Tree Dope From The
Civies at Camp Clifton
By Weldon Hill
One hundred and fifty-two men at
Camp Clifton have begun their second
stretch in the Civilian Conservation
Corps. On Sept. 30, the last' day of
the first enlistment, Camp Clifton had
one hundred and seventy-three men.
Of this number twenty did not accept
re-enrollment and one man was trans-
ferred to Camp E-66-T, Cleburne,
Texas. The Company strength is 200
men and it is likely that new mem-
bers will be received by the fifteenth
of this month.

Monday morning 'Old Man Winter’
paid his first visit this season to
Camp Clifton and was welcomed with
■open arms. The summer has been tre-
mendously warm and "Crimp” could
have come around a bit sooner than
.it did. Winter clothing has not been
issued but the clothing is expected to
he .in any time. Captain Hanna was
■ordered to Cleburne last Tuesday to
discuss the construction of winter
•quarters lor Camp Clifton. If Camp
Clifton is to be a winter camp (and
it is Jikely that it will be) five bar-
racks that will shelter forty men
•each and one barrack sheltering 12
men will be constructed.

Capt. C. W. Hanna, Company Com-
mander, delivered a brief talk on
"‘The Jkrmy of Occupation” at the
weekly camp meeting Wednesday
■evening. These meetings are becom-
ing more interesting each week and
the public in invited to attend them.
Next week Hr. Leslie Crockett, State
.Supervisor,, will be the speaker of the
evening.

Now for a few lines of personal
mews: It is rumored that this camp
will be moved soon, but Capt. Hanna
aqys he hasn’t given any orders to
pack up yet and he hopes that he
won’t have to give such an order—
The camp as a whole doesn’t want to
move, but you don’t get what you
want every time in the Regular
Army, much less the "Tree Army
Overseas caps have been issued to the
Enrollees at Camp Clifton. These may
be termed service caps against “Old
Man Depression”—Major Reinartz,
Medical Corps, Sub-District Surgeon,
visited the Camp last Wednesday—

