Group women lends
on Main street
out in move to build
two swimming pools
Two swimming pools for Den-
ison is the new project of the
Texoma Area Women’s Federa-
tion, and the idea was brought
to the attention of the city council
at Wednesday’s called meeting
by Mrs. V. J. Gerhardt and other
members of the women’s organi-
zation.
The group asked the council
for their help and cooperation in
launching their project, saying
that they knew they could do
nothing about it unless the city
fathers gave their approval.
The club women, Mrs. Gerhardt
explained, want to enter a Sears-
Roebuck prize winning contest
which offers cash prizes ranging
up to $10,000, but to enter the
contest the organization must
have a project, and the swimming
pools for Denison, if they are giv-
en permission to further their
idea, will be their project.
No action was taken by the
council other than their hearty
approval of such a commendable
action on the part of the organ-
ization, but the discussion and
questions which followed resulted
in the council’s advise to the
group to obtain cost figures and
definite plans and present them
to the park and recreation com-
mittee, just appointed by the
council.
Other members of the Federa-
tion who accompanied Mrs. Ger-
hardt, were Mrs. H. B. Anderson,
Mrs. H. Y. Parrott, Mis. E. L.
Hailey, Mrs. Walter Hill and Mrs.
Felix Grundy.
Byrd points out
facts on budget
asked by president
WASHINGTON — The follow-
ing statement by Senator Harry
F. Byrd (D. Va.) in le the Pres-
ident's foreign aid request was
issued May 22.
In presenting his foreign aid
appropriation requests for fiscal
year 1958, the President last
night omitted mention of the to-
tal amount which would be avail-
able.
He asked for $3.9 billion in
new appropriations. This would
be in addition to $0.2 billion of
unexpended balances remaining
in previous appropriations. The
total available, beginning July 1,
for expenditure would be $10.1
billion. This is in addition to $0.8
billion in foreign currencies avail-
able outside the budget.
It will be contended that most
of these unexpended balances are
obligated, but foreign aid obliga-
tions are not always film and
they have been deobligated, re-
served, transferred, etc.
Not only did the President, in
effect, request a total of $10.1
billion to be available in foreign
aid during the coming year, but
he also proposed a whole new
foreign loan program on a per-
manent basis. For this new loan
program he requested $500 mil-
lion direct appropriations for the
coming year and asked for auth-
ority to spend an additional $1.5
billion out of the U.S. debt in fis-
cal years 1959 and 1960 to in-
crease the capital in this propos-
ed new foreign loan program.
To date foreign aid has cost
$63.5 billion, according to offic-
ial figures compiled by the U.S.
Department of Commerce. Most
of this has been added to the fed-
eral debt on which American tax
payers will be paying, with inter-
est, for years to come.
The Congress should have a
complete blueprint of authority
to spend for foreign aid. Amer-
ican taxpayers should be inform-
el, without confusion, as to:
1. The $6.2 billion of balances
in previous appropriations avail-
able to be spent;
2. The $3.9 billion in new ap-
propriations requested;
3. The $0.8 billion in foreign
currencies owed to and owned by
the United States available for
foreign aid expenditure outside
the budget in the coming year;
and
4. The $1.5 billion requested
for the new foreign loan progiam
in future years.

Disappearing parents?
If there be some kind of prop
aganda getting a footing which
is calculated to
undermine the
influence of the
parents of today
as suggested by
“Mrs. Fergusor."
in her column
in the Fort
Worth Press,
most of we par-
ents would like
to learn some-
thing of the operations, if such
operations have been reduced to
some form of device. We would
hardly say method. The devil him-
self must be back of such a thing,
if true, for the devil employs de-
vices rather than method. Says
the Apostle Paul “we are not ig-
norant of his (the Devil’s) de-
vices.’’
Methods are based on life
movements. When life movements
are directed in some marplot kind
of fashion it leads into deviltry
and “missing the mark.”
The young man who left his
home under a delusion that his
freedom in the home was being
inhibited and it would require
leaving his father with a broken
heart and set up his place among
those who caused him to spend his
all among them in riotous living,
soon “came to himself.” He “miss-
ed the mark” for a period, but
conditions, both spiritual and phy-
sical operated on the thinking of
the young man and he had the
stamina, fearlessness of what oth-
ers might say of his determina-
tion to honor the father he left,
and showed to the world what
changing “the center of his ener-
gy” could do.
So far as the operations of the
devil are concerned, he has always
been able to attract people only
when they are made unable to de-
termine between a meal and a
bait. The day often comes when
a boy or girl think themselves
far and away above their parents
as to many matters. Changes
through which they go, choices
which they must make, have the
best chance to inure to the good
of the chooser when the parents
have adopted the old policy of
teaching “here a little and there
a little” from the earliest impres-
sionable days, even in the cradle
days. Such a training policy has
the assurance that time and its
changes will not cause our child-
ren to “depart from” such days
of impressionable opportunities.
