White Bluffs School Notes
Written By Students
Written By Students.

A letter received this week from
Nellie Hammer tells us that she is
attending school at the Immaculate
Heart" a private school for girls in
Los Angeles. She wishes to be re-
membered to all her friends and says
she likes her school very much and
the girls who attend it.
"What terrific noise is that we hear
every noon coming from the gym
nasium," asked one student of an
other. "Such caterwauling and racket,
1 never heard before in all my born
days." cts only the orchestra and
opperetta caste practicing for their
show, replied the other. Sorry you
did not turn out?" Sour grapes!
We are very proud of our school
mate, Dudley Williamson, 1880, who
has made the school Orchestra and
Pep Band at Whitman where he en-
rolled a few weeks ago. Dudley has
always BEEN musical and has helped
a lot with the High School Orchestra
when in school here. Here are our
best wishes to Dudley, may he con-
tinue to shine. Dudley has also been
pledged to the Sigma Chi Fraternity.
Mr.. Atkinson has his boys out on
the lawn for their gymnasium work
these nice days. There are going to
be some fine stunts for their program,
Judging by the workouts we watched
surreptitiously from the school house
windows.
Monday the freshmen came to school
feeling that they really were full fledg-
ed members of the White Bluffs High
School. After that tremendous initia-
ton and party Friday night, how
could they feel any other way! The
last period they proved it by washing
up the party dishes, cups and spoons

to our disgust, when we were fresh
men we had to wash all of them), and
help to put the gymnasium in order
again.

chaser i'm Pittsburc. who would
gladly give that amount for the
land.
The meeting had no heat ex-
Kibited during the horse trading,
but much good will joking went on
rs to the value of the land. Some
Of the chamber Of commerce repre-
sentatives declared they had once
owned lots there and let them pass,
not desiring them at any price.
Mr.. Dickinson countercd this by
saying that il the member still de-
sired the lot and could locate il. he
would make the speaker a present

Land Cost $500
Question of what was actually
paid for the tract involved arose.
Mr.. Dickinson said that he had APP
proximately $25 600 tied up in per-
sonal cash there. that he has paid
out since lac boughtit. This was
with reference to the entire 1900
acres owned there. Actual cost of
purchase OF the land Mr.. Dickin-
son quoted as 1000 in a tax sale,
and a later payment OF 5000 10

improvements made on the is
land since the purchase are q ca
sino and bath houses in the way OF
buildings, which the navigation
committee claims are in no way af-
fected, or touched By the 135 acres
required by the government. and
which do not enter into the nego-
tiationS referred TO.
After approximately two hours Of
discussion, with the committee and
the land $3.50 apart. the
committee made a final offer OF
500 per acre which was refused
and the committee said it would re-
port back to the chamber the dead
lock in effect. and recommend con-
demnation proceedings.
This was done and q. A. Rosen-
al last night said that attorneys
OF the navigation committee have
been instructed to proceed with
condemnation proceedings.
When 1t became known on the
streets OF Brownsville that delay Is
threatening the port projects. presi-
dents Of the civic clubs OF the city
held a meeting to discuss what
those bodies can do toward assist
ing in obviating any further delay

AT tbs meeting it was decided 70
call meetings OF their respective
boards OF directors Monday and ask
concerted action in this behalf.
SO far the work OF the naviga-
ton committee has been without an
obstacle until the purchase Of the
tip OF Padre Island became involv-
ed in a controversy.
Members of the navigation COM
mittee lest night held that the pur-
chase Of the tip of Padre Island
stood as a pivot TO the purchase Of
the entire rights-of-way. One pur-
chase directly hinges on the price
paid for the Padre Island tip.
So important is this purchase
considered that the navigation com
mission IN addition to their offer OF
O100 per acre agreed that should
they pay any more than this price
for similar land that they will raise
the Padre Island price TO an equal
VmGunt.

be time for a change of manage
ment, not of ownership.
BROWNSVILLE has placed itself
N on the map as one Of the most
important CT all International
airports of the country. The air
port surely was q vise step. II will
go a great way towards assisting
this ambitions little city to achieve
Its destiny as the metropolis OF the
Lower Rio Grande. IN a short time
Brownsville will be rs populous as
or ven surpass. the city OF FL Paso
at the other end Of the Rio Granda
IN Texas.
NUT this thing Of city building is
never ending. Don't think you
have done enough. when an
airport is accomplished. There are
so many things that need doing TO
push a city TO the front. Every
growing city in this Valley realizes
this. Already the country is as
founded at the wonderful progress
Of this part of Uncle Sans domain,
which only a few years ago was al
most u~nthought of outside of the
consciousness OF its own people.
The privilege Of developing and
promoting the further growth of
the Valley is one all Of us should
value. But it will keep us on the
jump to do 1t justice. Don't 60 to
sleep on the Job.
THERE is one more message I
would give to every reader:
Think for yourself. Don't be
a sheep, letting some other fellows
do your thinking for you. Read.
Post Y, irself on public questions.
They may concern vitality your well
fare. And think Of the welfare of
your neighbor, too. Only by a broad
and liberal cooperation on the part
of all of our Valley men and women
can we achieve the greatest devel-
opment that is possible. But. let
us take care as we read and think
for ourselves to discriminate be-
tween the real facts and the spac-
ious propaganda stuff that too Of
ten gets into the space filters Of the
press under the grise of newS.
I thank you. Mr.. Editor.
