IN OUR
VALLEY
BY C. NJ. HALL

THE sound OF crashing cars and
jingling glass is again heard
over the Valley, and as has al
ways been the case, and sometimes
seems forever will be the case. wo-
men scream and men groan and
grim Death reaches in a shadowy
hand and takes his toll Of human
lives.
At the time this is being written
two weekend deaths have already
been reported and reporters have
information OF other wrecks, details
Of which they are seeking.
II is the Monday morning shadow
of death, which every week throws
numbers into mourning the loss Of
their dear ones, a costly tribute TO
narrow roadways, congested traffic.
speed, or carlessness, OF whatever
may be the cause.
Whatever the u the price is
too dear to pay. Our peace officers
cannot be held responsible Tor the
entire checking OF this toll we VAL
leyiteS pay. The thing checks itself
back TO us. What are we going 70
do about it?
THIS is in no manner said TO the
families who today are suffer-
ing the pangs Of an unfillable
void in their hearts and households.
Today they are paying too heavy a
price, whatever the cause. for the
accidents. II Is said to the other
Valleyites who next weekend will
90 out TO face the same hazards.
II We could only get the idea firmly
ingrained that the way Of gasoline
is along the brink OF the grave.
maybe we can get them eve to
challenge its chasm.

Brownsville will be flashed out over
the wires Of the nation.
CROWDS literally swarmed on the
L, Valley beaches yesterday. The
gain in the use of these outing
places makes n wonder II the i'm
provement Of the roadway TO Boca
Chica is to be pointed TO as the
cause or If the Valley as a whole
Is just awakening TO the great
pleasure TO be derived from outings
in the water and along its edges.
Some day these same beaches will
prove one OF the Valleys greatest
assets in inducing both tourists
trade and the settlement Of the
Valleys undeveloped tracts.
THE last few days Of the Demo-
cratic race for nomination is
upon us, with ali hands in the
governors race asking that the gates
be thrown open for personalities.
This being the case many ? hot
blast will be fired from the stump
during the coming days. In fact
n gathers now that more brick
bats are being heaved than the pa
pers operating under the libel laws
OF Texas can print.
THE great thing left for all Of us in
the Valley is to make it a point
for every man and every woman
to vote. Then whate r the outcome
ii will represent the wishes Of the
people, and the losers should abide
by 'the will Of the majority
