Denison Day Texas
State Fair Oct. 18
Kiwanians sponsoring
Denison day at the Texas State
Fail' has been revived and will be
sponsored by the Denison Kiwanis
club, it was announced Tuesday
at the weekly meeting of the club.
Announcement from Dallas
that the day set for the event will
be Saturday, October 18 and of-
ficials of the Fair promise a warm
welcome. The usual police escort
into the fair ground, meeting the
Denison jrroup at the city's edge,
is planned. As usual, also, the
Denison police department will
make available police escort for a
straight through drive from Den-
ison to Dallas.
All details of the proposed day
will be worked out by the local
club and the hope is that Deni-
son will make it the same big suc-
cess it did for the seven or eight
years the club sponsored the
event. The club some years ago
voted to drop the event as its
child, but Denison day, by unani-
mous vote of the club, has been
resurrected.
Two weeks active
duty troop carrier
squadron in August
DALLAS. — More than 400
members of the 69th Troop Car-
rier Squadron (Reserve) will re-
port to Ellington Air Force Base,
Texas, for two weeks active duty
starting August 17, 1958, accord-
ing to Lt, Col. William J. Cran-
dall, squadron commander.
The 69th Troop Carrier Squad-
ron, successor to the 448th Fight-
er Bomber Wing (famed Lone
J'tar Wing), is made up of week-
end warriors from the Fort Worth
-Dallas area. The 148th Fighter
Bomber Wing was deactivated and
the fi9th activated on November
1, 1957, when the mission of the
Continental Air Command was
changed.
Mission of the 69th is to train
and maintain flying proficiency in
the C-119 "Packet" cargo air-
craft in readiness to airlift troops
and supplies in event of a na-
tional emergency.
Last year, the Hensley Field
Reserve unit took flight training
in its newly acquired F-86 Sabre
jets at Memphis, Tenn. This year,
many of the pilots who attained
jet pilot status will become pro-
ficient in the twin-engined C-119.
At Ellington, the 69th will be
integrated into its parent unit, the
33rd Troop Carrier Wing (Alamo
Wing) from Brooks AFB, Texas,
for extensive training. The 69th
and two other troop carrier squad-
rons make up the 433rd.
"This will he a new experience
for the air reservists from Hens-
ley," Col. Crandall said. "We
have always been a unit unto our-
• elves, and even now on monthly
training weekends we are virtual-
ly on our own. However, I think
our men will make an excellent
showing and will <'ome away from
summer encampment with a feel-
ing of accomplishment."

Rebuilding walls
History tells of a certain Ne-
hemiah, inflamed with a passion
to see the walls
of his old home
town of Jerusa-
lem rebuilt, or-
ganized a party
in a distant land
where his people
were in quasi-
slavery, equip-
ped the party
with proper im-
plement ation
and set out to fulfill his mission.
In the heart of all of us, no
matter how far we may travel,
there is always a yen to see the
old places of our younger days,
have recalled to one the labors of
their grandparents and renew ac-
quaintance who were ones no
more remote than 20 years back.
The PRESS office was visited
this week by a granddaughter of
a man of historic memory who es-
tablished and publishe 1 for years
"The Denison Gazeteer," the late
B. C. Murray. Our distinguished
visitor was Mrs. L. J. McDonald,
granddaughter of Mr. Murray.
One of the special missions of the
granddaughter was to try and lo-
cate a set of bound volumes rep-
resenting the complete issues of
her grandfather's publication.
Treasured by the family, Mrs.
McDonald is hoping she may lo-
cate the bound volumes.
Pleasant conversationalist, keen
eye, quick wit, marked Mrs. Mc-
Donald, or "Florence" as she was
known in the local schools of Den-
ison. Contemporaneous with
many of present-day Denisonians,
her visit is proving most thrilling
and interesting, though marred
somewhat by the fact her grand-
mother "is a patient at Madonna,
suffering from a limb .somewhat
impeded in its locomotion.
Her grandfather, one of the
leading thinkers in his day here,
was one of a group of intellect-
uals from the circle that laid
foundations here. In the group of
intellectuals were W. B. Munson,
the first, Will Munson, head of
the Denison Nursery, Dr. M. M.
Morrison, Dr. J. C. Feild, N. H. L.
Decker, J. T. Suggs, E. J. Smith,
Alex W. Acheson and several
others. These men on their own,
financed a xroup of lecturers who
gave addresses on various topics
from science to religion.
Mrs. McDonald retains a bit of
memory of such events us she re-
calls the conversations with her
grandfather, whom she holds in
leverence as a foiward-looking
mar. with a vision needed in his
day.
Mrs. McDonald has been away
from the city for ► several years
and now resides in Las Vegas, but
she, with several others of the
Thomas-Murray family, keep in
touch with Denison through the
columns of THE PRESS, which
Mrs. Mc says "it is one of the
treats of my life to look forward
to the weekly column and record
of what is Koing on in Denison."
Every remaining member of the
family descending from the days
of Mr. Murray, receive THE
PRESS through the courtesy of
the grandmother, now a patient
in Madonna.
Perhaps this reminiscing on the
part of the visitor will prove a
stimulant in some fashion to those
whose memories of yesteryear nr?
stirred. If so, let it be known
through THE PRESS. Meantime,
Mi-s. Mc hopes to locate the
bound volumes of her grandfa-
ther's paper.

