High School Graduates
Hear Whitley Harris
Commencement Address
Whitney Harris, a member of i
the law faculty of Southern Meth-1
odist University addressed the
1949 graduating class ol' Denison |
high school Friday night on the1
desirability of developing a proper j
perspective toward the future.
Mr. Harris was introduced by
Superintendent B. McDaniel, who
told the audience of Mr. Harris'
service in the navy during the
second World War, anil of his lat-
er assignment in Germany as le-
gal assistant to the staff of mili-
tary governor, General Lucius D.
Clay. This was Mr. Harris' first
visit to Denison.
He told his listeners, the grad-
uates and the large audience which
witnessed the commencement ex-
ercises, to keep informed. To de-
velop a proper perspective toward
the politcial, economic and spirit-
ual problems that confront our
world today. He reviewed for
them the founding of the early
colonies and the hardships that
were experienced by the founding
fathers, and their determination
to triumph over the difficulties
that beseiged them. He read por-
tion of Governor Bradford's ac-
count of that first year In the
new world, and he told the grad-
uates to try to benefit by the
great achievement of their forefa-
thers, in preserving the freedom
and self government which they
provided for us. In closing he told
them to make an honest effort, to
cling to God for guidance and they
would succeed.
Mary Alice Price, salutatorian,
spoke briefly on the "Benefits of
the Gilmer Aiken Bill" and what it
would mean to the Denison schools,
if enacted. It would provide for
a program of vocational education
for all youth over eighteen, Miss
Price said, who are not enrolled
in any regular school. Classes
would not exceed 25 students and
would be instructed by a compe-
tent teacher; educational experi-
ments would be conducted in ele-
mentary schools, and a secondary
school program would be establish-
ed for the good of all citizens.
Miss Joanne Newland, valedic-
torian, spoke on the lifting of the
Berlin Blockade, and explained
the cause of the blockade, the re-
sistance of Russia to our determi-
nation to fly supplies into Berlin
in spite of the blockade, and the
present situation since it was lift-
ed. She said this was by no means-
the end of the Berlin question, and
reviewed briefly the meeting, of
the Big Four ministers in France''
and their plans for the future of
the country that means so much
to the United States today, and to
the rest of the world.
Mrs. Roy Miller directed the
choruses in two numbers. The
mixed choir sang Moonlight Ma-
donna, and the boys' choir sang
Home on the Range.
Fred (Harvey, u member of the
school board, presented the diplom-
as as the names were called by
Principal Joe L. Dickson. Mr.
Harvey was introduced by Mr. Mc-
Daniel.
Preceding the exercises, the in-
vocation was given by the Rev. H.
F. Crews, pastor of the Church

From tiny single to giant double flowers, all the zinnias have charm.
To .many gardeners a zinnia is a
big flower on a large bush; and the
bigger they are. the more delighted
the grower. But size is not the only
merit of the zinnia. It will pay to
become acquainted with all its
types, and varied colors—so varied
that an entire garden may be plant-
ed to zinnias with excellent effect.
The illustration shows the prin-
cipal types, and their relative sizes.
If it also showed the colors you
would find every hue of the rainbow
represented except clear blues.
There are excellent lavenders and
purples, however. And for size, look
at the group of single flowers in the
.ipper right hand corner. These are
the zinnia linearis, which grows in a
sprawling plant 10 Inches tall, and
aears those yellow daisies abun-
lantly.
Three flowers in a row just below,
ivith feathery petals are scabiosa
lowered zinnias, with anemone-like
:enters, lovely as cut flowers. To the
eft of linearis are two red and yel-
ow striped flowers of the Navaho
;ype. Below them is a group of three
)lossoms which might be called
:urly-haired, because their petals
•lave discarded the rather formal
regularity that characterizes other
double zinnias, and have a perma-
nent wave, which many admire.
They are called, very appropriate-
ly, Fantasy zinnias. Two cupid zin-
nias — the smallest formal double
dowered — are at right of the top
Fantasy flower. The other small

each
year to the boy and girl with the
blossoms that encircle this top Fan-
tasy are Haggeana zinnias, a group
of delightfully varied forms and col-
or combinations, which make beau-
tiful bowl arrangements, as well as
looking well in the garden.
One the left side, top, are two Lil-
liput zinnias, which grow in little
bushes, with flowers held high above
the foliage, and so numerous as to
cover the plant. Below these are
Pumila zinnias, a little larger, with
much the same growing habit, high-
ly esteemed for both garden and cut
flower use.
The three lower blossoms are
large flowered varieties, a dahlia
flowered type on the left, the other
two California giants. And this does
not tell the whole story, for there
are several types left out. But you
can find them all in almost any seed
catalogue.
Zinnias grow so quickly it is hard-
ly necessary to start them under pro-
tection. Sow the seed as soon as it ii
safe for beans, and they come up in
a few days and grow so fast you
should have flowers in six weeks.
But give them room to develop, and
see that they have a fertile soil. A
complete plant food should be spad-
ed under or raked into the surface

hundred square feet. They like hot
weather, and stand it dry in mid-
summer, since they are natives of

Warns Of Dangers
Of Summer Ailments
The summer season always
brings an increase in the incidence
of dysentery, diarrheea and enter-
ities, all of which are major men-
aces to the lives of small children,
annually causing the deaths of
hundreds of Texas youngsters.
The state health officer, Dr.
Geo.W. Cox, declares that the
chief cause of these intestinal dis-
eases are contaminated milk, wat-
er or food; allowing the child to
get overheated or exhausted; ex-
cessive sugar in the infant's form-
ula, and foods that have been im-
properly refrigerated.

It's summer and many people are spending a
lot of time in their yards or working in the

When they hurry back in the house and
find they are too late . . . you can't blame
them for being annoyed that the person who
called didn't give them time to answer.
So, when you call, allow a full minute (ten
rings) for your friends to get to the telephone ,
