That's not our statement.

market division chief.
Who Is in charge Of the inspec-
ton In this area.
Good news, that Is.
And we hope that our growers
and shippers will let the good work

newspapers Of the Valley, were
collected in one volume-it would

miss<Qn is still on the job.

PARENT-TEACHER Associations
UP and down the Valley are buck
ling down to work.
Teacher and parent working In
harmony TO promote the best IN
terests of our school systems.
Giving the parent a better in
sight into the workings OF the
schools where their kids are being
exposed to an education
And giving the teacher a better
insight into the problems Of the
parents whose childen come under
their tutelage.
Fine things, these associations.
Worthy OF more support than
they are getting.
Doing excellent work and achiev-
ing excellent results.
AND THE THUD of the pigskin
is heard in the land.
We are glad TO sec the football
season open.
eProbably the average ~'grown-up"
dkHgfs as big a kick, II not a big
ger, from the first kickoff than
does the average student.
But let's not forget that our
schools are placing all of the en-
phasis on football.
In Brownsville and other Valley
schools our children are being
taught to play.
Not alone on the gridiron. but in
the gymnasiums and on the field
they are being given proper exer-
cises.
Muscles are being developed.
Healthy bodies in which to house
clear thinking minds will result.

For the Magic Valley
"There Is a lt--on for other com-

the cooperation that exists among
the cities Of the Rio Grande VAL

the next convention OF the Texas
Oklahoma Kiwanis district theg
were aided by the delegates from
all other cities in The Magic VAL

defeating such formidable rivals as
Houston and Amarillo.
~In the Rio Grande Valley each
city is endowed with a vast supply
OF civic patriotism. but when there

their shoulders to the wheel. This
securing of the Kiwanis convention
for a comparatively small city Is
the only one example Of the way
they are getting the job done: they
are not for Harlingcl, or Browns
Vile. or San Benito. or Mission;
they are for ''the Valley.
