Imp-ovement
Of Rural Mail
Boxes Urged
Patrons of rural mail delivery
service are being advised by John
H. Parish, acting postmaster, to
provide suitable mail receptacles
and to erect them in such man-
ner that they will be accessible to
the carrier and present a neat ap-
pearance. This campaign is es-
pecially urged, Mr. Parish said,
during the week beginning May 5
to be known as Rural Mail Box
Improvement week.
Unsightly rural mail boxes, Mr.
Parish said, detract from the na-
tural scenic beauty along high-
ways and are not a credit to the
owners of attractive homes served
through the boxes. Rural mail
boxes which are not properly
erected or which are not in good,
serviceable condition retard the
delivery of mail and expose it to
damage from the elements, Mr.
Parish believes.
It is especially desirable, the
acting postmaster continued, that
the boxes be maintained in such
condition that they will properly
protect mail placed therein, that
the names of the box owners be
inscribed on the side of them, and
that the boxes and their supports
be kept painted.
Patrons who have non-approved
lite axis nations bordering them,
is being drawn by German and
Italian leaders in consultation with
representatives from Bulgaria,
Hungary and the new FVee Croat
s;.i:e of North Yugoslavia.
Mapmaker No. 1 is Adolf Hit-
ler, who is understood to have
sketched the broad lines of the
new Balkans in a conference some-
where in the southeast with King
Boris of Bulgaria, whose visit to
the Reichsfuehrer was revealed by
the Germans Monday.

Hitler Asks Franco To Join Axis;
Would Allow Crack At Gibraltar
VICHY, France, April 22—
Adolf Hitler was reported today
to have sent an emissary to Spain
with an urgent request that Gen-
eralissimo Francisco Franco join
the Axis alliance and allow from
60,000 to 90,000 German troops
to move across Spain for an at-
tack upon Gibraltar.
The message was said unoffic-
ially here to have been delivered
to Franco by Rudolf Hess, depu-
ty leader of the Nazi party, who
flew to Madrid a few days ago
and remained twelve hours.
The attack on Gibraltar, accord-
ing to the reports here, would be
unleashed simultaneously with a
I German-Italian drive across Eg-
I ypt toward Alexandria and the
Sue* canal in a huge effort to
! wrest control of both ends of the
Mediterranean from Britain.

Plans Shaping,
Judge Loy Says
3HKRMAN, Texas, April 22—
Plans for widening U.S. highway
75 to four lanes between Sher-
man and Denison are shaping up
rapidly, according to County
Judge Jake Loy- The office of
James E. Pirie of Paris, division
highway engineer, is preparing al-
ternate plans for the construction,
one set' contemplating widening
the present strip to four lanes
within the Sherman city limits and
the other carrying the single strip
out into the country for some dis-
tance before the parkway w intro-
duced.
The project has been given pri-
ority rating as one of the national
defense highways in Texas, and
will be among projects to receive
funds from the federal allotment
of approximately $7,000,000 for
construction of defense roads in

Italy also is expected to get a
part of the Dalmatian coast, in-

Slovenia which is not annexed by
Germany itself becomes a protect
crate similar to Slovakia and Bo-

1897.
Upon his return to Denison,
Pender taught with Prof. G. L.
Harshaw in his academy from
1897-1901 and was elected teach-
ei in the public grade schools a
short time later. He was trans-
ferred to the high school six weeks
later, teaching under Superinten-
dent J. E. Blair. His only asso-
ciates in the high school then were
D. ,S. Furman and the late F- B.
Hughes.
In 1903, Pender was elected
to the high school at Paris, serv-
ing one year and then made a
ward school principal. He held
this position until 1913 when he
was electel to the faculty of the
then Denton Normal which gave
one year of college work, but was
not recognized by universities.

Reclamation Of
Love County Lands
Denison parties are interested in
efforts of the Chamber of Com-
merce and others in Loye county,
Okahoma, in a redemption move
whereby something like 15,000 ac-
res of land shall be reclaimed in-
cident to a project that calls for
•■hanging the drainage of land
that otherwise would be lost to
that county.
A message from Senator Josh
Lee to Lute Loy, manager of Ho-
tel Denison, is to the effect that
he will do all he can to assist in
the project. It is also learned
that Congressman Sam Rayburn
will give what aid he can to secure
the funds and other needs to car-
ry the work through. Also Con-
gressman Wil'burn Cartwright is
active to secure aid.
The land to be redeemed lies in
what is known as Walnut Creek

choice land when redeemed. I"

u estimated that land to he in-
undated totals 23,000 acres, while
the reclaimed land totals 15,000,
thus leaving a net loss in land of
cnly about 8,000 acres.
Also, it is figured, the money
spent in redemption will more
than offset the cost of land lost
to the county.

Tripoli Today In i
Surprise Movement
BERN, Switzerland, April 22—
German forces have occupied im-
portant cities on the right and
left flanks of the allied army in
Greece, the Nazi high command
claimed today, predicting that
Athens will be occupied immedi-
ately, while another report said
that Greece has surrendered.
A Rome newspaper declared
that, akhough unconfirmed, a re-
port from Lisbon, Portugal said
that Greece has sued the axis for
peace. (The German high eom-
Imand <;arly today predicted the
Greek surrender within 48 hours.)
British sources admitted that
British and Greek forces in
Greece were moving back slowly
under Nazi pressure, but denied
that their flight was disorderly. It
was believed the allies were mov-
ing bark in an effort to form a
more compact defense line.
Ionnina, important Greek city
near the Albanian frontier, has
been occupied by the axis, Berlin
claimed, and reports said that Ital-
ian troops are pouring into Greece
from Alabania.
Athens and London said that
the "war is not lost yet," and
claimed their lines were moving
back fflowiy, inflicting heavy cas-
ualties on the Nazis.
German bombers have almost
leveled Athens, it was reported,
although :he center of the city has
been spared. Greek refugees are
streaming from the city and clog-
ging highways, but the Greeks did
not admit that the city is being
evacuated on orders.

uate I tnnbul immediately, believ-
ing a German at'ark on the nation

heavy, steamed close to Tripoli,

age.

Dogwood Trees
Are Destroyed
George Knaur reports that some
party or parties maliciously de-
stroyed several of his fine dog-
wood trees, among them the choice
of the lot of several score which
•>re on his farm east of the city.
Mr Knaur takes pride in the
beauty of the trees at this season
of the year and the fact that they
have ht en slaughtered means that
it will take veaTs for the trees to
be replaced.
Among the ones cut, he states,
was the most beautiful one of all.
The parties ruining the trees were
either scared off before they got
flowers from the trees, or they
maliciously went out to destroy
them, as the trees were cut down
and no branches were broken off.
When found by Mr. Knaur laite
Sunday afternoon the trees show-
ed that they had just been cut
down as the flowers were not
wilted. He st ■•' « he would not
mind letting rarties have some of
the blossoms if they would ask for
them, hut deeply regrets losing
some of his best trees.
