Studying Community Service

Ways in which the rural church
can best serve the community was
one of the principal subjects dis
cussed at a series of meetings just
held over the state by the Metho-
dist Protestant denomination under
the leader ship of Rev. Frank Law
renee Brown, d. d., of Columbus,
president of the Ohio conference.
The church being primarily spirit
ual, it was asserted, it's chief func-
tion is the encouraging of men and
women to lead Christian lives. In
addition 70 this, some of those who
discussed the question, declared
the church should not hesitate to
take a S and on moral issues as
they af feet the community and
should lend its support to those
moveme4ts looking to the spiritual
and snc3aI welfare of the people.
Incluul in these are civic i'm

game, which was one of the biggest
upsets of the season. Bang up foot
ball featured the contest, and Coach
Marquis used many subs, in order to
find a winning combination. Sims,
speedy end for M. & M, again
showed his ability at toting the ball
for the big Reds" and on the first
play galloped 90 yards, around right
end, but was forced out of bounds
on Caldwell's 10 yard line. F.
Adrean, fullback, carried the ball
over after three attempts were made
by his team mates, for the first
touchdown of the game. Caldwell
threatened M. & MS goal several
times, but the Big Reds held their
own and came back strong in the
last quarter. A 25 yard pass-F.
Adrean and Sims, accounted for the
last score of the game. The extra
point was made by Lewis who car
ried the ball over. Lineup:

Especial to The Herald

DONNA, Aug. Sire chiefs
from several Valley towns gathered
here Friday as guests of the local
Rotary club. before which talks
we're made on combating the men
ace Of fire and the cooperation
which business men car givie In
preventing conflagrations.
Speakers were Ross A. Marcus.
Mission; G. l.. Hampton, Edinburg;
T.. M. Lahr, Rio Grande City; Da-
7id Wilson, and Jesse Norwood.
1t was brought out at the meeting
that the key rate Of the city nov
is 40 cents and plans for its reduc-
ton were talked over.
Brownsville's fire insurance key
rate on August l was lowered five
cents to rs cents. giving Brownsville
the third lowest net fire insurance
rate in the state. San Antonio and
FL Paso are the only cities with
lower net rates.
The recent installation OF the
latest type alarm boxes and the
elimination of the penalty for in
sufficient paving were factors
which won the new low rate.
Insurance policies issued after
August / will benefit by the new
rate.

the insects. And IL Is upon us OF
Texas and other states Of the great
Southland that the chief burden
will rest. This warfare has always
been without quarter. none given,
none asked. Sometimes the insect
hordes have entirely ~vanquished
man and at a terrible cost.
1t Is history how the Count de
Lesseps was routed when attempt
ing to build the Panama canal. The
Insects we're able TO bring up great
or and more powerful hosts than
could de Lesseps and after an
enormous loss OF life man fled-all
that could flee, and the attempt
was abandoned as hopeless until
mar produced new means Of war
fare and greater generals.

are either totally or almost entirely
depopulated because OF the power

kind that attempt TO endure IS
viciously attacked BY the tse tse
fly through the medium Of the IA
tai sleeping sickness. And on a
similar or smaller scale this Is 60
ing on in many portions Of the
world.
Battles Here
We Of the Americas have had
our terrific battles In the past.
sometimes winning. sometimes
breaking even with the insects. but
often barely holding our own. Nat
urally. the insect commanders do
not always attack us directly. FIRE.
quently the attack Is by a blockade
or destruction Of our food supplies.
Often locusts have starved out en-
tire sections and caused famine.
Then we have seen the boil weevil
cause such ravages that men were
almost In dspair.
And Il Is only within the last two
years that the people Of Texas have
been called upon to fight a danger
Gus insect foe in the guise Of the
Morelos fruit fly. And how mucn
harder has II been because some
of us have denied its existence,
preached against the danger and
influnced others TO fight us O
at least not assist US in the fight.

able opposition cost us2 II looks

eggs may not develop for seveISl
weeks and the worms may live
longer. When ready for the pupae
stage. the maggcts drill out through
a very tiny opening and burrow into
the ground for a depth Of one
fourth OF an inch TO two inches.
Or they may pupate beneath rot
ten fruit. or If in a building, pupa-
ton may take place in the box OF
fruit OF on the floor.
Host Fruits
The duration CT the pupal stage
may run up to a month. but is
often less. When the fly emerges
she goes to the host fruits or vege-
tables TO eat and within two weeks
she deposits her eggs beneath the
skin Of the host and another cycle
begins. The Morelos fly has four
generations a year and the Mediter-
ranean fly as many as twelve. So
we can see how n spoiled Florida
fruit Of infested thrown out bv a
merchant, or a news agent on q
tram or by a passenger or from
the kitchen. can serve TO DESTROY
the great fruit and vegetable indus
try Of Texas and that within a very
short time. Unfortunately. few
realize that this danger applies to
almost every portion or orr state.
The emphasis is always placed on
the citrus industry. but much fruit
Of other kinds and many vegetables
are grown throughout the state. so
the danger is statewide. East Texas
would be particularly hard hit.
Therefore let every good citizen
write. or better still. wire Governor
Moody or cur representatives and
senators, to Immediately formulate
emergency measures that will de-
stroy all Florida fruit and prevent
entry Of both Florida fruit and
vegetables until we are sure the
danger is past. Certainly. most Of
our legislators o not realize our
great and growing danger. SO We
must place it before them in every
way possible. Quite a few tele-
grams have already been sent out.
but everybody must get behind the
campaign If we are to absolutely
safeguard one Of our greatest in
dustries. And if We remember that
united We stand. divided we fall"
we will save our fruit and vege-
table industry and reap the reward
