Relief from tax values
sought of city council
VERSE FOR THIS WEEK
Beloved, do not be surprised at the
ordeal that has come to test you, as though
some foreign experience befell you.
—I Peter 4:12
VOLUME 32—NUMBER 52
After more than two hours of
public hearings on street paving
ut its Wednesday afternoon meet-
ing, the city council took fasti
action, and referred a zoning re-
quest to the planning commission,
approved appearance before the
city council of property owners
for discussion of property assess-
ed for tax valuations, opened bids,
then deferred action on several
matters because of the late hour,
until another meeting.
A request from Robertson
Real Estate requesting property
of a client, Lury Greathouse, at
1000 West Crawford be rezoned
from a property to business class-
ification. Back of the property
would be used for a radio and tel-
evision shop if rezoned.
The request was referred to the
planning commission for attention
and consideration.
Hotel Denison manager H. W.
Aderholt wrote a letter appealing
city tax assessment values on the
hotel land and improvements, and
asked that an appeal hearing be-
fore the council be granted.
A letter from Viola Milliard of
730 West Bond appealing city tax
assessment values on her property
and asking for a city council
hearing was also presented for
council consideration.
Joseph E. Bilger of 1105 Oak
Ridge Drive registered his disap-
proval of his property values as
assessed by the city tax office, and
requested a hearing before the
city council to appeal.
All three are to appear before
the city council at its next meet-
ing, and city manager Harner was
authorized by the council to noti-
fy them regarding their appear-
ances.
A request by Mrs. C. R. Bar-
ham, Sears manager, to permit
parking space use in front of the
store at 222 West Main for a spe-
cial trailer display from July 18
through 23 was denied. Bay for
use of time on the parking meters
was offered by Mrs. Barham, but
"with regrets" the request was
turned down.
Johns-Manville was successful
bidder on 4,000 feet of 8-inch
water main for the city with a
bid of $2.30 per foot, and their
low bid was accepted by action of
the council. Five other firms bid
cn the pipe, all higher than J-M.
A bid by W. H. Bedigo of
$137.50 for sale of the hay crop
on city property at Rnndell Lake
reservoir was accepted by action
of the council.
An ordinance further regulat-
ing parking meters in the down-
town area and issuance of addi-
tional tickets each two hours of
overparking after the first two
hours Was adopted by council ac-
tion. Suggested by a report of
the off-street parking committee
headed by chairman Charles Har-
ris, regulations of the new ordi-
nance will be put into effect as(
provided by law.
Approval of running water lines
to Jenny I^ane property owners in
southwest Denison at an estimated
cost of $3,290 to nine homes was
given council action. Broperty
owners will be expected to put up
the money before the work be-
gins.
Action was deferred until an-
other council meeting on securing
architectural .services by a hos-
pital study group suggestion of
converting to public use facilities
of MKT Employees' Association
hospital on North Tone ave. De-
tailed study of an off-street park-
ing committee report, a request
lor street work, a reimbursement
request from Denison Lions club,
and a north Denjson drainage
problem, were also deferred to a
later city council meeting.
Approval by the city council
was given to a planning commis-
sion recommendation granting
special permission for use as a
laundry of the former "Stinger"
location across from senior high
school on South Mirick avenue.

some people's opinions, were made

9 A friend indeed
Time does a lot of things to
Some of us grow
snooty, untoucha-
ble, hard—think-
ing to be able to
turn off feelings
of sympathy and
good will for oth-
ers is a weak-
ness. Such brag
can turn it off
like the tortoise
the rainfall. Hut
what is good in a
tortoise is bad in a man.
Speaking of tenderness, mercy
and compassion and "bowels" the
Holy Scriptures refers to the seat
of mercy and compassion as being
the bowels, and links "bowels and
tender mercy." Many persons,
with deep grief and unrequieted
disturbance of the soul, register
their troubles with the physical.
And the two are connected indis-
solubly. A light heart, unperturb-
ed spirit, a joyful heart are al-
ways linked with the person who
is at his best. Even the laugh re-
quires less strain on the face than
the scowl and the company is al-
ways far more pleasant. Such a
person always attracts rather than
repels. He draws friends like the
clover field attracts the honey
bee.
The young man who courts the
girl he would love to have as his
wife, does not show an ugly dis-
position nor will he let outward
acts or bad dress and gross Eng-
lish mar what chances he might
have to win her heart.
And it is trifle to repeat that
such a wooer should continue
with the same decorum if he
wishes to hold the affection and
love of the one who was drawn
to him by his good gestures.
To let down on the practices
which brought love's victorious
conquest is to lose the prize of the
heart. Napoleon said: "Conquest
made me—conquest must keep
me."
• Female of the specie*
As to the female of the species,
she is not the terrible one. No
man ever comes to his best but he
has a loving wife at his side to
encourage him and receive him
when he comes home and sends
him likewise out into the business
of his life.
We do not go for those lovelorn
dishes which are part of a great
many publications today. They
are so impractical, so superficial,
so lacking in real life that it is
about like trying to raise a blister
with a mustard plaster on a
wooden leg. Canned ways of
being a real lover as found in the
books of "How to make love" are
as trash "when a body meets a
body"—no matter whether in the
rye or a chance meet of only a
moment.
• Friendship between men greater
And what arouses love of the
marriage altar kind also is at the
base of real friendships. And, it
seems, there are more great
friendships between men than the
other sex. Damon and Bythias.
Jonathan and David. And I might
add the friendship of this writer
and my former editor-in-chief, the
late Henry Ellis. I shall never
forget when we parted at the top
of the old steps of the Herald as
both of us were up for the gallows
of envy. Barting hi.s words were:
"I love you as I never loved an-
other man. David and Jonathan,
Damon and Bythias had nothing
on our friendship." And reaching
my cheek and planting a kiss, he
stated: "I'd go to hell for you."
A Hand Upon Your Shoulder
When a feller hasn't got a cent,
And is feelin' kind of blue
And the clouds hang thick and
dark
And won't let the sunshine thru'
It's a great thing, oh my brethren,
For a fellow just to lay
His hand upon your shoulder
In a friendly sort of way.
It makes a man feel queerish,
It makes the tear-drops start,

