I'm OUR
VALLEY

Az - sun In the early stages OF
development. But already there are
signs that 1t viii be developed into
fomething really worthwhile.
Pathways have been constructed.
They lead through tangles OF nat
ural brush, and remind one OF
breckenridge Park, San Antonio.
Perhaps 1t Is the intention to
4 maintain a herd of burros for the
u amusement Of children.
Roadways that wind In and out,
pver small hills and along the lake,
will make attractive drives, assum-
lng that they viii be graveled or
otherwise improved.
III ALREADY numerous flower beds
have been worked out in various
| designs. At one point there is a
huge flower bed, with O star In bold
Exelief.
4 This particular bed gives much
= promise Of future beauty.
4 City Commissioner Burt Z. Hink-
4 ley Is In charge Of the park angle
M city affairs. And Is taking a
4e8 interest in working out this
i3 Another two or three months
should make a great difference in
That sight. When the plants have
igrown. When grass has taken root
and spread.
II But one thing will have to be
lone. There's an eye sore nearby.
Wit Is a dumping ground. Millions
/ Of pieces OF paper floating around.
n And March winds are carrying most
Of them into the park.
Hi Surely II Is the intention OF the
city to get rid Of that part OF the
scenery. Else the park development
5gill prove a waste.
.I CITIZENS of Brownsville should
X visit the scene Of that park de-
velopment.
1t will prove revelation to those
Hwho have not seen 1t, as IL GER
'jtainly did this writer.
VI One entrance viii be found on
ffPalm boulevard. south Of the Los
Ebanos gate. The other out Sew
street, crossing the Southern
" 8Pacific tracks at the FL Jardin
d growcrs' warehouse.
" incidentally, washington Park
\ development seems TO be making
ltprogress also.
The fountain In the center OF the
,.,ark. which is being constructed at
4 cost Of about $4,000. Is nearing
completion.
soon provision will be made Tor
Mower beds. grass and other I'M
Nnrovements.
After many years Of talking about
nsrks. It seems that Brownsville Is
IN the verge OF actually having
khem.
MEXICO CITY has been hoping
khat Colonel Charles Lindbergh
'IuouId Nv the first airplane IN the
,lnew Mexico City-New York ar
l|mail. scheduled to start March 3.
Colonel Lindbergh is now In Mex
'fyco with his bethrothed-at Cuer-
ancvaca.
n he has not indicated whether he
twould accept the invitation 10 iiy
4the first mail plane.
But. since he Is already In Mex
Aro the chances are that he VIII fly
he mail to Brownsville. and return
,|tvith the next sorthboslnd plane.
II TJnless-the colonel and Miss
Morrow should decide to be mar
HrIed within the next few days
1whetier he win fly the mail then
ywell. 4 all depends.
