BACKING LACKED
|. FOR PAY BILL

RIVERDALE, Md, Jan. TO-
The advocation of an appropria'
ton for the maintenance Of the
Prince Georges county rescue
squad in the county firemen's bill
to be entered in the State legisla-
ture found no apparent backing
of the Prince Georges County Mu-
nicipal Officers Association at
their recent meeting here.
Advocated by Vice President E.
B. Hilley, the proposed amend
ment to the bill, calling for a
S per cent allotment of fire
company funds to each of the
19 companies to be used in
maintaining the county rescue
department, ran into a blank
wall of futile discussion.
In backing such action, Mayor
H. T. Willis, of Hyattsville, de-
clared that the municipal associ-
alton was advocating higher
taxes" He further declared that
the association should proceed
more slowly in matters of this
type.
A charity organization att this
time, it was pointed out that if
citizens were levied against for
squad maintenance they would
demand the services of the or
ganization much more than at
the present time, and that this
would ultimately mean the hir-
ing of full-time men.

DIVORCES CAIN
IN CHICAGO

CHICAGO, Jan. 10.-New high
records for divorces, deportations
and dryness-of weather-were
established by Chicago in 1880,
according to annual statistics
issued by public officials here
with the passing of the old year.
Divorces granted in Cook county
numbered 10,100, the highest
total in the history of the county.
In 1929, the total was 9,772.
On the other hand, the num-
ber of marriage licenses showed
a decline. The total. 37,172, was
the lowest in the past decade.
Continuing at the same rate,
officials predicted, divorces would
equal marriages by 1948.

CITIZENS URGE
RELIEF FOR
FRANCON|A
Charge 0VerCrowding and
Bad Ventilation in Building
Now Housing 100 Children

FAIRFAX, Va, Jan. 10.-The
Fairfax county school board, at
its January meeting held yester.
day, voted to urge the county
board of supervisors to place a
special tax levy in Mt. Vernon
district to raise $4,000 for the
purpose of erecting a modern
school building at Franconia.
This action on the part of the
board came as the result of nu-
merous complaints from residents
of the Mt. Vernon district in
which it was charged that the
school board was using funds
raised from taxes in that district
to improve schools in other dis
tricts while at Franconia an an
tiquated building, improperly
heated and ventilated, is being
used to house more than a hun
dred children.
Following the recommendations
Of a special committee appointed
TO investigate the charges, the
board plans to erect a modern
seven-room building at Franconia
to be ready for occupancy this
fall.
The board also plans to build
two other schools in the Mt
Vernon district. the sites for
these two schools to be selected
later. The necessary money will
be borrowed from the State edu.
cational. fund and will be repaid
from the special tax levy, provid-
ing the board of supervisors ap-
proves the measure.

Finds Depression
Prevents Divorces

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 10
Il. N. 81. - Increased unemploy-
ment slows up the divorce mill.
The more acute the unemploy-
ment situation grows in large
cities, the less divorce cases ap-
pear in court. Couples are not
seeking matrimonial separations
in the numbers they did during
good times.
Thus comments a San Fran
cisco attorney. whose legal prac-
tice is occupied to a large extent
in divorce cases. He believes mar
ried couples are thinking twice
these days before starting divorce
proceedings.

Welcome Visitors!

1t is high time that the Valley in particular and
south Texas in general became tourist conscious.
For years the chambers of commerce and newspapers
and land developers of this section have been boosting and
preaching our land as a potential tourist center, and dur
ing the past few years we have seen the promise Of full
fllment of those prophecies.
Tourists are coming to the Valley and to south Texas
in ever-increasing numbers. The past summer and winter
saw high marks established, and all indications point to
the breaking of those records during the present fall and
winter months.
And yet, the Valley as a whole does not seem to re-
alize that the tourist trade is here and is rapidly becom-
ing one OF our greatest business assets.
We pick up the paper and read that so MANY visitors
registered at the chamber of commerce during the month;
we note passing automobiles bearing licenses from nrac.
tically every state in the Union, and somehow or other we
fail to realize that there are visitors in our midst.
The average citizen, which means all Of us. is not
struck with the fact that strangers are in our midst, and
we all Of us fail in those little courtesies which cost SO
little in effort to give and which mean so much in creating
goodwill towards our section.
That good old western custom of greeting every
passer-by on the streets should be revived in the Valley.
You know, yourself, how at home it makes you feel to be
greeted with a cheerful "Howdyi' as you walk down
main street. Just imagine how at home it would make
the visitor from a thousand miles away feel to be greeted
by every one he met in the course of the day.
First impressions will stay with one, and every visitor
who comes to the Valley this winter is a potential resident
OF the Valley. Make him feel at home, and the chances
OF his becoming a permanent resident are increased many
times over.
We would like to see uniform visitors courtesy cards
used by every Valley community, cards to be attached to
every automobile bearing an out-of-the-Valey license
just as soon as ii is parked on any of our Valley streets.
Calling attention to our hundreds Of miles Of paved
roads, to our many points of interest, these cards should
advise caution In driving, notify of traffic regulations, but
above all should carry a most cordial greeting to the Low
er Rio Grande Valley of Texas.
We cannot help but believe that a most favorable re-
action to the Valley and to Valley folk would result from
our visitors finding these cards Of greeting attached to
the steering wheels of their autos.

Walking the Channel

Karl Naumestnik, an Austrian schoolmaster, aston
ished the world the other day when he walked across the
English channel as nonchalantly as most people walk
across the street. He was wearing water skis, shaped
like canoes. For eight hours he trod on the waves, with
all the assurance that Peter had in his first few steps on
a Galilean sea.
This invention is interesting because it i in such direct
antithesis to the modern trend. Most inventions tend to do
away with physical exercise. People are riding instead
of walking. But the water skis demand exercise. For
this reason maybe they won't be very popular. A canoe is
so much more comfortable.
