VALLEY

vlTHILE little is being heard of
wv Brownsville and Port Isabel deep
" water port these days, members
OF the Brownsville Navigation COM
mission say that IL Is moving for
ward as fast as possible in this pre-
liminary stage. .
Work of obtaining the rights-of-
way and preliminary engineering
surveys are proceeding, and while nc
date has been set for throwing the
first shovel full of dirt, 1t is thought
10 will not be long before tangible
evidences OF construction will be
visible to the naked eye Of those IN
tereSted.
NHUCH has been said Of the
Brownsville public school system,
Ava but most of it has been con-
corning the great number OF stud
ents. the flock out for football, and
the large teaching staff.
There is another feature In con-
nection with the Brownsville Junior
college which is about as high a
compliment as can be paid. It is
a very tangible compliment. This is
that few students are going away
to school this year. Practically al
taking their first two years Of col
lese work are remaining in Browns
vii&e and quite a number who went
avrav to school last year, are taking
their courses at home this year.
TIP Mission way. it seems that the
same growing pains are being
" suffered as in Brownsville. Ed
tor Ralph Bray Of the Mission Times
has q powerful appeal for more
homes and apartment houses 70
are for the tourist crop. He says
McAllen has at least a hundred fam
lilies which Mission could have had'
had the latter possessed adequate
housing facilities.
Brownsville will find many vlsl-
tors and prospective newcomers
forced to HE themselves to other
places 70 live unless we furnish them
more places to live. No use kloolng
ourselves about 1t, either MISSION
or Brownsville.
~. MANATOU in closing out ms
ulace of business at Mission gives
- as the reason that he wouio
concentrate all IN one. He plans
~ give his entire efforts 70 his
Brownsville store.
THAT proposed trip to Monterrey
while showing a goodly number
n signed for the hegira, still lacks
MANY to show the required NUMBER
for the special train. One hundred
and TWENTY-FIVE are necessary, ana
wednesday is the last day. one
hundred will not do. and If Browns
Vile ever had a great opportunity
10 stick a business and social feather
in her zap, It is found in this pro-
posed trip to Monterrey. Get your
check TO the Brownsville Chamber
Of Commerce for your reservation
The stage has now been reached
where that check Is all that counts
in summing up how many VIII 60
CCHOOL bells are ringing for the

gan Benito new school buildings are
being put into use for the first time

can il be possible that the tocsin
of careful driving is finally having
its effect? II so. a great day Is dawn
ing i'm the Valley. Why should we
nav out a life or SO every weekend
for the sake Of driving a little faster,
or c~arelessly. Sometimes there are
unavoidable circumstances, but
these few will not fill many Collins

far over.
