experience of mine as ! visited my
old home IN Alabama that those
who knock this Valley are injuring
our section beyond words. and the
sad part OF IL all Is that most OF
them cannot tell you TO save their

San Benito and Harrington was
advocated by DR.. e. NJ. Cash. mayor
Of san Benito, who pointed out
that with the single exception OF
the Fort Worth-D Dallas pike. the
six mile stretch OF paving Is ira
versed by more traffic than any
stretch OF road in the state OF
Texas. And we want you, Judge
Daucy, and you, Judge Logan"
pointing out the county Judge and
the commissioner from san Benito.
ito see TO IL that the waves in the
present road are ironed out and
that we get a wider highway" ne
concluded.
Criticism OF their competitors IN
the same line OF business on the
part OF certain VALLEY firms was
roundly flayed by 3. NJ. Holland OF
Harrington, president OF the Valley
Better Business Bureau. who point
ed out that such tactics hurt bust
ness tn the Valley as a whole and
give visitors and prospective in
vsstors an unfavorable and an
untrue impression OF the section.
Ask United Program
II would like TO see the cham
bers OF commerce Of these TWIN
Cities unite in q program looking
toward the definite betterment OF
agricultural conditions around their
respective communities" was the
message delivered by John II. Lom-

more at home. and these two or
carnations should help them find

A parallel road between San
Benito and Harrington along the
Missouri Pacific tracks was advo-
Gated by County Judge oscar G.
Dancy. who pointed out that such
road, with a 200 foot right Of way.
could be made one Of the beauty
spots OF the state. with PARISHES on
both sides or the road.
Unity in seeking the Kennedy
county outlet and met, unity in
securing the extension Of paving
on the Military road through to
Laredo, and unity in development
Of the waterways or the Valley were
pointed out by the county Judge as
additional detectives toward which
the people Of the Twin Cities might
well strive.
