new partner at cafe
Saratoga, announces
Announcement is made this
week by “Red” Johnson, who has
operated the Saratoga cafe joint-
ly with “Hi” Weideman, that his
new partner in business is L. C.
Spaugh. Spaugh resigned his pos-

chased an interest in the Sara-
toga.
Mr. Spaugh, Jr. who has for
many years been managing the
“Eat-Well” cafe, has already tak-
en up his duties at the Saratoga.
He is an experienced man in
catering to the public and has
joined with Mr. Johnson in plan-

Waco and other points, the Sara-
toga has been unusually active
in serving the trade.
Again the cafe will be operat-
ed around the clock and will re-
new the old slogan of “we never
close.” The new Saratoga is to
undergo considerable change to
make it more attractive and ar-
ranged for speedier service, it is

Jr. high school
student arrested
for burglary
A 16 year old Denison youth,
lirs confessed to stealing a $25
record player from Sam Hous-
ton school and selling it to a
local pawn shop. The boy was ar-
rested by Denison police Monday,
and later turned over to Juven-
ile Officer Brown of Sherman.
Theft of the machine was re-
ported by Houston School Prin-
cipal Everett Weldon Monday
morning. He told officers the re-
cord player had been used Friday
afternoon in Mrs. Vaughn’s room.
It was missing when school con-
vened Monday.
Officers found the machine in
a local pawnshop Monday after-
noon and got the name and des-
cription of the boy who had sold
it. They went to Junior High and
questioned the boy who told them
he had gone to the school Satur-
day, crawled in an unlocked win-
dow, saw the record machine and
took it. He took it outside and
showed it to a younger boy who
had accompanied him and the
younger boy tried to get him to
put it back. Instead he hid the
machine under a building where
new construction is under way,
on the school grounds. He went
home with the younger boy, then
later went to a third boy’s home.
This youth, a 15 year old pupil
at Junior High went back to the
school with him where the culprit
got the machine and took it to
the pawn shop. He told officers
he owed money for dues in the
Sea Scouts, but that he had lost
the money. Police accompanied
him home and had him tell his
mother the whole story. She
promised to pay the $7.50 the boy
had received for sale of the re-
cord player.
The youth was placed in jail
Monday and later turned over to
juvenile authorities. The other
two youths were released to their
parents after questioning, and
told that they too would be ques-
tioned further by juvenile of-
ficers.

31st ANNUAL PRESS MEET
Editors view vast area
industrial Lonsview
One of the treats accorded the
245 delegates of the North and
East Texas Press Association
while being entertained in Long-
view incident to the 31st annual
session of the Association, was
a three-hour trip over part of the
industrial section of that wizard
industrial-wise city of East Texas.
Linked with the trip through the
industrial section was the unveil-
ing of a monument dedicated to
the Joiner discovery well of oil
near the community of London.
In part it was a memorial to
those several hundred deaths in-
cident to the gas explosion in
the New London school. Also the
event commemorated the well-
known character “Joe Rough-
neck” associated with oil field
work.
Last call to Vets
for chance to bid
on forfeited land
AUSTIN—Texas veterans were
reminded Wednesday that they
have only another week to submit
bids on ’ 52 tracts of forfeited
land to be sold by the Veterans’
Land Board on April 3.
Bids will be received until 10
o’clock that morning, when they
will be opened.
The property offered for sale
—located mostly in northeast,
central, and southwest portions
of the state — was originally
bought through the Veterans’
Land Program, but was later for-
feited because original purchas-
ers were behind in their pay-
ments.
Anyone desiring information
about the sale may contact the
Veterans’ Land Board in Austin,
Commissioner Rudder said.

Saunders left Perrin at 2:25
P.m. and the crash occurred
around 2:30 p.m. 13 miles north-
west of the base on Preston Pen-
insula near Pottsboro.
Perrin Public information
spokesman said Saunders did not
report any difficulty during a
brief radio communication with
his base after becoming airborne.
The crash was the fourth this
year, and the third involving a
fatality.
The first report of the crash
was reported by two unidentified
women who live near the scene
of the crash, a Perrin spokes-
man said.
Saunders was married and re-
sided in Denison with his wife at
1601 Lyndana Dr. He was the
son of Mr. and Mrs. Edgar L.

