Gill. that the charter Of the Rio
Grande Valley incorporated would
permit the organization to concern
itself about any problems that
would come within the jurisdiction
OF a Valley Chamber OF Commerce.
This being the case. why Is Il
necessary to disregard the present
established status OF the Rio
Grande Valley Incorporated, in
favor OF other organizations that
would not render any more eff
cient service?
THERE are too many organizations
that require financial support
by public donation in the VAL
ley. The Rio Grande Valley Incor-
porated should take the place OF a
Valley Chamber Of Commerce. Bet
ter Business Bureau. Automobile
Clubs. Valley Secretaries organiza-
ton and all other agencies striving
to promote and develop the Valley
in general.
California. developed as no other
section of the United States under
the auspices OF an organization
known as California Incorporated.
Therefore IL is evident that the
Valley could enjoy a phenomenal
development under the auspices OF
the Rio Grande Valley I~ncorporat-
ed.
II believe that the newspapers
chambers OF commerce. real estate
men. railroads. land companies and
every ether developing interest in
the Valley. should strive to perfect
and properly finance the Rio
Grande Valley Incorporated. BY

An italian Catholic bishop and one
Chinese priest arrived st Kiukiane
today and told the story OF their
capture along with the fourteen hos
tages now held by the reds. They
said they had been released to OBJ

The refugees told a narrowing
story. saying they had been tied
and paraded through the streets OF
Khan and were severely beaten. They
left Khan, afoot, October IA. The
hostages include. they said, -four
italian priests and four Italian, one
French, and five Chinese nuns. who
are being held at communist head

En- route to Kiukiang, they said
they were arrested many times BY

gripping the major portion OF the
United States. Edinburg has been
made the location for a new citrus
and truck packing shed, two new
beauty salons, a modern creamery
and a large residence on a huge
development project north of the
city.
These forward strides in the
city's business affairs have all been
made within the past few weeks.
A. 4. Hagedorn OF Fenton, Mich.
has arrived in Edinburg to super
wise TIN installation of machinery
for a $4,000 creamery he is TO
operate here. The interior Of the
old Everitt building just north OF
the court house has been remodel
ed and machinery for the cream
cry has been installed.
II am confident that rapid acce-
leration of business in Edsnburg
and the entire Valley within n short
time will make the location Of my
creamery in the Valley a good
move" Mr.. Hagedorn optimistically
declared.

prominent citrus and truck ship
per and packer OF that city, has
opened a packing shed in Edlnburg
at the old Arkansas Compress Co.
sheds north of the city. The pack
ing shed was to have been put into
operation Monday, but heavy rains
which have flooded this section Oh
the Valley for the past three days
made II impossible TO gather the
fruit, SO the opening Of the shed
was postponed.
The new packing plant is equip
ped with modern machinery for
packing both citrus fruit and vege-
tables and employees Of Mr.. Roots
said that the fruit would be col
ored by the use OF a newly discov-
cred gas now being widely used
for this purpose.
