Denton Man Who Fought in
Spanish Amer icon War Remembers
By GEORGE BURLAGE
Record-Chronicle Staff Writer
THERE IS SOMETHING about Lonnie F. Rowlett Sr.
of 617 S. Elin that reflects the rise of the United
States as a world power.
Today, when approximately 40 million American vet-
erans observe their day—Veterans Day 1962—old vets
like Rowlett will stand head and shoulders above the
rest. For he’s one of Denton’s two living Spanish-Amer-
ican War veterans.
A veteran of the Filipino Insurrection fighting follow-
ing the Spanish-American War, the 86-year-old-Dentonite
is one of the few living today who helped the United
States breach its historic continentalism and become a
world power.
TWO WORLD WARS, the Korean conflict, foreign in-
terventions and threats of more interventions, plus
I several “banana wars” by the Marines have taken place
since. And Rowlett, his mind alert of past events and of
current happenings, thinks there may have to be a repeat
• in Cuba- 64 years after the war that put him in uniform.
“A lion will bite the hand that feeds him,” he said
of the present Cuban leaders. “We may have to do it
all over again.”
ROW LETT IS NOT MAKING idle or threatening talk
when he discusses war. He grew up in Jacskon,
Tenn., and remembers the destruction left by America's
own Civil War.
“I came to Denton in 1897 when the courthouse was
being completed,’ he remarked. “It was the prettiest
building I had ever seen—and it still is. Throughout
the South the public buildings were old, and ugly patch-
es hit the shell holes of the fighting.”
While politicians debated the fate of the United
ing.
5. The House bill contained a
A Right To Be Proud
Everyone in Denton County has a right to be proud
again this year of the community spirit mirrowed in
the highly successful United Fund campaign to
raise $66 000 for 10 youth and welfare agencies for
the coming year.
The fact that every community participating but
Lewisville has gone over the goal each community
set for itself is an indication that Denton Countians
want to make their communities even better by pro-
viding the funds needed for the less fortunate as
well as for the character-building of our youth.
Because of the county’s continued rapid growth,
not everyone was contacted during the month-long
drive, and thus even more money is expected to
come in. Last year about $1,100 was received after
the final report meeting of volunteer leaders. If
the same holds true this year, the 10 agencies will
have about $67,000, an all-time high figure to keep
up with increasing needs.
Many of the busiest people in Denton, Justin,
Pilot Point, Corinth and Lewisville worked untiring-
ly in this year's campaign and deserve a great deal
of credit. In Denton itself, hundreds of volunteers
made the drive successful through the coordination
of such leaders as Dr. John A Guinn, John Carter,
Tom Harpool, William E. Drenner, Ed Williams, Dr.
Harold Farmer, Mrs. Mary Claude Gay and Mrs Hal
Norgaard. Hundreds more helped these division
leaders and deserve equal thanks of the community.
This, you will remember,‘is the second year in a
three-year reorganization period of the United Fund,
and it is significant that the reorganization has
brought about the second successive achievement of
the goal. Until last year, the United Fund had
not met its quota in a decade.
Even with the reorganization, the Denton County
United Fund probably has smaller administrative
costs than any comparable drive in the Southwest.
That means your gifts go farther to help meet the
needs for which they were intended. And it
also means that scores of people donate time and
talents far more valuable than Denton could afford
if it were paying salaries to these men and women.
The Denton County United Fund, thus, is the real
organization it ought to be And you have a right
to be proud to live in a community that cares.
them.
Asked how the Filipinos react-
ed to the Americans, Rowlett re-
plied, "Wouldn't you be happy
to be taken out of bondage?”

But it does have a reason for being, and the may-
ors of Denton County's incorporated cities already
are at work to give it a name and propose some offi-
cers. Shortly after the first of the year, it will be a
full fledged organization.
It is composed of the city officials and civic lead-
ers of every community in Denton County. The
idea originated with the Denton City Council, a group
which long has felt the need for better communica-
tions between the cities in Denton County.
At its organizational meeting last week, mayors
and other community leaders from other cities
voiced the same hope.
An organization such as this will be a great help in
planning such inter-community problems as highway
routing, water supply and future growth.
This is one organization that is long-overdue. It
probably won’t meet more than four times a year
and it, of course, will have no authority over anyone.
But getting together and discussing mutual problems
of a fast-growing region will benefit everyone in
