■Y THE EDITOR
The Sime Old Devil
We are told that the devil has
the power to come to us as “an
I angel of light.”
| We are all
: familiar with
I that little poem
! of how vice
I comes to us as a
I thing so “fright-
| fully mean” and
s -nds up with our
|pitying it and
hen embracing
lit. The devil, if
ever he appeared at any time, is
today present in one of its worst
forms—that of communism.
And we, gullible as we have
been so much during the first
world war for pro-Germanism;
then for the dope Hitler put out;
and now Communism, are still a
little too much on the gullible
side.
It i\as the policy of the Huns
to make themselves so terrible,
that we would not, as patient, be-
lieving and trusting Americans,
belie.e. Speeches telling people
back in 11114-11118 what the Ger-
mans had in store for us were
laughed at. We know. We made
those speeches and told the peo-
ple what Germany had up their
leeves.#But we were hooted at.
At least until they started sink-
ing our ships with thousands of
boys on board. Then we were
sought out to make speeches.
They wondeied why they were
not told befoie. They had been,
but they would not: believe it. And
that was exactly what the enemy
vvartod us to do.
• "Tell That Fox”
The Son of God told a certain
gnoup, when he referred to the
sly Herod, “go tell that fox that
I go to Jerusalem.” He knew the
sly fox Herod and his plans. He
knew the trie' s of the plotters
and knew them in advance. He
told how the wolf clothed in
sheep’s clothing would deceive the
people.
Yet, we seem to be a people
on the side of gullibiity on a
scale that we are almost at the
sinking point before we awaken
to the perils that are ours.
Ancient 1 steal w’ent down be-
cause they wanted to try some-
thing different and asked for a
ruler that meant their downfall.
We are being told that the decay-
ing seeds of death and perishabil-
ity are under our very feet in
America. And while we want to
be optimistic, we need not prac-
tice a policy of lazy optimism.
It is while the man slept that
the enemy scattered the seeds of
the darnel. And the best footing
the modern darnel scatterer can
put himself today is in our schools
and pulpits. We expect honesty
and truth from those fountains.
But to distill deceit, hypocracy,
disloyalty, dissention under some
soothing words of a false idea of
brotherhood, is treachery en-
trenched.
The old doctrine of “bringing
up a child in the way it should
go” is as true today as was the
law of gravitation at that ancient
period of proverbs.
That’s why the enemy starts
with children. That’s wiry the
source: of information — the
newspaper, the schools, the
< hurches—are first attacked and
taken over by these brain-wash-
ers and power seekers.
9 Stand Up—Ee Counted
When we let our patriotism get
admixed with milky water, we
see no wrong in not saluting the
flag nor denouncing our allies.
Because some are not moved by
patriotism to do their patriotic
duty, we are strong for making
: ucli knees bow that won’t stand
for the things that hold us up.
If a person will not salute the
flag that guarantees such the
' right, liberty and pursuit of hap-
piness, then we should give such
treatment that would make them
feel the ingrates they are.
When a man lives in this coun-
try and enjoys its privileges and
blessings, spiritual and temporal,
tbit came at the price of blood-
shed, then there ought to be some
kind of life akin to that of Philip
Nolan handed out to him.
9 The Wont Raocality
To our way of thinking the
worst rascality of all is that
which takes the words of the
Christian and twists them to the
destruction of others. We mean
one who would quote things about
love, and then under the tongue
lies the deceit that would lead 9b

TOKYO—PFC Elmo H. Arm-
strong, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Benizam H. Armstrong, 223 W.
Bond st., Denison, recently was
graduated from the 40th Anti-
Aircraft Artillery Brigade Spec-
ialist School in Japan.
With twenty-five other enlisted
men from Armed Forces units in
Japan, Armstrong attended the
two-week unit supply specialist-
course.
A member of Headquarters
Battery of the brigade’s 138th
Group, he entered the Army in
March 1954 and received basic
training at Fort Bliss, Tex.

ed in a special ordination cere-
mony in the First Baptist church

They received the charge from J.
I. Gregory of Van Alstyne.

