• On. writing a column
Writing a column is easy.
That’s what Paul Grume of the
[Dallas Morning
News told
group of column
writers at a spec
ial meeting to
which he was in-
vited some few
years back. Paul
| put it this way:
! “You ask me
how do I write
my column?
Well, it’s, like this. I am getting
pay for what I am doing and
would do it if I was loafing.” If
we get him, writing his column is
exceedingly a pleasure able activ-
ity. And that, friends, makes it
doubly interesting.
This from a fellow columnist
named Aikan. It is clever.
“Some say Samson was the
first and the greatest of the
world's columnists. With two
columns, he brought down the
house.”
Defined technically from the
standpoint of a printer, or news-
paper man it is "a body of type
on most any subject pressing ver-
tically upon a cutoff rule with
enough basic reading appeal to
stand up.”
Just about the time the thought
tank is ebbing out and brain fag
takes over, some angel from out
■of nowhere comes to the relief of
the writer and lie manages to eat
another day.
The Apostle Paul would have
been a great versatile and quick-
witted writer. He was that kind
of person. When the mob of
Sadusees would tear him apart in
the temple, he saw the Pharisees
and made his appeal in such fa-
shion as to enlist their support and
he was at once the master of the
situation and his speech was such
as to have necessarily made the
leporter of the hour. Luke, who
chronicles the Hook of Acts real-
ized he had copy to cover and
wrote with such definite acumen
and detail that it sounds like a
modern day reporter standing in
the temple waiting for the closing
■of the speech that he might rush
to his office and ready his story
for the world of all days to read.
Writing a column is much like
"writing a novel, or perhaps learn-
ing to swim, as one puts it. You
sttart at the edge of the water and
once you are in, the water seems
to get finer.
When a young person remarks
(they would like to be a writer,
tbal's news to this person. Our
information or advice would be
about as that which the artist,
busy with his brush, gave a young
observer who stuck his head in
the studio, looked a moment, and
said: "I think I’ll be a painter.”
The artist turned slowly his
head and remarked dryly, “Well,
begin.” it’s just that simple,
llut writing is not a simple thing.
This column- “NEWS BEAT"
—is the recipient of many com
pliments. Ami we appreciate
them. We write to each person’s
heart with all our sincerity of
. soul. For what does not burn
your own soul will hardly set the
heart of others afire.
Age limit does not have a whole
lot to do with it.
What warms one heart will
.'somewhat affect another.
We want to feel every word
we write as coining from our own

OFFICIAL PROCLAMATION
By Price Daniel, Governor of Texas
Austin, Texas
GREETINGS:
For each of the past ten years Public Schools Week
in Texas has been set aside as a special time to place in-
creased emphasis on our educational system.
During this period, parents are encouraged to visit
the public schools, and all citizens are urged through
special programs to recognize the tremendous importance
of our system of education. Our goal is to make Texas
public schools the finest in the nation, and to achieve this
our citizens are urged to take an active interest in the
school systems and to cooperate with their school boards,
superintendents, principals and teachers.
Never before in our history has there been a greater
need for educated leadership. As we rush to train young
people in science and technology to keep pace with world
events, it is also important to remember that our public
schools will furnish our leaders of tomorrow with the basic
human, moral and spiritual foundations necessary for
mere advanced training and knowledge.
THEREFORE, I, as Governor of Texas, do hereby des-
ignate the week of February 27-March 4, 1960, as
PUBLIC SCHOOLS WEEK
in Texas.
In official recognition whereof, I hereby affix my
signature this 5th day of January, 1960.

No answer as
to who stole
$500 fur here
No answer of the mystery of
the disappearance of a $500 fur
from Li I lev’s department store
Monday of this week has been
found.
Immediately on missing the
valuable article from a rack on
the top floor where the furs are
kept on display, news was relay-
ed to tlie local police and the
sheriff’s departments. But the
leport from the store Wednesday
morning was no answer as yet as
to exactly when and how the
costly article disappeared.

Some thirty or more represent-

Denison for a period Thursday to
sound out their big annual event
and urge attendance.
The men took time to visit
some of the local stores and
many business men went out to
greet them.
The display at the show this
year will surpass anything the big
event has enjoyed, it is promised

