BURY YOUR HAMMER anc

Tom Phillips suggests that the
above be used in the Valley cam
palgn 10 educate boosters.
The suggestion is relayed 10 The
Herald and other Valley newspapers
by Jim ID. Ramsey who Is secretary
of the La Feria Booster club. Ram
sey says:
Tom Phillips. general counselor
for Santa Rosa. La Feria's largest
suburb. has suggested a slogan for
all newspapers OF the Valley TO use
in their campaign against knockers.
We pass 1t on to you for whatever
1t may be worth.
II agree with Mr.. Philips that
the way TO eliminate the knocker
is 70 blow the horn Of accomplish
ment" so loud that the hammer-like
croaking Of the knocker viii be bur-
led in disgrace"
CREDITS of the Brownsville
Junior College are acceptable at
face value at the leading educa-
tional institutions in the land.
That statement, made before the
Rotary club Wednesday by Dean S.
A. Caldwell. brought home to
Brownsville citizens just what sort
Of an institution the four -year-old
college has come to be.
Even two years ago the actual
VI jffe of the work being done here
was not established. Then the
credits we're at least under a cloud
That day has passed.
A faculty Of u teachers al hold
ing masters degrees has placed the
college on a firm foundation.
And the fruits are beginning to
appear. An enrolment Of ll2 regu-
lar students TO noon the second
day and these including honor stu
dents from many Valley high
schools Is proof that the work being
done has merit.
Dean Caldwell in his address said
sthe junior college soon will become
an institution of which Brownsville
and the entire Valley viii be proud F"
Dean Caldwell was overly modest.
That time has arrived.
DID YOU EVER eat an oyster II
inches long?
OF course not. but you might have
had you lived at the right time.
There have been oysters that
large-so large that oyster steaks
and 'oyster roasts" might have
been advertised.
Proof is in the large number of
monster shells in the petrified for
est north Of Roma. Starr county.
One of the huge shells was
brought TO The Herald office by
Ed Monsees.
There are hundreds and thou
sands OF them 70 be found.
And there are petrified trees-b-t
no petrified birds.
This petrified forest should be
one Of the show places of the VAL
lev. Every tourist which comes this
way should pay a visit 70 II.
All chambers Of commerce should
include 1t in any list of interesting
things 70 be seen.
Roads TO the forest are only fair
and impossible after rain. Some
thing should be done about this to
popularize the place.
TWO WEEKS.
Thursday. Sept. 26. Valley fans
viii have their first opportunity TO
witness a grid team in action-at
least il is the first scheduled game.
Brownsville junior college team 10

Eentio.
Right now the whack and thud
the eroan and grunt, the crash and
slam OF irresistible forces meeting
immovable objects is being heard
daily on the athletic fields Of VAL
ley schools
Brain and Drawn are being train
ed to function properly under fire
and in the meantime sport fans are
irving to size up the situation from
meaRre reports of progress eminat-
inR from the various fields Of bat
tie.
But 1t won't be long now.
