Highest electric industry
honor won by TP&L Co.
for service to customers
LOS ANGELES—Texas Power
& Light Company Wednesday
night was named winner of the
electric industry’s highest honor,
the Charles A. Coffin Award for
1954, in ceremonies conducted at
the 23rd annual convention of
the Edison Electric Institute in
Los Angeles.
The awaid was presented to W.
W. Lynch, TP&L president, by
Phillip D. Reed, chairman of Gen-
eral Electric Company, donor.
The award is presented annually to
the electric utility company judg-
ed as malting the greatest con-
tribution to the advance of the
industry and service to customers.
TP&L Company is the first com-
pany in the Southwest to win this
award, which was established by
the General Electric Company 33
years ago in honor of its first
president.
In selecting the winner this
year, the judges cited Texas Pow-
er & Light Company ‘‘for extra-
ordinary enterprise and resource-
fulness in uncovering and devel-
oping the extent and value of un-
tapped natural resources . . . .
and for its contribution to the in-
dustrial and agricultural develop-
ment of Texas.”
The judges, this year, were
Harold Quint jn, president of Ed-
ison Electric Institute, Or. James
ii. Killian, Jr., president of Mas-
sachusetts Institute of Technol-
ogy, and C. W. Kellogg, past pres-
ident of Edison Electric Institute.
Important among the reasons
Texas Power & Light Company
won the award were its research
program of preparing and using
lignite in power plant boilers,
pointing toward the development
of a low-cost fuel for production
of electric power, and the use of
this natural resource for the fur-
ther industrialization of the
TP&L service area.
After some thirteen years of
experience using lignite as a fuel
tor its Trinidad generating sta-
tion prior to 1940, the Company,
in 1948, began an extensive re-
search program, working with the
U.S. Bureau of Mines, to deter-
mine how Texas lignite could be
Used more effectively as fuel.
The results obtained in this
program were largely responsible
for the location in Rockdale, Tex-
as, of the Aluminum Company of
America's new smelting plant.
In the citation by the Coffin
Award judges, TP&L’s lignite in-
vestigations are commended as
‘‘nationally recognized to be of
benefit to the industry and the
public by opening up the potent-
ialities for economic exploitation
of the nation’s vast and largely
undeveloped deposits of lignite
and other low rank, non-coking
fuels.”
TP&L’s contribution to both in-
dustrial and agricultural develop-
ment ol' Texas were mentioned in
the Coffin Award citation. The
utility company’s research into
such other resources as clay and
iron ore and its economic prog,
rum of attracting new industries
to the “Texas Bright Spot,” as the
Company terms its service area,
have resulted in the establishment
of many new plants.
In the agricultural field, the
Company is carrying on an ex-
panded farm service program,
with specialists in the field in
direct contact with the farmer and
his problems. Research on prac-
tical and economical application
oi electricity to farm operations
is included among projects being
carried on in cooperation with ed-
ucational institutions and other
established farm agencies.
The selection of the annual
winner of the Charles A. Coffin
Award begins with nominations
by a panel of 35 persons, repre-
senting every section of the na-
tion, who select those companies
whose achievements during the
past year are regarded by* them
to have been outstanding. Next, a
review committee compiles and
analyzes the information about
the companies (this year number-
ing 28) cited by the nominating
panel. From this group, the re-
view committee selects the four
oi1 five they consider outstanding,
which are invited to submit to the
judges their respective presenta-
tions in competition for the
award. Four companies were so
cited this year. They were: Ariz-
ona Public Service Company,
Cleveland Electric Illuminating
Company, Pennsylvania Power &
Light Company, and Texas Power
& Light Company,

