Thanks To Operators, Police Force
Dear Sir:
I want to thank your Denton telephone operators and the .
police department for their help in a recent emergency of mine.
My sister, Mrs. B. B. Munsey of Dallas had written me that
her husband had been "taken to the hospital" seriously ill. When
the operator could not reach my sister at her home she checked a
couple of Dallas hospitals at her own suggestion.
Then the police department stepped in They contacted Dallas
police who checked all other Dallas hospitals
Early this morning Mr. Harbert of your police force, called to
let me know that the Dallas News had a notice that my brother-
in law was buried in Corsicana yesterday.
To the Denton (and Dallas) police, especially to Mr. Harbert,
my sincere thanks
To the telephone operators, especially No. 12, my thanks and
appreciatior.
Who would want to live anywhere else, when even your Den
ton telephone operators and police department go beyond the call
of duty to help an insignificant citizen:

One Roanoke chamber officer pointed out that the
town had been on dead center for nearly 40 years.
He said a picture of the town four decades ago com-

"It’s time we quit wearing holes in the seats of our

The chamber of commerce has gone to work quietly
and in a businesslike manner. Its directors are slow
in making their steps; they want to build a firm foun-
dation. It may take them time to get up a full head
of steam, but we’ll be willing to wager they make a
success of what they are planning to do.
Roanoke is the last of Denton County's major com-
munities to organize a chamber of commerce. Cities
that already have the organizations are Denton, Lewis-
ville. Pilot Point, Sanger, and Justin.
Maybe you don’t hear much about the chambers of I
commerce but they are often a stabilizing factor be-
hind the economic scene of a city. And the supporting
of such an organization shows that a community is
trying to improve its business and civic life.
More power to Roanoke and all the chambers of
commerce in the greater Denton area. Now that we
have six chambers of commerce in Denton County, we •
