The Red Cross Roll Call

Brownsville Wednesday, Nov. 10 and the citizens Of
this city. who have never failed to make UP in full all
Red Cross quotas and memberships, will have the OPP
~portunity TO renew their membership in this organiza-
tion.
Membership in the Red Cross is both . duty and .
privilege. II is obviously the duty Of every American
70 Aid those in distress. and II is . privilege 70 have
memxership in m organization which performs such
works of charity as the American Red Cross has 20 its
credit.
From the years immediately preceding the World
war down "a the present the American Red Cross has
been accorded the position 81 highest eminence among
the relief organizations Of the world. No task has been
too great. During the world struggle its ministrations
"a the troops Of all nations and the great work Il ac-
romplished in behalf Of humanity won the admiration
Of the civilized world. Time and again IL has been call
A men 70 relieve distress. The Japanese earthquake,
when the Red Cross was called upon 70 care for hun
dreds Of thousands; the great Mississippi flood last
snrinr in which the Red Cross was designated by Presi-
dent coolidge Is the national relief agency; the Miami
hurricane. which left thousands Of people destitute
and in the care Of the Red Cross. are some OF the out
standing disasters Of recent years which demanded q
highly organised relief agency 70 care for the situa-
tion.
what the Red Cross has accomplished is a mat
tar OF history. There are countless thousands Of peo-
NE IN thc United States. as well D. in other countries.
who have been the bcneficiaries Of this great relief or
ranixation and who have received aid At times when
they were III dire need. The service il has performed
FOR humanity. the lives Il has saved; the suffering u
has relieved. have made the Red Cross an Institution
il Is = duty to support and in which il is a privilege
20 held membership.
The drive Cor memberships in Brownsville should
be brief and conclusive. Every Brownsville citizen
should be enrolled as q member. The fact should be
borne in mind that the major part az each member
rhip Zee will be exrended here in Brownsville, and
tsat the remainder viii so into the national reserve
fund from which the organization draws in times Of
rrest disasters which demand greater expenditures
than the affected areas can themselves finance.

Two Important Events

Two Of the most important events in the history
Of South Texas occurred in Brownsville Monday when
the Southern Pacific Lines formally opened the ex-
tension from Harlingen 70 Brownsville and the first
annual convention Of the South Texas Chamber Of
Commerce convened. Both will have considerable in
fIuence upon the future Of all South Texas. and both
will unquestionably prove important factors in promot-
ing development OF this region.
A coincidence in connection with the opening Of
the Southern Pacific line is the fact that the work train
completed the lire into Brownsville On October p,
just one year to a day after the application for permit
70 guild thu extension was filed with the Interstate
Commerce Commission. For months the Valley was
held in suspense. and when the announcement was made
on June IS that the permit had been granted Browns
Vile staged a celebration that was eclipsed only BY that
Of the formal opening.
The celebration Monday was more than a mere eele-
bration Of the completion Of the Harlirgen-B Brownsville
extension. IL was a celebration marking the material
Ization OF a vision which had its inception twenty
seven years ago when the charter Of the San Antonio
& Arkansas Pass railroad was amended to permit the
extension Of the line from Alice to Brownsville. Fail
ue to build the line At that time was not the fault
Of the Southern Pacific. When the Interstate Com
merce Commission granted the Southern Pacific a per-
nit to take over the S. "A. & A.. p. in 1926, one OF the
first acts Of the Southern Pacific was 70 file an ap-
p~lieation for a permit 70 extend to the Rio Grande.
The completion Of the line 70 Brownsville is the final
achievement OF tweDty-sevcn years Of effort, and the
celebration held Monday marks the final connection OF
this great railroad system with the Rio Grande at the
most southerly city on the mainland Of the United
States.
Monday, November il. 1927. will go down in the
history Of South Texas as the day upon which a new
era was inaugurated. an era in which regional coopera-
ton through the South Texas Chamber OF Commerce and
the more extensive transportation facilities through
the Southern Pacific will play an important part.
Bound by the ties Of cooperation and with rail IA
ciIities which reach into every section. the speed Of
South Texas toward the goal Of greater development
and prosperity will be accelerated as never before.
These two organizations, new acquisitions for South
Texas, VIII WELD great power in the future in promot-
ing and directing development through the entire re-
sion they serve, and their benefit 20 this region will
be in direct ratio to the cooperation that i extended by
the communities and individuals.

The month Of October brought nothing 70 light
calculated to disturb confidence N the business outlook,
according "a the monthly business survey Of the Ma
s;or.i CITY Bank Of New York. The survey indicated
that industry is quieter than at this time last year, and
shnt the current quarter may not be as satisfactory
i. the final quarter Of 1925. However, there Is no
likelihood Of a decline Of sufficient magnitude 70 seri-
ouslv threaten the good record thus far established for
1927.
