of
them had to do with the early
days of Greenville. We talked and
shed tears mutually at times.
Then memory would come in from
our library and open a volume
to a page which brought laughter
of the hearty and healthful kind.
Then memory opened a page of
musical experiences and we again
went on some of the band trips
with the famous Fifth Regiment
Band of Greenville. The days of
famous opera stars and their en-
gagements at Greenville and the
part we played in furnishing mu-
sic was a page as well as the
tragedy of blind tiger days and
the concommitant daring officers
who met death.
His family and my own had a
great deal to do with establishing
the foundation stones of Green-
ville. His ancestors were top of-
ficials, executives, farmers and
business men. My own grand-
father was the first merchant in
Greenville, and my own father
w: s active in the drug business
as well as an operator of a lum-
ber business which brought lum-
ber to Greenville from Jefferson.
George as the founder of the
Greenv l'e Messenger, did a fine
piece of work as a publisher,
while the little part I had as his
foreman gave ample ground for
talking shop.
A Jonathon and David
If Jonathon and David or Da-
mon and Pythias had anything
in their friendship for each other
ovgr George and I.eRoy, I can't
see how they could. When we met
we embraced affectionately last
Thursday and when we 3aid good-
bye, we kissed each other’s cheek.
I had the strange feeling that
perhaps this might be our last
meeting on earth.
And when George and his wife
and wdfe and I stood on the side-
war- by our oar to have the part-
ing time, one of us remarked
something about possibly not
meeting again in this world. Al-
most simultaneously, we all said
something in choked words about
meeting in the place above, as

tober 20 starts a new Legion year
and that October 20 be desig-
nated Legion Day, on which the
drive for 1955 members would
begin and which drive would run
concurrently with drives of other
Posts throughout the entire
United States.
Membership plans for 1955
were also outlined by First Divis-
ion Commander C. K. (Cap) Law-
son, who said that during this
drive commitments made by var-
ious Posts represented at the con-
vention indicated a minimum of
1500 new members in the Fourth
District by November 11.
A Sunday morning memorial
service at the Rialto theatre pre-
ceded the noon Turkey dinner at
the Legion home and the after-
noon business sessions. Dr. Ray
Coonrod was in charge of the
memorial service with Rev. Ed.
Bayless, pastor of the First Pres-
byterian church delivering the
spiritual address.
Mike Kozma, viee-eommander of
the 4th district, was in charge of
the Sunday morning meeting.
| Mayor Harry Glidden gave the
address of welcome to delegates
and visitors, and Ray Roberts,
state senator elect gave the res-
ponse. The afternoon business ses-
sion was directed by L. Kermit
Bunch, 4th District commander.
Sherman was selected as the

Lamar Dads club
seeks solution to
traffic problem
H. C. Carpenter, resident of
the Lamar school district, appear-
ed before the city council in ses-
sion Tuesday to present again the
Lamar Dads Club’s plea for bet-
ter traffic control at the 5th ave-
nue and Texas street intersection.
The city council recently approv-
ed -a plan suggested by the Dads
Club for movable traffic signs to
be used by and at the discretion
of (he school authorities at that
point, which is considered a very
dangerous crossing for small
school children, hut the plan has
not proved successful, it was re-
ported.
Again Mayor Glidden accepted
the petition from the Lamar Dads
Club and turned it over to the
traffic committee for further
study.
Carpenter’s request at this
week’s council meeting, was for
a stop sign or traffic light on
Texas. Mayor Glidden approved
his suggestion, and promised im- ,
mediate action from the traffic
committee.
Another request for movable i
traffic signs was received by the j
council from the Houston school *
and was granted, Houston school I
authorities will place the signs j
in the required spot at 7:30 in j
the morning on school days and i
remove them after school hours •
in the afternoon.
Rezoning requests
turned over to
board by council
Two requests for amendment to
the city zoning ordinance were
heard at Tuesday’s council meet-
ing. Both requests were turned
over to the zoning commission
for action.
Mrs. Emma L. Seay requestsd
the rezoning of several fractional
lots in the 800 block on W. Nel-
son which she owns. The lots will
be sold to G. B. Young who
wants to erect a washateria at
that point, provided the zoning
adjustment can be made.
The other request came from
Mrs. Hattie Butler who owns the
property at 615 N. Rusk. Mrs.
Butler wants her property rezon-
cd to allow her to sell short
order lunches at that place.
The final reading was given
to another zoning amendment
which brings into the city proper
a part of Juanita Drive owned
by E. C. Erwin.
A request from A. E. Fritts,
Denison contractor, to change a
curbing at 303 W. Crawford,
was referred to City Engineer
E. C. Drumb for recommendation.
Gracious Words from Gov. Shivers
Austin, Texas
October 7, 1954
Mr. LeRoy Anderson
926 W. Sears
Denison, Texas
Dear Mr. Anderson:
It is with true humility and heartfelt gratitude that
I attempt to express to you my warmest appreciation
for your intensive, unselfish efforts during our campaign.
Never was so much fine work done by so many,
in so short a time. A bright new page in our glorious
history has been written indelibly for all to see — a
proclamation that Texas still stands as a bulwark of
individual freedom and courage.
You helped write the story of this great effort, and
we most surely can share together the satisfaction which
comes with a well-deserved victory in a righteous cause.
Never will I forget those who made it possible, and I
shall endeavor, with God’s help, to merit your confi-
dence by a rededication to the ideals so dear to all
Texans.
With everlasting appreciation, I am
Sincerely yours,
ALLAN SHIVERS

