pie this coming
pect our son, Bi
Sir:
I believe you owe the Democrats of Denton County an apology.
In your editorial, you state that the radicals took over in the con.
ventions. When I read this editorial I was amazed. I sat down
and tried to recall who was at my convention. Such people as
Mr. and Mrs. Bill May, the Lynches. Charles Farris, six Bingham
boys, Joe Skiles. Herman Skiles and numerous other good loyal
Americans, hard-working and God-fearing solid citizens.
I was on the delegation committee and do not seem to recall
any radicals who are delegates to the state convention. I do not
believe you could call such leaders in the community as Cliff
Wilkins and Windle Knox of Krum, Mr. Degan and Mrs. Brooks of
Lewisville, local representative Jamison, Ray Chapman, Jack
Johnson, and others too numerous to mention, wildeyed radicals.
Mr. Editor, is it not a fact you were trying to solicit support
for your Republican friends by trying to degrade the character
of good Democrats of Denton County? I say, sir, you should make
a public apology to the good people of the county.

These an substantial, meaningful resolutions, which
will find plenty of support among the rank and file of
citizens. They all follow a basic principle of govern*
ment the kind of government which had worked' so
well in the United States prior to the advent of the
New Deal.
HST PROGRAM
Truman's program was a two-
in-one arrangement: one covered
employes of questionable loyalty;
the other handled security risks-
workers who might be completely
loyal but might jeopardize national
security because, for instance, they
held a sensitive job but drank or
talked too much.
The Truman security program
covered only some government .
agencies, those which in some way ,
were involved in national security.
Elsenhower lumped the program
into one big catch-all, covering all
agencies.
Under the Truman program an
employe whose agency head want-
ed t fire him could appeal to a .
special loyalty review board which
could reverse the agency head.
Eisenhower wiped out this board. ,
And Elsenhower gave each agency
head broad authority for setting
up hit own standards for judging
employes.

BURNSVILLE, N. C. I.Thet
Southern highlands are full of
wonderful old ladies with memo-
ries as green as a hemlock tree
and an outlook on life as durable
as an oak.
A fine example is Mrs. Julia
Wray. who is 86 years'old, weighs
185 pounds, and has 17 rocking
chairs on her front porch. .
Mrs. Wray. who wears her age
as lightly as a summer gown. is
the queen bee innkeeper of this
part of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
She operates the Nu-Wray Inn. one
of the best-known hostelries in
the hills, with the Help of her son.
Rush. and daughter-in-law, Jane.
The Inn, originally built in 1833.
was bought by her father in 1870.
In the years since then Julis grew
up. married, raised five children
and, in 1932, became a widow.
The inn grew, too, from 8 rooms
to 40.

What's Ridiculous?
Net too long ago we heard a woman laughing heart-
ily over gome photographs of African natives wearing
rings or bones in their noses. She was also gleeful
ever some pictures of women wearing metal rings
around their necks. She finally asked: “Did you ever
see anything so ridiculous in all your life?” It is well
to know when to speak and when to keep silent and so
we did not mention the fact that the lady at the time
was wearing, dipped to her ears, devices about the
size of a table tennis ball. These gadgets were made
of mother of pearl, or so we guessed from their glit-
ter, and were embellished with metal curlicues. The
question of what’s ridiculous, we suppose, depends al-
most entirely on where you are.

Some of the farmers have had
their oats windrowed and will put
them through a combine later. But
some of the bents say their oats are
not tall enough to windrow, as
they can't be picked up readily,
so they'll go the combine route.
One grain man said, "My oats
have been shattering pretty badly,
so I don't know how much of them
win stay in the head.”

noon. Mrs. Wray never-leaned on
anything in her life until recently
she had to start using a cane,
which she detests. She loves to re-
call changing times, changing cus- ,
toms, changing prices.
"I first remember when we
would put up a man for the night
and serve him supper and break-
fast - all for a dollar," she said,
and added smiling: "Some people
even kicked at that. They felt we
ought to give them a prize for
coming.”
Today folks often drive a hun-
dred miles for Mrs. Wray’s fa-
mous $2.50 Sunday dinner, served
family style. There is no menu-
but no lock of choice.
Guests often make' a game of
sampling everything on the table,
and this pleases Mrs. Wray.
"Young people don't look too
bad if they're a mite thin." she
said. "But older people don’t look
so well unless they have a little
flesh on them.”
Mrs. Wray has an idea this gen-
eration would feel belter if it
worked harder and worried less.
She herself. usually still gets into
the kitchen each morning before
the help arrives. She puts up hun-
dreds of jars of fresh fruits and

