THE WALKING WOUNDED AND
I WONT ^ORK KIND
Seen this week in two pictures in this
country are the walking wounded—those
back from Tunisian battlefronts where
thousands fell and are buried in a
strange land. Others of their numbers
are the wounded who had to be carried.
The walking wounded bear an arm in a
sling, a crutch under the arm, a (head
wound covered with bandage or other
marks on the body which testify as to
their loyalty and devotion to their coun-
try in an hour when the Nation has a
right to expect every man to do his duty.
These boys, at the risk of their lives,
left homes, jobs, loved ones and willingly
s-aid of such "they are to be sacrificed
and forgotten for the time being—my
duty is to give what I can *o win this
P war."
And they did that very thing. Their
wounds and marks on the body testify as
their full measure of devotion. They are
the ones who, again bring back to us at
home the sacred document called the
Bill of Rights and the Declaration of In-
dependence. They count not their lives as
dear unto themselves that they might fin-
ish a job that must be done so that again
our vine and figtree may not be despoiled
and our women ravished and our property
confiscated to p?.y tribute to an invade'*
who has no compunction of conscience nor
limit to hia beastiality. •
But the other line of men—the I Won't
Work kind. They are the ones who for
a mess of pottage or a fancied need for
a little more pay in their envelope will
walk out in the midst of the fight and let
our boys—your ?on and mine, your brother
and father and mine—do without the
sinews of war. They would play hands
with the arch enemy of everything held
dear and sacred and seemingly care not a
damn. That they are despicable to the
nth degree, traitors of the ultra type, co-
conspirators who would scuttle the very
ships that bear our sons out to sea, plun-
derer* of their ration supplies, and blow-
ers up of our ammuntion dumps, there
can be no denial. It is equally dastardly
to do those out-and-out acts of the sabo-
teur or to withhold from the boys at the
front those needful things to carry on the
fifirht. g 4 ' ;.(■>) :i%\ ' ,
The government may take action of a
heroic kind—and they should—for a man
ought to be placed in the front line of
battle if he will not do his part in the
ranks of workmen. But though the gov-
ernment does take action, these men are a
blot on labor, a smut place on the face
of our fair land They are the kind who
are at heart basically wrong and they
should not be temporized with in tho
least, now or after the war. The boys
should never forget . them nor should
those of us back at home raise the man-
tel of charity and cover their treacherous
hearts It shows the kind of cancer that
has been growing among us these years
in the name of organized labor. It should
be eradicated now root and branch, els-.*
a worse fate comes to us in the .years
ahead. flThev have shown their fangs and
we should pull their teeth to the last
one now or the next time they will have a
bite that is worse than the adder.

City-wide representation on all move
ments having for their objective that of
serving the community and raising fund*
from all parties and groups is necessary
if there is to be whole-hearted support
and cooperation. Inter-locking control
of all civic and club organizations in a
town is sure to not mean the maximum
£urces.s of such. Slates planned by the
same group all the time get rather obnox-
ious to those who are asked to kick in on
the support. That's why the Denison
Chamber of Commerce threw ovei board
the old way of doing things which saw
he same set in each year in and out. All
organizations would do well to profit by
tiich a step, especially when they are
asking for the financial backing of all
the people. All sections of Denison should
>e represented on all public boards named
to direct its civic and business activi-
ies.
Noise Nuisance
Again Comes Up
City Dads Meet
Again the noise nuisance comes
up before the Denison city heads,
and again it is from railroad
men protesting against the noise
made by railroad engine whistles.
One of the members of the
commission is a railroad man,
Carl Flanery, and he sided with
the complaining, note writer,
E. S. Scott, 603 Texas, saying
that signals originated by the
road called for as many as 11
blasts long or short, at one given
interHocker, (besides the blasts at
crossings, whidh blasts are re-
quired by law.
It was stated the railroad men
in, many cases want to eliminate
the blasts at the crossings, but
the law calls for it and if the
city will change that law , the
railroad men wi® be clear of any
violations or rulings that might
come up against them in case of
an accident.
Another angle to the screaming
blasts of the incessant blowing
was the fact that it aroused scores
of howling doga all over the city
who responded to certain tonal
qualities of whfttles and howled
mournfully for long periods caus-
ing sleepless hours and ear-split-
ting discomforts to neighbors
where such dogs made their
habitat.
The perennial blower of auto
horns also came up for his part
. of severe criticism and the city
police force was informed to take
careful check on all .such and
make, arrests as prescribed by the
city law. Also it was mentioned
that a group of citizens had been
formed here who would quietly
make note of the unnecessary
blasts of horns such as being
practiced and the number of the
car would be turned into police
for handling.
In some cases, it was stated,
racers of cars make down the
streets blowing long blasts for
either a clear-the-way I-am-com-
ing noise-maiking devices.
. WHAT
OTHER EDS
ARE THINKING
A PECULIAR PEOPILE
(^aris News)
There can be no doubt that the
Japanese are a peculiar people.
Not in the sense that the designa-
tion is used in the Holy Bible, for
thej relationship of the Israelites
to God, but in the modern sense
o{ being different from every-
thing else when it would be rea-
sonably supposed that there
would be' at least a similarity.
The Japanese peculiarity is
well illustrated by their refusal
to surrender, forcing the soldiers
fighting them to kill them, or
committing suicide in order to
prevent capture. Their actions in
this respect are based on their
belief that Kheir Emperor is a
veritable Son of Heaven, that
death in his service is honorable
and insures bliss eternal for the
Plans Advance
To Place Sewer
In S.W. Denison
At the meeting of the city
commission Friday orders were
given the City Engineer A. L.
Cornell to proceed to collect the
earnest fee of $25 each from all
parties planning to make sewer
connections to the proposed ex-
tension of service in Southwest
Denison. It was explained that
the money will be refunded in
either case whether the city is
successful in making the exten-
sion or not.
But it was stated that the city
was not going to the expense of

