OF Benefits From

HARLINGEN, July 9-The pro-
tress of aviation In the past and that
expected OF it in the future were
related 10 the Harlingen KiwaniS
club Tuesday by Jack McDermOtt,
traffic officer Of the Mexican Air
ways.
Aviation will grow and prosper
Ia the same magic manner OF the
Valley" Mr.. McDermott declared.
predicting that this section has q
real opportunity TO acquire branch
factories and assembling plants Tor
alrplanes and airplane parts.
THE time Is bound 10 come" he
said, when the Valley will prove
a valuable adjunct to Randolph
Tield &C San Antonio destined TO be-
come perhaps the greatest aviation
center In the country.
1t seems to me" he continued,
that there is a real opportunity
down here for a real aviation school.
There isn't one anywhere near the
Valley, that is, no large and prop
erly equipped school.
Mr.. McDermott made II plain hat
he was not persuming TO tell the
members OF the Kiwanis club or
the people OF Harrington that they
should vote for the 5000, 1000 airport
bond issue on July Is. His pur-
pose, he explained. was merely 70

aviation expansion in and into the
Valley. Then, he said, If Harrington
should want to 60 after the air
business that Is bound to come, it is
I'D to the voters TO decide.
Air Transportation Grows
Pointing out that communication
and transportation long have been
considered the prime factors in the
development Of any community or
any country, he said that the Valley
is in a strategic position to benefit
from both OF them.
Deep water and lower freight
rates viii mean much, he predicted
but transportation by air, he as
serted, also is and will continue to
make rapid progress Miami, Fla,
and Brownsville, he pointed out. are
the two main points through which
most of the air traffic 70 Latin AM
erican countries now passes. Otners,
he said, are bound TO spring up.
The public is becoming Q and
more air-minded," the aviation Of
ticial declared, land every progress
sive town should keep its sails trim
med, ready TO keep step with the
progress of the times. Aviation and
Harrington should work and grow
together.
IF you should decide here in
Harrington" he continued, TO build
an airport, you should not expect
10 get your money back the next
year nor within the next five years.
That part OF IL must necessarily be
slow but it Il bound TO come just as
surley as more air travel and safer
air travel, although right now no
risks are run by those who ride over
air lines which are well established.
such precautions are taken as TO
make mishaps virtually impossible.

out, was little heard Of until five
factories making planes sprang up
there.
The Brownsville municipal air
port. he said. has become one or the
most important in the country. IL
is recognized everywhere as a good
one. he declared. and Brownsville
has been helped b. publicity and
business 1t has brought in.
Texas. which in years gone BY
had almost a monopoly on trade
with Mexico, gradually has been
letting part Of 1t slip. 1t car be
regained. he said, by use OF air
travel and transportation and by
concerted efforts TO devolp the prop
er spirit toward the peoples OF the
ether side of the Rio Grande not
only in Mexico but in the other
Pan-American countries.
Projects Outlined
Projects which he said Harrington
might 60 after, in the event 1t did
approve the bond issue and put in
an ~up-to-date airport, include a
large. modern, all-year-round avi-
alton school: airplane factories. and
factories or distributing plants for
airplane parts.
Mr.. McDermott was introduced
BY 3. M. Holland. who asserted ap-
prevail Of the airport bond issue
deserved the careful attention VI
every voter. He expressed the be-
lief that Harrington is in a strategic
position with respect to the devel-
opment OF every sort Of air travel
with countries on the other side
Cf the Rio Grande.
Pointing out that many smaller
towns in Texas and other states
already have modern airports, he
asserted that voters should think
long before voting against a project
which would allow the city to keep
pace with the progress OF the times.
