commerce in the airport celebration

address on city recreation facilities

the Valley has numerous historical
sites that should be preserved, men,
tionlng the battlefields Of Resaea de
las Paimas, Patio Alto and numerous

historical monuments and recreation
spots az once, the professor stated.
DIR. Pammel read excerpts from The
Brownsville Herald. Houston Post
Dispatch and the Daily O~kIahoman in
bringing out his points. One stated
that a city that had spread out and
put up skyscrapeFs but failed to pro-
vide recreation facilities for its in
creasing population had failed to
progress.
He endorsed the park policy of
states. Since DR.. Pammel has been a
member Of the Iowa park body, 40 Of
the states IS parks have been estab-
lished. The professor also recited
statistics on national parks intended
to show that local facilities should be
increased. DR.. PammeI emphasized
his opinion that some park typical
Of the lower Rio Grande should be
established.
The noted professor is very favor
ably impressed with the Valley. This
Is his first trip to Texas since he
worked on a cotton root rot survey