nations, though the Nazis have
come pretty close to some of the
latter sort at outrages.
We may as well here and now
determine that we are not fight-
ing civilized human beings when
we fight the Japanese. We can-
not afford to try to treat them
as we do other peoples with

City Talks Of
Having A Shop
And a Mechanic
If a man who is known to be
a good all-around mechanic and
repair man can be secured, the
city may equip a shop and em-
ploy a full time man to do all
repairing and caring for the
machinery, street equipment and
police cars and other auto equip-
ment. That was the decision
practically reached Friday at the
meeting of the city comissioners.
It was explained Dhat the cost
of maintenance and repairs, was
mounting and it is believed that
shop can be set up and a man
paid a regular salary at a cost
less than that now being paid for
the work.
The cost of presence mainte-
nance will be compiled for infor-
mation of the council, while
efforts will be made to see if a
suitable and capable man to take
supervision of the shop can be
found.

the pipe and the city believes
tjiese will aUI be out of the way
and the work can start before

palace in Tokyo as they charged'
to certain death.
In addition to their belief in
tfliis connection, is their habit of
shooting medical detachment
members who go out to pick up
the wounded after a battle or
skirmish, and of pot shooting men
swimming in the ocean after
their ship was blasted. These
agreements with other nations
and to live up to those agree-
ments is sheer waste of time and
leads to loss of life on the part
of those who trust them. We
shall not be able to exterminate
the entire Japanese nation but
we can and should render them
harmless in th« future.

Zoning Law Not
Applicable In
This Case, Thot
What was argued at first at1
the meeting a 1 the city commis-
sioniers as a case where the zon-
ing law would inhibit later
turned out to be a clear case in<
favor of the party, Mrs. B. J.
Lindsay, praying for the permis-
sion of the commission to per
mit locating of a building re-
moved front Preston Bend com-
munity to a lot on the 700 block
Elm street.
Appearing for Mrs. Lindsay
was Ross Stdddard, local attor-
ney, whose version of the mat
ter as presented to the comrais
sion at first was that the builldftlg
was to be used as a school for
the negro citizens. All property
owners abutting the property had
signed the petition save one who
owned the entire block length
just acioss the street on the op
posite side from the proposed]
location of the building. |
It was declared by the cltyl
officials that the building had al-
ready been moved but that no
permit had been issued.. It was
declared that Mrs. Lindsay had
acted' in good faith and in the
thought she was within her
rights and that she had spent
about $900 fixing the building up
for parties intended for iteusej
its use.
The city was given the impres-l
[sion that it was a clear violation
[of the zoning law for a school
to be placed at the location, and
Mr. Stoddard retired, saying he
would look further into the mat-
ter. Before the commission ad-
journed, Mr. Stoddard got in
touch with the City Secretary
Harold Schmitzer over the phone
and stated he liatl presented the
wrong information to the com-
| mission, that the building was be-
ing erected solely for the
ICatholic church for religious pur-
poses and for a home for one of
its priests, the religious work to
be done among the negroes of
the city.
On receipt of such information,
Mayor W. L. Ashburn stated
that from ihis own personal
knowledge of a case on such mat-
ters no zoning law could prevent
a church from building at any|
point it might choose in al
Whereupon the matter
dropped.
It seems that the zoning
drawn for Denison some |
years back placed inhibitions onl
churches at certain location, but
in the light of the rulings of
courts that angle can not stand
in a legal trial, and Denison's
regulations stand in nee^of^
amending.