Austin, September 26.—The first
called session of the 43rd Legislature
is sluggishly approaching its midway
mark. The first half htfs been spent
in consideration of methods and
means of accomplishing the results
desired by the Governor in her proc-
lamation assembling the called ses-
sion. Most of the labors have been
spent in committees in an effort to
determine how Texas may partici-
pate in the benefits derived from full
compliance with the federal code in
conformity with the National Recov-
ery Act without voiding the stringent
Anti-Trust Statutes.
The consensus of opinion is that
Texas should neither repeal, modify,
nor suspend these laws. At the time
of the convening of the session, it
was thought that a suspension or re-
cessing of the laws for a definite
period would accomplish the desired
results. Mature deliberations have
brought a firm conviction on the part
of many House members that once
suspended, the laws will be dead for-
ever. The argument is advanced that
when the law ceases to operate—
when suspended—these statutes could
not become effective again of their
own volition, for the reason that a
law cannot come into being unless
enacted by the Legislature.
In view of these arguments it may
be expected that the Legislature will
simply re-enact all the Anti-Trust
laws and add a provision to allow the
pleading of code compliance as a com
plete defense to prosecution under
the Anti-Trust Statutes.
The report of the State Rehabili
tation and Relief Commission has re-
sulted in little but investigation. It is
difficult to tell at this time whether
the charges against the Commission
are based on facts or the opinions of
disgruntled or disappointed appli
cants. Time alone can tell what will
actually be developed after the vari-
ous clues and statements have been
ferreted out and either proven un-
true or well founded. The opinion may
be expressed that 5 per cent or 6 per
cent might be reasonable for admin
istrative costs, but 9 per cent is too
high. Perhaps there is good reason
for excessive and uneconomical ex-
penditures of the Commission during
the month of August.
The Governor has indicated in mes-
sages this week that considerable lat-
itude will be given the Members in
the introduction of bills. This is indi-
cated by the fact that some twenty or
thirty new subjects have been sub-
mitted for legislative consideration
during the first two days of the week.
Many more subjects are clamoring
for consideration but as yet few local
bills have been allowed.
It is hoped and expected that this
session will, with all the haste pos-
sible in conformity with mature de-
liberation, pass needed laws and ad-
journ sine die.
FAMOUS GATES
We see gates every day—gates of
iron, leading into the driveways of
the rich; old, broken-down wooden
gates, swaying near unpainted fences;
gates perched perilously atop phone
poles at Hallowe’en time, when the
children become wild. It is strange
and hard to believe that at one time
the ancient gates leading into the cit-
ies were the centers of civic culture. ,.
The entrance through the enclos-
ing walls of a city or fortification
has been from the earliest times, a
place of the utmost importance, con-
sidered architecturally, socially or
from the point of view of the military
engineer. In the east the “gate” was.
and still is, in many Mohammedan
countries the central place of civic
life. Here was the seat of justice and
of audience, the most important mar-
ket place, the spot where men gath-
ered to receive and exchange news.
The gates into a walled town or
other fortified place were necessarily
in early times the chief points on
which the attack concentrated, and
the feature, common throughout the
ages, of flanking or surmounting
towers and of galleries over the en-
trance way, are found on many an-
cient gates still in existence.
With the coming of peaceful times
to a city or the removal of the fear
of a sudden attack, the gateways
would take a form more adapted for
ready exit and entrance than for de-
fense, though the possibility of de-
fending them was not forgotten. Such
city gates often had special openings
for entrance and exit, and again for
foot passengers and for vehicles. The
Gallo-Roman gate Autun has four
entrances, just wide enough to admit
carriages and two narrow alleys for
foot passengers.
In more modem times city gate
ways have often followed the type of
the Roman triumphal arch, with a
single opening and purely ornamental
superstructure. On the other hand,
the defensive gate formed by an
archway entering, as it were, through
a tower, has been constantly followed
as a type of entrance to buildings of
an entirely peaceful character.
One of the most striking examples
of an old gate in a modern setting is
to be found in America, in St. Aug-
ustine, Fla., America’s oldest city.
This gate is an entrance leading in
through the city wall. It is of simple
structure with no ornamentation. On
either side are two square towers
with a cupola atop a pyramid on each
one. The gate is old and crumbly, and
it is ludicrous to see a phone pole
and wires stretched across it and a
modern electric street lamp beside it.
Tam O’Shanter himself in his re-
nowned ride could have seen nothing
stranger than the old St. Augustine
gate in its modern setting. However,
the gate is sill a spot of great inter-
est, and many tourists are lured there
yearly.
Tam O’Shanter makes one think of
Ireland, and one of the most famous
gates ni the world is to be found in
Ireland. This gate is at Drogheda
Ireland, and. is known as “St. Lau-
rence’s Ancient City Gate.” On first
view the structure does not look like
a gate at all, rather it looks like a
fortress. There are two high towers,
with turrets for barricades atop each
one and an arch in the center joining
the rounded towers. The entry is
quite narrow and also arched. There
are small windows high on each tow-
er, and it would not seem strange in
the least to suddenly see the gate
become alive with armored men,
whose helmets and spears would
gleam among the old stones. And as
in Spain. This gate is the famous
Puerta Visagra city gate in Toledo,
Spain. The center of the gate is
greatly ornamented, while the two
round pillars on the sides look very
strong—and exceedingly medieval
and gloomy. The arch in the center is
of stone, very beautifully laid, and
from the top a strong sliding gate
is seen. Over the arch there is a
square of stone with a pyramid to
top it, and on the height of the pyra-
mid there is a large statue. On the
stone square there is a beautifully
carved large emblem that dates back
to the ninth century. On the lower
part of the pyramid there is a cross
and a crown. For all its beautiful con-
struction, the gate would lack a cer-
tain symmetry if it were not for the
fact that on the two pillars there are
also carvings, which balance the
elaborate carvings in the center of
the gate.
One historical gate that was truly
a meeting place for the world is the
celebrated Damascus gate in Jeru-
salem. This gate cannot be discon-
nected with Hebrew and Christian
history. The gate is large and difficult
to describe. The entry is small and
arched to a point, while atop the gate
there are numerous turrets and tow-
ers. The gate is old and crumbling,
and there seems to have been no ef-
forts made towards ornamenting it.
Despite the many towers of all shapes
and kinds, the gate has a certain
symmetry and balance. Though the
gate is very old, and seems to belong
to old people, it is still a meeting
place, the destination of many pil-
grims, and a spot for controversies
on the part of the peoples of thi3 age.
Another ancient gate, which, de-
spite its years, is still a meeting
place and the scene of the passing of
many foot travelers, is the west gate
of Seoul, Korea. This gate is of very
simple construction. The wall is
square and the entry is a simple arch.
Over the gate there is a tile struc-
ture that somewhat resembles an in-
verted hammock.
In the orient, gates are very elab-
orate and full of ornamentation.
Especially in China do we find a
good many gates. There is a sym-
bolic city gateway at Pekin, China,
that was erected in the memory of
someone’s beloved ancestor. Gates
similar to this are to be found in all
parts of China. This particular gate
is very beautiful. The carving on the
heavy stone is so elaborate and fine
that it gives the entire gate an ap-
pearance of lightness. The gate is
supported by four pillars. The entry
is not arched and is very large. Above
the entry there is an emblem, and be-
tween the stones that support- the
gate there is an almost mosaic effect
given by the beautiful and elaborate
carving.
It is a far step from the beautiful
gate in Pekin, China, back home.
Gates are no longer meeting places,
spots of civic culture. And the only
emblem we erect over gates now—if
we can call those wooden things tied
with wire leading into someone’s
yard gate— is “Keep out! Bad dog.”

