Peter.
Now, mark my words on
this little town, and then they're
going to see a lot of things
happening here.
What will the real world be?
And right smack dab in the middle
of this great country of ours,
sitting on top of you.
Right, progressive little city
and with his beard and Benfold
going.
My goodness, we came up
with builtin 57.
A small Texas town was
looking to the future, dreaming of
things to call planning
for today.
And today, Denton
is out ahead of the pack,
the most unusual city of its size
in the nation.
Yes, I think city dynamic,
vital and alive.
A little city that knows how
to make things happen big.
Hey, you guys, let's go to town
hall. Something's up.
Yeah, there's a council meeting and
we're going to vote on it.
We're gonna have a new bandshell,
a chicken in every park
now. But the thing that other
towns don't have, what's the
thing that we've got?
We've got so
old and up and out of here
that show we dig
right in and get the job done,
whether big or small.
We don't care.
We let our neighbors are helping.
And the fear is always
there because we've
got oh, enough
of that. A spirit that shows
one of the things that other towns
don't have, but other things
that we've got.
We got water, water everywhere to
drink our fish or boat in and fair
elections at the polls.
Everyone can vote in schools and
parks and playgrounds and schools
and marcantonio shopping centers and
businesses.
I don't want to get tired
of a sheriff's posse and
little league and buildings.
You can work in well lighted streets
and da that rappers never let in
go. But of course, lot of city
government that the star
of the Hills, a beautiful place and
even well for mayors and.
We're gonna have a new bandshell
again, and everybody
wants to think that other towns
don't have, but the thing
that we've got,
we can't
go.
Did we get on you bandshell?
Well, no, but we have jazz
groups, big band, string
quartet, madrigal singers,
symphony orchestras, grand
choruses, woodwind ensembles
and more yours
for listening study or
participation if
you're for music fans
more than you can here in Denver,
like the award winning lap
band.
All the a cappella choir
is I
you know, day by
day of,
oh,
these are the serenaders.
Win, win, win,
win, win, win,
win.
Our symphony orchestra.
Texas Woman's University is proud
of its coraline's who recently
returned from a State Department
tour abroad.
Oh, you know what
I
mean?
I just thought maybe, you
know.
And North Texas State University
Symphonic Band ranks with
the nation's finest.
Of course, our universities offer
more than pleasing sounds.
One of the major research
contributions of GW
involves work with the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration
in which we aid in conserving
bone mineral of the astronauts.
Dr. Pauline Barry Mack
of Texas Woman's University,
engaged in research for NASA
projects completed or in progress
under the sponsorship of the Ford
Foundation, concentrated
on the development of a focus
for analyzing the manner in
which this for
stuff to see.
A little field of North Texas State
University directing a management
research program for the Ford
Foundation.
With continuing programs in
the fields of radiation chemistry,
polymer physics, household
arts, mathematics, textiles
and biological sciences, to name
a few Danton's two
universities are both considered
to be major research centers.
And oh yes, there's Dr. J.A.G.
Silvy noted researchers
in the field of water pollution and
purification.
Right now he seems to be tying
balloons onto sandbars.
Dr. Silvy, would you tell us how
this experiment fits into your
program of pollution research?
Yes.
When the fish were released, the
balloon tied to their tail allows
me to observe the effects that
control pollution from the migratory
patterns and eating habits
I see.
And because they always rejoin
the school, I know
where I can find the best fishing in
the world.
We're gonna have a new batch
in and everybody
wants to think that other towns
don't have.
But the thing that we've got,
we can't
go.
We go for our children in a
big way, too, with one of the
most progressive elementary and
secondary school systems in the
country, a system in which
over two thirds of the faculty
hold master's degrees.
And we've
got 5000 miles
and miles of heart to love
you. One of the things that we
have for fun, these
what do for us start.
We got streams upon the Great Big
Lakes that you can try your luck in
and county fairs, you stand a chance
to win A that's happening.
And when you're at your wits end
park to leave the kids in
place and rodeos, not to mention
your shows, to look at
country clubs and football teams and
things that in your wildest dreams
you never even thought of.
And we're
going to have a new batch
of chicken in every
part.
Now, what's the thing that other
towns don't have?
But the thing that we've got
we can't
find.
Yes, we play hard
and then go home to that chicken
in the pot.
Did we ever get that new bandshell?
Well, no, but
we've got a song,
there is miles
and miles of my
life that made me
think that good
time was
still a long way from home.
My
love
that either side
of
the world was going to be made.
Miles and miles, long
line line with
me, and then they
put my time on
that long line line,
still a long way
around,
you know,
no
everything in between.
Now, I just got to go.
There's miles and miles
and miles long white line
between me and Texas,
but what's the time?
Long line, still
a long way
down the road.
The city council meeting,
this sounds like Denton,
Texas, for a
thriving city of the midcontinent
that provides an excellent point of
origin for shipments of travel
to anywhere in the country,
an integral part of Texas
largest metropolitan complex,
a city of hussle without
muscle, where education,
research, culture and entertainment
rival the offerings of cities
four times the size
of a city with a dynamic
and progressive spirit that
long ago said no
to the status quo
and yes to status
quo.
We've got to go
and have a spirit that shows
we dig right in and get the job
done, whether big or small.
We don't care.
We let our neighbors aren't helping
and the spirit is always
there because we've
got to go.
But every city ought to have a
bandshell.
