Al Parker Of La Feria, we'll known Valley developer,
has sent a letter to all newspapers in the Valley sug-
costing inauguration Of a Naliey-wide cleanup and
Identification campaign. Mr.. Parker points out that
in q few weeks the stream Of winter tourists and home
seekers will flow toward the Lower Rio Grande coun-
try. and states that each individual resident Of the
Valley should cooperate in making the lower border
country more attractive.
The suggestion offered BY Mr.. Parker IS excellent;
but why confine it to the newspapers? The Herald
believes it can speak for every newspaper in the VAL
ley in stating they viii welcome Al opportunity to give
freely Of their space and extend full cooperation IN a
Identification campaign The Herald would suggest
that every luncheon club, the Valley Federation Of
Women's Clubs. the various farmers organizations, Val
ley secretaries, the school children and school faciii-
ties, churches; in fact, every organization in the Val
ley cooperate in the movement and wage an intensive
campaign during the fall months.
Unless the campaign Is organized valley-wide the
results will not be far-rcaching. What i needed is a
central organization with a man Of Mr.. Parker's en-
ergy at the head, to outline the general campaign and
enlist cooperation Of all organizations. The news
papers will handle the publicity; they will appeal 20
personal and civic pride, and perform any other service
within their power; but they cannot. unaided. organize
the Valley as it should be organized to carry on an in
tensive and effective campaign.
There has never been a time in the Valleys history
when efforts along the line proposed BY Mr.. Parker
would be more productive OF results. The fact that the
Lower Rio Grande Valley is practically out Of the area
Of severe storms has attracted the attention Of many
northern tourists and investors and the possibility Of
coastal developments on an extensive scale we're never
brighter. The added fact that the Valleys winter and
summer climate is unequaIled; that it offers unsur-
passed opportunities for sports and recreation is an
other asset upon which the Valley can and will
capitalize.
It should BE- borne in mind that the way to attrast
tourists and homescekers is to make the Valley at
traetive. Nature ha been generous in supplying soil
and climate. permitting Identification to a degree no
other section Of the United States can achieve. TO
attain maximum results the entire Valley should co.
operate in Identification plans, and organization Is
necessary before this can be accomplished.
There is no logical reason for delay. An intensive
campaign, started by October !. should achieve re-
markable results before the winter tourist and homs.
seeker traffic becomes heavy. But the organization
should not be abandoned after effecting 4 cleanup Of
highways and private premises. It should be continued
indefinitely for the purpose Of formulating and III.
augurating Identification campaigns designed to make
the Valley the most attractive region in the United
States.

Better Gasoline

Motor gasoline marketed in the United States shows
q tendency toward becoming standardized, according 10
a recent report Of the Bureau Of Mines. The report
indicates that the average rasoIine sold throughout the
country the past summer was slightly more volatile
than that sold a year ago. In the past there usually
has been a distinct difference between Summer" gas
olinc and winter" gasoline, the report says. the first
being less volatile.
This summer the average figures have indicated y
decided return to the sale Of more volatile summer ras-
oline, the changes being especially evident IN SAMPLES
from the larger cities A study Of the individual an
aiysis' however, shows a tendency toward the market
ing Of a standardized product as individual variations
from the average are slight.
During the past nine years the Bureau Of Mines has
made semi-annual surveys Of the gasoline sold III ,he
United States. The cities in which samples were col
lected have been chosen as representative az the more
important marketing territories as it is obviously inn
practicable TO obtain a sample or every gasoline sold III
the entire country.
Standardization of gasoline will prove 4 great boon
TO the motoring public No small part Of the vexatious
delays Of touring arc due to the lack Of fuel standard
