Valley Backs Drive
For Highway Safety

tically all of them, have occurred on
the main state highway No. II, be-
tween Edinburg and Brownsville.)
Why? Because the paving is too
narrow for the immense traffic on
it. Only n other state highway
in Texas, between Fort Worth and
Dallas,) is more contested.
THE state legislature recently
passed a law allowing a speed limit
OF forty-five miles an hour for
automobiles. What will the result
be? More accidents. The alarm
ing rate at which accidents have in
creased in the last two weeks is
proof enough. Before passing such
a law, the state should provide
wider highways for autoists.
In regard to the hit-and-run
drivers. I do not believe many
drivers, with the exception of a few
who are irresponsible. Intentionally
injure others. In many cases, pc
d~eStrians, who have no right to walk
on the pavement, are injured or
killed through no fault of the driv-
ers of cars hitting them. But, those
drivers know if they are caught
they will be prosecuted regardless of
whether they are to blame or not,
especially if there is no witness to
the accident.
I'm the case of little children
playing in the streets and public
highways. The parents Of these
little ones should certainly be held
responsible for them. But. if The
driver of a car, through no negli-
gence on his part, Injuries or kills a
child, he is held responsible in al
most every case.
do not think I am defending
the hit-and-run and reckless driv-
ers. We all know the honorable
thing to do. under such circum-
stances. is to stop and render aid
regardless Of results.
1T seems to me that this would be
the oDportune time for the women,
who have undertaken this very
c~ommendable work in connection
with a drive to stop reckless driving
in the Valley. as we'll as for every
citizen in the Valley. who is in
terested in its DEVELOPMENT, to use
their influence and efforts in hav-
ing our Main Street" widened, net
only for the safety of autoists. and
the prevention Of SO many accidents.
but also from the standpoint of
identifying and advertising our
Valley. 1t would make a wonderful
and favorable impression upon
tourists and strangers to come out

HARLINGEN, July q. - Five
thousand dollars will be distributed
among exhibitors at the Valley
Mid Winter fair, November IS to
December 1, inclusive, it is reveal
ed in the catalogue, including a
premium list, which is just off the
press.
Five thousand copies of the cata-
logu9 were printed.
K4staff of mailers was busy here
the past few days preparing to send
the catalogue to exhibitors in all
parts of the Valley, and to persons
outside the Valley who will be in
terested in the Valley institution.
The catalogue is a 96-page book
let, containing instructions for eX-
hlbltors, premium lists, classified
tons, officers and other detailed
information about the fair.
John T. Floore. manager Of the
fair, called attention to the large

With officials and civic organiza-
tions all over the Valley rallying
to the support of the safety cam
paign being conducted to reduce to
a minimum the number Of deaths
from auto accidents, and letters Of
commentator from citizens already
coming in, interest in the movement
is expected to be Valley wide by the
time Of the motorcade which will
run from Rio Grande City to
Brownsville and throughout the
Valley, August 90, according to Mrs.
w. r. Woodfin, original sponsor OF
the move.
officials of Cameron county who
pledged their support to the Cam
paign already are active, as is re-
vealed by a statement issued Satur-
day by Assistant Attorney Bascom
Cox.
The county attorneys office will
enforce to the letter the new law
recently enacted by the legislature
providing that all wagons on high
ways shall be equipped with reflec-
tors. Cox said.
Particularly at night 1t is dan
gerous for motorists to drive with
any degree of speed, due to the fact
that there is no way in which they
can be warned that there is a
wagon ahead" said Cox.
THE danger is increased when
the large amount of concrete pave
ment in Cameron county is taken
into consideration, and the amount
of hauling now being done on &C
count of the ginning season.
The first offense of failing to
equip wagons with reflectors is pun
ishable by a maximum fine of 5000.
A second offense within a year from
the first would be prosecuted in the
county court at law with a fine and
Jail sentence probable upon convic-
tion," Cox said.
In a letter to The Herald, H
Drucker comments on the cam
paign as follows:
Il have just read an article in the
paper entitled. VALLEY Women
Start Drive on Reckless Driving"
Il wish to congratulate the wom-
en-. who r instrumental in starting
this movement, and I wish them
success in their undertaking.
May I make a few suggestions in
connection with this matter, which
I deem very important?
1T is conceded that there is much
reckless driving, speeding and too
manv violations of the traffic laws.
Possibly a small percentage Of this
reckless driving could be stepped by
law enforcement, Or the fear of it.
But. another very important
thing is to get at the cause of the
many automobile accidents in the
Valley. which are increasing daily.
Most Of these accidents. if not prac-
