SUNDAY ACCIDENTS TAKE HEAVY TOLL
IN OUR
VALLEY

LIE DIOWuSNille TduiO
= station, which has been dedicated to
the use of the entire Lower Rio Grande
Valley had wonderful debut Saturday
night
The program was we'll handled and
merited and received compliments from
all those who heard it. And among
\ those who heard it were folks at least
as far away as Parsons, Kans., as Ell
Paso, Texas, and, of course, all the
Valley radio fans. San Antonio was
quite enthusiastic about it.
The Valley station is of small moment
IN Washington's life, which was the
cause of a lot of activity on the part of
the splendid bunch of young gentlemen
who have had in hand the matter of in
stalling the station.
Even as late as o'clock Saturday
night they were still without the much
desired permit to throw the Brownsville
program on the air. Then came tele-
.ams from Secretary of CONNIE rec
Hoover and other officials authorizing
the test programs to go out
However, alls we'll that ends WELL ard
the program went on as scheduled, even
to the rattles from an eight foot rattle
snake that responded to a bit of rib
tickling on the part of Snake King.
Mission is the first town outside of
Brownsville to arrange program for
the radio, and Mission will broadcast
its own from. Brownsville Tuesday
night. In addition to that program, it
is hoped to add number by the Second
Garrison Band from Mexico City, which

play at Fort Brown early Tuesday night
And now it's station ."KWWG" in
stead of "WWG (Worlds Winter
Garden), due to the fact that no more
w" calls were available. However,
say the radio committeeman, "KWWG
is okay, for it can be heightened to
Kali Worlds Winter Garden"
1.-The Valley entertained most royalty
"A. the visiting advertising and Am
E~n Railroad Development Associa-
tion delegates.
We have it from the visitors them
selves that the Valley entertained them
royalty.
Universally, they approved of the
Lower Rio Grande Valley. They en-
ioyed their stay. And why repeat the
worlds they used. Visitors have so
often expressed their wonder on viewing
the development in the Valley that the
average Valley man knows exactly what
they are going to say before it's said.
A Texan in the partys told Herald
man that Brownsville shows more life,
mort activity. than any of the North
Texas cities of similar size.
..Whv Charc,ap TappIa uiIIShoro
Greenville, Denison-any Of those towns
look like sleepy villages compared to
Brownsville"
And. come to think of it. Brownsville
is usually busy looking place, isn't it
And So is San Benito. and Harlingen,
Mercedes and all the other Valley
towns. Valley folks are on the jSmp,
every day, all the time. They have to
be to keep up with the country.
More than five thousand people from
other points in the Valley, and between
the Valley and the larger cities. visited
Brownsville and Matamoros Sunday.
Over in Matam oros a bull fight had
been arranged, particularly IN antici-
patton of the coming Of the advertising
men most of whom probably had never
seen a bullfight
Hundreds of automobiles crossed the
Rio Grande. The movement over was
facilitated.
The same hundreds had TO return.
Last night it required from 45 minutes
to an hour to move a car across the
bridge.
Visitors chafed at the delay, of
course. But there were certain rules
and inspections which officials at the
bridge are required to enforce, required
by U. S. law, and it is to be noped that
the visitors do not blame the officers
who are uniformly courteous and con-
siderate.
The railroad bridge is too narrow to
accommodate two lines of traffic. And
probably there were not enough men
available to meet such a crush as de-
veloped last night.
Tonight and on other nights it will
not be so difficult.
