1t Is Park Time in
Valley Growth
II Is getting park time in the Valley.

BY this IL Is meant that IL Is time to make the idea OF city parks
a major item in our development scheme.
The bigger q city grows. the more important It's parks. become. The
time to get parks Is early in the development stage when the price
is not 20 high
With this in mind, 1t Is well worth the time from q financial stand
point, and from o viewpoint OF civic pride ard human interest, not
only to ponder such matters. but II Is time to take action.
The Brownsville Herald believes in parks. At the same time it has
found that one Of the finest ways to get a park is for some benevolent
citizen of means to donate IL. 1t will stand as a monument to him and
a JOY TO the generations coming after HMM the land where he
acquired his wealth. Nearly every town In the Valley has such a ci-
zen. Properly approached he will step forth and do that magnificent
thing.
"A representative OF The Herald has already approached one man
for a park for McAllen. He replied that 1T is a good idea and 1
may do that very thing" Let's find some others.

seven millions out Of work, scattered

Parks are the places where the

HOLLYWOOD, August 20 (N.A.N.A.).
lion CLANCY, true man, true friend,
great man, we greet you've bid you
farewell-we welcome you home"
A grief-stricken group heard Chap
lain Dyer of the United States Marines
read q simple service in quiet chapel
in Los Angeles yesterday afternoon. The
group which listened was such G. any
well loved person might have called
forth to say farewell. Outside surg
ing mob filled the street and housetops
and the adjacent. ways. For them a
great actor was Vdead. Those inside
knew that they had lost q great friend.
No funeral service as tragic has ever
entered the annals of the cinema pro-
fession The men who have worked
with CLANCY believed he did not know
that he had fatal malady. Yet
Wednesday Sam and Jack Feinberg, his
studio musicians of the old silent days,
recalled a note he had once slipped into
the inside pocket of their violin case,
with the admonition that they were to
remember it when he had gone.
The message was a list of the things
Lon CLANCY wanted played at his fune-
raj. Exhausted and grief-stricken, the
two tried to carry out his wishes, play
ing on the little studio organ the pal
of Mine" which was ever his favortte
piece.
Before the silver-satin casket guard
of honor of United States Marines
stood. They had kept vigil there since
death claimed him. Gen. Smedley But
Ter had wired Lon CLANCY on the day
he took the first blood TRANSMISSION, Get
well, old man. Every Marine in the
world is pulling for you" Every heart
in the cinema profession was pulling for
Lon CLANCY also And that little group
which constituted his fami1y-his wife,
Hazel; his son, Creighton, and his step
mother, Flora Chaney--believed that q
miracle might happen even to the last.
AS the line of mourners filed past the
easket to take last look at the quiet,