■Y THE EDITOR
Mu.ing. of > Father
This coulmn writing father is
feeling in the frame of mind to-
day to count
some blessings
as a father.
Father’s day
comes the third
Sunday in June
and rather than
jeount any gifts
in the way of a
tic, sox or over
size shirt, let me
muse si bit. 1
am tilin’ ing in terms this week
of what the Denison Press ha;
meant to me and my family. Also
it happens to be the month in
which the paper was started, now
Uitiing into volume 27.
We started the printing bit-
iness at the urge of my eldest
son who wanted to come “back
to Texas and live in our home
and teach us the printing trade.”
About that time, 1918, we had an
opportunity to come back home, all
traveling and shipping costs paid.
We found the home at 926 West
Sears in debt somehow to the sum
ol $1,800. We left it out of debt
in 1907. We had nine children at
home, all save one still in school.
We borrowed $100 on an old Ford
and after seven visits to the bank-
er got another hundred. We were
in business in a little while.
To make it short, we first ami
last had four boys and two girls
working at the job of turning out
printing. Then we took on a pub-
lication, the Denison Press. We
were supposed to have been out
of the newspaper business in
three months and competition did
its darndest to make the prophecy
come true. But they fell in their
own pit. We remain the only
newspaper in the county that has
not changed editors from two to
_Jx times; the only newspaper in
the county that has not changed
hands; and the only newspaper
that has not borrowed money the
second time in the course of its
26 years of existence.
• But Our Main Joy
Such matters as mentioned
above are tawdry compared to
what the Press has meant to this
father. It has been the means of
giving, first of all to my 9 chil-
dren, college education or spec-
ial training in some field which
equipped them for making a livli-
hood.
The four sons have been given
a finished training in the news-
paper business and they have all
been given the advantage of ad-
vanced education in addition to
having a trade mastered which as-
sures them a job at. a living in-
come. The four sons have their
cwn homes, and they have pre-
sented their father with five
grandsons. My sons /have never
once given their father any un-
easiness or concern as to their
remaining upright, honest, sober
nd God-fearing men. All of them
are my pals and we work to-
geth ir as business men in the of-
fice and play games together in
our homes.
What more would a man want
jn F'ather’s Day? They are my
crown for my Father’s Day and
no gifts of a material kind can
match such a contribution to my
soul.
As to the five daughters, they
were given the same educational
advantages and all have happy
homes and they have given their
father grandchildren totaling
some twenty-four. And we might
add, some nine great-grandchild
ren-—their own sons and daugh
ters. They are all married to fine
men and have their own homes
and no bad news has ever come
to my ears from their families.
Their husbands provide homes for
their families and all own their
c wn property.
What man could ask for a
Father’s Day gift any more than
this writer can claim?
And as I view from this stance
how we have been through the

HISTORIC NEWS FOR LABOR'S RELATIONS—Intense Interest o( all labor is mirrored by the
faces of these Ford production workers at Ford’s River Rouge, Mich., plant as they read of the
precedent-setting three-year Ford-United Auto Workers (CIO) contract, which brings a guaranteed
annual wage for hourly paid employes in the auto industry a big step closer to realization. 'The
new contract guarantees supplemental wage payments of over 60 per cent of normal take-home
pay, for as long as 26 weeks, in case of lay-offs. Payments will be figured to make up the differ-
snee between unemployment benefits and the 60 ner cent-plus figure and will come from 8 55-
million-dollar fund, yet to be set up. Plan goes into effect June 1, 1956, when fund will have reach

High honors to
T.P.&L. Co. for
engineering feat
Special attention is called
this week to the story of how
the Texas Power and Light
Company won honors over all
others in the national contest
conducted by the electricity
industry.
The award is for services
to their customers and is for
developing low-cost fuel for
production of electrical power.
The Texas Power and Light
Co. is the first company in the
Southwest to win this award.
It represents 13 years of ex-
perience by the company. The
achievement is using Texas lig-
nite as a fuel for its Trinidad
generating station.

