Banks and newspapers, in a sense, are very much
alike. Both—at least in the United States—are busi-
nesses in which individuals seek to serve the public _
as well as to make a profit on their investments.
And both banks and newspapers, because they
are of such extreme service to the public, are often
looked on as being instruments of some kind of
government. Thus, many think they know more
about running either a bank or a newspaper than
does the banker and the newspaperman.
Since we can speak with some authority on one
' of the businesses, we always welcome comments
and suggestions from the public we serve. We’re
sure banks do too. That’s not to say every suggestion
will be followed, but when the suggestions end,
something is wrong.
All of this comes to mind as the presidents of
* both Denton banks announce their retirement plans.
R W. Bass of First State Bank already has begun
his well deserved retirement after 44 years in every
job at the bank. And R. M. Barns, for almost 56
years with the Denton County National Bank, has
appointed a five-man committee from the board to
name a successor to him; he is staying on as presi-
dent until that choice is made.
* Both men have contributed an immeasurable
amount of their time not only to the betterment
of both banks but also to the betterment of the
entire Denton area. Bankers—and especially bank
presidents — are called on time and again to take
civic responsibilities few others can or will assume.
And both presidents in the last several months
have helped guide programs of extreme benefit
to both banks as well as to the community—the
beginning of construction of new buildings, both
now well underway. These two construction projects,
as much as any in recent years, have set the pace
for a growing Denton area.
The successors to Bass and Barns will have a solid
foundation on which to build the two banks into
even greater service to match an even greater Den-
ton in the years to come.
Leadership
The problems of 185 years ago must have seemed
almost insurmountable even though a new nation
was declaring its freedom for all the world to see.
Perhaps some of the signers on that July 4th
thought the biggest problem of all had been solved;
but others must have known that Britain would not
give up a new lush land easily.
So a new nation fought its first war. There were
more wars to come, of course, but the Revolutionary
War was the only non-civil war ever fought on the
United States mainland.
Today, on July 4th, 1961, the hopes don’t seem
too bright that we can keep war from these shores.
As pessimistic as it sounds, almost anyone on
a Denton street will tell you he believes war is im-
minent sometime. “When” is the big question in a
nation that wants no war.
Perhaps on some future July Fourth mankind will
have learned to solve its problems without fighting,
either in a “cold” or a “hot” way.
We look fr vard to that day. And if any country
in the wori great enough to provide that leader-
ship. it is i United States. But we have yet to
really prove we are capable. Perhaps that ought to
. to be our goal on this holiday.

generations the Western nations,
not because of their numbers but
because of their military power,
kept many millions of people in
colonial subjection and exploited
them

in which the Belgians kept the
