wanted to know who would have
charge Of the entire arrangement,
the handling Of money. and SO on.
The law on the matter has been
looked up. In the event a bi-county
navigation district is formed, the
county having the larger acreage
organizes the district, calls the cleo
tions. forms the commission; and.
in fact, has virtually complete
charge of the district.
Since Hidalgo county is larger
than Cameron county, in the event
a two-county navigation district was
formed. Hidalgc county would be in
entire charge Of the navigation dis
trict.
CAPTAIN FRED WILBUR, sun
day editor Of the Houston Chronicle
was honor guest a few weeks ago
Of the International Press club, in
their regular meeting at Reynosa.
Returning 20 Houston. Captain
Wilbur wrote a story for his news
paper on how the Valley appears
from the air.
Among other things he records as
having seen, was a rainbow Of COM
plete circle. He recites that this is
a very rare phenomenon. that il has
been seen by few If any flyers.
Perhaps Captain Wilbur didn't
know that it is only flying writers
who are honor guests of border
press clubs that are accorded such
rare privilege as a view OF rain
bow that is q complete circle.
Being the first flying writer 10
be thus entertained on the border,
Captain Wilbur naturally was the
first to see a rainbow that was a
full circle.
Colonel Bill Essterwood. Jr., of
Dallas is TO he the next honor guest
Of the international Press club nj
Reynosa. Colonel Easterwood was
the hacker Of the Inflated Dallas

We await with interest Colorel
Easterwood's story of his observa-

THERE WAS "A TIME. not SO
many years ago, when during a
rainy season inter-city business in
the Valley came almost 10 a stand
still because Of dirt roads.
That time has gone. Wet weather
does not stop business as between
one town and another. and even in
the strictly rural districts paved
roads are stretching out to "out Of
the way" farms-or farms that once
were "out Of the way"
In another two or three years
there will be a complete network NJ
paved roads that will enable almost
all Valley farmers 70 reach the mar
kets. regardless Of weather condi-
items.
