he said. When large passenger

He tainted the water with various

showing effects SOMEWHAT similar

THE miniature train 70 Port Isa-
bel blows a gentler. toy-likc horn
as II winds its way through
Brownsville. And regularly each
Monday evening may be heard the
familiar. stirring rat-a-tat-tat OF the
American Legion drum corps. Then
there are the traffic signal bells in
the larger Valley towns. Although
perhaps a bit annoying to persons
living or working near them, GER
tainly they are indications OF met

sound OF scores OF hammers pound
ing new nails is at present quite
audible in new additions. And who
does not look forward 10 the allurlng
whistles OF steamboats, 70 be here
IN the near future?
FEW Of the Valley sounds which
~ are unusual to the ears or the
many rortherners are: Tapping
wings OF sea gulls on Laguna Madre,
swlshing branches or tropical palm
trees. friendly parrots laxative in
two languages, and the soft musical
harmonizing voices OF Latin-Amer-
leans filling the balmy night air
with their native songs.

this Valley song OF praise Is the one
thing which you can hear above all

investments.