EIGHT NEW LOCATIONS
APPROVED FOR CCC CAMPS
A picture to ahow replacement
crops for plowed under cotton acres
is expected to be presented at the
1933 State Fair of Texas in the agri
culture department, according to di-
rectors fat charge. Progress in farm-
ing since 1919 will be shown in the
agriculture department and the live-
stock department will emphasize the
importance of having utility stock on
the farms of the state in order to have
a balanced farm program.
Fifty acres has been set wide in
Golden Oats Fa*, San Francisco,

kinds of trees as posisble.
Fort Sam Houston, Texas, Sept. 30.
—Eight new work locations for tho
Civilian Conservation Corps in the
Texas District have been approved by
the Director of Emergency Conser-
vation Work at Washington, the Tex-
as District Commander, General C. R.
Howland, has been advised. The new
locations are in the following Texas
counties: Bell, Williamson, Bastrop,
Nacogdoches, Trinity, Walker, Liber-
ty, and Jasper.
Before work camps can be located
in these counties, it will be necessary
for a reconnaisance of each proposed
camp site to be made by an army
officer familiar with the requirements
of the C. C. C. camps. Such a recon-
naisance was completed last week at
Bastrop, and the remaining recon-
naissances will be made as rapidly as
possible.
It was also stated that the state
park camps at Blanco, Lampasas.
Hamilton, Stephenville, Mineral
Wells, Karnack, and Palacios would
not be continued. The Hamilton camp
has already been abandoned, and Co.
882 which was formerly stationed
there is now at Camp Bullis awaiting
assignment to one of the new loca-
tions. How soon after October 1st,
when the first enrollment period of
the C. C. C. is concluded, the other
six camps will be abandoned, was not
stated. Seventeen of the original 24
camps in the Texas District will be
maintained for the second six-months’
period beginning October 1. These
camps will be put into condition for
winter by the erection of wooden
barracks and the construction of a
comfortable recreation hall, infirm-
ary, and officers’ quarters in each
camp. All construction will be in
charge of the army officer command-
ing the camp. In the new camps, es-
sential construction will be completed
before C. C. C. enrollees are moved
to the camps.
Several C. C. C. companies that
have operated in Coolrado and Wy-
oming during the summer will be
moved to Texas in October and No-
vember, and additional approved lo-
cations for these companies are ex-
pected to be announced soon.

books of old loved just such settings
as the St. Laurence gate for them.
The fighting Irish have built a good
example of the fortress type of gate
in the St. Laurence gate.
Across the English channel there
is the gateway technically known as
the “City of London.” This gateway
is very simply constructed and
arched. The most conspicuous thing
about it is the fact that though it is a
very ancient gate, doors to keep the
enemy out are absent. The arch of
the gate is overgrown with mow
now, and the stone stop has new life
and color in the forms of bowers and
weeds that have grown there.;
One of the most unusual gates in
the world is in Europe. This gate is
a medieval gate in Luebeck, Germany.
It is not technically correct to cell it
a gate, as it is really a combination
of gate, ctiy hall and fortress. The
gateway itself is a very simple arch.
The structure Is rounded and there
are three main stories. On either side
is e high turret with a cupola
which there is a flag.