A graduate of Virginia Poly-
technical Institute, Saunders en-
tered the USAF in September
1955 and was stationed at Spence
AFB, Ga. and Webb AFB in Tex-
as before assignment to Perrin.

aircraft this year happened on
Jan. 3 near Bokchito, Okla, when
an F-86D Sabre Jet crashed, and
the pilot parachuted to safety;
Jan. 15 when a 22-year-old stu-
dent pilot died in the crash of his
F-86D jet while on a training
mission north of Perrin; and on
Jan. 24 when a 24-year-old in-
structor pilot died in the crash
of an F-86D jet while on a radar
training mission southwest of
Perrin,
In the course of the trip over
the industrial area, stops were

Co. Here, during the course of
the 90 minutes, President E. B.
Germany delivered a message, al-
so talks by Olin Culberson, and
Jake L. Hamon, chairman of Pet-
roleum Institute. Some 175 guests
were served a three-course din-
ner, the meal prepared in the
well-appointed culinary quarters
of the Steel company. Free bus
transportation was furnished by
Lone Star and the Chamber of
Commerce.
Following the dedication of the

time and rain without hail which
fell during the remainder of the
day and until night brought the

Layne—
ed mutual admiration and respect
among all school administrations
and officials for more than a
quarter century. Vocational edu-
cation advantages now presented
in Denison schools which would
not be available in the high
school of a proposed consolidated
district because of enrollment
limitations were pointed out by
McDaniel.
“It would be a tragedy for
the children of this area”, Mc-
Daniel said, “if students should
be required to attend the type of
high school proposed by such a
consolidation merger, program.
“It grieves me to think we
should hamstring the educational
opportunities of our children”,
he said.
Recommendations of the State
Board of Education concerning
consolidation of schools in Texas
which has brought about consid-
eration of elections such as that
called for Saturday have prov-
ed "very unpopular” throughout
the state, to the extent no legis-
lation has been introduced for
the adoption of such a program
as recommended by the board.
“Deadline for introducing leg-
islation to require consolidation
of smaller schools with larger ad-
jacent schools has passed,” Deni-
son School Superintendent Hay-
den Goodgion advised the meet-
ing. He said a 4/5 house or sen-
ate majority vote to introduce
any such bill at this time “very
unlikely.”
Two more years would be re-
quired before legislation could be
considered on a school consolida-
tion program, he said, and advis-
ed serious consideration should be
given to these facts In the Satur-
day election. “Our welfare is
linked together as far as growth
and development are concerned,”
Goodgion stated, who cited the
equipment costs of science, ath-
letic, and other departments
wbich would hove I* b* provided
in a new aehool system, fn addi-
tion to building and ground cost*,
from taxation. Also cited was
the high percentage of residen-
tial property and small percent-
age of business and industrial
property available for tax pur-
poses in the proposed consolidat- £\
ed school district.
Goodgion advised the group
present a survey had been made
by “competent real estate ap-
praise: s” regarding value of resi-
dence property in the proposed
consolidated school district, and
lh it “in their opinion” should this
property “be inside the Denison
school district their value would
increase 10%.”
He also stated he had been ad-
vised such property would de-
crease in value by 10% if the
consolilation merger is approved
and this property is a part of the
proposed new consolidated school
district. “This 20% property
value spread is a conservative es-
timate, the real estate appraisers
advise us, and could likely be ev-
en more,” Goodgion said.
Teachers Problem
Availability of teachers for a
“rural high school” such as pro-
posed was discussed, and it was
agreed by the group "better qual-
ified” ones would likely not be f
interested in becoming faculty
members of such a consolidated
school.
Residents of Westridge and oth-
er areas in Layne district present
at the Tuesday night meeting in-
dicated they would petition for
separation from Layne to become
a part of Denison school district
should the consolidation plan be
approved in Saturday’s election.
In closing the meeting Holt
told the group “progress will pass
us by in Layne school district if
we vote this school consolidation,”
and urged all present to think
“what is best for our children”
when casting their ballot.
Should the election fail to car-
ry in any one of the four dis-
tricts, the entire consolidation
proposal would be defeated.
Layne school will be polling place
for the Saturday election.
Roy Nicholson, Layne school
hoard chairman, and Harvey
Whitley, board member, have in-
dicated they now oppose the pro-
posed school consolidation pro-
gram. A third member, J. T.
Bush, has not commented.
