And we know a lot of other things about Denton--

Our knowing about them, in this case, is not enough.
Denton has already indicated in more Okays than one ’

So the thing Denton must de now is to tell others

best do that by writing our Congressmen—Sen. Lyndon

- A Practical Suggestion
To Prove What You Think
DENTON has often been described as a unique city.
And it seems to be living up to that description more
and more every day.
The latest example of this attribute is the serious
consideration being given Denton as the possible site
for the nation’s first underground, bomb-proof civil
defense control center—a three million dollar project.
The President, as already has been revealed, has in-
cluded in his proposed budget the funds to build this
center somewhere in the United States. Congress has
not yet approved the budget nor has a site been defin-
itely chosen. But informed sources feel Denton has
just as good a chance of being the site as any one of
*. a half dozen other cities which would like to have the
nuclear-age facility.
Dentonites, of course, realize the unique advantages
this city has for such a site that few other communities
in the nation can equal We are well aware that our -
highway facilities are second to none—as a matter of
fact more progress has been made on the national inter-
state highway program in the Dallas area than any
• other region in the country. Much of that progress
has been in Denton County. More will be felt by sum-
mer when the expressway is completed from north to
south across the county. Certainly highway facilities
would be an integral part of any civil defense facility.
Dentonites also know the values of the city m b
residential community- You can go a long way before
you find a better city in which to live, partly because
of the educational facilities and all of the advantages
two large state universities offer a city of 30,000.
Dentonites also are well aware that the five-state
Southwestern headquarters of the Office of Civil and
Defence Mobilisation is already located in Denton. To
even consider moving the headquarters would not only
: be uneconomical but also quite impractical.
The government’s stand might not be such a weak
one if the American firm involved were the only U.S.
company making the turbines. And it might not be
such a weak reply if there weren’t the old adage that
the best way to keep busy is by effective competition.
What rell is painful, though, is the fact that you
and I must pay 1300,000 more than necessary to equip
a power plant in Arkansas. ■

FUTURE IMPACT
I need not tell you the need for
more and better - trained techni-

ness and industry in our commun-

est single factor in the quality and
quantity of this supply now is the
condition of our state colleges and
universities.
According to the Texas Employ-
ment Commission, 45 per cent at
the technical manpower Texas
industry has come from the "18

Dehr Sir:
In reply to the letter of Louise
Young published in Monday’s Ree
ord-chronile, I wish to state that
it is unfortunate that she did not
attend the cittzens' meeting held
at the high school last Wednesday
night. Those of us who attended
felt reassured at many of the
questions were discussed and clar-
ified. Nothing was ineluded arbi-
trarily In the charter without long
hours of study, and perhaps many
citizens do not realize that many
parts of the charter are not up
, through state regulations and can
not be changed by the Charter
Commission.
If Mrs. Young and others who are
criticizing the charter had attend-
. ed Wednesday's meeting, they
would have become aware of the
fact that more than 2,500 hours
were devoted to the writing of the
new charter, exclusive of the time
