I'm OUR
VALLEY


ago expressed a desire to know more
about the plans for organization Of
a two county navigation district.
Among other things. the News
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 il formed. the
county having the larger acreage
organizes the district, calls the elec-
ticns, forms the commission; and.
in fact, has virtually complete
charge Of tie district.
Since HidaIgo county is larger
than Cameron county. in the event
a two-county navigation district was
formed, Hidalgo 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 to 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
very rare phenomenon, that it has
been seen by few If any flyers.
Perhaps Captain Wilbur uidn't
know that i Is only flying writers
who are honor guests of border
press clubs that are accorded such
a rare privilege as view Of a rain
bow that is a complete circle.
Being the first flying writer TO
he thus entertained on the border,
Captain Wilbur naturally was the
first TO see a rainbow that was a
full circle.
Colonel Bill Easterwood, Jr.. or
Dallas is TO he the next honor guest
Of the international Press club at
Reynosa- Colonel Easterwood was
the backer Of the iIl-fated Dallas
Hong Kong flight.
We await with interest Colo-cl
Easterwood's story Of his observa-
tons while in flight over the Val
ley.
THERE WAS A TIME. not SO
many years ago. when during al
rainy season inter-city business in
the Valley came almost to a stand
still because OF dirt roads.
That time has gone. Wet weather
does NOS stop business as between
one town and another. and even In
the strictly rural districts paved
roads are stretching out 10 @out OIL
the way" farms-or farms that once
were ~out of the way"
In another two or three years
there will be a complete network Of
paved roads that will enable almost
all Valley farmers to reach the mar
kets. regardless Of weather condi-
tions.
