THIS SAFE JOB’S LEGAL
They moved a five-ton safe out of Denton’s First State Bank Saturday—in broad
daylight. But it was all very legal. The bank simply moved to its new parking
building immediately south of the present location. The safe, incidentally, couldn’t
have been opened by anyone—it had a time clock setting. The bank will open in
its new quarters Monday. (Story, other pictures on Page 8, Sec. 1) ________

.can withstand longer periods of
standing water. Some grasses, like
King Ranch Bluestem and the
bermuda species, are idea covers
for reservoir dams, he added.
Sponsor of the school was The
Denton-Wise Soil Conservation Dis-
trict. J. L. Coppedge, work unit
conservationist, developed the pro-
gram.
Part of the two-day activities
were devoted to studies of grass
and legumes on Black Mark An-
gus Farm southwest of Lewisville
and on the 1,300-acre B. F. Phil-
lips ranch southwest of Frisco.
H. T. Hardin, foreman of Ben-
brook reservoir was high-point in-
dividual in a grass identification
contest conducted during closing
hours of the school. Roy McCain,
Lewisville Lake ranger, was sec-
ond high and Charles Scott, pro-
ject engineer of Hord Creek res-
ervoir in Coleman County, was
third.
The Denton Board of Education
Friday night approved without a
hitch the 1960-61 budget which in-
cludes a $200-per-year raise for
the city's teachers.
Not a person turned up at the
public hearing to protest the budg.
et. As a matter of fact, only two
persons besides school officials
attended—one was a Record-Chron-
icle reporter and one the wife of
the school superintendent.
The budget for the new year is
11,420,388.
As fl ally approved, the board
amended the proposed budget to
take care of a technicality at the
new Denton State School. The ex-
act amount of the budget amend-
ment won't be known until all
teachers for the Denton State
School have been hired. Teachers'
salaries are dependent on experi-
ence.
The Denton State School class-
room teachers will be included in
the school district's budget but at
no direct cost to the local school
district.
School Supt. Chester Strickland
explained it as a technicality as
the result of a recently passed law
by the Legisla’pire. Heretofore,
state schools had independent
school districts on their own cam-
puses. But the Legislature has de-
cided that no new ones would be
created.
name as if it were spelled "Loya,"
said she checked with a Dallas
law firm before parading to front
of the base and found there was
"nothing to keep me from doing
it." But she said Sheriff Barnes
told her the only place she could
carry her sign was "out in that
field."
The brown-eyed housewife re-
vealed her plans to carry the dis-
armament placards in a letter re-
ceived Friday by the Record-
Chronicle. Parts of her letter are
printed on today's editorial page.
Mrs. Leue, whose husband
teaches philosophy at TWU, em-
phasised that she was represent-
ing no one except herself — "not
even my family.” She said, "This
is as it should be . . . protest is
in the end a purely individual mat-
tor , . . people do things in groups
which they would often hesitate to
attempt alone and, in a sense,
this partially nullifies their im-
pact."
The Dentonite said she has al-
ways believed disarmamet is the
only answer for peace. "But what
really spurred me on,” she said,
"was a radio newscast which said
LEWISVILLE NEWS BUREAU
LEWISVILLE — How important
can a blade of grass be in deter-
mination of utilization values of
land adjacent to North and North-
Central Texas reservoirs?
Plenty, learned representatives
of nine reservoirs in a two-day
school and instruction period at
Lewisville Dam last week.
Conducted by range specialists
of the Soil Conservation Service,
the two-day school emphasized im-
portance of more knowledge of
plants on government land leased
to stockmen for grazing when lake
levels are below normal.
"If you know uses and potential
of a particular plant, you can be
a better judge of its value in de-
termining if that land is making
an economic return,” said Odis
Curry, SCS range conservationist
at Denton.
Many tracts of unused govern-
ment-owned land adjacent to re-
servoirs are leased on an annual
basis to stockmen and farmers for
food and fibre production. Al-
though issued on a high bid basis,
there is no requirement that any
bid be accepted, particularly if the
offered rate is not near the true
rental value, based on productivi-
ty potential.
Also, Curry explained, some
grasses offer better protaction
against soil erosion, while others
