WHILE Brownsville is forging
wv ahead, the other cities Of the
W Valley will keep pace. Ports will
help them do this. Energy and con-
fsdence, which they already have
in abundance, will help them keep
the ball Of progress moving.
There isn't a slowly growing town
In the Magic Valley and there isn't
room for one. It is doubtful that
one could be that way. The spirit
of this country would carry it along.

IN OUR
VALLEY
BY THE FIREMAN 9

TOMORROW the jubilant and
loyal voters of Brownsville will
90 to the polls and cast an over
whelming majority in favor Of the
issuance OF $l,500,000 worth Of bonds
for the port.
They are jubilant because passage
Of the port bill now definitely IS as
sured and that means a bigger, bet
ter and happier town. They are
loyal because they always have been
and realize that loyalty and unity
make for progress and prosperity.
Without them any town and any
section will stand still.
livery citizen who is eligible to
vote should cast his ballot for
the bonds. There is not a poe
ketbook in Brownsville which will
not be fattened when the port be-
comes a reality.
But that is not all. Growers and
shippers in the adjacent territory
and on up the Valley will save mon
ey and make money. Boats will
sail out Of the harbors at Browns
vile and Point Isabel carrying pro-
ducts to all ports Of the world.

THOSE few who are opposing is
suance of the bonds must not
realize what a port. a deep wat
er port, means - a city. They have
closed their eyes to the fact that
without ports, Houston. Galveston
and Corpus Christi probably would
be Of little consequence.
When deep water reaches Browns
vile, Il still will remain the metrop-
oils of the Valley but will become
also one OF the metropolises Of South
Texas. Traffic attracts more traf-
fic and progress attracts people and
wealth.
