Valley delegates TO the American
Legion national convention were
resting some this morning. and max

advertising Of the Valley during the
afternoon. following the excellent
showing yesterday in the mammoth
parade Of the Legion.
Although coming near the end Of
the four-hour parade. the display
which was presented by Legion men
from the Valley attracted more Mt
t~ention than any other Texas delega-
ton. and more than most of the
entries from other states.
The Brownsville Drum and Burle
corps led the Valley delegation. This
bugle corps was one Of the flashiest
in appearance Of any in the parade.
The brilliant uniforms. with their
red braid. made a flashing spectacle
as they marched along the street.

about three hundred Valley people
who marched together in this part
Of the parade. and the solid block
Of the black hats and trousers.

The San Benito float came next.
This float was almost barred from
the parade because the parade Off

seen for a mile down the street.
