important. The overwhelming ma
1ority for the bonds does show, how
ever. among other things:
GRAND AND GLORIOUS CIVIC
PRIDE.
ALL ABIDING FAITH IN THE
FUTURE.
STRONG, vIRILE LEADERSHIP.
HARMONY AND UNITY.
THAT Is a wonderful combination.
1t Is a mixture which, when well
stirred, is the greatest growing
tonic In the world. 1t instills and
preserves new life. Keep 1t on hand
and no community can 90 wrong.
Brownsville has taken a great big
swig OF II and likes it so well that
It will become a civic beverage.
Something else may be used when
#NAn first Brownsville-made boat Is
christened as 1t slides of the dock
into Brownsville harbor. But ac-
tuaIIy the vessel will have been bap-
tised in this magic tonic.
THE spirit which the voters showed
here yesterday is the same spir-
il which IS creeping into every
nook and corner Of the Magic VAL
ley. Eventually it will bring com
plete Valley unity.
It is the spirit which comes with
sober reflection, after the growing
pains are past and childish differ
enceS have been laid aside. 1t is the
mature determination of manhood
which makes for prominence and
success.
vTTIrLE the smashing victory for
the port bonds makes the
" voters feel good 1t will attract
buyers who will grab these bonds
and salt them away with conf
dence. Bonds Of a city free OF dis
sention have no trouble finding pur-
chasers free with cash and free from
fear. Men with money are looking
for such bonds to buy and such a
city to visit and live in.
EADERS In the fight for passage
4, Of the bond issue perfected an
organization which could not be
improved upon. IL was made by
the kind OF unselfish cooperation
.shlch Is here to stay.
EVERY one agrees Except those
who were called out of bed) that
the telephoning scheme was a
knockout" Ask the women who
did the calling and they viii tell
you they nearly all had the time
Of their lives.
rPEAKING Of husbands and wives,
y happiness in the home, etc,
- marital difficulties were being
blamed today for the casting OF lone
anti-bond ballots at one or two pre-
cirscts. In n instance it is report
Led IL was the man who did 1t and
In another that it was the woman
rho baked. Back-seat driving and
"a stepp3d-on-toe we're said to have
been the causes of It all. Either
flight easily bring about almost any
hing including a sock on the Jaw.
n linotype machines are like
mules. they get cranky when
they are rushed. The r used

The Herald's extra last night acted
I'D Just that way. IL s~teadfastly
refused to drop down the number 5
when called upon
The result OF 1t was that Browns
vile precinct, No. 81. was recorded
as having cast q ballots the right
way when actually 440 more than
akHt we're voted there for the bonds.
Elfban Monsees who was chairman
Of the committee hustling voters into
this precinct. telephoned The Her
aid and called attention TO the err
ror.
The Herald is sorry for the mis-
take. It joins with many citizens
in congratulating Mr.. Monsees and
the voters OF that precinct for the
splendid manner in which they raj
lied to the cause Of the port.
FOOD news came from Austin yes
In terday. The state highway de-
partment has asked for bids on
a 11.4-mile stretch of unpaved road
between Los FresnoS and Point 1Sa-
rel. soon contracts will be award
I'd and construction commenced.
When this stretch is completed,
tuo paved avenues will lead from
brownsville TO the coast. Soon an
other road will connect with II, the
Military road, which runs down from
Laredo.
This thorofare will connect with
the international highway from
Montreal to Monterrey. 1t will also
connect the Valley more closely with
tne rest Of the country.
This means more tourists and
more tourists mean more money
> and more Valley residents. Mo-
torists will not be able TO resist the
lire Of the Valley when they get
% close to 1t.
As they traverse this river road,
thew will make side trips and sight
eaeinr tours. They will like the
valley and its God-given opportun-
sties. Many will come back TO stay.
CERTAIN Better Business Bureaus
