Ihe Valley should extend a hand
OF welcome to her new citizens in

citizenship.
But While the new citizen is well
coined. there is another class of

The Wey is going to value more
and more highly. tourist traffic.
Something must be done to see
: that they really are entertained
when they arrive, for it is the
return customer that makes any
business profitable.
More means of entertainment
must be provided for our winter
visitors.
But after the entertainment is
provided the winter visitors must
be encouraged to make use of the

RECALLING the young woman
dancer at Wichita, Kans., who at
tanned degree Of fame by using
Valley grapefruit to produce dim
Piles in her knees, the Willacy
County News of Raymondville
nominates Tom Kane, New York
City ferry deck hand, as a more
deserving candidate.
The. News sets out that Kane
has saved the lives of 96 persons by
giving his blood in as many trans
fusions. Every such operation has
been a success.
And here is why the News thinks
Kane deserves fame.
He gives onions the credit for
the life-giving qualities of his
blood.
Kane eats onions: in fact he
almost lives on onions He has
been known to eat as many as "a
large Bermudas in "a hours.
A few more Tom Kanes, thinks
the News, would greatly reduce the
death rate of the United States
and. solve the problems of Willacy
county onion growers.
