THIRTY SIX YEARS ago Tom
Connally. cadet and student at
Baylor University, passed in review
before Lieut.. Col. Guy v. Henry.
Saturday morning Senator Tom
Connally stood beside Major Gen.
Guy Y. Henry, Jr.. while the 18th
Cavalry passed in review.
Major Gen. Guy v. Henry Is the
son OF the regular army officer
before whom Cadet Tom Connally
marched three and one half decades
ago.
The senator knows his military.
A cadet at Baylor. a buck private
in the Spanish-American war. a
captain in the World war.
Which explains why his ear IS al
ways opersto the ~ef-service man and
TO e~x-seryice mems organizations.
And which also explains why he
takes a personal interest in Fort
Brown and other military posts in
the United States.
WEsLACO NEWS acquires the
Valley Vigilante.
One newspaper now in Weslaco.
II two or more newspapers can
make money. In a town, that's fine.
If either OF the two cannot make
money. that's bad for the owner
and bad for the town.
Warren Kingsbury. publisher OF
the Vigilante. undecided what 10
do.
Here's our guess. he will stay In
the Valley. Lived here too long 70
move anywhere else and be happy.
r. M. Gilmore. publisher Of the
News, promises his old subscribers
and the new ones ne gains from the
vieilante, to give them a good
paper.
Unnecessary. Col. Gilmore. that
promise.
Impossible for you to get out
anything but a good paper.
II you don't know il. everybody
else does.
2 YOU CAN'T KEEP this Valley
3Ovn.
, Anything anybody else has We
have. and then some.
Even got us a wild man.
AT least they say he's wild.
OH Well
Might as veil be versatile.
HERE'S WHERE WE beat Judge
Dancy to a public espousal OF a
new road
Note We say public.
He has probably expressed the
same idea privately.
Try TO think Of a possible road
project he has not given a thought
But-thcre ought to be a road
on Brazos Island behind the beach
line. If that beach "a to be properly
developed.
Speeding automobiles and bathing
parties mix only with results disas-
trous to the bathing parties.
Take the autos off the beach.
There are beaches hat are race
courses. but Brazos Island or Padre
Island beaches are not in that
category.
THIS road will cost money.
Maybe we ought not 10 build II
now.
All rieht-but let's keep the idea
In mind.
Fl. BROWN. ABANDONED and
net abandoned a couple Of dozen
times on Saturday. IS IN the same
