this morning.
First, OF course. are several notes
Of varying length about sesbania.
Then comes q neatly printed
pamphlet OF the rules and ~regula-
tons OF the Shary Yacht club at
Port Isabel
o. K.-a good club, q fine thing
for the Valley.
Here's a letter from @. Van Am
Der Brown, M. D.. % vTaverly Drive
Detroit.
Says DR.. Brown--"I wish to tel
you how much I enjoy your Herald,
AS a daily readsr 1t appeals to me
as being worthy OF a city several
times the size OF the city and COM
munity It serves"
\ That's no way to make Us mad,
doctor.
VI DIR. Brown. commenting on a Fly
ing doctor" story which appeared
recently in the Herald reminds Us
that DR.. Arvcl r. Ponton. guides his
airplane every two weeks from r.
Worth to Ednburg.
NExT-A letter from "A Reader,
who challenges US TO print his epis-
tie.
Sorry, but anonymous letters can
no be printed in the Herald.
"A Reader" wants Valley utility
rates investigated.
Believe the Valley League o.
Municipalities has beaten him tc
it.
Alright-here comes a Mere
Woman who queries Must we be
pessimists?"
Advises Us TO look around. Here
Is contentmenr. happiness and
peace-enjoy it before you really
begin 10 believe al this bunk about
depression"
Good advice, say We.
Raw S. Wait OF Brownsville COM
ments on the recent rise in the r.
yer.
Wants to know why our giant
floodway and the Arroyo have moi
been opened to flood waters during
the rises Of recent years.
we believe there IS a misconcep-
ton obtaining regarding these
floodways.
There Is no such thing as open
ing them. II the river rises high
enough, the water comes out ntS
the floodway. II It does net ris'
high enough. it does not come out
Know that IS true about the HI
dalro floodway. from which comes
the water which goes down the Ar
royo.
And Judge Dancy tells us ths
xamr IL true about the Cameron
floodways.
AND HERE'S another anonymou'
letter.
Folks. please get in the habit o
signing your communications 70 th'
papers.

rft be published. but we do like x

the Valley on which We commente'
recently does more good to Mexicl
