i'm OUR
VALLEY

UP IN CONNECTICUT q man was
fined IS because his truck carried no
winishield wiper.
The Officers who went SO far as
70 arrest a man for that offense
could be kept mighty busy down
here in the Lower Rio Grande VAL
ley.
A windshield wiper is q mighty
minor matter down here. There's
codles OF cars without tail lights.
More oodles Of them with q single
headlight.
And the way they disregard that
law about headlights is a thing
that's worrying out officers nightly
and they're going after the mis-
ereants."
However, about that Connecticut
mar, his truck. had no windshield.
Therefore it is not to be wondered
at that ne had no windshield wiper.
The judge in the case looked up
the law. The law said all trucks
must carry windshield wipers. The
fact that this particular truck had
no windshield TO wipe didn't lessen
the crime.
Going to prove. Of course, that
Texas. maligned Texas, is not the
only state with funny laws.

THE PLAN OF THE American
Legion. San Benito. for a get-to-
gether frequently that newcomers
may meet the folks of the town and
thus become acquainted quickly. is
one Of deserving Of commendation.
