Observing building codes
It developed at the city council meeting last Tuesday that
several men here were working cs electricians and contractors
without the required license and bonds.
When homes are being built care should be taken by the
man paying the bills that such houses meet the building codes
of this city. Building codes are for the protection of the citizens.
Such codes are drawn up by men who know their particular line,
whether it be electrical, plumbing or other phases of the build-
ing trade.
To fail in meeting such standards for building, means a
hazard that might involve human life, fire loss and other dam-
age. The old adage "caveat emptor” is something every buyer
should observe. Not to do so may bring a day of regret.
One thing a prospecrive Guilder of a home will learn, if
making a proper check of the building code of his city, will be
that certain specifications are required by such code. It indi-
cates what a plumber, electrician, carpenter, or other workman
must put into the house he is to build and what kind of stan-
dards he as a workman must meet before he can do the job.
If it is a fact that Denison has several men working at the
building trade who have not secured licenses, posted bond to
work at the building trade, or met other demands of the city
building code, the city is right in taking steps at enforcing the
law as applied to such workmen.
A man who can meet the test required by the city building
code ought to be willing to do so. Those who are otherwise
should not be permitted to contract. The city officials are to
be commended in taking the proper steps to enforce the city's
building code.
Arthur Godfrey's experience with the Civil Aeronautics
Society in ' buzzing" a certain aerial tower at Teeterborough,
is said to have given rise to an expression of an autoist when
charged with speeding that may become generally current. The
speeder, asked if he was guilty or not guilty of the charge of
speeding, replied that he "just 'buzzed' the street curbing."
The saying "every man for himself and the devil take the
hindmost," is fallacious and misleading. The truth is the devil
is not so much interested in the rear guard as he is in the front
rank. A man does not go all out for himself and the place in
the front over the remains of others unless the devil already has
him. Remember the man who said "The public be damned."

Greenville is having a series of arrests for "possession of
liquor for purpose of sale and the court is sticking the fines to
the guilty ones in terms of hundreds of dollars. Jail sentences
are given repeat cases. That is as it should be. As long as a
bootlegger is fined $100 he is not worried. He can make that
up in a day or so and then ply his trade for several days with
a lot of velvet to show for the operation. A man in jail can
hardly be able to operate a bootlegging trade. If the "law is
a terror to the evil doer" a tap on the wrist will not send much
terror to the habitual law violator, especially in cases of DWI
or bootlegging.
The proposed increase in salaries for employees of the
county is commendable. Although the raise is approximately
only $20,000 per year overall, and ranges from $15 to $25 per
month, it will be a lift for those who have been struggling so
many years to make a static salary meet the demands of an
actively rising cost of living.
Here's an idea about cigaret slogans as reprinted by Ben-
nie O'Brien of the Celina Record: The clipping is from the
Kingsville Record and reads, “Lose a lung with Luckies." "Cave
your chest with Chesterfields." "Catch cancer with Camels,
"Go to Hall with Pall Mall." _

the victory by Johnson and a re-
count of the ballots cast. It has
been stated the winning votes oc-
curred down in So. Texas, where
George Pharr is the acknowledged
political boss. There are many
people in Texas today that still
believe that the election was il-
legal and that Stevenson should
have been nominated. But the
contested votes were allowed to
stand and Johnson declared the
ultimate winner. Stevenson has
been out of politics since that
time and has declared that he is
through with politics from now
on. The Stevensons will live on
o ranch owned by Stevenson near
Telegraph, in South Texas.
The Lamar County Echo might
have gone farther and truthfully
said that there is plenty of power
left in this “war horse.” Many
friends over the state remember
his fine record in politics and re-
gret that he did not enter the)
senate race again for another
contest. He would make the
state one of the best Senators
possible, just as he made a great
servant of the people as repre-
sentative and finally the govern-
cr of Texas.

WAR HORSE
(Paris Echo)
That old political war horse,
Ex-Governor Coke Stevenson, was
married Saturday at Junction,
Ttxai, to Mrs. Marguerite King
Hup, district and county dark
of Junction. The wedding was a
quiet affair, with no attendants.
Coke Stevenson has been a
stormy petrel in Texas politics
foi many years, his last political
encounter being for the United
States senate, at which he was
defeated by Lyndon Johnson by
. total of 85 votes. This fact
brought forth a stormy fight over

The following article is another
in a series of articles published
for the benefit of homemakers in
the event of an atomic attack.
The Federal Civil Defense admin-
istration suggests the care and
pieservation of foods nad proper
handling during an attack.
The nation’s homemakers have
hecn reassured by the Federal
Civil Defense Administration that
canned and packaged foods in
their cupboards during an atomic
attack would be safe to eat pro-
vided the containers are not
punctured or broken by the A-
blast.
In a booklet on emergency
home sanitation just released, the
FCDA points out that most radi-
ation which is destructive to liv-
ing tissue is not damaging to most
ether materials, including pack-
aged food.
However, it would be well to
wipe or wash carefully any can,
bottle or other containers—or
any covered dish—that had been
exposed to radioactive mist or
xlust. Tiny particles of “bomb
ash” often are to be found in such
mists or dusts. These particles
are still radioactive and can make
you sick if enough of them get
inside your body. Redioactive
dust on cooking or eating uten-
sils is another problem. Such
dust cannot be made harmless by
toiling or by use of soap and
water. The particles can be
washed or wiped away, but that
does not render them harmless.
They are still “hot" and will re-
main on the cleaning cloth or the
washing water.
That is why you should use sep-
arate tubs or pails for washing
yourself, your clothes and your|
cooking utensils after an A-bomb ;
blast. Empty and rinse such tubs
or pails outside the house. Avoid j
any kind of handling that might'
allow such particles to reach the
mouth.
After an attack you should not
drink water that has been exposed
tc the open air until your civil
defense officials announce that it
is safe. Water from closed con-
tainers will be all right. Water
stored in open tubs or buckets
may not be. The same thing ap- I
plies to food that may have been i
left out in the open. Food that
has been stored in closed cup-
boards or in your refrigerator:
should be safe to eat after an at-
tack. Food that has had no pro-1
tection may not be.
You should not hoard large j
quantities of food under any cir- !
Denison as recommended by the j
zoning commission by changing j
the zoning and classification of j
the following described tract, or j
tracts, of land, to-wit:
Tract No. 1—Lots 19 and 20,
Block 10, Perry’s First Addition
to the City of Denison located
at 733-35 and 737-39 East

cation “local retail district.”
Tract No. 2—Lots 9, 10, and
11, Block 8, Day and Munson
Addition to the City of Denison,
located respectively at 729-31,
725-727, and 721-23 West

fication “local retail district.”

eBmaUncM. That would b« both
wasteful and foolish. You should
keep on hand at all times a nor-
mal three-day supply, but the
chances are that you already have
that much on hand. Check to see.
If not, buy now the additional
food you might need.
Your food supply should con-
sist of foods that normally fit the
food habits of your family. For
example, children, the ill and the
aged need milk and other foods
that are easily digested. Larger
supplies of canned fruits and veg-
etables should be substituted for
fresh foods that will spoil quickly
in the event of refrigerator fail-
ure. Powdered, condensed or ev-
aportated milk may be substituted
for fresh milk, and so on.
You should include some foods
which do -not need refrigeration
and which can be eaten without
cooking if necessary. The reason
for this is that your gas or elec-
tricity might be cut off as the re-
sult of enemy attack. If your re-
frigerator were not working, it
would be hard for you to keep
perishable foods in good condition
through an emergency period. It
would also be hard to prepare
meals if your stove be out of or-
der.
