I'M OUR
VALLEY

THE LOWER RIO Grande Valley
4 ~ accustomed to undertaking and
"puttine over big projects that it
never seems 70 interest itself in the
ronrlet,.u of ordinary things.
Cone to mind after seeing North
Texas papers rake a great to-do
over -bc conpletion Of a bridge
across the Brazos, near Hearne.
Grow. lne rom all over to attend
the bridge opening.
The .t-ara appears about the size
and wy W The Valleys bridge across
the Arroyo colorado, nea. Harlin-
ger.
iect never mixes a ripple in the
VALLEY.
Wher the Valley finished a s3,-
100000 highway II didn't celebrate.
Cameron county didn't celebrate
a 5000 600 road bond issue, which
means 2001 " les Of concrete roads
when completed. And it's our guess
there won. "a a celebration when
the Sfg10t00 is spent. For then
theren be- no.e roads to build.
The Valley spends more in two
weeks ~ public construction than
many North Texas counties spend in
ten years.
Not a criticism, nor is it a boast
Juss a fact
A FEW DAYS AGO this column
bemoaned the fact that no circus
had appeared on the horizon for the
present fan
And the suggestion is no more
than made when, 10 and behold a
circus appears in the offing. Bill
boards emblazon the fact. News
papers shout il in advertisements.
And The Herald has made an ar
rangement with the circus folks by
which any boy or girl can obtain ad-
mission To everything by just few
minutes Of work.
All that j. necessary for any one
10 attend without cost is to get two
new subscribers TO The Herald.
The circulation manager Of The
AfA@lA VIII sNPHAe ~AA AfAaAo-
ORGANIZATION OF new road dis
tricts is attracting attention of res
idents in Hidalgo county.
Communities interested include
Mission -Sharyland. Pharr, San Juan,
Donna and McAllen.
Two districts already are or
ranized. one known as the Edinburg-
Mercedes district, the other is the
Weslaco district. Each will vote
soon. the first on a s4.000.000 road
bond issue, the second on $s50,000.
Cameron county preferred the
: COUNTY wide plan, with promises that
each commissioners precinct would
benefit in proportion u its valua-
tions. And all seem fairly well sat
isfied with the way things are 60
ing.
tom EUMASON'S band AZ Mis-
sion proposes to carry off first
prize at the South Texas Chamber
of Commerce meeting, Brownsville,
November 14-15.
Here is what the Mission Times
has to say about IL:
ssThe band concert Saturday night
drew a large crowd, who enjoyed
the evenings entertainment. Tom
Humason has real bunch Of mu-
sicians and we hope 70 see them
capture a prize at the coming band
contest az Brownsville, for which
they are entered"
This band contest. with a dozen o.
more entries. is expected 10 be one
Of the big attractions Of the South
Texas meet.
A community band Is something
for any city or town 10 be proud Of.
And most communities are proud
Of their community bands, and are
always glad 70 put their blowing
ability and their pounding ability
against any other band from any
other community.
TIE contest should be most
popular one.
THAT WAS AN attractive lineup
Of automobiles that Messrs. Sellers
OF Brownsville. LomaN Of San Be
nito and NcNoil Of Mercedes round
ed up for The trip through the Val
ley Of the visiting bankers.
The automobiles, nearly all new
and palltial. reflected the gen
orally prosperous conditions in the
