Even now Tommy wasn't fully

tell him at once what was on her

To the Editor:

10 LLle EDITOR.
Safety is a subject upon which
there is always room for improve
ment. Fire Is a factor with which
we are always confronted. We all
try our best TO improve conditions
which will promote safety and al
the same time use the same eff
forts TO eliminate fire hazards.
Therefore after observations
made in Brownsville, I take this
means Of extending a suggestion
towards both Of the above men
toned items. Brownsville has a
first class fire department and
deserves the rating which II now
holds for excellent work. but in
making this record II has been
necessary TO get on the Job right
now and that requires speed be-
tween the fire station and the
point Of danger.
Now. while we have a 1881 Fire
Dept. We must not forget the fact
that the firemen drive through
streets that were laid out to ac-
commodate traffic Of a half century
or more ago. Blind corners and
heavy traffic on narrow streets
make driving a fire truck at high
speed a dangerous Job.
Therefore I would like TO make
the suggestion that the city install
a fire siren in a central location
whereby the heavy traffic could be
warned OF the approach OF the
fire dept. before the speeding trucks
arrive at the cross streets.
In this way the traffic officers
would know immediately that
there was a fire and could take are
OF traffic long before the siren on
the fire trucks we're heard. and A
centrally located siren would warn
all traffic az nee and in this way
avoid confusion.
Hoping this may be a means OF
helping our city towards pronot-
ing safety and be assistance 10 our
fire dept, ! remain
Yours truly

LETTERS to
the EDITOR

To the Editor:
/ have been reading with interest
your new items with reference to
advertising and boosting the Valley
as a summer resort and / believe
that your plans and efforts are
well taken. ! have been a citizen
and resident OF the Valley since
1913 and should, thereby, be in a
position TO pass upon the subject
or proposition from personal OBJ
servation and experience. Prior 10
coming TO the Valley, and since, I
nave had occasions 20 reside and
visit in a number Of resort towns
on the Pacific Coast, as well as
resorts in Colorado and other Md
Western states, and taking them all
IN all, l do not find any that will
Compare so favorabiy, from a gen.
eral standpoint, with the Valleys
climate.
1 note that Brownsville Is putting
on a campaign OF advertising in
the papers OF the northern cities
OF the state boosting its climate
as a summer resort. In conjunc-
ton with this, let me suggest that
We boost a little among ourselves
l mean here in the Valley-ad-
vocatlng that our summer vaca-
lions. If any we are able to take,
be taken at Point Isabel, Boca
Chica and the resort across from
Point Isabel on Padre Island. A
successful campaign Of this kim
will help u own resorts, keep our
vacation money at home, and en-
courage the building OF better ac-
commodations AT those places. All
OF which will 20 a long ways to-
ward attracting va-ionists from the
outside. A live wis1-awake sue
cessful resort is an attraction with
IN itself. and one or two good sum-
mer seasons will put rs on the map
as a resort. Instead Of a long tire
some vacation in some northern or
western resort, why not prevail
upon those who are contemplating
such trips to patronize our home
resorts and thereby keep our money
here and build up a home resort
industry?
This Is merely a suggestion 70 be
used Tor wh>-ever you may think
ii worth.
Yours very truly.
