TEXAS filters WINGING TO TOKYO
IN OUR
VALLEY

VALLEY CITIES are finding that
charters framed back some ten or
fifteen years ago are decidedly out
OF date.
Brownsville has framed, through
q charter commission. a number Of
amendments to its city charter on
which the voters will pass judgment
or August ~.
In Hidalgo County the city Of
Mercedes has a charter commission
which has finished its work.
Within q short time the voters
Of that city will have the same OPP
p~ortunity as Is given the people Of
Brownsville. that OF bringing the
rules and regulations which govern
It's municipality up 70 date.
Since the charters OF most OF Dur
Valley cities were first adopted, the
legislature has met many times.
vstate laws on which many OF our
municipal rules and regulations are
based have gone by the way In many
instances.
New privileges have been granted
cities.
We should bring our city regula-
tons up 70 date. or. as Is the case
with the city Of Mercedes, revise

MERCEDES NEwS-TRIBUNE in
It's last weeks issue pictured with
well deserved pride the A. Fl. lSelo
cup recently awarded that paper for
being adjudged the best weekly
Newspaper in Texas.
The Brownsville Herald has said
once. and says again. that the honors
bestowed upon the News-Tribune
and the Mission Times reflect Gre
dft not only on those papers, the
communities in which they are pub

The reading public outside OF your
own community gains its impress
sions Of your community BY its
newspapers. and the Valley may rest
easy. represented as IL is by the
newspapers which carry its message
TO the four OF the globe.
TOOK THE VALLEY q long time
to attempt to capitalize on its
beaches.
How the attempted capitalization
has taken may be seen by figures
released by the Brownsville Cham

And BY estimates from Port Isa.

wish him luck in his plans for a
rehabilitation OF the old Buena Vista

BANK DEPOSITS IN Browns
yiue took 3 hike Of S334.000 In the
three months between March Is and
June 80.
Casting all joking aside about you
and I not having any Of the increase,
that's good news.
No community whose bank de-
posts sho an increase and whose
postal receipts ere on the up and go
has any cause for worry.
Don't ask US why. especially when
we personally have nothing TO show
for 10 but ~ Is SO.
Statisticians have figured 1t out,
and who are we TO doubt the word
OF one Of those fellows.

OF good fellows. standard bearer in
his profession. was honored by VAL

District Of Kiwanis. that service
club honored itself by placing Bob
Storey as It's district head.
