William H. Cranes theatrical career carried him through fifty. three seasons to a pinnacle m. surpassed by any comedian in tha last two generations. It was paralleled in success by his home life, which included more than half a century of welded happi- ness. and was marked by a phil osophy of ''looking forward" which he indulged virtually until ais death.
 When the actor answered his last curtain call and retired amidst the mementos and remegn. brances of his colorful years, he often remarked of Mrs. Crane :: She's not my better half; she's my better seveneighths."

UNEASY over
RISING RIVER
Close Watch Will Be
Maintained on the
Arroyo

HARLINGEN, Sept. 24-With re-
ports from the U. S. Weather Bu-
reau ut Brownsville indicating a rise
in the Rio Grande reaching flood
stage or slightly over, considerable
uneasiness is expressed by residents
Of this section relative to the amount
Of flood water that would be brought
into the Arroyo Colorado in the
event heavy discharges from the San
Juan ard Salado rivers in Mexico
brings the Rio Grande to major flood
stage.
According to the report Of the wea-
Their bureau the volume in sight con-
stitutes no menace But experienced
river observers assert that the Sar
Juan and Salado are still unknown
factors, and that If their watersheds
have received the same rainfall a
on the north side Of the Rio Grandc
those streams will be discharginQ
large volumes into the main river by
Monday night or Tuesday.
They also point out that the Val
ley flood control system is untried
that il ii functions properly no dam
age will be done: but in the event
the intake Of the north floodway
proves inadequate q heavier volume
of water will be forced into the AR
royo Colorado than that drainway is
designed to carry.
Engineers state the Arroyo Colo
RADIO can carry 10000 feet without SCI
rious flooding in the developed see
lions Of the country. but any guam
tity in excess Of that volume would
constitute q serious menace If the
north floodway functions according
to the agreement between Cameron
and Hidaigo counties. no excessive
volume Of water will pass into the
Arroyo. il Is stated.
Recent Investigations BY Cameron
county residents Of the north flood
way intake southwest Of Mercedes
have disclosed that a large part OF
the area connecting with the main
channel at the east end Of Llano
Grande lake Is occupied BY a golf
course; that the terrain il exceeding
" rough and that considerable brush
has been left in the floodway. II N
also believed the south levee has not
been properly placed to assure maxi
mum discharge through the flood
way, n that this combined with OBJ
structions in and around the intake
might result in an excessive volume
being forced into the Arroyo in the
event the Rio Grande reaches dan
gerous stage.
