Vernon Rollins of Rollins
Manufacturing Company ap-
peared at the City Council
meeting Tuesday night to pro-
test the holding of the an-
nual “Old Settlers Reunion
• in the town square."
^ Rollins said that he was not
against the carnival and was
certainly for the firemen but
the town square was not the
place to set up for a carnival.
Mayor Phil Vines told Rol-
lins that the matter would be
taken into consideration.
Kenneth Mayfeild of Dun-
canville presented a contract
for the councils approval for
thft city's garbage pick up.
Mayfield’s present contract
expires July 14.
No change in cost will be
made at the present time but
on January 1 the burning of
garbage and trash will be
prohibited by the state and
since the refuse will then
have to be buried, a change in
cost may have to be made then.

Gordon Associates presented
Community Association
Elects Officers For Year
Officers of the United Com-
munity Association were el-
ected last Wednesday night for
the coming year.
Tbe new officers are Col.
D. M. Me Mains, presidnet;
Bruce Youngblood, Vice-
president and publicity chair-
man; Mrs. A. J. Derbo, sec-
retary; Mrs. E.L. Barnett,

After a week of “reunion"
right in the middle of town
we feel that the biggest need
of our town, before this time
next year , is a fair ground
or park. The town square is
Just not suitable for a carni-
val. It's not fair to the mer-
chants to have their parking
f areas and streets blocked for
three or four days.
More money leaves Cedar
Hill at Reunion time each year
than most people realize. Only
a percentage of the money
spent on rides goes to the fire-
men while the merchants lose
money because their custo-
mers would rather go out of
town Instead of fighting the
congestion.
• e •
Lots of folks are on vaca-
tions around town this month.
Why not call the Chronicle
eWe've been kidded during
the past week for our de-
fense of teenagers’ driving in
last weeks column. We have
always felt that this group was
worthy of being praised but
since we are outnumbered by
this group at home, this
shouldn’t come as too much
of a surprise to anyone.
We have even been accused
of “whistling in the dark”
when we said that most teen-
agers are safe drivers. This
could be true since we have
one teenager taking drivers
training and one that recently
bought a motorscooter, so if
we can convince ourself that
young drivers are careful, we
won't worry so much.
Sure, I get knotted up with
worry, even to the point of
scute Insomnia. Last night,
treasurer: and Mrs. Wesley
England, financial chairman.
Richard Warren and De-
borah Anderson were elected
as teen delegates to the board
of directors.
Firemens Prizes Won
By Local People
The winners have been
announced in the nightly draw-
ings at the Fireman’s Old Set-
tlers Reunion. They were

Thrusday night, Mrs. Vera
Witherspoon, 322 Texas
Street, who won a portable
television on Friday night; and
Mrs. Paul Nicholson, 713 Dog-
wood, who won the washer and
dryer by Catalina on Saturday
night.
Fire Chief Wilson Knight
said that this was the first
time in the history of the re-
union that all of the big priz-
es were won by local people.