Expansion of
local plants
is historic
When the present program
looking to increasing the output
of the Conway Oil Co., is com-
pleted, that important industry
in Denison will have added at
least a 50 per cent overall in-
crease to its products. That is
the statement of Charles Ras-
chke, plant manager of the
Denison plant, made to the
Press Tuesday
Mr. Raschke, who is an ad-
vanced expert in the field of
chemistry also, ha- just returned
from a visit of several days in
Minneapolis where he met with
the American Oil Chemists Soci-
ety. Mr. Raschke was accompanied
by his wife and two small sons.
The Raschke family resides at
931 W. Gandy street.
Included in the present pro-
gram of the local plant of the
Conway Co., is an expansion rep-
resenting two construction jobs
to be carried out simultaneously,
Mr. Raschke stated. The Cole
Construction Co., of this city was
awarded the contract to erect a
new powerhouse immediately east
of the present boiler rooms. The
W. F. H. Schultz contractors of
Atlanta, Ga., will have charge of
electing a new hydrogen gas gen-
erating plant. This is the first
Conway processing plant to be
expanded.
The new powerhouse is to be
a two story structure of rein-
forced white brick. The upper
story will house the plant’s water
treating equipment as well as the
steam generating equipment. The
ground floor of this structure will
contain a machine shop, shipping
and receiving department, instru-
ment repair, electric shop and en-
gineer’s office.
A total of 6,000 square feet
of floor space will represent the
new addition.
The Conway Company has top
trained men in charge of manu-
facturing its products and from
time to time the men over such
departments take special train-
ing and attend all important meet-
ings such as Mr. Raschke recently
made in Philadelphia.
The edible oils which are manu-
factured by the Conway plant are
used in the products of the Cold
Stream Products and Table Pro-
ducts, subsidiaries of the Safeway
Stores, Inc.
Denison has in its Safeway
Store one of the most attractive
buildings, with convenient grounds
for customers to be found in
Texas. The local store is operated
by “Dick" Medford, a Denison
resident for many years.

is lay speaker
at Waples church
C. Truett Smith, president of
the First National Bank of Wylie,
Texas, and a prominent lay lead-
ci in the North Texas Conference
of the Methodist Church, was the
guest speaker at Laymen's Day
services at Waples Methodist
church Sunday.
Mr. Smith was introduced by
Freeman Carney, chairman of the
Laymens Day program. Other
Waples laymen participating in
the program were Jack McCariey,
who led the responsive reading;
Hal Rawlins, who gave the scrip-
ture reading; James Woodruff,
who led the prayer and Keith
Hubbard who pronounced the
benediction.
Mr. Smith stressed the import-
ance and great need of lay work-
ers in all churches. He gave a
brief but informative lecture on
stewardship and spiritual benefits
to he derived from a life of giv-
ing, as against the material bene-
fits to those who fail to share
their time, talents or money for
the strengthening of God's king-
dom.

ied in Washington on Nov, llr
