Valley citrus fruit 10 Europe will
probably be made during the COM

ton given out here BY Fred c,

Mr.. Rogers spent several days
this week in the Valley. comforting
with chamber OF commerce secre-
taries and citrus fruit growers and
shippers.
Preparations Made
IN talking over the situation with
officers OF the Brownsville Cham
Der OF Commerce he told Of prep
arationS being made BY William
Pagen. secretary Of the Maritime
association Of the port OF Corpus
Christi. to act as broker in ship
ping Valley citrus fruit 10 Europe
during the coming season.
Pagen has conferred with the
operators of boats, ant said that
he has arranged for a boat TO come
to Corpus Christi II as much as
5000 boxes OF Valley citrus fruit
can be secured. This amount will
probably be secured, NJ. Rogers
said.
Although several shipments OF
Valley citrus 10 Europe have been
made in the past. they were al
small. experimental shipments. and
this will be the first commercial bid
for markets in Europe.
There are plenty OF trade OPP
portunities for Texas citrus fruit
in Europe Mr.. Rogers said
For the past two years our
department S been doing investi-
cation work in Paris, London. Berlin
an1 other parts of Euror-. and has
found that there is a growing mar
ket for grapefruit-and for Texas
grapefruit in particular.
Valley Should Move
IN M opinion the Valley should
take steps at once N, reach these
markets with fruit, and 10 hold
them and enlarge them, preparing
for the time when this section will
have large quantities OF citrus
available for export"
Mr.. Rogers was considerably in
terested in the Brownsville deep
water port project. and said in his
opinion Brownsville will become an
important shipping center for
perishables. as well for cotton,
and produce from and 10 Mexico
when this deep water port is COM

He discounted the idea prevalent
In many sections that the Valleys

ONE MUST KNOW
HOW TO DRIVE

To be a good driver one must
know how to drive. Much trouble
would be saved if everyone under
stood how to handle his car and was
familiar with the ordinary rules of
the road and the special regulations
of his State and city. The traffic
rules of the community simply rep
resent an agreement on the part of
the people of the community that
they will drive in a certain way,
under specified conditions.
Safety Sally" speaking for the
Delaware Safety Council, says:
:"Consider the other fellows safe
ty as well as yours. Be sure to stop
and then look both ways before en-
tering u through street or highway.
Clean windshields and windows give
a clear view ahead, at the sides and
to the rear. You can't drive with
safety to other motorists and your
self unless you can see clearly
where you are going. Blind corners
are very dangerous. You never know
what may start out at you. Be sure
to. approach them slowly. Your horn
may be helpful as a warning but
don't go full speed ahead depending
on the horn; the other fellow may
be dong the same thing. When back
ing, signal other cars and look back
to see where you are going. Safety
to everyone demands that you drive !
slowly and keep to the right on
bridges. Many bridges not built for |
modern high speed vehicles are not |
safe at speeds permissible else
where. Therefore, be sure to oh
serve special speed limits posted on
bridges.
"Alcohol and gasoline don't mix
well. Sometimes they give too great
speed and other times the vehicle
does not steer well. Quite frequent
ly brakes fail to work, in fact, all
sorts of things go wrong which the
driver is likely to blame on the car
or the other fellow. Really, the
fault is in the one little drink which
interfered with the quick coordina-
tion of eyes, ears, hands and feet
and made him unable to act quickly
and accurately in pinch. If you
must take a drink, take it at home
and you won't interfere with the
safety of other motorists and pedes-
.rianS on highways"
