IN OUR
VALLEY

v ALLE Il
INDIFFERENCE OF supporters
has caused the loss OF many an
issue az the polls.
| Indifference OF its supporters is
the only thing which can cause the
conservation district valuation 70
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 Of things about
which we a and do get highly ex-
cited at times.
In fact, the valuation OF this
district might be a 20 mean the
future OF the Valley.
Let's hammer that fact home.
And resolve to vote ourselves.
And to get our neighbours 70 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 money with a small cut
lay.
On a relatively small piece Of land.
Requiring very little labor as COM
pared 10 the 4Os and 80s of cotton,
for instance.
Intensive agriculture usually pays.
You NAV not te planning to plant
strawberries.
Suggest you sttend the meetings,
anyway.
Might change your mind.
II YOU don't It won't hurt to know
about II.
WERE YOU INTERESTED IN
reading that the Brownsville school
district had on file over 1000 appll-
cations for 125 positions?
We were.
And we thought as We read-'Won-
der how many Of u Who are hold
ing a lob are as thankful as We
should be that We have that job?'
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 grown!
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 q greater percentage.
EIGHT VALLEY GIRLS are given
en- opportunity 70 continue their
studies IN Institutions 81 higher edu-
cation.
Through the activities Of the Val
lev Federation Of vomen's clubs.
Which has AZ educational loan
fund.
Amounts to $1,000.
And is giving more and more VAL
fAey girls the opportunities they would
~Stherwise be denied
Now that IS something.
Something for those who hold that
"woman'S place Is u the home and
that she should not Be gallivanting
about 70 this and that club.
TAX ASSESSMENT figures are
going 10 tell an interesting story.
A story OF development or Valley
cities III what is called a dull year.
CITY assessors over the Valley are
being surprised every 6ay at the
amount OF new building valuations
added TO their rolls.
II will reach q respectable total.
A surprising total
EVER HEAR THE old one about
the farmers Of a certain section
and how they attained their pros
porous condition by selling what
they can and what they can't they
camp
Was reminded OF II BY an adj
yertiSement in a Mission paper.
OF n grocery store listing Valley
canned goods in stock.
And the list included canned
string beans. spinach, tomatoes,
turnip greens, mustard. tomato
paste, tomato juice. Neets. carrots.
pink beans. grapefruit. grapefruit
Juice. black eve peas and Mission
Belle Marmalade.
Wonder how many OF 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
stocked with Valley cared goods?
