building. first morally and indu~triallv.
just a few day~ ago was talking To a
prominent Brownsville business man OF
conditions in this city. lie said hat until
recently he had given little attention to the
moral side Of things here. but with 4 fam
ily here. children growing up amid condi
tions not the best, he expressed the opinion
that a town with everything wide open j.
not the place in which To raise children To-
the best advantage. Formerly he was
apathetic. believing 4 wide open town 10 be-
the Invest and most active. Now he sees
things IN a different light and said he i,
going to work for the moral uplift of his