Give the child its “own way”
and it becomes the ready prey for
those of the despoilers. Also if
the child’s parents neglect their
offspring and spend their major
interests in stocks and bonds, par-
ties and clubs, and matters whol-
ly apart from the interests of the
child, when his life movements
rise to where he begins to think
things through and observe, asks
questions and show disrespect,
those of our parents who have
experienced this stage, know of
what this writer speaks.
Life movements can't be given
a canned prescription as to cock
sure directions. Each case is a
separate one. If the child cries for
the valuable watch, to substitute
something else would be the
method by which the parent may
opeiate. Keep on telling “Willie
don’t” and the child becomes a
negative factor. If the child of
today is weaned away by some
form of deviltry movement as is
suggested by Mrs. Ferguson, it
is time for all of us to tell the
child that we are lined up for
him as a chum, companion and
best friend.
After seeing all of one’s own
children come to the point where
they choose to leave and make
a home for themselves, the most
cherished thought is we never re-
gret to see the postman bring a
letter from them. .That faith is
one’s child must be enough to in-

Right at this time on Main
street several pieces of improve-
ment in the way of painting, re-
modeling interiors, removals to
new locations may be noted in
Denison.
Excitement of the flood wea-
ther, rains taking over Main
street in the “distress” area just
about over, the localites may now
take time to note the repairs,
new fronts, reconditioning of in-
teriors and other minor activ-
ities dress-wise may be noted.
Since the lemoval of the Lilley-
Linn store to their new st.ucture
sit 329 and 331 Main, and which
event was given a big sendoff by
capacity crowds, their vacated
building has been undergoing a
general firing-up job which meant
new walls, new tiling, new front
treatment and properly equipped
for a general furniture and ap-
pliance business which is a new
angle of the business of Nathan
Crouch, that gentleman adding
the furniture line. Mr. Crouch,
who says he will retain his lease
at the old stand 226 Main, has
bought the building into which he
will place the furniture stock. His
appliance business will be retain-
ed in the 200 block.
Farther on up Main street in
the 400 block, the front of the
Waldron drug store is getting an
entire face lifting from the top
to the bottom. The old multiple
window style of the upstairs has
given way to a plaster treatment
with only two windows about 6x6
feet placed in the space. On the
lower floor the interior of the
front has been given a complete
change and an all-glass double
door with suitable plate glass ad-
ditions to the wings. Work will be
completed in a few days.
Several paint jobs of store
fronts are being pushed with the
advantage gained by the sunshiny
days. Among them are J. C. Pen-
ney Co., Waldron Drug, Nathan
Crouch building, Saratoga Cafe,
Bill’s Hardware and Furniture,
Hubbard Furniture and others.
Plans are said to be underway
among civic leaders to push var-
ious angles of good ideas for the
general beautification, safety and
recreational welfare of the city.
This will be heard from in due
time, it is promised by those push-
ing the idea.
Two vote approval
for annexation in
school election
By a two-vote difference of
voters in Layne Common School
District, annexation of Layne to
Denison schools was approved in
the school consolidation election
held Saturday.
An official canvass of Layne
e-lection returns Tuesday by the
Commissioners Court indicated
156 voted for annexation with
Denison while 154 opposed con-
solidation. Denison school district
voters went 168 to 8 in favor of
the school consolidation program.
Approval in Layne district by
the two-vote margin of the annex-
ation came after an unsuccessful
attempt only a few years ago
when a consolidation proposal of
Denison and Layne schools was
defeated by a thumping majority
of almost 4 to 1.
A proposal to consolidate
Layne with Pottsboro, George-
town, and Willow Springs into
another independent school dis-
trict was defeated by Layne vot-
s in March.

between parked cars in front of
him. He applied his brakes and
stopped hut bumped the boy,
kr.ucking him down. The report
said the child then got into his
fathei’s car and was taken home.
This injury marks the 6th for
the month of May, which has had
55 accidents to date, Wednesday
the 29th. Property damage is es-
timated at $3,485.
An accident Sunday evening
around 7, which occurred at the
intersection of Woodard street
and Brown avenue, did consider-
able damage to a new 1957 Mer-
cury sedan, less damage to a
1954 Mercury convertible, and
caused negligent collision charges
to be filed against Paul Smith,
the driver of the convertible.
Driver of the sedan was Walter
Higgins. Later Higgins informed
officers he was driving north on
Brown avenue approaching the
intersection of Brown and Wood-
ard, when he saw the other car
coming east on Woodard and he
attempted to turn right onto
Woodard to avoid the collision,
but the other car struck his on
the left side. The Higgins car
was doing about fifteen miles an
hour and the other car was trav-
eling approximately 35 miles an
hour. Skid marks showed the
Smith car had skidded fourteen
steps after brakes were applied.
