Educational Building
First Presbyterian Is
Accepted by Officials
Formal acceptancc of the Edu-
cational Building Annex to the
First Presbyterian church located
at the southwest corner of Bur-
nett and Gandy was given on be-
half of the church Tuesday after-
noon of this week by A. P. Linn,
chairman of the building commit-
tee. In accepting the keys to the
educational building from Albert
Danielson of Datiielson Construc-
tion Co., general contractors in
charge of construction of tha
building, Mr. Linn expressed the
appreciation of his committee and
the church membership for the
satisfactory manner in which the
■job was handled by the construc-
tion firm and everyone who was
connected with the entire job.
Members of the building commit-
tee with Mr. Linn were M. T.
Bronstad, John F. Landers, Harvey
V. Tucker, Verne W. Murray, Ben
Munson III, Milt G. Hauser, Mrs.
J. E. Meador and 'Mrs. Ben Mun-
son Jr.
Begun July 5th, 1949, with the
original contract for $82,000.00,
the new educational . building is
the first addition to the original
churclf sineo it was constructed in
1904. The new structure is a 2-
story building of 'pumice stone
walls with brick and cut stone ex-
terior finish, and will house 12
departments and class rooms, a
fellowship hall, a kitchen, the
church offices, and a. chapel with a
seating capacity of from 70 to 80
people. All Sunday school depart-
ments with the exception of two
adult classes will be located in the
new building. The first class
meetings are to be held in the
new annex on Easter Sunday,
April 9th.
Most of the children's depart-
ments through the junior age
groups a,re being furnished with
new church equipment, and new
pews are being installed in the
chapel this week. Furnished large-
ly through memorial gifts from
the church membership and others
with such itemsi as pews, windows,
etc., the chapel is to be used pri-
marily for mid-week prayer serv-
ices and small church gatherings
More than 200 members have
been added to the church rolls
since the coming of Rev. Edward
S. Bavless, p-stor, in April of
1947. and the new educational
bu'lding was necessary to meet the
needs of an enlarged and expand-
ing church program.

HE IS RISEN"
There is enough evidence to es-

to satisfy even the most skeptical.

fact that "the

of all, spiritual.
The fact He stated in advance
He would rise from the dead the

a strong guard at the tomb with
the threat of death over them if
they failed in their assigned task.
That they were outwitted is
seen by the fact the soldiers hired
witnesses to say the "body was
stolen while they slept." No wit-
ness could make their testimony
stand by following with the state-
ment they were asleep at the time
the thing happened. No court in
the land would let such testimony
stand.

party leaving the grave took time
to carefull fold the graveclothes
and leave them in a tidy condition.
The ethics of the Christ which
He taught have come down

a list of candidates greater in
number than in any like campaign
for several years. A total of six
candidates filed before the cur-

brisk enough, there was no special-

When the votes were counted,
the announcement was made short-
ly after 7 o'clock that Joe M.
Crumpton had a lead of 44 votes
over his next opponent, Mike Cas-
ey. A complete breakdown table
on the entire vote cast appears
elsewhere on this page.
Hardly were the surface waters
of the vote getting efforts dis-
turbed by the activities of thei can-
didates or their friends. House-to
-house canvassing was done and a
close drive made downtown among
the business men by the candi-
dates or their friends.
Very few campaign pledges
were made as to giving in detail
what the candidates might stand
for nor outline madet'as to what
they considered the city needed
which would enlist his support.
Each candidate pledged him-
self, however, to support a pro-
gram of forward-looking plans for
the city, and all said they wanted
a more complete street and sewer
program for the city. No one
outlined, however, just how the I
money could be faised to finance
what the city has long known to
be in need of giving the peoples.
If any votes were cast with the
thought that their man would be
the answer to the prayer of the
city for more water and sewer
service, the answer will not be
there. The answer is to be with
the people as to whether or not
According to a state-wide plan
to check for safety against fire
hazards, Denison's hospitals will
be among those visited by a spec-
ial committee. A task force of
135 has been set up and these gen-
tlemen, who are trained specially
for the job, have undertaken the
job of determining the fire safety
of the 750 hospitals in the state, it
is announced from the Texas In-
surance Advisory association.
Jack Maguire, a former Denison
boy, whose parents; reside at 310
W. Hull, is director of public re-
lations for the association.
Inspectors, hand-picked from en-
gineers and field men of capital
stock fire insurance companies
and some casualty companies, will
check every hospital in the state
during the year, A Sidney Briggs
of Dallas, manager of the Texas
Fire prevention and engineering
bureau, said.
The state-wide inspection, de-
signed to prevent loss of life by
fire in Tccas hospitals, has been
approved by the Texas Hospital
Association. Albert H. Scheidt,
administrator of the City-County
Hospital System in Dallas, will
work with the Fire Prevention and
Engineering Bureau in arranging
and conducting the inspections.
Ten Texas hospitals already
have been given thorough check
since the program was inaugurat-
ed recently, Mr. Briggs said. The
Texas inspections are part of a
nation-wide program sponsored by
the Nal'onal Board of Fire Under-
writers and 9,000 hospitals in the
United States will be checked he-
fore the year ends, he said.
Improving the safety to life is
the* primary objective of the in-
spections, according to Mr. Briggs.
Inspectors will be on the lookout
principally for fire and explosion
hazards. They also will report on
building construction; automatic
fireprotection equipment, such as
1 Special Week of
Services Featurin
.ast 7 Words, Close
Friday noon will see the last
of the series of meetings featur-
ing the last seven words of Jesus
on the Cross, which messages
have been brought by the various
ministers of Denison's churches.
The ministers*speaking at the serv-
ices were selected by the members
of the Denison Pastors' Associa-
tion.
The attendance has been uni-
formly good and the messages
have been the source of bringing
about a spiritual approach to
Easter morning.
The subjects and the speakers
as they have appeared on the pro-
gram from Monday have been as
follows:
Monday — "Father Forgive
Them"—Rev. Guy Duff.
Tuesday—"Today Thou Shalt
Be with Me."—Rev. J. W. Lassa-
ter.
Wednesday—"i Thirst"—LeRoy
M. Anderson.
An Easter sunrise service on
the eastern slope of the Denison
dam Sunday morning at 6:11 will
climax the pre-Easter evangelistic
campaigns of the various Christ-
ian churches in the city, and the
special Holy Week services which
were conducted each day at the
noon hour in the First Presbyte-
rian church under the auspices of
tlTe 'Ministers' Alliance.
Special Easter services based
upon the theme of the Resurrec-
tion of Christ and the Christian's
belief in immortality, have been
planned for each of the several
churches for their morning wor-
ship hour. Special music will be
an integral part in the worship
services, with many of the local
churches reserving this part of
their program for the evening
hour.
A concentrated evangelistic
and visitation campaign, carried
on during the past several weeks
by various churches is expected
to result in the enrollment of
many new members to the church-
es of the city.
At the sunrise service Easter

to Thy Hands"—Rev. W. O. Bucy. |
The Easter Sunrise service will
be at 6:11 on the east bank of
the Denison dam. In case of in-
clement weather the service will be
at the First Presbyterian church.

city into any embarrassing situa-

An analysis of the votes showed
Mr. Crumpton to take the lead
over his next opponent. Mike Cas-

This will make no runoff neces-
sary, according to' the manner of