Press gives facts
as to changes by
Katy and Denison
Something like a year back, the
Press ran a story about certain
changes the Katy was to make in
connection with a retrenchment
program, which affected Den-
ison.
The story was several weeks in
advance of any other newspaper
n giving the reading public what
was going to take place. We did
not print all we had on the pro-
posed changes at the time, but we
lid give several weeks in advance
wlrat changes were to be made.
We can also say that the Press
had additional facts as to changes
proposed by the Katy which we
did not release at the time. We
can print, not rumored stories,
that the Katy, in its retrench-
ment steps, will soon move the
office clerks at Smithville to Den-
son nt a later date this year,
closing out most if not all, of the
force at that point.
The men to be brought here will
not displace any of the Denison
office force, it is understood.
Alson, thef act that Denison is en-
joying a favorable oil outlook,
. ome of the proposed changes in
the Katy will very likely be held
in abeyance, if not canceled.
According to facts released re-
cently, railroals are looking for
change in the rule book of oper-
ation of passenger equipment.
Six hundred and fifty million
dollars loss in 1954 and more in
’55 unless about 700 passenger
trains are eliminated is the pic-
ture today. Branch lines have
been dried up with several of
the larger railroads taking off
10 percent of their passenger ser-
vice, eliminating one and one-
l.alf million miles in annual pas-
. enger service.
New Fairview
board named at
council meeting
New Fairview-Maple Grove
cemetery hoard members were
nnounced at Tuesday afternoon's
council meeting. Harry Steele,
chairman for a number of years,
remains in that capacity and with
him on the board will be Vernon
Beckham, Louis Cavendar, Mrs.
Earl Waters and Mrs. Walter
Herdy.
Secretary Harold Schmitzer
submitted a bill for $12,602.58,
for Estimate No. 3 for the E. E.
Farrow Co., which was allowed
by the council. The E. E. Farrow
Co. is building the new water
main from Uandell to the city
limits.
A request from Dr. Oma Dye,
meters in front of her residence-
meters in front of he rresidence-
office, was turned over to the
traffic committee for action.
The traffic committee recom-
mended a stop sign at Chestnut
and Seullin which will be install-
ed following council action. Judge
Lynden Hagans, member of the
traffic committee suggested the
sign be placed to control north
ml south bound traffic on Scul-
lin.
Following investigation of the
Morton street and Juanita Drive
inter, estion traffic situation, the
traffic committe reported it un-
necessary to install a traffic sig-
nal at that point. The speed limit
■it, that point is 35 miles an hour,
Judge Hagans reported, and the
icc'deuts occurring on Morton
near this spot had no relation to
the intersection involved. The
matter was tabled until investi-
gation could be made by the
-late highway committee, on re-
ommendation of Mayor Glidden
who read a letter from the high-
ay committee advising that a
survey will be made at an early
late by T. M. Haygood.
The signal light at the inter-
section of Armstrong and Mor-
ton will be removed according to
action taken at the council meet-
ing. Stop signs will be placed
there before the opening of school
next fall. The corner is adjacent
to Central Ward elementary
school.

Summer school
has 85 students
registered to date
Regular schedule of work was
begun Tuesday morning in the
summer school held at Houston
building with Joe L. Dickson of
DHS acting as principal and in-
structor in mathematics.
Several children from Sherman
have registered for the summer
course, Dickson reported, but he
did not report the exact number
of students from that city. There
is no summer course being held
in Sherman it was reported. The
summer school gives the students
opportunity to make up work in
which they failed to pass or to
add additional credits in new
subjects.
Assisting Dickson in the sum-
mer school are Miss Ruth West,
English teacher, and O. W. Cline,
history teacher.

years, 28 of them in his capacity

Cravens was recommended for
the position by Chief Lowe who
described him as being “a good,
honest Christian boy, qualified in
every way to handle his job with
the department, and deserving of
the high esteem in which he is
held by other members of the de-
partment”.
Cravens has attended the Fire-
men’s Training School at Texas
A&M College on three different
occasions which has helped mater-
ially to qualify him for his pres-
ent obligation, Lowe said. He was
injured in a firetruck crash in
1942 Lowe said, and had a bad
knee on which he wears a brace.
The new fire chief and Mrs.

