ROTARY CONVENTION

Willis f. Mills, delegate from the
Brownsville Rotary Club to the recent
international convention at Cleveland,
Ohio, reporting on the attendance at
Wednesdays luncheon, strongly urged
the Lower Rio Grande Valley clubs to
attend the next convention, at Denver.
Colo, next June with the idea of ad-
vertising the Valley.
THE mere selection Of unusual hat
bands caused the Florida, California
and Texas delegations to stand out
prominently at the Cleveland conven-
tion,'' Mr. Mills said. "Persons thought
Texas must have the largest delegation,
but the idea was carried to them be-
cause of the novel hatband used by the
delegation from Dallas"
Mr.. Mills said that Valley clubs
should begin now to arrange to attend
the Denver convention in large number.
DR.. F. S. ,Groner Of Dallas, secretary
of the executive board of the Baptist
General Conference of Texas, discussed
Baylor University, the great Baptist
school at Waco, and the Baptist church
undertakings in the Valley, including
the Valley Baptist Hospital at Harlin-
gen and Carroll College. the Baptist
school that is now in course of erection
at McAllen.
D. E. Colp of San Antonio, manager

will dovetail in with the interior pro-
hibition organization.

the customs service border patrol to
take care Of the new defense areas
He had on his desk reports from all
border collection officials, each giving
suggestions and recommendations for
meeting their particular problems.
Mr.. Andrews apparently is committed
to completely motorized border pa
troll system.
Treasury officials have estimated
that the government loses between $1O,-
0O0,000 and Sl5,00O,000 year through
smuggling and the plans under study
would be aimed to prevent the illegal
entry, not only of liquor, but Of many
articles of merchandise on which tar
iff duties are levied as we'll as the
smuggling of narcotics and aliens.
Long stretches of the American bor-
der now are unguarded because of the
slim number of customs agents who can
be assigned to the Dakota, Montana,
Idaho and Washington areas, as we'll as
Ion gthe Rio Grande and southern
California districts.
