MYTH Monday the day various
Wv sections Of these United States
take stock Of their injured and
dead as a result Of weekend acct
dents, the Valley today lists COM
paratively few when its area and
population is considered.
The Rio Grande is being search
ed today for the body of Cal Hog
gard, young farmer. who was drown
ed Sunday morning. but automo-
bile crashes seem 70 have been
somewhat conspicuous by their alb
Sence.
Too much stress cannot be laid
upon accidental deaths. Persons
who cannot swim stepping beyond
their deaths and swimmers losing

1T is vacation time. The time these
things will happen. Such as the

unnecessary fear, or TO spoil a
planned vacation, but to ask vaca-

none for themselves.
vacation record has been set this
~ weekend which will probably
not be equalled again for many
months. This Is found in 5000 en-
ployeS Of the Western Electric COM
pany all going on vacation at the
same time. All Of them have left
with two weeks pay in their pockets.
What a good time they are looking
forward too.
This number represents over twice
as many persons as the recent CEN
sus gives to the city of Brownsville.
If the law of averages, which has
been noticved with reference 70 ac-
cidents, holds. that 5000 will have
at least two to bury on or before
their return home. Not so good to
think about, but something TO act
on.
