VERSE FOR THIS WEEK
I sought the Lord and He heard me, and
delivered me from all my fears. Ps. 34:4
DENISON, TEXAS, FRIDAY, JUNE 13, 1958
VOLUME 30—NUMBER 51
ALONG THE
NWS
•r THE EDITOR
Proud Fatheri
While the month of June is
known more or less for the mar-
riageable ones
j to find the right
party, yet for
[many years now
1 we have been
[observing the
third Sunday in
1 June as being
I Father's Day. At
I last the father
is coming into
his own. He is
being put in the family picture
where he belongs. And diadems of
one sort or another are being-
placed atop his manly brow. And,
i. range to say, we see the rest
tf the family gathered around
an I giving him special attention.
And, in all cases, the family seem
pleased to pay such rospo t,.
Cf course, v e are very liable
to read in some next week’s female
column where the fathers of
“modern” times are being replac-
ed by women who have taken
over all authority in heaven and
on earth and the man of today
i so insipid he cun hardly take
home his pay to the dominant
party who was married to him
and who started out to intimidate
his generou disposition to where
he would be “low, low” in spirit
ard reach the level of a bargain
buy at a fire sale.
So, if the man sits around and
continues to submit to such strip-
ping of one's authority and power
around the place, even the child-
ren will come to disregard his
testimony in any case as having
any hearing on the credibility of
a witness or being germane to
the case.
Of course, those women writ- J
era, most of whom are not mar-
ried, write out of their wishes
and desiies, hut a well establish-
ed mother in any man’s house is
still the one who listens to the
voice of experience as it rests in
the husband, and at the same
time this same mother extends th*»
glad hand at his home coming,
as well as an open palm on pay-
day.
When we let the home he run
by the female of the species to
the exclusion of the male, it will
not he long in coming a day when
the home is unbalanced, author-
ity- goes out of the hack -loon and
swaggering and defiant disobed-
ience comes crashing at the front
door and the house with no father
means a home with no strong
voice to command nor a shoulder
on which to lean, not to mention
the -panking facilities which can
only be distributed in the right
places and at the right time by
the male of the species.
® And yet, tenderness
After ail, there is more tender-
ness in the stern hand of the
father. It was the Father who saw
the son afar off and ran out to
meet him. It was a father who
cried over his son Absalom and
would himself have taken the
place us a substitute at the seat
c? justice, rather than see his
son die the death of disgrace
from u limb on a tree. And, it
must be remembered that an
ev r ambitious mother got her
sons into trouble by inveigling
one int > selling his birthright and
did so only after she had the fav-
ored son disguised so as to fool
her husband. And he was not the
first or last father and husband
to be dethroned by jealousy and
favoritism in the family group.
And, time mutated until today
we have a special (lay for father
in the effort to restore, or honor
the father as a creature he should
he in the family circle. In the ad-
monition to honor the parents, it
will he noted God, in His wis-
dom places the father in line as
to the matter of "honoring.” If
man could only see this depend-
ability God hopes rests in the
fathers of the lari, every husband
and father would match the hour
with the kind of a father every
home should have.
And now, girls, mothers, we are
honoring father, for June 15th is
set aside in this country as being
"Father’s Dav” in a very special
manner. So don’t hold it against
this eo'umnist as being prejudic-
ed, er narrow or a back number.

Planning board
delays action on
zoning request
In a meeting Tuesday morning,
members of the Denison Planning
Hoard heard Mrs. W. H. Bistiop
in regard to rezoning of property
on S. Houston where she and Mr.
Bishop want to build a waste pa-
per factory.
In an earlier meeting of the
hoard, when Bishop first made his
appeal in the matter to the city
council which turned it over to
the planning board, a public
hearing was set for June 2, so
that anyone within the stated area
could appear and approve or op-
pose the rezoning of that area in-
to first manufacturing district. No
one appeared at Tuesday’s meet-
ing in regard to the matter ex-
cept Mrs. Bishop. She restated
what Bishop had earlier told the
council ard zoning board. He had
purchased the property before it
was annexed to the city. He re-
presents the Big Chief Waste Pa-
per Co., and wants to build a
60x10(1 concrete floored building
on thjree of their five lots, to be
surrounded by a fence for bis
factory. Mrs. Bishop said there
were four vacant lots between
their property and another house,
u wrecking yard was in operation
in a half block of their property,
which is located one block south
Of the new Bells cutoff on S.
Houston.
City Manager David Harner
said this area would come in for
the urban renewal program when
and if Denison did undertake such
a program, but now it is one
Idock east of the already estab
lished commercial district along
Highway 75. Mrs. Bishop was told
to get up a petition signed by ail
persons living within 200 yards of
tiie proposed Waste Paper factory
and present it at the next plan-
ning board meeting.
