AaE oSttD ANNUAL convention
OF the Texas State Medical asSo-
ciation has passed into history.
And 1t viii be recorded as one OF
the most successful and thoroughly
enjoyable ever held. judging by the
comments on every hand.

OF the arrangements made by the
cameron County Medical Society
with the assistance Of the Valley
Medicel Society," Every detail had
been given careful attention. these
officers said.
AS they boarded their trains last
night the individual members spoke
IN glowing terms of the hospitality

ing the sessions. II was agreed by
everyone
DR.. B. o. WORKS, chairman OF
the arrangements committee. who
gave months Of time TO seeing that
everything possible was done TO
make success Of the meeting. Is
happy today. He Is satisfied that
members Of the association were
sincere when they told him they
mad enjoyed the convention here
as much as any they had ever at
tended.
Many OF them went much fur
ther, and told DR.. Works II was the
finest convention the association
has held.
And the association. recognizing
hard work. elected the man who
had arranged the convention first
vice president.
About the happiest circumstance.
In the opinion Of DR.. Works, IS the
fact that the expenses OF the con-
tleRtion are paid
Klere is even a possibility that
SOME money viii be left after all
bills have been paid This will be
prorated back to doctors Of the va
rious societies who contributed to
the convention fund.
This is an unusual record and one
OF which it might be well for local
people to take note. DR.. Works
might be prevailed upon to use his
money raising proclivitieS in the in
terest Of some local entertainment.

Valley impressed the visiting men
and women of the medical associa-
tion as ''the most hospitable section
of the state"

which drew the visitors time after
time. Curio and novelty stores re-
port splendid business.
Hundreds OF the visitors went
through the old cathedral on the
plaza. the cemetery and other
points OF interest.
A surprising thing about the
whole convention was the number
of doctors who were seeing the VAL

Alamo city said. "It is wonderful
and surpasses my preconceived no

Isabel on the drive Friday. But i
have seen SO much that am afraid

all so am foregoing the pleasure
Of a trip to the coast resort" he

made hundreds Of aviation enthus-
lasts, through the airplane rides