Damage to the Smith car was es-
timated at $75 but the Mercury
sedan was damaged to the extent
of $375 and had to be hauled in
to a repair shop by Denison Auto
Co. Wrecker. Captain Jones of
the Denison police investigated
the accident.

account weather
Commencement exercises for
the 1957 graduating class of Den-
ison Senior high school which
were to have been held in the
Munson Memorial recreation park
in the first out door graduation
in the school’s history, had to be
changed to the auditorium of
Junior High at the eleventh hour
on account of wet grounds and
ruin forecast.
The progiam was unique in
liial no special speaker was feat-
ured; a number of outstanding
students shared honors with the
Jass valedictorian and salutator-
ian and special recognition was
given to representative teachers
lor outstanding work.
“Our American Heritage” was
the theme of the program and it
was introduced by the valedictor-
ian, Linda Chapman Medearis.
Topics on the subject were ably
handled by a group of students
with the highest grades next to
those of the honor students.
These graduates and their topics
were Jerry Coffman, “Our Heri-
tage in Religion”; Peggy Ingram,
“Our Heritage in Government”;
Judith Bryant, “Our Heritage in
Free Expression”; Carolyn Mar-
tin, “Our Heritage in Culture”;
and David Couch, “Our Local
Heritage in Education”. Doris
Wells, salutatorian, brought the
program to a close with a general
summary of the subject.
Awards to the most represent-
ative teachers went to Mrs. Hel-
en Dixon, teacher at Lamar; Mrs.
Valine Hollingsworth, Peabody;
Mrs. Lola May Stevens, Junior
High and Miss Ruth West, Senior
High.
The program began with Men-
delssohn’s “War March of the
Priests” played by Charles Logan,
organist and ended with Verdi
Triumphal March from “Aida”.
The invocation was given by Roy
Goodman, Jr., president of the
senior class. Sylvia Foster, out-
standing chorus member, sang
“The Lord’s Prayer”, and the
chorus, under the direction of
Miss Grace Crump, sang, The Bat-
tle Hymn of the Republic.

Round Up Club
wants to stage
show in Stadium
Members of the Denison Round
Up Club presented a proposed
resolution to the city council at
Wednesday’s called meeting, ap-
proving the use of the rodeo
grounds by the Texoma Quarter
Horse Association for a show on
June 2, and further proving that
after August 31 the Round Up
Club be allowed to remove from
Munson park all the facilities
they have erected there.
No action \va- taken on the
matter pending the outcome of
couit action Friday morning in
Judge W. C. Dowdy’s 59th dis-
trict court to which all members
of the council have been sub-
poened to appear.
The Denison Round Up Club
filed for an injunction prevent-
ing the Texoma Quarterhorse As-
sociation from holding a horse
show June 2 in Munson Park
arena.
The Round Up Club also peti-
tioned tre council for permission
to use Munson Stadium in Forest
Park to stage a horse show June
30. No action was taken on this
matter, partly because the Mun-
son Stadium does not belong to
the city but to the Denison In-
dependent School District, and
also partly because all matters
pertaining to the two organiza-
tions will be held in abeyance un-
til after the court session Friday.
A new resoluion regulating the
use of Munson park giving the
city council full authority as to
its use was approved. The resolu-
tion cancels out the March 27 re-
solution which figures in the con-
tention between the two organi-
zations.
Local merchants
stocking goods
current style
Most of Denison’s local mer-
chants have had their buyers in
Dallas and other markets for the
past weekend and into the new
week, purchasing the latest-styled
merchandise for the trade.
Dallas offers one of the best
markets for late styles and ample
merchandise has rapidly made its
way along that line for the trade.
Buyers even as far as Mississip-
pi on the east and New Mexico
to the west making Dallas. St.
Louis buyers make periodical
trips to Texas for merchandise.
Merchants report sales on the
increase, especially since the
rains have let down. Lumber deal-
ers and builders have had their
business slacken considerably and
trades allied with building have
felt the pinch of small volume
relatively.
However the spirit of optimis-
tic outlook is seen in the fact that
numerous business concerns are
putting fresh coats of paint in-
side and outside their places of
business and Main street is see-
ing improvement through fresh
paint jobs, new awnings, glass
doors taking the place of the old
wood-glass jobs.

(By a staff writer)
Multiplied thousands of Denisonians and visitors, saw here
this week what they never expected—millions of gallons of
water rushing over the spillway.
It took a rise in Lake Texoma of 50 feet plus to do it, but
the engineers, who have their thumbs on the pulse of Lake
Texoma waters as a physician does his patient, told in advance
by several hours the time the water would do the impossible
(by wiseacres) and rise to unhead-of levels until now, the new
flood level.