Price Daniel is
given credit for
some good work
The Fort Worth Press has the
following article with reference
to good work done in connection
with the Bricker amendment by
U.S. Senator Price Daniel:
Score the first victory in the
84th Congress for the Bricker
amendment. A senate judiciary
subcommittee has put its stamp
of approval on the measure to
submit to the states a constitu-
tional amendment safeguarding
American laws and rights against
being infringed upon or super-
seded by treaties or executive
agreements.
Sen. Price Daniel of Texas de-
serves much credit for the amend-
ment’s passing its first hurdle. He
voted with Sens. Dirksen and
Langer, Republicans to send the
bill to the full judiciary commit-
tee. Sens. Hennings and Kefau-
ver, Democrats, cast the “no”
votes. _
Thus the amendment once
again is off on its course through
Congress. To get it through won’t
be easy, despite the fact that most
nfoimed Americans favor it. L-ast
year the Bricker amendment lost
in the Senate, while the substitute
George amendment lacked only
one vote of passing by the nec-
essary two-thirds majority.
In’the face of the strong op-
position by President Eisenhower,
Secretary of State Dulles and the
“One World” element, the amend-
ment’s fate is uncertain this year
also. Americans who wish to take
no chances on treaties destroying
American rights, as the infamous
status of forces treaties have done
for our soldiers stationed abroad,
should write to their congress-
men urging its passage.
National Gas Co.
moves office to
larger quarters
Rapid expansion of business
and the resultant need for more
adequate space for operations,
has caused the National Gas
Equipment Company, located in
the former Jacques Power Saw
Plant on Highway 75, south of
the city, to move its offices
across the street into another of
the buildings belonging to the
firm.
The newly located office space
was remodeled and redecorated to
piovide a more suitable environ-
ment for the office personnel and
at the same time provide more
space for the manufacture and
assembling of the ModernAire
fans and coolers which they pro-
duce.
The National Gas Equipment
Company started business in Den-
ison in December 1954 and in the
few months since its establish-
ment has become of the more im-
portant industries in this area.
Charles Myers, vice president of
the firm is manager of the local
plant ami Bill Bonsall is office
manager.
Red Cross board

reports at meet
Reports of committee work
were heard at the meeting of
Grayson County Red Cross Chap-
ter board Tuesday afternoon at
the Grayson hotel in Sherman.
The new boat'4 chairman, W, E.
Wilcox of Denison, presided for

O. M. Akers of Denison, county
drive chairman, reported the final
figure on the recent financial
campaign at $25,911.22 raised.
This was approximately $800 in
excess of the goal.
The Grayson County Chapter
lias sent 51.6 of the budget to
national headquarters for use in
disaster work. It was pointed out
that the national association has
sent Grayson County approx-
imately $5,000 to be used for
tornado relief and maintaining the
canteen at Lake Texorna recently,
during the search for the two lost
Perrin fliers.
All committees were reported
functioning well. The new safety
program under chairmanship of
A. J. Saalfield Jr. of Sherman
was reported to be under way.

In what was a photo finish for
two customers seeking city water
service outside the city limits,
Mrs. Nellie Wayne and Cecil
Cook barely got under the wire
before the new ruling was adopt-
ed as to -erving city water to
customers outside the city limit.
When the resolution as asked
for by Councilman Clarence
Weideman was passed last week,
which cut off the practice of
servicing city water through the
city pipes to parties living outside
the city limits, it put an end to
long-time practice of the city.
Councilman Weideman made
the point in asking for the hesolu-
tlie point in asking for the resolu-
would tend to encourage parties
to hav. their property put inside
the city limits.
This would give them police,
1:it and other protection not now
available to those outside the
limits, in addition to getting the
water at half the cost now charged
to water users outside the city
limits.
At the Tuesday session of the
council just before the contract
was read which would tie in the
city water service with private
pipes of Mrs. Nellie Wayne and
Cecil Cook, City Engineer E. C.
Drumb reminded the council that
the agreement to serve the two
parties city water had been
reached before the resolution ask-
ed for by Councilman Weideman.
Mr. Drumb then presented the
two contracts to the council for
signing with Councilman Weide-
man moving, and Councilman
Lebrecht giving the second that
the contracts be signed.
