INTERVENE IN
ROAD MATTER
Property Owners on
Military Road to
Take Action in In
junction Case

Additional litigation in connec-
tion with the Brownsville precinct
highway improvement program was
indicated Saturday with the an
nouncement that Judge II. T.. Yates
will intervene in the injunction pro-
ceedings, inaugurated last week, on
behalf of a number Of taxpayers adj
versely interested in the construc-
ton of the Boca Chica road.
Just what course will be taken in
this connection has not been def
nitely ascersained, but it is under
stood that a petition, signed by over
$50 interested taxpayers affected by
the injunction will be presented the
commissioners court Monday setting
forth the necessity for continuing
the road program along the lines
proposed by the commissioners court,
which would give the bpLaer high
way and the Southwest rosl %reced-
ence over the Boca Chiea roA,.
"We are determined to fighttthis
matter to a finish" Fred Ruste. erg,
m of the large landowners on the
border highway, said. I'VE hate
been paying taxes for years to build
roads in other parts of the county.
We now have an opportunity TO get
a road, and we are willing to fight
for il. If necessary. The border
highway is one Of the most import
in the Valley. The majort part
Of the products marketed in Browns
vile come in over this road. Paw
ing Of the road will serve a large
territory that has been under cult
walton for years, and there is no
reason why this paving should be
delayed while waiting fer the Beca
Chica grade to settle so that road
can be paved. 1t is an injustice to
the taxpayers and residents Of that
part Of the precinct 20 force them 10
wait until after the Boca Chica road
is paved"

Keeping the Attitude of Youth
BY LYDIA lie BARON WALKER.

/ The person Is unconscious Of eliciting
pity. but one cannot help feeling sorry
| for hirn-or her--just by the way he
walks.
There are others who raise your
| spirits lust by the way they tread along
Life seems fine. You get breath OF
such an atmosphere. II you find the
face is not one of youth, you know that
YOU have seen a character who has met
life with courage and has found its fine
side. You actually feel as II you would
like TO know the person. The attitude
of youth is there. plus the beauty OF
courage and also reliance.
Note how the children walk, Thcy
seem to have Springy cushions In their
shoes. Nature has endowed them with
the vibrant spring of youth. 1t is this
that adults should try TO keep until
actual age makes lagSard steps. Now
that we have become accustomed TO the
thought that youth is an attitude Oh
mind such walk can be relcgated as
unnecessary.
How. then, can this youthful gait be
kept is the question of significance.
First of all by thinking Of ones self
as young. Try this. 1t unconsciously
puts youth into your walk. Then see
how lightly you can put your feet down.
There is seldom any need of treading
as heavily as middle-aged women do.
They set their feet down IN a way that
may be called planting" as If there
was no intention Of taking the feet up
again. Each step sounds fatal. Try tc
make 1t sound progressive.
BY fleXing the knees in walking a
sprinsy gait can be had. This must
be so slight that it is scarcely percept-
ible. Otherwise the person hobs while
walking. This is ungraceful. especially
in an adult. But the step of youth Il
largely Springy because the knees are
responsive and the ankles. too. They
ar> not stiff. but flexible. They react
10 the motion OF walking that permeates
the whole body OF youthful pedestrians
So keep up the attitude of Youth
Let it set into your joints as well as
into your mind. Practice fieXing the
knees and ankles. Keep the head we'll
up. Children do. BY all means at cne's
bidding. preserve the step that indi-
Gates vouth-youth in outlook as well
