Politicians take no interest
IN eugenics because the unborn
have no votes"
Dean William Ralph Inge.
NOMETH now the Better Business
Bureau OF Detroit which dis
poseth and Sayeth." then writes
the Brownsville Chamber OF Com
nerce about what 1t diSpoSeth and
NAyeth until the correspondence
tsrows too warm for the bureau :
%nd the bureau quits.
Now the local chamber will seek
: IT'S information through its repre-
TsentativeS at Washington. This is
sought on letters from the bureau
itself that IL obtained its information
from a government representative.
Secretary Richardson takes the po-
sition that If the information came
from the government representative.
the remuneration for the work of
that individual comes from the peo-
pie as a whole, and that 1t should
not be so private and confidential.
Chances are that the government
representative is at fault only on
transformation. II enough light
is thrown out on the matter he may
voluntarily CONF out in the open.
All in all 1t seems the Detroit Bet
ter Business Bureau has now started
something 1t wants TO stop.
Is THE VALLEY growing?
Well say 1t is. A representa-
tive of the Eagle Pass Lumber
company today informed the en-
gineer OF this column that 500 600
worth Of construction will be under
way by that concern during the
month Of April. This will be IN
Brownsville and its immediate vi
cinity. And this is work on many
projects. not one.
With this item, and what the many
other lumber companies have under
contract, ii seems that the sound
Of the hammer and saw is going
to be heard throughout the land
Tor the next thirty days.
NAME Rumor got on her black
cap and gown and started
marching up and down Browns
vile streets. yesterday, in a man
ner which caused newspaper report
ers TO get In high and finally chase
her up the darkest alley, where she
disappeared.
First TO come was that Lindbergh
was in town. That sounded mighty
good, but proved mighty untrue.
Next came whispers Of informa-
ton having been received not so
favorable to the deep-water port
project. Untrue, and worse. 1t Is
the other way. 1t was said that
Judge Yates has received nforma-
ton from Washington, which gives
nahe brightest hopes for early action,
$but being only a matter OF opinion
fof those close TO the project, IT IS
not made public except to say that
everybody is happy.
TIP H~ARLINGEN way talk Is being
scattered Of going ahead with
the Arroyo project.
If that Is done. whether 1t be with
federal aid. or by the citizenship as
a whole. it will be welcome news
to Brownsville. When ships come
sailing through the deep-water port
at BrazoS Island. Harrington is going
10 find an outlet to the sea There
Is little doubt of that. Her propoS-
cd channel will make q play place
Of which the entire Valley will be
proud. to say nothing Of the added
business it will give.
rrHESE fine spring days increase
the visions OF young men and
make old men dream more
dreams.
THERE is one thing about the COM
ing OF special highway officers
to the lower Rio Grande Valley.
III they can bring down the total OF
oar accidents. and resultant deaths.
IL is going 10 be one Of the greatest
steps ever taken BY the state for
the Valley. The death list was really
beginning to appall.
