BY ROYCE BROWN
It’s seldom that I write any
article for the Cedar Hill
Chronicle. In fact, I can't
recall ever writing a story,
editorial, or column for the
paper unless it was some-
thing that affected both Dun-
canville and Cedar Hill.
Often, when an article
is of Interest for both com-
munities, such as the Lake-
view Reservoir this week,
identically same stories are
published in both the Dun-
canville Suburban and Cedar
Hill Chronicle.
‘ •**
This week, I am writing
"Cedar Post" for Peggy due
to the sad circumstances
which occurred Saturday. For
anyone who hasn’t already
heard, Peggy's father was
killed Saturday in a pick-up
truck-moving van accident
near Fairfield Saturday.
Services for her father, Mr.
Earl Hindman, who lived at
3722 S. Ledbetter, Dallas,
were held Monday at the First
Baptist Church of Cedar Hill.
Thus, this is the reason that
much of today's Chronicle was
composed by the Suburban
♦ staff.
***
While having to write this
column under unfortunate cir-
cumstances this week, it does
give us an opportunity to say
"Thank You* to Peggy for the
fine services of a top-notch
associate.
Two or three years ago when
we first decided to start the
Chronicle, I had my doubts that
Peggy could handle the job.
She had served as our unpaid
correspondent for four or five
years, and so I offered the Job
to her.
I knew how she must be
t tied down with her large
family. I also knew that she
had only a limited amount of
formal schooling (it would be a
surprise to most readers to
know how far she went in
school—she probably doesn’t
have any idea 1 even knowX
Anyhow, she was given the
job. Not only have I been
satisfied with her work, but I
have been Impressed with her
capabilities.
She'S been a dandy I
She’s always Peggy—da-
doing more than is expected
of her, ahe never gets e«-
ruahed. She Just keeps at it.
Our readers might not know
• that she sella all the ads.
writes all the stories, makes
nearly all the pictures, runs
the books, writes all the head-
lines, pastes up all the pages,
and carries the completed
pages to the printers.
What we at the Suburban
do is set the type and ads and
address the papers.
Oh yes, we have employed
two professional writers over
the years at Duncanville. Nei-
ther was able to write or get
the complete story as well as
Peggy. And one of them had
a college degree and was edi-
tor of the college's yearbook.
***
Peggy runs the Chronicle.
She makes the decisions. She
writes the checks. She sets
editorial policy, sometimes
not consistent with the
Suburban's.
We have had two or three
complaints about her since she
went to work. An editor is
usually in a position to receive
more than that any week.
A few times I have suggest-
ed how she might handle a
situation. She has said, "Now
Royce, I live in Cedar Hill. I
live with these folks. 1 don’t
think this would be the right
thing to do." I have agreed.
***
I feel that a newspaper
should look out for its town's
Interests. What may be the
best for Duncanville, for ex-
ample, might not be the best
for Cedar Hill.
In most cases, however,
what is good for Duncanville
is also good for Cedar Hill.
Or vice versa.
***
I do think the two communi-
ties should work more closely
together. They need to work
together in securing the im-
provement of Highway 67 all
the way to the Dallas County
line. They should work to-
gether to develop an Industrial
park between the communi-
ties. They should work togeth-
er in advertising and promot-
ing this end of the county,
•e*
The Chronicle and the
Suburban are demoted to
carrying the news and promot-
ing our respective towns.
The papers are only as good
as the communities make
them.
Sure, I know a lot of folks
have complaints about the
papers and the editora.

the Joshua 19.
Gary Allen, Joshua quarter-
for the Owls’ first score.
Toberny ran over another

the second quarter after
Joshua captured a bad Cedar

The Cedar Hill Longhorns
will host the Midlothian Pan-

Friday night.
The Longhorns are unde-
feated in district competition
and have high hopes of defeat-
ing the Panthers three years
in a row.
Although Midlothian's won-
loss record (2-5-1) is not
real impressive, they have
the physical ability to tie ex-
tremely tough.
"They are very large and
have several outstanding foot-
ball players," Coach Randy
Roten said.
Walter Miller, 195-pound
tackle, and Mlxe Foster, 180
pound tailback, are outstand-
ing players, Roten said.
"You can expect to see a
very good Midlothian team
Friday night," Coach Roten
commented. "If they can
manage to beat us, they will
have had a successful sea-
son.

We have been hearing rumors about the "wild game pre-
serve" being built west of Cedar Hill We even noticed a small
mention of it recently in one of the Dallas papers.
***
The "wild game preserve," as we understand it. is not
located in Cedar Hill, but just outside the city limits. It is
to be situated between Mansfield and Belt Line Road.
***
A 500-acre farm there has had its fence rows cleared.
Bids are presently being taken for a chain link fence 12 feet
high to be constructed around the property. Between the
ground and the fence, a concrete curb is to be poured.
Furthermore, the Chronicle has learned that lots of money
is to be spent in building the preserve. Perhaps $1 million.
The Chronicle has had several persons to ask about the
"preserve." We had heard rumors that a race tract, either
for autos or motorcycles, was being built there.
We even heard a rumor that a tower restaurant, like the one
talked a few years ago for high-in-the-sky, would be built in
the game preserve.
***
We were able to contact the owner of the land and he, indeed,
explained that a game preserve is being built. The raceway and
tower restaurant, though, are only rumors.
The owner asked that we withhold the facts of what is to be
done until plans are finalized and after lie has cleared the
matter with the City Council and otlier leaders of the community.
Although the property is not located in the city, he wants
Cedar Hill folks to know that he isn’t putting in something that
is offensive or detrimental to the town
He considers the area "in Cedar Hill."
***
After talking with tlie person on the telephone, we were
excited about the project. It should help the businesses of Cedar
Hill. It should help put the name of Cedar Hill on the map.
It should offer more Jobs to local residents, especially for
Northwood and Dallas Baptist College students.
It should be a boom to the whole southwest end of the county.
It’s a terrific idea! As far as we know, there's nothing like
it in the whole United States.
We would like to tell our readers more. But first, he must
finalise plans. And he wants to sit down and first discuss it with
Cedsr Hill's leaders.
We feel that the City Council, Chamber of Commerce, and
other groups of Cedar Hill should contact
out to the town Assist and encourage him in every way
possible.
What thia man has to offer Is a dream that should be turned
into a reality It shall be turned Into a reality, but he needs
every one‘a support.
The old Anderson place weal of town will soon be busting with
activity The area could soon become the delight eg Americans
everywhere!
