BROWNSVILLE will hold a giant

/, BROWNSVILLE will hold q giant
celebration tomorrow.
So will MeAllen.
One celebration will attract from
the east end Of the Valley.
The other from the west end.
Perhaps they will exchange
great many spectators.
The fact Of the matter is, there
are more people in the Valley than
one Fourth Of July celebration can
handle.
And two are not too many. Each
will have plenty Of attractions. And
each should draw heaTily.
Brownsville has an additional
event, the dedication OF the new
helf million dollar international
bridge Of the Gateway Bridge COM
psny.
In which celebration Matamoros
joins, since Matamoros is as much
interested as Brownsville in this
new structure.
ANYWAY, there will be plenty of
action in the Valley on the Fourth
Of July.
And no reason for anyone to stay
at home.
The coast, with its fishing and
Z. bathing, will draw its pro rata Of
holiday crowds.
The bullfight at Reynosa will
prove another attraction.
There will be something doing
somewhere in the Valley almost
every minute OF the day.
It's to be a great dsy-a memoir
able day.
Get into the middle 81 il and cele-
brate.

Some time ago a site was pur-
y chased at San Benito, in anticipa-
