Dr. James Bethea, executive
director, said visitors to the hos-
pitals during Mental Health Week
United States Congressman Frank Ikard, in Denton
for the Centennial kickoff, advised the Record-Chron-
icle that he has not backed down one inch from his
original proposal that would return Denton County
lakeshore reservoir land tq the original owners.
In fact, Ikard’s bill to return the land now held by
the federal government on the rim of Garza--itte him
and Grapevine reservoirs is expected to come before a
House public works subcommittee just as soon as Con-
gress reconvenes after the Easter recess.
Ikard said he feels strongly the excess land—about
6,300 acres—ought to be returned to original owners
and placed on the Denton County tax rolls.
The City of Dallas opposes return of the excess land
because of plans to have the water level raised. It
might be pointed out that Dallas didn’t buy the land.
The federal government did.- So why should Dallas
have the land for part of its water storage?
The federal government has decided that the 6,300
acres in question are in excess. Now should this ex-
cess go to Dallas or to the people from whom it was
taken? Many of these former landowners received
only a token fee for their land, anyway.
We believe that Congressman Ikard hit the nail on
the head, however, when he said he believed it would
be at least a generation before Dallas would try to get
the lake level raised in exchange for flood storage in
new dams upstream.
If Dallas actually was starving for the water and
needed the additional reservoir land immediately it
would be logical not to return the land to the original
owners. For the government merely would have to
buy back the land—at a much higher price. But as
long as Dallas won’t build its projected reservoirs for
20 or even 30 years, Denton County should have that
6,300 acres back on its tax rolls. ,

Chronicle is backing you 100 per cent!

The idea of a week of vacation

Khalidi himself, in a statement
broadcast by the Jordan radio,
rejected charges of Western inter-
ference in his country's internal
affairs and said such charges
"caused confusion and have been
liked in a way contradictory to
the best interests and security of
this faithful country.”
The Premier urged the Jordan
people to ignore rumors and called
on other Arab countries to use
caution in their comments "until
things have taken their normal

and Egypt, whose propaganda

Mt?
The chances are long that any rough estimate you
make will be far below the true figure. They’re alio
long that, If firB strikes and destroys those goods,
your insurance will be dismayingly inadequate when
it comes to replacing them. In that case, you’ll have
to dig deep into your own pocket to make up the dif-
ference—or go without.
Harlan Smith tells the story, in a recent issue of
Household magazine He obtained estimates from in-
surance experts. He found that if your income is
>3,000 to $5,000, your furnishings and clothing are
worth $2,500 to >4,000 if you live in an apartment
and 13,000 to >6,000 if you live in a house. If you’re
in the $5,000-$7,500 income bracket, you have >3,500
to >4,750 worthjof these items if you live in an apart-
ment and >4.250 to $6,750 worth if you live in a house.
So it goes—up and up.
‘ Why do most people have much more money tied
up in household possessions than they realize? One
reason is that the items are usually bought over a long
period of time, and we forget the investment. Anoth-
er—and very big—reason is that economic devil, in-
flation.

■ At New High
, BOSTON Um_ Big fires shattered
all previous records in number.
. in North America last year and
registered a new high in dollar
i losses, the National Fire Protec-
. tion Assn reported this week
The association said 430 “large- .
' loss" fires — each causing desruc-
tion a quarter of a million dol-
, lars or more — occurred in the
United States and Canada in 1956
—for a total direct loss of $330,-
156,000
The 1958 totals were "excessive-
ly" larger than those of previous
“worst” years, the association re-
ports in its quarterly magazine
for April, published this week.
Of 401 persons killed in large-
loss tires, 333 lost their lives in
, big aircraft fires-accidents, the
report said.
The total of 430 big fires ex-
' ceeds by more than a third the
1955 high of 316 large-loss fires,
and the direct dollar loss of last
year’s big fires is greater by 50
million dollars than the previous
record loss of $274,374,500, set in
1953.
The 401 deaths compare with
396 in 1955 big fires.
Persons injured in other-than-
aircraft fires totaled 1,026.
In number, the large-loss fires
are only .03 per cent of all fires,
but they account for nearly a
quarter of the estimated total fire
loss of 1956 — expected to total
$1,385,000,000.
The industrial fire toll was the
largest in history, the study
showed, with 117 large-loss fires
compared with 78 the previous
1 year. These constituted the larg-
est factor in the huge over-all in-
i crease.
