Excerpt from American Planning and Civic Annual, 1946: A Record of Recent Civic Advance in the Fields of Planning, Parks, Housing, Neighborhood Improvement and Conservation of National Resources, Including the Address Delivered at the Citizens Conference on Planning, Held at Dallas, Texas There was one sad note at the Conference. Mr. George B. Dealey, who had taken such a deep interest in the program of the Conference, did not live to attend it. But the concrete results Of the planning which Mr. Dealey had promoted for half a century were everywhere in sight. Mr. Dealey and the Dallas News were inextricably bound up with planning in Dallas. It is encouraging to note that his surviving family and staff have pledged the News to carry on in the Dealey tradition. An interesting feature of the Conference was the presentation by Mayor Rodgers of the keys to the city to the visiting Mayors - nine in number. The Mayors also participated in an excellent radio program, which was heard by many members of the Conference following an evening session.
