MOTHERS CLUB
IDEA SPREADS
Valley Club Is Unique In
Country; Many Cities
Make Inquiries
special to The Herald.)

Especial to The Herald.)
HARLINGEN, Nov. 4-The idea
of a Navy Mothers club which start
ed in the Valley Is spreading, Chi
cago and Abilene having written
for information concerning this
unique organization. according to
George Kramer. naval recruiting
officer for the South Texas Dis
trict. embracing 26 counties.
This organization, which viii
meet again probably in Brownsville,
Thanksgiving Day. is the only one
of its kind in the United States as
far as he can ascertain. Kramer
says. but IL may some day be known
as the mother club of hundreds OF
others over the nation.
Mrs. George Bevil of McAllen Is
the originator Of the idea and II
has met with tremendous success.
She came TO Mr.. Kramer with the
idea and they worked out details OF
the organization. All Of It's meet
ings have been largely attended.
Every time a boy in the South
Texas district joins the navy. his
mother automatically becomes a
member Of the club. There now are
1877 members and there probably
will be 100 by Nov. 10. Kramer says.
To show how enthusiastic the
mothers of sailors in the United
States Navy are over the organiza-
ton, Kramer quotes the fact that
$50 of these were present at the
last meeting.
Mrs. J. w. Jones OF McAllen Is
president with Mrs. d. p. Lawson
OF San Benito vice-president and
Mrs. H. B. Payne OF Harrington Sec
rotary.
Kramer, incidentally, has led
Texas in the number Of recruits
selected for twelve months. He has
been in this district almost Ia
months. Texas is permitted a quota
Of only IA recruits a month until
March ], and Kramer has enlisted
two out Of four for many months.
Entry Is on a competitive basis,
but Valley and South Texas boys
have more than held their own
Valley boys have averaged 857 III
examinations as compared with a
general average OF g.. Leo Vohs OF
McAllen scored 90 out OF a possible
100 and d. p. Frieble Of La Feria
was a close second with 987.
Only senior high school grad
yates now r being accepted for
tho navy. Each recruit Is taught
some sort OF vocation so that he is
better fitte dior civil life If he ever
leaves the navy than when he enter
cd 1t. Some Of the best Valley fam
lies have ons in the navy, many Of
them in far parts Of the world.
Efforts are always made to have
some naval officer or other dis
tineuished visitors at meetings and
it is hored TO have Roy Miller,
state chairman of the United
States NAVY week rs the next
speaker of the dav Subject Of the
meeting will be Welfare Of Navy
Sons"

The landing field on the Bessie road is now practically clear of snow on the east and west take off. Planes could now land and take off in those directions on wheels if need be. The north and south take-off still has con siderable snow on it, but it f believed that within a few days the snow will have all disappear ed. At this time of the year, which is considered the breakup season, it is a. problem to go from place to place and back again either on wheels or skis. One landing field is free of snow ant" the next one is covered with soft snow. thus making it difficult to carry on con- tinuous traffic Even dog teams at this time of the year have their troubles in making trips owing to the overflows and soft conditions of the trails.