Perrin Air Force Base procure-
ment officer is requesting bids

Murder charges
filed in death
of local youth
W. C. Parker, 67 year old
Denison farmer, has been charged
with murder in the death of Eddie
Gene Thomas, 17, whom he con-
fessed shooting in his watermelon
patch in the Hyde Park commun-
ity Tuesday night, July 22. Park-
er was released on $5,000 bail.
The Thomas boy died in, Madon-
na hospital 36 hours after he was
shot in the right leg, arm and side
with a 20-gauge shotgun. Doc-
tors, however, said death was not
caused by the shot, nor could they
find any evidence of fatal injuries
caused in the fall which the boy
suffered while running from the
melon patch. He was one of sev-
eral boys caught taking melons
from the Parker field. An autop-
sy performed by Justice Homer
Gaddy failed to reveal cause of
death.
Parker told officers he had suf-
fered frequent loss of melons
from gangs of raiders and on this
particular night he was lying in
wait for them, and shot into the
group when he saw them enter his
field.
Thomas was the son of Mr. and
Mrs. J, L. (Lit) Thomas.

Earliest U.S.A.
in posters at
State Fair in Oct.
"Posters USA," an exhibition
of more than 70 American post-
ers ranging from the earliest in
America through World War I,
will be a featured attraction at
the 1958 State Fair of Texas, Oct.
4-19. "Posters USA" will occupy
the entire exhibit space in the
huge Texas Hall of State at State
Fair Park in Dallas.
The exhibit at the State Fair
will be the only showing in Texas
and one of 20 exhibitions of
"Posters USA" planned in the
United States during a two-year
period. The nation-wide tour be-
gan in September of 1957 at the
Detroit Historical Museum and
the exhibiton is being circulated
by the American Federation of
Arts.
The posters to be exhibited
were selected by the editors of
American Heritage, The Magazine
of History, from the Levi Berman
collection. "Posters USA" is the
first national showing of this
unique collection.
Mr. Berman spent over 30
years assembling more than 5,000
posters, some purchased from oth-
er collectors and others rescued
from attics and barns.
Tho outdoor poster came into
its own about fifty years after
the earliest known American ex-
ample was produced—"The Great
India Elephnnt" in 1832. Grad-
ually, posters became the most
important item in the budgets of
competing circuses, outgrowths of
the early wild animal shows.
"Posters USA" is divided into
nine sections. The largest "The
Bright Lights," presents over thir-
ty examples devoted to the thea-
tre and its stars, among them Lil-
lian Ru.-sell, Anna Held, Frank
Mayo as the ever-popular Davy
Crockett, and James O'Neill as
the Count of Monte Cristo. Other
categories show children offering
the products of industry, minstrels
with th" rolorful costumes and in-
genious musical instruments, the
pretty girl as salesman, circus and
wild animal shows, recruiting
posters, fashion posters, and a
potpourri" group selected for ar-
tistic or historic merit. This last
section includes the only poster
Toulouse-Lautrec designed for an
American firm.
Beautification drive
giving city new look
It is no unusual -sight these

dows, sign "removers" tearing

activity as the city proper con-
tinues in its beautification and
face lifting program.
Twenty down town business
buildings have undergone a re-
newing or are in the process, since
the Chamber of Commerce beau-
tification campaign opened in
June, according to announcement
by W. L. Peterson, chairman of
the downtown area.
