small, close-fitting hat Of the same

I'M OUR r
VALLEY


Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh and
other famous fliers who assembled
at the Brownsville airport Saturday
Q participate in the inauguration
five lines of air mail.
SabFownsville had expected and
tie preparations for a large
ciS"d, but not a crowd of such
proportions as assembled at the air
field. ~ 60
IL was impossible for the cordons
OF border officers, troops and the
nnes OF rope to restrain the en-
tnusiasm Of that crowd.
Ihey wanted to see Lindberrh
10 cheer the famous Lone Eaple .
Breaking through the lines thew
neinmeq IN the huge tri-motor as
he landed.
That rush demonstrated the
friendship of Valley people for the
famous flier.
Barriers could not restrain their
enthusiasm, and no man ever re-
ceived more friendly and enthu-
Siastic welcome than was rendered
the intrepid colonel.
BROWNSVILLE takes consider
able pride in the celebration now
being staged at the municipal air
port.
The fact that each event on the
program Saturday was carried out
as scheduled is in itself a tribute
to the almost perfect organization
effected hy the celebration COM
mittee.
There was no lack of entertain
ment and thrills. With such fliers
as Captain Frank Hawks, Captain
Ira c. Eaker, Captain Paul Baer.
and C score of other noted airmen
present, Valley residents had the
opportunity to witness an air cir
Gus such as has never been sur
passed.
THE ENTIRE contingent will re-
main in Brownsville for the Sun
day program, which promises to be
as replete with thrills as was that
OF Saturday.
That caring birdman, Shorty"
Radack, whose plane feats and
parachute jumps were distinctive
features of the program, will re-
main over for the Sunday events.
The army and commercial planes
and seven huge tri-motors, also
i'll be featured in the Sunday Gel
~
THE BROWNSVILLE airport re-
ceived a full measure of praise
from the visiting airmen.
No one among them who did
not pronounce it one of the best, if
not the best, in the South.
And while they were enthusiast
tic in praise of the facilities pro-
vided, they looked upon it with a
prophetic eye, predicting that it is
destined to become the most i'm
portant international port in the
United States.
It's geographical location, the
fact it is on the low altitude route
between the United States and
Latin America, were factors which
formed the foundation for their op-
timistic prophecies.
THE ONLY UNFORTUNATE
feature of the program was the
order of the war department pre-
venting Captain Eaker's flight to
the Panama canal.
The people of the Valley were
as keenly disappointed as was
Captain Eaker.
They had made preparations to
start him on his flight with the
ring of good will cheers to inspire
him. Several thousand persons
would have been at the airport to
witness the "hopoff."
Captain Eaker's plane was tuned
to the finest pitch of perfection.
Every preparation had been made
for the epochal flight.
The plane will remain at the
Brownsville airport until permis-
sion is granted, Captain Eaker
stated, and the war department is
being urged not to delay.
ANOTHER FEATURE of the
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1929-03-10

THERE WAS AMPLE parking
space at the air field, and the flow
of traffic to the various parking
sites was handled without interrup-
tion.
Entrances and exits had been
provided, and at no time did the
lines of traffic flowing in opposite
directions "tangle up"
The same system will be util-
ized Sunday, officers stated, assur-
ing rapid handling of the large
crowds expected for the last day
Of the celebration.
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1929-03-10

ANOTHER FEATURE Of the
celebration Saturday was the close
cooperation between the border
patrol, sheriff's department and
city police.
Perfect order was maintained;
traffic was handled eXpeditiously,
and no arrests were made, which
in itself is something of a record
in viex. of the size of the crowd.
In u city the police depart
ment aid firemen directed the
traffic; deputy sheriffs were In
charge along the highway, and the
border patrol policed the air field.
Traffic flowed almost without a
halt. At times serious congestion
was threatened, but the officers
untangled it without delay.