Man's New House
Does Measure Up
To Expectations
FORT OGLETHROPE. Ga. in-
Homer Parris built a house largely
from wooden yardsticks. He doesn't
know how many went into the out-
side—as weatherboarding but the
inside walls, ceilings and floors are
made up of 47,000 yardsticks.
He got the sticks—culls and sec-
onds rejected by the manufactur-
er—for use as kindling but then
decided to install an oil burner
and sought some use for the big
pile of sticks.
He first used some as weath-
erboarding on the back of the house
but his wife liked the looks so
well he decided to do all the weath-
erboarding with the sticks and then
turned to the interior
The wood strips came in vary-
ing types of wood and colors so
he did the bathroom in flamingo
and yellow: the walls and ceiling
of the kitchen in unpainted sticks
with kitchen cupboards in yellow
and wine red:' the bedroom with
walls and' ceiling and the living
room maple throughout.
The floors of the house are three
yardsticks thick, the walls two.
Parris says the sticks are good in-
sulation and they are standing up
under the impact of the four young
children.

one-half. . .We have four boys to
one girl. . .Only one-third of the
parents of our wards are living to-
gether. . In the vast majority of
cases, girls are led into delinquen-
cy by grown men who suffer no
consequences . .Very few children
come from normal homes. . .We've
had scarcely a dozen boys from

years, and only a light scatter

- FIVE YEARS AGO
——- Civil service examinations for
city patrolman and fire depart-
ment driver will be held by the
City of Denton Monday, May 38.
at 5 p.m. in the council room of
the city hall. City Secretary
Charles Orr said Thursday.
Denton County today received a
sample of the heavy thundershow-
ers that have inundated vast sec-
tions of West Texas and the Pan-
handle for the last three days:
Ing American production totals
within 10 to 15 years. And their
rate of increase since the war has
been faster than our own—large
as that has been.
One of Russia's handicaps has
been a labor shortage. With a huge
standing army and a government
policy of keeping aa many youths
as possible in scientific and en-
gineering schools, the industrial
labor force has been curtailed.
There should be plenty of room
in the factories for the 1% million
men that Russia now says win be
demobilized.
In making their bid for world
trade the Russians have had some
advantages, notably in the under-
developed areas. The' Reds have
been able to offer markets for the
raw materials end food that these
areas produce. Here, the desire
begl
of

been strong. One example: Cuba

The Houston Chronicle, the powerful South Texas
newspaper with independent-Democratic policies,
praises Harris County Republicans for taking a forth-
right stand on current issues during their county
convention. ' ■
The Chronicle said if the other Republican conven*
. tions around the country would take as forthright a
atand on current issues as did the Harris County Re-
publicans Tuesday night, the American people would
have a clear-cut choice in November as far as plat*
forms are concerned.
The Republican county convention here endorsed
- the Bricker amendment or "a substantial equivalent.”
Thia proposed measure Would prevent foreign treaties
from nullifying parts of the American Constitution,
which can be done now. President Eisenhower has
consistently opposed the Bricker bill, but if enough
Republican conventions endorsed it, the President
might be persuaded to change his mind.
Harris County Republicans proved themselves strong
supporters of constitutional government in the other
resolutions they adopted. They called for the preserva-
tion of states' rights. They advocated passage of a
natural gas bill eliminating federal control. They urged
adoption of the Hoover commission report, which
would save billions of dollars a year by eliminating
waste and unnecessary expenditures.
The Republicans went on record against extension
of foreign aid "without long-range planning” and
against the United States channeling its foreign aid
TEN YEARS AGO
More than 500 delegates from 81

City commissioners Friday

recently-completed municipal air-
port, establishment of a city-coun-
ty health office. the city dump,
and a retirement fund for city em-
ployes, but postponed action of all

mation.
WASHINGTON Im — President
Eisenhower started his security
program * three years ago this
month. How has it worked? Dem-
ocrats call it e "numbers racket.”
Republicans seem pleased with it.
But they have begun to tone
down portions of the program un-
der repeated attacks as too often
unfair to individuals.
The public will have to wait un-
til next year for anything like an
impartial judgment. A special 12-
member commission created by
Congress last year to examine the
program said this week it can't
finish before 1987.
This will hardly keep the poli-
ticians from kicking it around a
bit in this year’s campaign. But
the Republicans won't be able to
beat the Democrats over the head
with the issue as easily as in the
past.
IMS REPUBLICAN
It turns out the Republicans
themselves elected in 1952 with
their chargee of "Communists in
government” and their attacks on
President Truman's loyalty-secur-
ity program.
When they won, they -substituted
their own program for Truman's
but they oversold themselves on
how good it was. When they put
it in operation May 27, 1953, Atty.
Gen. Brownell predicted all secur-
ity risks would be out of the gov-
ernment by the following Septem-
ber.
But they kept on finding secur-
ity risks, or so they said, and pro-
duced figures which they threw at
the Democrats in the 1964 congres-
sional elections in attempts to show
that they had inherited a "mess."
The way the Republicans, par-
ticularly Vico President Nixon,
used these figures angered the
Democrats. Nixon, always a man
for a colorful phrase, said:
"We are kicking the Communists
and fellow travelers and security
risks out of the government . . .
by the thousands."

George Harte of the Harte Fly-
ing School and Ralph Higgins join-
ed the group, who left Denton

da. There were three planes that

the trip. They expect to make their
landing some 73 miles from the
fishing place.
