INDIFFERENCE Of supporters
has caused the loss Of many an
issue al the polls.
Indifference OF It's supporters is
Sthe only thing which can cause the
conservation district valuation TO
fail at the polls next Thursday.
Brownsville IS organizing to get
out the vote.
We believe other communities in
Cameron county will follow suit.
Other communities in Hidalgo
county will follow suit.
This district means much to the
future Of the Valley.
Means more to the future Of this
section than do many things about
which we can and do get highly ex
cited at times.
In fact, the valuation OF this
district might be said to mean the
future Of the Valley.
Let's hammer that fact home.
And resolve to vote ourselves.
And to get our neighbors TO vote.
EFFORTS ALONG the line Of
diversified farming continue.
Strawberry association announces
still more meetings.
Which should and will be attended.
For strawberry culture offers the
ideal opportunity.
The opportunity OF making fairly
important mJnev with a small out
lay.
On a relatively small piece Of land
Requiring very little labor as COM
pared 10 the 40s nd sos Of cotton,
for instance.
Intensive agriculture usually pays.
You may not ts planning 10 plant
Strawberries.
Suggest you attend the meetings,
ANYWAY.
Might change your mind.
If YOU don't II won't hurt to know
about Il.
WERE YOU INTERESTED IN
reading that the Brownsville school
district had on file over 1000 appli-
cations for 125 poSi--ns?
We were.
And we thought as We read-"Won-
der how many Of I. Gho are hold
ing a Job are as thankful IS We
should be that We have that iob?'
Most Of us in this Valley have Just
a whole lot to be thankful for.
And because we do have a job.
when thousands are roaming the
country looking for work is all the
more reason for putting Just a little
more into that Job we hold.
HOW THIS VALLEY has growni
School attendance In Brownsville
has increased a per cent in three
years.
And we know that the increase in
every other Valley town will show
as great II not a greater percentage.
EIGHT VALLEY GIRLS are given
an opportunity to continue their
studies in institutions Of higher edu-
cation.
Through the activities az the VAL
lev Federation OF Women's clubs.
Which has All educational loan
fund.
Amounts TO 5000.
And Is giving more and more VAL
aey girls the opportunities they would
~etherwise be denied.
Now that IS something.
Something for those who hold that
"woman's place is in the home and
that she should not be %gallivanting
about TO this and that club.
TAX ASSESSMENT figure5 are
going to tell an interesting story.
A story or development or Valley
cities in what is called a dull year.
CITY assessors over the Valley are
being surprised every day at the
mou or new building valuations
added 70 their rolls.
II will reach a respectable total
A surprising total.
EVER HEAR THE Old about
the farmers Of a certain section
anL how they attained their pros
porous condition by selling what
they can and what they can't they
can?
Was reminded OF il BY an ad-
vert!sement in a Mission paper.
OF n grocery store listing Valley
canned goods in stock.
And the list included canned
string beans, spinach. tomatoes.
turn.p greens. mustard. tomato
paste. tomato juice. Neets. carrots.
pink beans, grapefruit, grapefruit
Juice. black eye peas and Mission
Belle Marmalade.
Wonder how many o. Us who
have editorialiZed and theorized in
the past about the need or can
ming plants IN the Valley have in
sisted on our family larder being
