Denison young man
in summer study on
biology at location
AUSTIN—Seventy University
of Texas geology seniors and
graduate students are spending
six weeks of summer field camps
near Marathon and Smithville.
Among them is William Brent
Hopkins, Denison, 327 W. Monte-
rey.
At Marathon 34 men students
and one coed, Irma Jo Morgan
of Frisco, Route 2, arc studying
geology of the B g Ben and
Trans-Pecos areas. The 35 stu-
dents at Smithville are studying
Coastal Plains geology.
Both groups arc practicing the
techniques of geological map-
ping and studying the district
characteristics of different geo-
logic structures and formations.
Drs. Robert I,. Folk and Ern-
est I.. Lundelius are directing the

Nazarene church to
build $40,000 plant
A new $40,000 sanctuary will
be built by the Nazarene Church
on its present 231 west Texas lo-
cation. Dismantling of the pres-
ent building is under way to clear
the site.
To be a 50 by 74 feet brick-ve-
neer structure, the new sanctuary
will seat approximately 400 peo
pie. With a present congregation
strength of 225 members, the new
structure will provide additional
space for growing church needs,
Church of the Nazarene officials
have indicated.
Worship services of the church
during construction will be held
in an adjoining educational room,
and a neighborhood store building
will he used for church school pur-
poses.
Pastor of the church, Rev. Law-
rence Gohlson, is acting as gen-
eral building foreman and archi-

navy frogmen act
Record crowds turned out over
the July 4th weekend to view Sat-
urday and Sunday afternoon per-
formances of Navy Frogmen from
the U.S. Naval Amphibious Base
at Coronado, Calif.
Attendance marks for a public
e\ ent on Lake Texoma topped any-
thing ever presented, as hundreds
gave up in their efforts to reach
tile demonstration area in But-
terfly Cove of Eisenhower State
Park.
So large were the crowds, so
congested was traffic and parking,
ihat temporary bleachers and spec-
tator areas were jammed to over-
flowing. Parking space was at a
premium on the furm roads in all
directions adjacent to Eisenhow-
er State Park. Many walked
blocks to view the events.
Traffic was so heavy leaving
the demonstration, it was a driv-
er’s nightmare of start, stop and
go. Traffic creeped along in an
endless chain in every direction,
with cars bumper to bumper as
far as the eye could see.
Lt. J. W. Suddeth, officer in
charge of the Navy Frogmen
group, acted as narrator for the
demonstration. A total of 27 of-
ficers and men participated in
events and explained equipment
which the group brought along
from their California training
base. Demonstrations included
“roll offs” and “pickups” from
fast moving cruiser and auxiliary
craft, drops by a low flying heli-
copter from Perrin, underwater
demolition and explosions, and
other events.
Navy personnel, flown to Tex-
as from California especially for
this public demonstration, were
quartered at Perrin Air Force
Base during their stay in this
area. Their Naval transport plane
returned to Perrin earlier this
week to fly the U.S. Navy Frog-
men and their equipment back to
their Coronado, California, base.

Kiwanis watermelon
program for needy
Friday and Saturday
Final details were announced
Tuesday by the Kiwanis club at
their weekly meet;ng of their an-
nual watermelon sale conducted
for tho project fund of the club.
The club specializes in the youth
program and underprivileged. The
watermelon sale is announced for
tw o days next Friday, 4 to 10:30
and Saturday, 2 to 10:30, at Jun-
ior High Scjmol building.
Members of the club have tick-
ets and also drug stores of the
city have tickets for sale. Cold
v atei melons will be served from
their stand at the local Junior
High school grounds in the 700
block Main street.
Ice cold watermelons in abund-
ance and the serving is copious
and the price is only 25 cents
the slice, it is announced. Orders
will be received o\er the phone
and service given at the ground
for families to take their melons
home.
Many have already spoken for
melons. Lust year’s sule was con-
ducted at the local Munson Park
at the intersection of Crawford
and Rusk.
All funds go to the dub’s pet
project—Camp Fire Girls and un-
derprivileged ones.
Under direction of Charles Har-
ris, a committee on securing a
downtown parking lot or lots for
customers and visiors in Denison,
start was made Wednesday morn-
ing on the matter.
The initial steps of the commit-
tee will be first to arrive at some
kind of figure as to parking hab-
its of car drivers in the todwntown
area.
To this end a check will be
made at stated hours each day for
a number of days as to how many
cars are parked in each block for
a given number of hours. Also
the report is to cover the aver-
age length of time each car is
parked in order to determine as
far as possible how many park-
ing stalls will be needed, the av-
erage space for each stall and
the size of parking lot footage-
wise required for an average day.
After this detail is worked out
to as near factually correct a.
can be at this time, further steps
in the way of locating a lot or lots
large enough to cover the need t
of an estimated number of cars
parked each day. The report will
cover every day of the week to
get the average as near as possibly
correct.
The sequence of a trail which
was followed through in a recent
robbing and high-jacking case in
Denison, led to the arrest of two
Bonham men after the follow
through by the sheriff’s depart-
ment. •
Two men from Bonham, it is
stated, were lodged in jail on
charges of armed robbery of
Clay’s grocery on South Crockett
aevnue. It later developed that
the men had charges of hi-jack-
ing a Garland loan company
against them.
One of the clerks from the Gar-
land Loan Company was in the
group which went to an Oransas
prison farm to view the two sus-
pects recently. Clerks from Clay’s
idenified one of the men at the
same time.
Clinton Ervin Simpson, 22 of
Bonham, and James Burdette
Newton, 23, of Ector were charg-
ed with the May 29 holdup in
Garland in which $015 was tak-
en.
Simpson and Newton were ar-
rested last month in Arkansas af-
ter two robberies in that state.
Both are currently serving five-
year prisons entences assessed in
one of the cases.
The pair also admitted robbing
a Paris store.

