ployees.
Congressman Isaac Bacharach is
chairman of the subcommittee Of the
ways and means committee, which
will make the investigation.
Their present schedule calls for
hearings at Washington, New York,
Philadelphia and New Orleans.
Congressman John N. Garner OF
thSs district believes that the inves-
figation should be extended 10 this
district.
Baeharach and his committee
should come down here to get .
true picture of the service that is
being rendered along the border.
After which Washington may get
q better view of the work that is
being accomplished by customs men
along the Rio Grande as we'll as
those who are working at Gulf Of
Mexico ports and on the Atlantic
seaboard.
NO HARM, certainly, can come
from urging Collector of Customs
Roy Campbell, San Antonio, to wire
Congressman Bacharach and urge
his committee to visit Brownsville.
This subcommittee should visit
the Valley around November at
which time there will be other con-
gressmen here attending the Intra-
coastal Canal Association meet,
scheduled for Brownsville and Har-
lingen.
In addition TO the benefits that
may accrue to the customs employees
as result of this visit, the Valley
generally will benefit, for more
congressman than ever will have had
an opportunity to get a true per-
spective Of this section. which needs
Vashington's help so greatly in so
wsy ways.
~HARLINGEN REAL Estate Board
and Harlingen Chamber Of Com
merce made important resolutions
the other day.
They endorsed thirty feet OF water
at Point Isabel and the general de-
velopment of the project.
These organizations are vitally
interested in the proposed develop
ment Of water transportation through
the Arroyo Colorado, but Z at the
same time are appreciative Of the
fact that without deep water at
Brazos Santiago Pass first il will
Le impossible to bring il up the
hroyo Colorado.
The Valley is, always has been,
united on the proposition of deep
water at Brazos Santiago. It has
been a long, hard, wearisome task
and Is still far from realization. But
the Valley spirit will carry on and
carry through.
W. d. SPELL OF MeAllen, tele-
phones The Herald to congratulate
it upon its presentation of the Val
ley's banking figures, as shown in
The Herald Friday.
Describes il as an effective and
valuable piece Of work.
The gathering and compiling OF
those figures several times . year
by The Herald is only one of many
such services rendered by The Her
aid 10 the Valley.
The Herald is the only small city
newspaper in Texas. or the South
~est, for that matter, that main
tsins o staff correspondent whose
whole time Is given to the compil-
ing and writing Of development ma
terial.
Development is the great thing be-
fore the Valley today-lands, mark
cts, indutries, etc. The Herald has
long realized this, and has spared no
Expense 10 present the living,
breathing Valley of today in words
that are understandable.
And doesn't feed too much Of II
q one time, that II may not become
indigestibls.
MRS. JULIA MONTGOMERY has
Found her shawl.
IL became lost. Value Is : senti-
mental one.
The Herald published a story Of
The loss.
Now, all over the Valley. Mrs.
Montgomery says. sympathetic
friends are inquiring Il she has
found that shawl.
She has.
And she even heard Of that lost
shawl In San Antonio, and in Hous-
ton.
apparently everybody in the
Valley reads The Herald" Mrs.
Montgomery says.
SPEAKING OF ADVERTISING,
there's punch, 20 and result-getting
service in Herald elassifieds.
A few days ago NJ. r. Hall, as
sistant county attorney, wanted "a
find a man who sold something Hall
needed.
Hall appealed TO The Herald for
helm. The Herald knew there was
such q fellow in the Valley. but
didn't know where he lived.
Suggested that Hall try classl-
! fled.
Hall did.
shortly after dark. hardly more
than two hours after the Ad ap-
reared. the man sought called Hall
by long distance. from San Benito.
Said he had seen the little 25 cent
ad while going up the Valley on a
Black Diamond bus.
A small service. yes. But enc that
Hall wanted badly. and il cost him
lust q quarter Of a dollar.