visors, all temporary workers. The
district supervisors, working un-
der the general direction of the
permanent regional field direct-
ors, are responsible for all phases
of the census in their districts.
Duties of the district supervisor
include the recruiting of the crew
leaders, obtaining space for crew
leader training, recruiting and
training a small office staff, re-
viewing the completed question-
naires, and direct supervision of
the field canvass which begins
on April 1.
Prior to the start of the cen-
sus, all households will receive in
the mail an advance census report
form, a new census-taking device
which is designed to speed up the
field canvass and provide more
accurate statistics. Distribution of
this form, which contains the ba-
sic population and housing ques-
tion.', gives the family n chance to
assemble information about each
member in advance of the census
taker’s visit.
Both the State National and
the Citizens National banks Wed-
nesday at their annual election
named their respective staffs of
officers and directors. The an-
nual custom is to practice this
policy and it has proven to be
most democratic and satisfactory
to the officials and stockholders.
Both of the banks have seen a
most prosperous year and have
been a great asset to the econom-
ic advancement and standing of
the city. The usual procedure of
first naming the staff directors
and then the officers was observ-
ed in the election.
The State National announced
the following staff of officers:
W. L. Peterson, president; Ralph
A. Porter, executive vice presi-
dent; E. L. Hopkins, H. P. Wat-
kins, Jack G. Berry and M. J.
Thomas, vice presidents; Theodore |
L. Wilson, cashier; Joe Roewe, |
. assistant vice president; and
. Charles A. Jackson, Mrs. Cather-
ine Clark, and Mrs. Christine Bar-
ringer, assistant cashiers.
State National directors include
Peterson, Porter, Norrman W.
Brillhart, S. J. Brown, Carl Bry-
an, C. C. Dobson, F. H. Kohfeldt,
W. T. Loomis, C. B. Middleton,
Leo Murphy, P. W. Platter,
Charles F. Raschke, Mrs. Clara
Blackford Smith, and J. T. Suggs.
W. J. Rylee, a former Denison-
ian, was re-elerted an advisory
director.
Citizens National
Citizens National officers are:
A. J. Martin, president; W. E.
Winter, vice president and cash-
ier; Joe W. Gay, W. E. Wilcox,
and James A. Woodruff, vice
presidents; M. A. Regensburger
and W. E. Shiflett, assistant vice
presidents; and Mrs. Anna Lou
Bulger, C. C. Groves, Glenn
Isaacs, and George H. Palmer, as-
sistant cashiers.
Citizens directors include W. J.
Smith, chairman of the board;
Martin, Winter, Miss Eloise Mun-
son, F. O. Babcock, J. D. Bond,
George K, Homer, W. B. Munson
HI, Verne W. Murray, and R. W.
Stoddard, Jr.
The North Texas Loan & Trust
Co., an affiliate of the State Na-
tional, re-elected the same direc-
tors that serve the bank. Peter-
son, Porter and Watkins head the
officers, with Jack G. Berry as
secretary-treasurer; Algo M. Carl-
son and Joe E. Roewe, assistant
secretary-treasurers.
The Citizens Investment Co., an
affiliate of the Citizens National,
also has the same directors as the
bank. Its officers include Martin,
president; Miss Eloise Munson,
Woodruff, and Gay, vice presi-
dents; Winter, secretary-treasur-
er; Wilcox, assistant secretary-
treasurer.
Opposition from parties owning
property in the 200 block West
Sears against erecting a building |
oi using one for a Boy Scout cab-
in was so strong at the meeting
Tuesday of the city zoning board
that the board held for the ob-
jectors.
While the interest of the boys I ee•
was indorsed as such by those I V()D OltlCCrS UIT
parties objecting, namely Mrs.
Floyd Lawrence, 212 West Sears,
and B. C. Moore, who owns prop-
erty in that same vicinity, the ob
jeetors included also several oth-
ers who wrote in or phoned their
objections, the board went along
with the objectors in a qualified
way.
The board was in the position
of establishing a precedent should
they yield the point, which point
was to permit a nursery to be
used as a Boy Scout cabin, when
the nursery had not sufficient
surrounding grounds for play as
demanded by Scout work.
The excessive noise, tramping
down their flowers, shrubbery,
throwing rocks at the dogs in the
yard and other objectionable fea-
tures were pressed in their oppo-
sition by Mrs. Lawrence, and Mr.
Moore, as well as such matters
were considered and brought out
by members of the board.
“Like boy*—but”
While considering their inter-
est in boys and the Scout work,
the board went on record as to
the use of a nursery for which
the building under discussion was
erected, which was to be used as
a nursery.
Speaking for the boys and their
behavior, the pastor of St. Pat-
rick’s church, Itev. Father Zach-
ry, stated the conduct of Scouts
in various cities where he had
ministered was commended by all

ficers for the Denison club were
formally installed at a noon
meeting of the rlub Tuesday, the
speaker being Lt. Gov. J. Cullen
Sowers, the program at the noon
luncheon at Hotel Denison.
Jim Bradley was chairman of
the program and presented the
speaker. In a clear and distinct
enunciation of his words with no
affectation but in forceful man-
ner, the speaker made his mes-
sage effective and members of
the club vowed it one of the best
they had ever listened to.
In extemporary style and in a
personal and meaningful way Mr.
Sowers carried his audience along
with ease. Void of cant and
meaningless joking, the dignified
message was a treat in every

effort to locate gas or oil in a

some weeks back.
The result is a heavy gas pres-

area.
The information was brought to
the Pres- by Dan Barnard of the
Hagerman community last Mon-
oay. Mr. Barnard reports consid-
erable excitement followed the re-
sult of latest effort which carried
with it, until a few days back,
prolonged concern of a disappoint-
ing nature.
The latest effort which was de-
cided on as to taking the hole on
down further resulted in drilling
down to the 16,000 foot area.
The well was temporarily aban-
doned when hard sand and rock

When the gas blew in last
weekend, the award will be such
to the drillers as to make it worth

pressure and of what commercial
value the gas may be, is yet to be
learned, but the gas has been lo-
cated and in paying quantities
and will mean added activities in
this area.
