At st. Boswells an ordinary farm

Another cart loaded with wreaths

ROAD SPONSOR
LIXESYAiIEY
Judge Small Favors
National Advertis-
ing Plan Here

What the Valley needs above all
other things is better roads and a
national advertising campaign to tell
the world Of its wonders, Judge
Hugh L. Small, of Fort Worth, for
merly county judge of Tarrant coun-
~ and veteran good roads advocate,
said here Tuesday.
Judge Small is visiting III the VAL
ley, in company with his wife and
Oklahoma City. looking after several
investments here.
Il have always been a staunch
booster Of the Valley, and there are
dozens of US located about the
country, but we have hau a hard
time telling the world about this re-
gion, because we have nothing but
some chamber of commerce litera-
ture TO aid US in our arguments. IL
the Valley would launch ( tn with
a great magazine advertising cam
paign in some of the larger period
Gals Of the country, tine Valley
would develop faster than the de-
velopers ever dreamed Ct" he de-
clared.
The Valley il not only a good
place for investment, 1t is also
destined TO become a most wonderful
place in which to live and enjoy life.
The home and pride spirit is just
now making itself felt here in tae
Valleys unsurpassed climate, and
when the world learns of the won
ders here the Valley will have no
competition in the whole world, Cali
fornia and Florida not excepted"
Judge Small is one of the pioneer
advocates Of better roads and bet
ter road laws in Texas. He was ac-
tive in recognizing the County
Judges and County Commissioners
association in San Antonio In 1920.
and was named president Of that
organization, and called the first
meeting in Fort Worth when the
Texas Highway association was or
ganized.
lie was chairman Of the legislative
committee of this body, and. as such,
largely responsible for the passing
Of the gasoline tax, the motor vehicle
license and the increase-speed laws.
The judge has always favored the
election of highway commissioners
by popular vote rather than by APP
pointment as is the case now, he
said. He says there is too much
waste Of money under the present
system, where responsibility cannot
be placed, and that there has been
enough money spent in Texas in the
past ten years to have completed the
designated system and marked the
roads.
Road marking is another innova-
ton which Judge Small heartily
favors. Good road markings are al
most as important as good roads
themselves, he declared.
