with plans laid for the project
to Corpus Christi. Valley represen-
tstives attended the meeting with
the object of pushing the ldea OF
continuing il to the Rio Grande.
John Shary eloquently presented
this plea. Corpus Christi was chos-
en- as the next meeting place.
One can rest assured that with
the canal coming 70 New Orleans,
a way will be found TO bring 1t on
TO the Valley for the profit OF this
section.
WHILE reading of the opening oil

~ out for ducks and geese. little
thought is given to bathing. In fact
some in the Valley may think Il

this time Of the year.
But a drive TO Boca Chica yester-
day presented that very spectacle

we're visitors to the Valley. Coming
down into this warm sunshine from
the far north. the waters OF the
beach merely feel invigorating 70

We can advertise bathing In the
winter SO far as they are concern

Some are doing that very thing.
THE death Of former District Al
torney Covey Thomas, at CO.
q tulla. brings to mind again the
death OF Harry williams. Laredo
Times reporter. almost two years
ago now
Judge Thomas vas one OF the de-
Tense attorneys for the two peace
Officers convicted at Laredo in that
case. He made a powerful plea for
the accused men.
Judge Thomas Is said 70 have shot
himself while friends looked on. Not
more than two days before Deputy
Fierros. one Of the states greatest
aids in solving the mystery, shot
himself. There IS no connection be-
tween the two deaths and the VIII

incident that two of the prominent
figures in the hearing should die IN
that manner within two or three
DAYS time.
Williams body was found IN the
Rio Grande after a months search
which stirred two nations.
THE Valley car be careful in its
driving if it will. Sunday prob
ably found mxe automobiles
out on the highways than any single
day in many months. The occasion
vas the first Sunday of sunshine
in some two weeks. with constant
rain in between the holidays. AT
the time this was written no serious
injuries had been reported.
There were a few crashes. but they
resulted mostly in smashed tenders

prove that with careful driving all
but that can be avoided.

THE Red Cross campaign Is now
before the Valley and the ma
ton. The Red Cross and the
Salvation Army are two organiza-
tons which during the war proved
their right TO live forever. Today
We are a bit prone to forget they
still exist until in time OF some dis
aster when the helping hand Of the
Red Cross nurses make their ap-
pearances as if from nowhere.
Such organizations are like life
insurance. Which reminds us that
in life insurance the man who
should have ii for his own protec-
ton and that of his family is rarely

commodity that it is. And some
e.en seem TO think the man who
comes in and out-talks him into
providing for hts wife and family
after death Is somewhat OF a pest.
He may be considered Z pest until

her greatest benefactor.
BOUT a week has passed since
n an unidentified man was found
in the Arroyo Colorado. Little
Is being heard Of attempts TO iden-
tify him and run doun the murder
er II was necessary to bury the
body because it was so badly de-
composed. But If that man met
foul play in Cameron county we
should not calmly bury him and for
get him. Life Is not that cheap in
Cameron county.
