Being New Englanders, they had
some trouble in making their
wants known through the South
and Middle West. They were re-
garded as some type of foreigners,
due to their pronounced accent.
They, in turn, regarded hte South
erners as being un-naturalized, due
to the fact that they spoke the
queerest language ever encounter
ed. However, after more or less,
''learning the languages" they got
along alright.
They crossed the Mojave Desert
in midday and had no trouble what
ever. They carried extra tanks
of water and gasoline, but found
them entirely Unnecessary, they

VALLEY COMMERCIAL CHAMBER
MOVE GIVEN BIG STIMULUS

The long discussed move for the
formation OF a Valley Chamber Of
Commerce to function In q manner
similar TO the regional chambers
o. commerce in existence now II
Texas. has secured considerable
stimulus during the past few months.
The latest suggestion Is that the
chamber Of commerce be organized
and financed through taxation, with
a district including four Valley
counties financing the organization.
Such a district probably could be
created by an act of the legisla-
ture. which is being investigated at
the present time. and a tax Of one
mill on the dollar Is proposed. Such
q tax could yield q revenue Of ap-
proximately $4,000 q year.
The Valley had a chamber Of com.
merce six or seven years ago, with
headquarters at different points in
h.dalgo county. This organization
was financed by subscriptions. and
its principal difficulties were Sc
curing finances. It finally was al
lowed 10 fall 10 pieces. and since
Lien the many efforts TO organize
another Valley chamber Of commerce
have failed.
Practically slI Of these efforts
have been through subscription.
The suggestion for q four county
district. TO disseminate publicity
about the Valley and handle Valley
wide matters OF all kinds. came UP
several years ago. and more recent
ly definite steps toward bringing
this about have been taken.
The Chamber Of Commerce pro-
posal has been advanced BY many
Valley people during the past few
months because Of the large number
OF Valley-wide matters which have
been confronting the section with
different committees and groups OF
Valley people handling al these
matters.
1t also has been suggested as a
coordination OF several other VAL
ley organizations which have been
formed, including the Lower Rio
Crande Valley Inc. to handle the
immigration problems OF the Valley.
the Valley Better Business Bureau,
and other such organizations.
Secretaries OF Valley chambers OF
commerce who have an organization
OF their own, have favored such a
Valley chamber. and more recently
have taken steps TO investigate vari-
GUS angles OF IL.
A Valley chamber Of commerce In
order to tighten the burden on them,
and TO more economically and eff

II has been necessary for q num-
