BANKER LIKES
VALLEY HOME
Newcomer TO City Circle
High i'm Praise or
What He Finds

Brownsville has another bank
er. and the Valley, for that mat
ter, and the banker Is f~oreseeing
great things for the Valley.
The banker Is Ben r. Reed,
whom many Of Brownsville have
already met, and who, after a fort
night or so at his new desk as
vice-president Of the First Nation
al bank was today asked by a
Brownsville Herald reporter to
give a few impressions he has gain
ed to date and observations he has
made.
Mr.. Reed comes to Brownsville
from Weatherford and this writer
will now let him talk:
"A half million population with
in the next ten years, and a quar-
ter million in the next five years
in the Valley" is the prediction Of
Mr.. Reed. With that as a starter
he continues.
II shall be disappointed II the
Valley does not attain this devel-
opment within such q period Of
time II Is the fastest growing and
the most promising section OF Tex
as and I would almost say. or the
United States, Canada, Mexico and
Central America. over which + have
travelled
Witness To Growth
II came here first eleven years
ago on a deer hunt. After jumping
cactus end mesquite brush all
morning on horseback. we killed "a
buck neal the present site or Wes-
laco. then went 10 a little country
store 70 buy provisions. Someone
told us that was the beginning of
a new town -Four years later +
again visited in this section and
found flourishing Weslaco.
\, The port will be a determining
factor in the growth Of the Valley.
because il will be instrumental in
bringing industrial firms 10 this
section. It will be highly beneficial
not only TO Brownsville. but to the
entire Valley.
Another pleasing thing Is the
remarkably cordial relations be-
tween Brownsville and Matamoros.
They are the best ! have seen any
where along the border"
Lives In Los Ebanos
Mr.. and Mrs. Reed have Just
moved into their home in Los
Ebanos. and the social atmosphere
Of the city pleases them as well as
the business prospects.
Nowhere I have ever been have
I found a more cordial reception.
The friendliness OF Brownsville
people seems 10 come from the
heart Altogether. we are very glad
we came here"
Their son. Ben Y. Reed. Jr.. IS
now in school In Weatherford. but
will join them here A. Christmas
and enter the local schools az the
opening OF the new term.

IN OUR
VALLEY
By c. NJ. HALL

yYTITH all in Brownsville, and the
wv Valley for that matter. deeply
interested in the progress being
made toward the deep-water port,
or harbor. many yesterday we're glad
to hear OF the advanced stages of
the work Of preparation OF the navi-
cation commission.
This body. headed by John Gregg
as chairman. has had details almost
innumerable to deal with. and while
to some il my eem quite a time
since congress voted the develop
nk~ent ON July 4. when II Is consider
C as a whole the work has been
c~ommendable for speed.
One cause for the lack Of under
standing Of the time II would take
arises from the incorrect picture Of
many individuals concerning what
had to be done.
THE present status OF the under
taking is Of such moment and
of watching with expectation.
that chances are In years to come

nEPORTS from the Brownsville
n Chamber Of Commerce meeting
appearing in the press are TO
the effect that about all the Valley
visitors r being received during
the winter months who can be cared
for. On this hypothesis the meet
ing took steps toward the encourage
ment of more visitors during the
summer.
Not for any a should the lat
ter step be discouraged, but because
our facilities for caring for the VIM
ter visitors are being taxed Is no
reason we should slack up inviting
them here. II has taken much
time and labor to start the winter
movement, and II Is up TO the VAL
ley to expand with II. II 1t would
reap the maximum benefit.
Which brings us back to the pres
ent great need Of more housing ia
cilities. The point is almost reached