Boyt Ciubhou!. Request
Approval was given the Boost-
ers Club request that the old
southside fire station be turtle I
over to a group of sponsors for
a boys' club house. This recom-
mendation will be presented to
the city council. No rezoning of
the property was deemed neces-
sary.
The action grew out of a re- I
quest from the council which had '
Red Cross needs
staff workers for
military camps
ST. LOUIS, MO. — While ail
needs for Red Cross personnel to
carry on the traditional Red Cross
services for the military at Na-
tional Guard and Reserve train-
ing encampments this summer can
be met by shifting workers al-
ready on duty at military installa-
tions across the nation, there is
a need for a limited number of
additional staff members, it was
reported today by Elizabeth
Bruce, director of Personnel at
the Midwestern Area Office here.
At the summer training camps,
Red Cross traditionally provides
counseling, assistance in person-
nel and family problems, and fin-
ancial assistance where needed,
such a is provided for regular
American military personnel
world-wide.
Some of the National Guard
end Reserve encampments are
held in locations where large
number.- of regular army person-
nel arc not maintained at all
times, and thus Red Cross work-
ers are not permanently assign-
ed there; however, from other
larger installations the organiza-
tion can shift staff to handle the
demands for service during the
summer months.
At some installations, due to
large number of military person-
nel on duty, year-round, Red
Cross staffs are assigned at all
times. In such eases, these work-
er.-- will assume the additional case
load that may be brought about
by the presence of National Guard
and Reseive training units.
According to Miss Bruce, due
to numerous other contributing
factors, a limited number of
young men, preferably veterans
and college graduates are needed
to fill permanent positions now
open to furnish Red Cross ser-
vices to persons in service. Infor-
mation is available through local
Red Cross chapters and the Mid-
western Area Office at 4050 Lin-
dell Boulevard, St. Louis 8, Mo.
been asked for authority to use
the vacant building for the club
which would be jointly sponsored
by the Boosters Club and the al-
ready operating Denison Police
Boys Club. No opposition had been
formally made until Tuesday at
the planning board meeting. The
Rev. Raymond Glen Flaherty,
pastor of Trinity Methodist
Church, and Dave Wilburn, chair-
man of the finance committee of
the church, appeared to protest.
They said the church had plans
to buy the property to use for
expansion of their youth program.
They objected to a possible re-
zoning of the area to retail dis-
trict.
Rezoning of the area is not
necessary, Harner said.
Manager Harner suggested tha
the city had not planned to sell
the property, that the church
would be unlikely to make a high
enough bid for it if it were for
sale, but that if the planning
board and council felt that the
boys should not use the building
as a clubhouse the city might con-
sider selling the property. The
planning board approved the
Boosters Club request, saying that
.. supervised program for boys,
which includes boxing as is being
handled now by members of the
Denison Police force would be a
benefit to the city.
In other action the Board ap-
proved a final plat presented b..
Bill Sager on recommendation “f
City Manager Harner who said
the approval was subject to the
attorney's approval of the devel-
oper’s bonds. The developer op-
erates as Condair Homes and the
area being developed is called
Southern Hills Addition. Prelim-
inary approval was given this plat
in July 1957, then known as the
Potts addition. It is a 250 foot
strip at Bullock and Woodlawn.
Action was delayed on the re-
quest of J. B. Sims to annex and
rezone an area west of Woodlawn
Boulevard to commercial district.
This property, Manager Harner
told the Board was included in
an area recently annexed and is
now In the city. It is now zoned
as residential district. Qtie ex

Lake Texoma has claimed its
93rd human victim since 1944
and the seventh since the first of
this year, in the Thursday morn-
ing drowning of a Madid woman.
Mrs. Leona Beasley, 55, drown-
ed in the lake sometime between
2 a.m. and 9:25 a.m. when her
body was discovered floating
near the Roosevelt Bridge by a
Texoma Lodge lifcsaver, Carl
Wayne Clark.
Mrs. Beasley is said to have
been a guest in a friend's home
and supposedly left there at 2
a.m. to catch a train for Tulsa.
When the body was discovered
it was taken to Watts Funeral
Home where it was identified.
The woman's car was found park-
ed at the bridge. The body was
fully clothed except for shoes.
Sheriff Urkil Hargis and Coun-
ty Attorney O. C. Barnes are in-
vestigating the incident, but the
coroner’s verdict said death was
by drowning with no foul play
irvolved. The victim is said to
have been in ill health. She had
recently been transferred from
Tulsa te Tuttle. She was employ-
ed i.y the Frisco.
