Joseph Chandler
Given High Post
Joseph Chandler, local attor- |
ney and member of one of the
pioneer families of Erath Coun-
ty, received formal notice Fri-
day from Governor John B.
Connally that he had been
named a member of the Texas
Commission on Higher Educa-
tion. Mr. Chandler told a ne ws-

would accept the post. The com-
mission is the highest agency
that deals with state colleges

cation.

ler will be seated at the next

day afternoon. “Undoubtedly
this is a place where any man
or woman ran render valuable
service to the program of high-
er education in Texas." he con-
tinued.

Walter llamilon, pioneer Dublin

The record of.Walter Hamilton
reads almost like a fairy tale.
He has performed in so many
ways that it would be difficult
to itemize all of them in one news
story. I’erhapi one of the most
trying experiences he ever had
was during the days of the de-
pression when he served as a
member of the Erath County Re-
lief Board. It was his responsi-
bility to assist in every way to
render aid To*‘those in need in
the western part of the county.
As a merchant, a churchman,
liayker, city officials, school
trustee and almost every other
manner of public se»y1ce_.Waltcr

and his nation. Some

on was no exception. In the fall
of lit 16 over lf>00 students were
enrolled.
In the student body were young-
sters barely 17 and men 115 to 40
with two and three children.
Members of the class who will
have a reception at the Tejas
Country Club Saturday night at
7:30 will have many old stories to
retell.
The members of the post war
class will also find many changes
on the Tarleton Campus. Gone are
one of three trailer camps which
housed many veterans, their wives
and families. The parks were
located in Humawell Park and
just west of the campus near what
is now the stadium parking lot.
The latter in 1946-47-48 was out
in the country so to speak with
only scrub oaks and briars sur-
rounding them.
Also gone is Mary Corn Wilker-
son dormitory where many a bud-
ding romance was started. All
dates cminated from the lobby of
the dorm which housed the
offices.
Also on the campus is two new
men’s dorms which were once part
of the old drill•*field. Add a new
libarary and agriculture building,
tear down some old wooden build-
ings and the campus is about the
same.
Ohio Company
To Fix Clock
At Courthouse
Work will begin Friday* on
the Courthouse clock which was
put out of commission during
an electrical storm last month.
The Tower Clock Company of
Springfield, Ohio will do ' the
repairs and will put the clock
back in a “like new” condition.
The faces will be painted and
new hands added where needed.
Judge Lanelle Harbin said
that the clock would be out'of
order for approximately ten
days and that the work being
bo a hard task to i „ done by the Ohio company will
idividual anywhere
ed a greater pub-
lic service* than Walter Hamilton.
His devoted wife, the former
Miss Annie B. Oats, has been
closely associated with her tal-
on’od husband all thru the years
■ f his ""adult life.
Much could be said about the
man's public service, said one
local official Friday. The let-
i tor from soil conservation em-
iji’nasizos in some fashion the de-
! gree of respect that has been
I given the man in all sections of
