I'm OUR
VALLEY

Ns~ VANITY akid 1ttcE SpcIlulIB
a brief childhood at the coast
village, he became a resident OF
Brownsville.
Here he grew to a manhood OF
service, living well beyond the al
lotted three score and ten.
Himself member OF a large
family, he became the father of a
large family.
He served the community as its
county tax assessor for more than
three decades.
Thousands will always remember
him for his kindness, his geniality.
his readiness TO help his fellowman.
Uncle George" was the type OF
good citizen whose loss is keenly felt
by the community.
The Brownsville city commission
Is divided into two schools OF
thought insofar as operation of
the municipal airport Is concerned.
Each. however Is in accord IN the
thought that the facilities OF the
airport should. as a municipality
owned proposition. be available to
all on equal terms.
But they are disagreed as TO how
Tar the city should 20 in this
direction.
Mayor A. b. Cole and Com
missioner Hipp represent one ave-
nue. OF thought in the matter Of
sale or lease: Commissioners Starck
and Cobolini another.
Each side has stated its position
through interviews in The Herald.
But Commissioner B. 4. Hinkley
is yet to be hea 4 from. He Is re-
garded as a neutral"
He Is in key position. With him
rests the responsibility. for with
his vote either side may carry its
point.
Sometimes that is a desirable
position. And, again 1t may not be.
Brownsville Is highly appreciative
of the attitude OF those visiting
physicians who are cheerfully ac-
Azepting the inconvenience OF quar-
W at San Benito and Harlingen
While attending the medical con-
vention here.
They musa travel s8 and so miles
q day in going to and from the
sessions.
But in accepting the situation
they are insuring their own COM
fort. because San Benito and Har-
lingen both have splendid hotels.
Even Dallas has its difficulties
at times. For example. many OF
the Rotarians who will attend the
international convention there. viii
have rooms at hotels in Fort Worth.
Life just gets more complex every
day-even the camiones feel 1t.
In case you don't know what the
"camiones" are 1t is herewith ex-
planned that they are the little
buses that run from Adams street
near Twelfth. and out to Colonla
Victoria, and even the beaches.
Well. each camione now has to
be marked. with a figure 13 or
a figure IA depending on their
route out Thirteenth or Fourteenth.
This Is done to keep the traffic
separated. The mark Is on the
radiator OF each car, white figures
on a red placque.
So that's that.
DR.. Holman Taylor. secretary Of
the Texas State Medical Associa-
ton and the man who Is largely
responsible for making a go Of
the convention opening here Tues
day, has many worries. but q new
one appeared on the horizon this
morning.
It's about badges.
Some Of the members told him
there wouldn't be alarge attend
ance In Browns illc and urged him
70 order fewer badges than he I'D
bought before.
"I like to come TO the Valley and
knew that other members Of the
association would welcome an OPP
portunity to visit this section" he
said. so I ordered 1900 badges,
the same number We used at Cal
weston last year. Now I am afraid
I am going 10 run short. wish
had ordered a few more.
DR.. Taylor knows the Valley. He
spent a year in this section during
the bandit raids and was in COM
mand OF a regiment. There has
been a great development, and he
thinks he would like It even more
than he has in the past If he
could find time from his many
duties TO see some Of 1t.
He is hoping TO get the CONVENTION
70 running smoothly soon and to be
= lie to get out and hunt for some
Eine oldlandmarks he remembers.

advance OF modern progress.

''As a visitor to your fair city
I have seen many things to the
credit Of the progressive spirit
of your citizenship but none more
beautiful than the new fountain on