Ballard to leave
Denison for post
in Houston area
Resignation of senior high prin-
cipal Jack Ballard, effective Aug-
ust 1st, to accept a position as
principal of Spring Branch senior
high, a Houston suburb, was an-
nounced Wednesday by Superin-
tendent H. W. Goodgion.
Ballard will report to his new
post, located in one of the faSl
growing Houston areas on August
1st, the same date he will termi-
nate his service here.
Mr. and Mrs. Ballard left Wed-
nesday for a three weeks vaca-
tion prior to his reporting to his
new job. Mrs. Ballard is libra-
rian at Denison junior high.
Stulent enrollment in the Spring
Branch senior high school exceeds
2,000, and more than 100 faculty
and staff members are employed
there.
Ballard came to Denison as sen-
ior high principal from Bine TreJ
senior high school in Greggton in
1956.
"We certainly hate to lose such
a capable school administration
man as Mr. Ballard. He has done
a very fine job as senior higlfr
principal for Denison schools, and
has been a credit not only to our
schools but to the community as
well," Goodgion said in expressing
regret at Ballard's leaving.
Ballard is a past zone chairman
of Lions International, has been
active in the Denison Lions club,
is a member of the board of stew-
ards at W a pies Memorial Method-
ist church, belongs to the Cham-
ber of Commerce, and is active in
civic, fraternal, church, and com-
munity life here.
A successor to Jack Ballard as
senior high principal has not been
named, and Goodgion indicated it
will not be considered by the
school board until after he returns
from a state textbook committee
meeting he is attending this week
in Austin.
New service by
State National
Bank is unique
A new service by banks which
is more or less of a new thing to
may sections of the country, is
being introduced by the State Na-
tional Bank of Denison.
Bassers-by in front of the bank
soon had their inquisitiveness sat-
isfied after a spell of wondering
just what was going on. It was
discovered that a new kind of
clock was being installed by a lo-
cal sign man.
The huge sign, which can be
read for near a block away, was
placed at the front northeast cor-
ner door of the bank and is easily
seen from several angles.
Complete information as to the
time of day and the temperature
on the hour may be discovered by
the hands on the dial.
The big clock is a four-byfour
foot affair and is lighted by a
panel. The entire clock, is elec-
trically activated.
Finds lumber gone
out burning trash
When Tommy Mayfield of 423
West Gandy went to the alley in
back of his home Friday morning
to burn some rubbish, he discov-
ered the door lock on his garage
had been broken, the catch pried
off, and lumber stored in the
building was missing.
According to Mayfield in re-
porting the missing lumber to an
investigating officer, most of it
was good dimension material, al-
though it was used stock.
Denison police are looking for
framing lumber to fit the descrip-
tion given officers.
Lion delegates off
to national convention
Representatives of the Denison
Lions club are off to Chicago as
members of the largest delegation
ever sent from here to a Lions
International conventioin.
The group includes Rev. E.
Judd, a Lions international coun-
selor, Hal Watkins, new president
of the local club, Ed Austin, club
secretary, Curley O'Donnell, and
Ted Riffel, all accompanied by
their wives.
The meeting opened Wednesday
and will close Saturday of this
weak.