Many who remained up a great part of the night, were at
the scene early Tuesday morning and saw the creeping waters
as they ate their way over unexplored areas and crept over the
crown of the spillway to dash into the waiting path laid out by
engineers years ago for its line of travel. It happened at 5:30
a.m. Tuesday.
On hand to see the maiden
event of the capricious waters
were distinguished visitors such
as a modern helicopter, a live
camera with movie accessories,
taking pics of the historic hap-
penings. The scene taken from
the helicopter as well as those
snapped from the ground level,
will be on screens wherever TV’s
are to be had. If the Denison
Dam and Lake Texoma have been
looking for a new world of fame
and history-making acts, wild
Lake Texoma with its devastat-
ing and destructive waters as
they worked on millions of dol-
lars worth of concessions, boats,
outing resorts and all that goes
to make a pleasureable resort
center, then this last act of the
waters can roll up a new score.
As the waters rolled over the
rounding top of the spillway, on-
lookers saw thousands of fish of
every description inhabiting the
Lake Texoma waters, borne
down stream.
AMPLE WARNING
Farther on ui the stream,
industries that might be caught
in some fashion by the new high
level ot the river, had taken the
advance warning from engineers
and moved their machines and
other possessions out of the line
of rising waters.
What, however, in the way of
damage was spared many below
the dam, will be known in a few
days after checkings now being
made are announced. The Press
carried a story May 10 which
gave the news that specialists from
the engineering department at
Tulsa were working out of Dei^-
ison on an economic survey. The
gentlemen were L. M. Snider and
Early Thompson, their work be-
ing to determine by a thorough
canvass among farmers and oth-
ers owning property of any kind
in the area between Denison at
the dam and Fulton, Ark. as to
what if any damage had been
visited on them during the pres-
ent flood. Also this will be com-
pared with any loss that might
have been sustained in the same
area at various other former per-
iods when the waters below the
dam, and prior to the era of the
dam, as those losses have been
reported.
THE RISK TAKER
It is generally stated by en-
gineers, that bad as the flood
waters may be, such losses will
be far less than prior to erection
of the dam.
It may be stated, that any loss
sustained by concessionaires were
told in advance just how high
the waters would likely rise some
day in the future. That day- came.
And those of the pleasure resort
folk yvho took a long shot and
built too close to the waters, have
no recourse as to damage done or
ways of reimbursement. As many
of the rest of us get told when
something unpredictable happens,
"it was just one of those things.”
NOT ONE LIFE LOST
Unlike many other flood areas
in the rash of floods over the
state and sister states, not one
life has been lost during the
flood waters incident to the high
level of Lake Texoma. Much
property has been inundated, but
those whose houses or buildings
were damaged by the rising waters,
were those who took a long
chance after engineers gave pos-
itive information to all conces-
sionnaires where the water zone
was located. They failed to ob-
serve the mark, took a risk, and
the floods came. But t.hey’11 re-
build again in the days ahead,
like all other flooded areas, there
will reman no stings of the event.
Highway accidents in Grayson
County during April took one
life, injured 16, and caused $7,-
990 in property damage, accord-
ing to the monthly report of Cap-
tain Harry Hutchison in charge
of District 2 of which Grayson
county is a part.
Grayson’s report of traffic ar-
rests included:
3 DWI; 7 speeding; 1 fail to
yield ROW; 1 following too
closely; 2 improper passing; 2
driving on wrong side of road; 1
fail to give signal; 2 improper
turn; 1 livestock violation; 1 de-
fective equipment. Four of these
were one-vehicle accidents, and 5
involved a drinking driver. These
resulted in 1 death, 16 injuries,
and $7,990.00 property damage.
The total number of accidents
on the highway in District 2 for
the year to date showed 475 ac-
cidents investigated; 457 for the
same period last year; 32 persons
killed against 39 for the same
period of time last year; 261 per-
sons injured, 280 persons last
year; $323,365 in property dam-
age this year compared to $360,-
166 for the same period of time
in 1956, which shows that condi-
tions have proved a little more
favorable during the first months
of 1957.
Other activities for April, as
reported by Captain Hutchison,
shows:
Forty-two men assigned to
routine patrol duties; 5 men as-
signed to duties other than rout-
ine patrol; 11,022 man hours
worked; 155,939 vehicle miles
traveled; 2,059 persons arrested
for traffic violations; 8 persons
arrested for criminal offenses
other than traffic; 2,485 persons
issued written warnings for haz-
ardous traffic violations; 931
apprehensions by radar; 24 lect-
ures and speeches by patrol per-
sonnel, and 949 total attendance.
Four most common factors
causing ancidents were speeding;
fail to yield right of way, improp-
er passing and driving on wrong
side of road.
Thirty-five per cent of total ac-
cidents involved only one vehicle,
and 20.6% of total accidents in-
volved a drinking driver.
