Denison’s Part Fish Rodeo
Set at $75,000 for Season
Showing Sunday and Monday at Rialto
With the goal set as $75,000
Overall for Denison merchants and
business men to pledge as their
part of the giant Rish Rodeo on
Lake Texoma this year, pledges
are mounting each week with the
sum at the half-way mark near
the middle of the week. It is be-
lieved the entire sum will be in
sight in a few more days and be-
fore the official time for opening
of the rodeo May 1st. Judd Samp-
son is chairman of the sub-com-
mittee for the Sportsman’s club
which is sponsoring the movement
under direction of the Denison
Chamber of Commerce.
While the fish rodeo last year
was confined to Denison, early in
the game last year it was seen that
plans should be on a larger scale
for this season, consequently a
move was started and consum-
mated whereby several other bor-
der towns on both sides of the
lake in Texas and Oklahoma are
in on the deal. So far they include
Sherman, Gainesville, Madill, with
Marietta, Pottsboro and Durant a
possibe ally group.
This year, under the coopera-
tive plan, possibly 15,000 fish will
be tagged with an estimated $250,-
000 in prizes to be placed on the
fish. The rodeo will run from
May 1 until September 30. Each
group of fish tagged by an indi-
vidual town will carry the name
of the town on the tag and suc-
cessful anglers may take the tag
to that town to collect.
Each fish will carry a minimum
of $100 in prizes with a maximum
of $200 set. All individual prizes
will be valued at a minimum of
either $5 in cash or $750 in mer-
chandise.
The Lake Texoma Sportsmen’s
club has put up $500 in cash on a
special fish, and the directors said
that each month the fish remains
in the lake an additional $100 in
cash will be added.
A “Name the Pish” contest is
currently being conducted by the
club directors with $25 offered
to the person selecting the best
name. Entries may be mailed to
the chamber of commerce in Deni-
son, Sherman, Gainesville or Ma-
dill. All entries must be addressed
to the fish name contest editor.
The deadline for filing entries has
been set as March 31.

By *,™ri,»«tiln(r the Horizontal Line, Flower Borders Make One-Story
Houses Appear Larger.
Landscape planting about a house
should be a decoration, carefully
planned to enhance the beauty of
the building, completing an attrac-
tive picture as it is viewed from
th? street.
When tall trees dwarf the house,
and over-large shrubs and ever-
greens hide it, and prevent the oc-
cupants from seeing out of the win-
dows, the planting has not achieved
its purpose.
Examples of such failures are
frequently given by modem one-
story homes planted with the shrubs
and evergreens which have long
been the conventional materials to
use about two-story homes with high
basements, which needed a band of
green to “tie them to the ground.”
One-story houses, with the main
floor little higher than ground level,
demand a different treatment, by
which they will not be made to
seem lower, but broader, an effect
which is achieved by emphasizing
the horizontal line.
Only low growing plants should
and the brightly colored annuals of
dwarf habit are widely accepted as
the most suitable plants for this pur-
pose. Their color gives a welcome
touch, and they leave the view from
windows unobstructed. Seed may be
started early in seed-boxes indoors,
and grown to a size suitable for
transplanting by the time the soil
can be prepared. There are many
varieties which will grow quickly
from seed sown directly in the bor-
der where the plants are to grow,
and they will bloom until freezing
weather comes in the fall. Besides
providing a decoration for the
house, many annuals are suitable
for cutting, to be used in the house.
Dwarf double French marigolds,
for planting next to the house, as
shown in the illustration, come in
tones of orange, yellow and maroon,
with several two-tone blends of
these colors. Alyssum Violet Queen,
used as a ribbon planting in the
foreground, blooms freely all sum-

First Week April
Named Clean-Up
Time for Denison
Clean-up time in Denison for
this spring has been officially set
as the frst week in April and ev-
ery one is urged to get under the
job of making the city spotlessly
clean. A proclamation will be is-
sued by the city and every avail-
able means of hauling off all trash
will be at the disposal of the peo-
ple, it is planned.
Denison last year did a splendid
job of it, but since the winter was
characterized by unusual rains and

Committeemen Visit Cities
Committeemen representing the
Denison and Sherman Chambers of
Commerce visited communities ov-
er the county Saturday to ac-
quaint local leaders with the pro-
posal and leave copies of an elec-

Prank Jennings, Sr., C. W. Pier-

very best, it is highly necessary
that the clean-up job this year be
outstanding.
Heretofore the Garden club of
the city has been the sole sponsor-
ing agency, but the Chamber of
Commerce this year joins in the
effort also, naming a general
chairman in the person of Noel

committee from all the civic and

clubs. Meetings are being held to
push all angles of the sanitary

thorough.

ready building plenty of roads to

have been sold.

to be on a larger scale; pointed
out how some big hotel interest
might be interested; indicated
that large club houses could be
erected which would draw; told
of how many persons could be in-
duced to build summer homes on
the Texas side of the lake; how
the club could form a public out-

enjoy picnics; establish bus routes
to the lake, and do other things
which would make the lake popu-
lar and increase its earning capac-
ity for the people of this area.

OF DANCING GIVES VET
PROGRAM AT McKINNEY
The G. B. McKinney school of
dancing gave the main features of
entertainment at the McKinney
Veterans Hospital Sunday after-
noon, with several students of his
class presenting a varied style of
numbers from skate to toe danc-
ing.
Mr. McKinney, one of the di-
rectors of the National Associa-
tion of Dancing Artists, gave sev-
eral numbers and demonstrated
treatment in the house. Republi-
can leaders in the lower chamber
expect tlie single-package program
calling for $0,250,000,000 in eco-
nomic and military ad to be ready
for floor debate soon. This pro
| gram differs from the senate ver-
sion, which provided only for $5,-
! 300,000,000 in economic aid to
j Europe. The house bill ties in mili-
Itary aid lo Greece andTurkcy, and
also aid to China.
Several house Vules committee
'members are reported to be hostile
to the so-called single-package
bill, and senate leaders also op-
pose including the military provi-
sions.
However, the final house bill is
expected to keep the military aid
clauses in. The republican leaders
have agreed to drive for a final
vote on the overall bill by April 1.
Then the differences will have
to be ironed out in conference,.
House members hope it can be
done by April 10th, in time for
final action before the Italian
elections on April 18th.
But even with foreign aid out
of the way, there seems little
chance of adjournment of congress
unless and until the world situa-
tion Improves.
President Truman’s proposals
for revival of the draft and adop-
tion. of universal military training
still have to be thrashed out.
The universal military training
bill comes up before a senate com-
mittee this week. The armed serv-
ces committee will hear Dr. Karl

chusetts institute of technology.

N. E. Texas Square
Dance Festival At
Tyler April Third
TYLER, Texas.—The Northeast
Texas Square Dance Festival,
sponsored by the Tyler Recreation
Department, will be held in Tyler
or: Saturday, April 3, 1948
The dance will be in the Camp
Ford Skating Rink, two miles
northeast of the Tyler city limits
on the Gladewater highway (U. S.
271).
Only fifty-eight squares can
dance at a time so the ‘ssharc
space” plan will 1m used with lo-
cal East Texas Square Dance clubs
acting as hosts.
Well known callers from the
northeast Texas are are being in
vited to assist with the program.
Of course,” the director said.