rian church following his resigna-
tion of Rev. James I. Logan, Jr.,

Objects to Little
League operation,
wants city action
General objections to current
operations of Little League basel
ball in Denison Lions club park on
Woodard street, and a demand for
city action to correct some of
them was laid in the lap of the
Denison city council at its Wed-
esday afternoon meeting by Mrs.
Bauline Tipton of 1609 West
Woodard.
Mrs. Tipton, who lives immedil
ately north of the 1600 block
West Woodard park site, not only
reviewed in detail her objections,
read at length from an apparent-
ly previously prepared list, but
brought along a large paper sack
of papers and other materials
which she told council members
she had picked up in her yard
earlier in the day.
She said the waste material in
the sack had blown into her yard
because of what she alleged to be
"inadequate facilities" in the park
to handle collection of papers,
trash and other debris. The sack
was left in the custody of mayor
Ralph I'orter to study the con-
tents at his convenience.
When questioned regarding a
part of her complaint about "pro-
fanity" around the park to which
lie raised objections, Mrs. Tipton
acknowledged much of it was dur-
ing the day when Little League
baseball is not in operation.
Sanitation problems in the
neighborhood resulting from re-
luctance on the part of some of
the public to use existing rest
room facilities at the park on ac-
count of being "not kept clean,"
were said by Mrs. Tipton to be
most objectionable.
Following the itemized charges
as alleged by Mrs. Tipton, general
objections to noise, lights, park-
ing and other matters were voiced
by her. She asked the city coun-
cil to "go out and look."
Mayor Ralph Borter assured
Mrs. Tipton the matter would be
"checked into thoroughly" to see
what could be done. He did not
indicate a full-scale investigation
of the sack contents by the city
council left with him by Mrs. Tip-
ton.
Woman visitor here
gets hit by auto
while crossing street
A visiting lady from out of the
city was struck down by an auto
here on Main street Sunday.
She was from Topeka, Kansas.
A party standing by learning
the lady's home was Topeka re-
marked: "She need not come all
this way to get knocked down by
a car in Denison. We read how
they get hit in Kansas every day."
It was a jibe remark, and noth-
ing was meant in the way of a
discourtesy, but the general idea
being spread for several days by
all forms of publicity is to guard
against accidents and be alive the
day after the Fourth.
The lady was Mrs. James Bray
and she and her husband were
crossing Main at Houston street
Sunday afternoon about 5 o'clock.
She was struck by a pickup driven
by Donnie F. Crabtree and was
knocked several feet. She was
removed immediately to the Ma-
donna hospital by an ambulance
from Bratcher's funeral home.
She received numerous bruises
and cuts.
Crabtree was driving on Main
street and turning left onto Hous-
ton when the accident occurred,
lie stated that Mrs. Bray walked
into the side of the pickup.
Crabtree was booked for inves-
tigation of defective brakes, de-
fective steering, and assault with
a motor vehicle. He was released
on $50 personal bond.
Mayor asked to put it in writing

chief Baul Borum.

Oral examinations of four ap-
plicants for police work who qual-
ified in a July 2nd written civil
service examination given by
Denison civil service director Ro-
bert Hauser were conducted last
night.
Following a physical evamina-
tion, applicants who successfully
pass both the oral and physical

Borum said.
Appointments from the eligibil-
ity listings will be made by city

recommendation of Chief Borum,
and in compliance with civil serv-
ice regulations.
Jones is the second Denison
police department captain to re-
sign in the last few weeks. He

Some property owners who
were present for the public hear-
ing hud to stand in the corridor
outside council chambers. City
fathers could not supply enough
chairs, and several had to remain
standing.
It was a lively session, rather
long, but everyone who had any-
thing to say or a.sk questions had
their chance.
Most questions were concerning
petition procedure and assess-
ments which would be levied
against adjacent property and
property owner, of streets to be
included in the various paving
projects for which the public
hearing was called.
Typical of many questions ask-
ed and information .sought by
property owners were those of
Mrs. H. C. Dennis of 901 West
Chestnut in connection with curb,
gutter and paving costs in the 900
block West Chestnut.
Wanted information
Mrs. Dennis wanted to know
what per cent of property owners
signed up for the paving in the
petition, what types of payment
plans were available to property
owners, and what was involved in
property assessment procedures
by the city.
City manager David Harner ex-
plained two-thirds of the property
owners must give their approval
r.nd at least 50r! of the property
must be included in the valid pe-
titions to permit assessment with
or without consent of all other
property owners in compliance
with city ordinances. Cash, 30-
day, and deferred payment plans
available to property owners were
explained by Harner to the group.
Many special problems of va-
rious kinds were discussed by the
groups and representatives present
with the city council and admin-
istrative officials.
J. D. Hiner was given permis-
sion by council action to employ
private contractors to install curb
and gutter in the 1700 block West
Barnell at his own expense, but
specified it must meet city speci-
fications, and that grades, etc.,
would have to be given and ap-
proved by John Smithen, public
works director, prior to start of
actual paving.

Missing from the Warden home

Reported to police by Mrs. War-

the burglary was thought by her
to have taken place around 11:00