Council deals
blow against
parking practice
The city council dealt a death
blow at the meeting Tuesday
when a ruling was passed which
will clear Main street of the prac-
tice of all-night parking of cars.
The habit has become a menace
to street cleaning, which work is
done at night. Several cars, it
was reported, have been left all
night on Main street, and this
was ordered stopped.
A less heroic treatment was
given the case where parking
places for taxis at the Union de-
pot was involved. Mayor Harry
Glidden stated, when Conunission-
ei Weideman brought up the
point, that he favored the idea.
The mayor stated that he believ-
ed the traveling public should be
considered and special stalls for
parking taxi cab cars near the
depot so patrons of the trains
could be served should be pro-
vided. Two parking stalls for
taxis were ordered.
The council adopted both of
the suggestions made by Commis-
sioner Weideman.
Fire protection
assured new area
on Washington St.
Although the city recently
passed a resolution which ended
fire protection to those parties
outside city limits, a special case
was made Tuesday by the city
council.
Mayor Glidden referred to a
petition signed by every property
owner in the north side of the
700 block W. Washington asking
admission into the city.
The petition was underway
The newest industry for Den-
ison, the Arthur J. Gavrin Press,
Inc., was formally introduced to
Denison last Saturday when the
spacious plant was the scene of
hundreds who came to wish the
new company a successful future.
The plant for which the ground
was broken in September, 1954
has been rushed to its completion
without any labor trouble or other
impediment that often retards an
industry wishing to get under way'
at the earliest.
Mr. Gavrin and his wife were
in Denison at the time the ground
was first broken for the plant,
located on highway 75A some two
miles north of the city. Mrs. Gav-
rin was at the formal opening
Saturday and cut the ribbon be-
fore the doors were swung open
for the guests.
The reception hours were from
1:30 to 5:00 p.m. and local of-
ficers and others of the Gavrin
plant freftn New Rochelle, N.Y.
were on hand for the festivities.
The main offices were made at-
tractive by flowers from friends
of the concern, refreshments were
served the guests. A booklet done
in the home office told the story
of the two plants, and carried
views of the offices and staff
workers as well as the mechanical
department.
The plant, which features a
special type of snap-easy products
for business firms, was in full
operation and guests saw the pro-
ducts for customers from many
states being turned out here in
Denison.
Mr. Gavrin was assisted by his
wife and son David in making the
visitors welcome. Guests lingered
for visiting with the force per-
sonnel while punch and a variety
of cakes were served.
101-Day period to
cheek accidents
set June 14-July 4
An effort is being made on a
nation-wide scale to prevent traf-
fic accidents for a 101 day pei-
icd, stalling on Memorial Dayt
and going through Labor Day.
This safety program is
known as “Slow Down and Live”.
The program originated in 1953
in the New England states, and
in 1954 was carried out in 24 j
states, resulting in the saving of
over 600 lives. As a result, the
Governor’s Conference requested
the program nation-wide for
1955.
This program has a potential
of doing tremendous good in sav-
ing lives, but must have local
support from local governments,
civic clubs, churches, radio sta-
tions, television stations, news-
papers, schools, etc. The Dallas
District of the Texas Highway
Patrol will cooperate with all
agencies to the utmost of its abil-
ity in making this program a
success in the North Texas Area.
The importance of making the
“Slow Down and Live” program a
success can be seen from the fol-
lowing facts relative to the “Hur-
ry Up” violations of speeding,
driving too fast for conditions,
improper passing, failure to yield
right of way, and following too
closely.
In Texas in
A new city ordinance bringing
additional territory within the
fire zone was given its final read-
ing at Tuesday's council meeting.
The ordinance involves Austin
Avenue from the southern ex-
tremity to the city limits on the
north, and includes 140 feet east
and west from the center of the
avenue.
This new ordinance prohibits
the construction of any new
buildings on Austin avenue of any
material except fireproof mater-
ial. Owners of buildings and
homes on the avenue will be re-
quired to keep their property in
good condition, and in the event
of fire, or dismantling, only fire
proof construction will be allowed
in the re-building.
The zoning commission report-
ed to the council their approval
ot rezoning 212 W. Hanna and
126 W. Sears into the retail dis-
trict, and recommended that Aus-
tin avenue be rezoned to be in-
cluded in the retail district.
The council voted to advertise
for a public hearing in regard to
the zoning commission’s recom-
mendations.
The city accepted the bid of
Mi-Co-Meter Sales Company for
twelve parking meters which will
cost $1,068, oi’ $89 each.
The traffic committee recom-
mended two parking meters at
the north east corner of Craw-
ford and Fannin, in front of Dr.
Oma Dye’s office, following a re-
quest presented to the council
last week.
Following a recommendation
from City Engineer E. C. Drumb
that the price of alley paving be
raised to 70 cents per square
yard, or 10 cents more than for
■street paving, Mayor Glidden in-
structed the city attorney to
draw up the necessary papers to
I put this into effect.
A request from the Denison
Transit Company for a bus stop
at 330 N. 8th, was granted. This
request was approved by the Den-
ison Housing Authority executive
who said that patrons waiting for
the bus might stand on the porch
of the Housing office in inclem-
ent weather.
Permission given
to use 2 stalls
on Main at Burnett
The city council Tuesday grant-
ed permission for the use of two
stalls in the 300 block Main in
front of the Newberry store. The
request was made by J. H. Rog-
ers of the Emerson Electric Con-
struction company.
The hour of the display will
be from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thurs-
day, June 23.
The display of merchandise of
the Emerson ’company will be for
the benefit of those interested in
electric construction line.

Rouge, La., and failed to meet
his deadline. He left nine days
ago and isn’t back yet. A guard
who went with “Big George” and
lost track of him was fired.
