BILL BLAKLEY
William Blakely was at the
Southern Hotel for an hour or
so last Monday. He is somewhat
older in appearance than one
expected.
He is not known to a lot of
people, even though he was for
a short time a U. S. Senator
He is 59, and has spent most
of his life studying to improve
his mind and attending to his
own business. In both these
areas he has been tremendously
successful.
By his every word and ges-
ture, Bill Blakely instills confi-
dence; and while this “Newsy-
gram” takes little interest in
politics — we are more interest-
ed in people as such — we pre-
dict that this tall serious Texan
will become better known fast.
He does not act or talk like a
politician; but that fact may
prove to be good politics in hec-
tic 1958.

IT IS COSTING YOU
Dr. George S. Benson ahaly-
fces the UAW demands in a few
words, as follows:
“The auto workers have vir-
tually monopolized the benefits
of the whole advancement
brought on mainly by manage-
ment ingenuity, better and more
expensive machine tools, new
production techniques and more
effective merchandizing opera-
tions.
Now the auto union leaders
want to stimulate auto buying
by lowering the cost of the
automobiles — but they want to
lower it wholly at the expense
of the stockholders who must
be enticed year after year to
put up the money for the whole
operation. If their plan were to
be adopted, then three months
hence, they clearly state, they
would put in their demand for
wage hikes which would, if
granted, almost certainly boost
the cost of autos again.”
And bring on more inflation
and higher living costs. The
truth is that the powerful unions
have the rest of us over a
barrel.
BRASS TACKS
In our father’s country store,
a sort of combination drugstore
and general store, the clerk
drove smooth-headed brass
tacks in the counter a yard
apart. This made a convenient
yardstick for measuring cloth.
Another fast way was to meas-
ure the cloth by extending the
left arm full length. The dis-
tance from the end of the fin-
gers to the tip of the nose when
his head was turned to the right
was exactly a yard.
Sometimes a careful customer
doubted the latter method and
asked the clerk to “get down to
brass tacks.”

BUSINESSMAN POET
When Walter Morrison takes
his seat in church he is im-
mediately tempted to begin
writing poetry. This editor,
whom people often mistake for
the Morrison Mill man, sat with
him in the Knight Templar
group in the Ascension Service
at First Presbyterian Church,
US, last Sunday, this is what he
wrote:
I sat by Rome again today
’Twas so much like the folks
do say
Rome is such an interesting
fellow to meet
To what the preacher had to
say
I listened intently and came
to pray
That Rome would often share
my seat.
FIRST CHRISTIAN SECT
“Mrs. A. E. (Betty) Peterson
joined the church staff, as sec-
retary, May 1. Betty is a mem-
ber of the church and under-
stands the church functions. She
replaces Joan Way who is now
in Kentucky awaiting the ar-
rival of the stork.”
The official board unanimous-
ly re-elected the present officers
to serve for the next fiscal year.
They are as follows:
Chairman — Mr. Joe Burks,
Vice-Chairman — Mr. Ernest
McCray, Treasurer — Judge W.
K. Baldridge.

Dear Mr. Harrison:
It was thoughtful of you to
send me the clipping from “Do-
ings in Denton”. I appreciated
it.
Thanking you, and with kind
regards, I am
Sincerely yours,

PARKING TOO TIGHT
Parking space is so tight in
Denison that the goldfish have
to go. It says here:
“Denison’s first goldfish pond,
centerpiece of the Katy Plaza,
is giving way to progress.
With the shift of 30 more
Katy office employees to Deni-
son from Dallas, the plaza, a
half-block area in front of the
railroad station will be surfaced
for direly needed parking space.
There is rarely a time on Den-
ton’s square when a goldfish
could squeeze in and park.”

the sauce begins to boil, stir in
a tablespoon of water.”