Ward nine created
for south Denison
Ward nine, newly created by
action of Denison city council at
its last Wednesday meeting, will
include most of the Cotton Mill
area. Added with the apparent
thought in mind to assist in solving
considerable voting confusion of
residents in that area since an-
nexation to the city, ward nine is
another new ward to he added in
recent years.
Boundaries of the new ward
nine, which more or less follow
highways and city limits of newly
annexed South Denison areas, does
not include the recently approved
Owens Addition. East line of Ward
nine runs out highway 75 except
tor an area extending out Fannin
avenue to Seymore street, and ties
back into highway 75 adjacent to
Scullin avenue.
West line of ward nine extends
out Coffin, makes an irregular
jog, runs to the city limits at the
MKT Railroad, thence south and
east along annexed limits to high-
way 75, with Brock street form-
ing the north boundary of ward
nine.
Where ward nine polls for vot-
ing purposes will be held has not
been designated, but it has been
indicated by city officials that a
logical spot for voters to cast their
ballots would he at Golden Rule
school. Location of polls will be
made known to the public and
voters when it has been determ-
ined.
Fight on pornography
assumes spectacular
determined backing
Industry figures for the first
six months of 1959 now indicate
that construction this year will
exceed the all-time records estab-
lished in the building boom year
of 1955, according to W. R. Wil-
kinson, vice president of Johns-
Manville Corporation.
Mr. Wilkinson, who is general
manager of the company’s build-
ing products division, said that
Johns-Manville statistical studies
and field reports for the half year
ending June 30 forecast approxi-
j mately 1,360,000 new home starts
! in 1959, an increase of some 40,-
00o over the 1,320,000 new home
! starts recorded in peak year of
I 1956.
"Dollar value of new construc-
tion in 1959 could reach about
$56 billion on the basis of infor-
mation we now have,” he laid.
“This is another all-time record.
Add to this an indicated $22 bil-
lion worth of modernization, main-
tenance and repairs on existing
structures and you get a $78 bil-
lion construction year, about $8
billion more than our 1958 year-
end forecasts led us to expect.
This is a construction record nev-
er before achieved by any na-
tion.”
"The rapid pace of construction
all over the country revealed by
figures for the first six months
have obliged us to ravise our an-
nual construction estimates up-
wards for the second time this
year,” Mr. Wilkinson said. "And
this takes into account a strong
1 robability that new housing starts
may be down more than season-
ally in the last half of 1959,” he
said.
“For the past seven months,
public and private housing starts
have varied at the seasonably ad-
justed annual rate of close to or
even over 1,400,000 new homes,”
Mr. Wilkinson said. "This rate is
well above what we and many
others in the construction indus-
try had expected. It is, however,
not above what we had estimated
to be the ‘normal* demand for
new housing in 1959, if you in-
clude the current high rate of de-
molition of old structures, as well
as new household formations and
other factors our economists use
in making these forecasts.”
“Many of us," he said, "have
suspected since early this year
that the building boom expected
by government and industry econ-
omists to start in the early 1960’s
may already be in the first stages
of getting underway ahead of
schedule. This possibility gets
more interesting each month as
new figures come in showing a
sustained high level of new con-
struction.”
New home* million bracket
"As to the short-term future,"
Mr. Wilkinson said, “there may be
a corrective adjustment in the lat-
ter half of this year. During the
last six months of 1959 new home
starts could run somewhat below
the seasonally adjusted annual

Press chalks up 32nd birthday
The other day down at the Brownsville, Texas Press
convention, Beeman Fisher, whom we had not seen for
some years, and who has been associated with the Texas
Power and Light Co., for more than 40 years, made this
statement to the editor:
1 Boy, am I glad to see you again. It has been
many years since we have seen each other. After
asking us how THE PRESS was going and hardly
before we could answer, he replied: ’ I was with
you with advertising when it was not popular among
some folk—especially those who did not want to
see your paper stay in business.
And how true that statement.
Had it not been for his company and a few others
Ichabod would have been written a long time back. But
since we have braved the storm to this date, we have no
intentions of giving up.
If the people who wish for the sustenance of a pub-
lication such as THE PRESS will continue their patronage
we shall make another birthday in the next 12 months—
and we hope several more like it,
So to all who have in any way aided us to get out
a paper such as Denison could and should have, we will
do our part and remain more thrilled than ever, and also
