to spread the five-man committee
over the other wards in the city.
A request was granted the Jun-
ior Chamber of Commerce to paint
a circle on any street within the
city where an accident occurs, as
a means of reminding reckless
drivers to exert more care in driv-
ing, and perhaps save a life.
After a discussion on charity
patients in the city hospitals whose
bills are paid by the city, it was
decided on motion of the .mayor
that a committee of three be ap-
pointed to work with Dr. John
Glockler, city health officer, in
ascertaining the real needs of all
patients being admitted to any li-
censed hospital within the city lim-
its as charity patients. *
This committee of three |Will be
drawn from the membership of]
the Civic Welfare Council, recent-
ly organized in Denison.
On a motion by the mayor, a
request was granted Ltetlfc, L#0
Melton, commanding officer of the
'56th Signal company, Texas Na-
tional Guard, for the release from
duties of several city employees,
who ore members of the Kuard in
order that they might attend the
annual summer encampment which
will be held early in June.
DALLAS NEWSPAPER MEN ON
SPECIAL VISIT TO PERRIN
Two Dallas newspapermen, Daw-
son Duncan, of the Dallas News,
and Frank Chappel, of the Daily
Times Herald, were guests of the
commanding officer at Perrin Air
Force Base Monday.
The object of their visit was to
examine, at close range, the rapid-
ly expanding reserve training pro-
gram at the base, a portion of
kvhich includes "On the Job Train-
ing" of many former air force of-
ficers living in the Grayson county
area.
The visitors specifically were
interested in the "M-day" mobili-
zation assignments and in the var-
ious phases of Perrin's cadet train-
ing program.

"My Servel Gas Refrigerator
operation cost as low today
as it was 16 years ago"
says Mr. Nolan Hayden, Belton, Texas
Proof:
Serve) Gas Kefri gerator
Stays
Silent,
Lasts
Longer
"I used my Servel Gas Refrigerator in my
Cafe for several years. It withstood the
rigors that only a Cafe can give a refrig-
erator, with flying colors," says Mr. Nolan
Hayden. "Later I moved it to my home
and it is still giving the best of service
after all these 16 years."
"Best of all," he continues, "the operation
cost is just as low today as it wast 16 years
ago—less than one dollar a month."
Servel Gas Refrigerator has no moving
parts in its freezing system to wear and lose
efficiency. That's why thousands of home-
makers are not buying just any new refrig-
erator. Upon learning about silent, longer-
tasting Servel Gas Refrigerator, they, like
Mr. Hayden, insist, "When I am ready for
a new refrigerator it will be Servel Gas
Refrigerator for me."
