that might not be financially able
to pay the three dollars now, to
come anyway and lend their moral
support to the work, "for after all
it is numbers and not finances that
count in the work of the Legion at

Angus Robertson spoke on the
recent organization of the "De-
Lousing Club," which has for its
primary object the raising of funds
from within the Legion for ex-
penses and to discourage; the prac-
tice of always asking the business
interests of the city for contribu-
tions. It was the DeLousing Club
that furnished the finances for the
Friday evening meeting.
Anion Arnold and Paul Grable

Interesting talks during the

Dr. R. R. Norwood, president of
the Chamber of Commerce, presid-

The Chamber had accepted the
invitation two weeks ago to visit
Sturdivant and present a program.
Those making the trip in addition
to Dr. Norwood were R. W. Mc-
Leod, M. C. Fearis, Misses Millie
Fearis and Carrie Jo Fleming.
The local program consisted of
songs by Miss Fearis, readings by
Miss Fleming and a talk by Dr.
Norwood on "Consumption of Home
Raised Products."
The Sturdivant program was
presented principally by Sturdi-
vant School children in the form of
a Pantomine, songs, illustrated
songs and readings. The school
also put on a Declamation elimina-
tion contest for Seventh Grade De-
claimers who are preparing for the

Mr. West of forming practically a
continuous body of water upstream
from Inspiration Point through
Palo Pinto County.
2. Proposed Water Projects.
Mr. West proposed:
A 90 foot dam providing 300,000
acre-feet storage capacity at In-
spiration Point.
A 45 foot dam providing 30,000
acre-feet storage capacity at Lit-
tle Keechi.
A 125 foot dam providing 757,-
000 acre-feet storage capacity at
Possum Kingdom.
Herein It Is Proposed:
1st Dam: A 60 foot dam pro-
viding approximately 150,000 to
200,000 acre-feet storage capacity
at Inspiration Point.
2nd Dam: An 85 to 90 foot dam
providing 400,000 to 450,000 acre-
feet storage capacity at Batchelor
Ranch Site, about two miles up-
stream from the Brazos bridge on
State Highway No. 1.
3rd Dam: A dam one-half mile
above Hell's Gate, in the western
part of the County about seven
miles upstream from Mr. West's
Possum Kingdom site, the height
of this dam to remain unknown
until the storage capacity require-
ments, according to needs further
upstream, can be determined.
In Palo Pinto County it is pro-
posed to build the Batchelor Ranch
dam first in order that a very de-
sirable State Park can be formed
surrounding the lake thus created.
The Inspiration Point dam could
be next built, waiting then for the
Hell's Gate dam until the require-
ments can be determined as stat-
ed.
An alternate site for this Park
dam would be above the mouth of
Turkey Creek, but a glance at the
accompanying map will show that
many oft the desirable park fea-
tures would thus be eliminated, for
instance: The island in the Tur-
key Creek basin and the close prox-
imity of one prong of the lake to
the paved State Highway No. 1.
3. Park Sites:
A study of a land ownership map,
showing boundary lines, together
with a study of the U. S. Geologi-
cal Survey maps has been made
and about 24,000 acres, exclusive
of the old river channel, has been
proposed in the main tract for park
purposes including lake surface.
About 80 to 85 per cent of this or
19,000 to 20,000 acres is estimated
to be the dry land which will be
available for the park itself.
The U. S. Topographic maps
show in detail the ragged character

A Good Way to Judge
a funeral director is by the number of
years he has been practicing his pro-
fession. Only years of actual, practical
experience can teach a fujieral director
all the finer points of his profession, and
equip him to render the type of service

In the light of 'these facts, it is in-
teresting to note that the Beetham or-

wonderful limestone cliffs, father-
ing many Indian legends, on the
upper limits of the proposed lake
which awe the sight see'r with
their marvelous coloring, sheer
height and sharp cutline. It is hop-
ed that the entire shore line of
the proposed lake be officially des-
ignated as d State Park, even
though access is had only by boat
to the upper limits. It is calcula-
ted that the channel at Hell's Gate
will be a minimum of five feet in
depth, thus providing passage for
small pleasure boats. The 'Gate'
is one of the results of erosion of
a massiv'e limestone escarment, be-
ing a solid block of stone rising
and habitation, and this height is
also not recommended for the same
reasons as stated above.
The ultimate height for a dam
at the Hell's Gate site is about 125
feet, but -this is not recommended
for the reason that much valuable
oil and gas territory further up-
stream wold be rendered unfit for
development. About 50 to 75 feet,
in the opinion of the writer, should
be the limits for a dam at that
point.
