SEVERAL CHANGES in the pub

SEVERAL CHANGES in the pub
fishing field in the Valley.
Ralph G. Bray. former Oklahoma
and Missouri newspaperman, ssso-
ciates himself with John II. Shary.
having purchased an interest in the
Mission Times, and win be in charge.
Mr.. and Mrs. Perry G. Coler. news
paper family Of Sidney. Neb.. become
owners and publishers of the Alamo
News. having bought it from Mrs. A.
w. Haynes.
And others are rumored.
NOW that was q mean trick the
Valley played on the weather man.
He was justified in the forecast
Of extremely cold-for the Valley
weather today.
The weather map indicated that it
could be very cold.
But the near-freezing tempera-
lures expected failed to materialize.
Temperatures ranged down TO
about fifty, or something ike
eighteen degrees above the freezing
point, and no one is disconnected.
Crops are safe enough, at least for
the time being.
The brunt of the cold wave was
shunted off TO other fields, just as
IL has done often before.
Gives the Valley growers a fresh
release of optimism Tor the coming
crops, such as potatoes, tomatoes and
beans.
BROWNSVILLE city commission
adopted m ordinance dealing with
the parking of cars in the streets
after midnight.
City found it necessary because Of
the large number of cars left in
front of residences rs we'll as in
the business sectiln.
Makes difficult the work Of clean
Ing streets at night.
Men have been spending half their
time moving cars around so they
could not do their work.
Anyway, the proper place for such
valuable property is in the garage
II there's one available.
AND THE CITY selects its pro-
posed airport site.
Located out in El Jardin. along a
1-~ed ssad. and within fifteen min
utes Of the business district.
Seems to be n good selection.
The voters will soon have an op-
pcrtunity 10 pass on the matter Of
voting 100000 for establishment of
q TripIs A airport.
OF this amount about $4,000 will
be used 10 pay for the ground.
The ground itself should soon be
worth more than the amount o. the
bond issue.
IL is n good investment. even
though the city does not immediately
make money out of the airport.
It's one case Of a city having its
cake and eating IL. too.
IT WAS n great event last night
for the members of the Delta Gard
ners' association.
They celebrated the opening Of
their substantial new packing shed
and headquarters out on the South
ern Pacific tracks.
The association is q little over a
year old. The result of its efforts in
behalf Of its membership seem al
ready to be apparent.
The very fact that they have in
vested some $4,000 or $4,000 in prom
erty and improvements will tend TO
bind the membership more firmly TO
their organization.
The building is something substan-
ial that every member can see. II
denotes growth and success In the
cooperative movement.
WONDERFUL COUNTRY. this
Lower Rio Grande Valley.
Men establish homes in one part of
the Valley. and find their business
daily takes them to other parts.
They travel fifteen. twenty miles
10 work each morning. and back again
zach evening, without thinking anv-
hing of it.
