TIMELY WARNING is that
given by Fire Chief Sarran. no
doubt heartily echoed By every fire
chief IN the Valley.
a safe and san Fourth Of July
does not mean the Limitation OF
Asure.
II does not mean that the Riddles
should not have Just the same old
good time that they expect.
It does mean that parents keep
q watchful eye over both the kids
and themselves.
A finger blown off, a badly burn

FROM UP IN zAPATA county
comes the word that that county
is asking for state aid on State
Highway No. 4, the Military Road.
Valley counties should and VIII
give Zapata county al possible CO.
operation.
Paving or the Military Road
through Zapata would give this
section immediate access 10 Laredo.
The present road Is good at times.
When excessive rain falls, as on
Saturday and Sunday. IL IS impaSs-
able and travellers are forced TO
make a wide detour by way OF Alice

between the two has been SO dill

Completion OF the Military Road
between Brownsville and Laredo as
a paved highway will furnish a
tourist loop which should prove Of
inestimable benefit to both cities.

BIGGEST SCOOP a sports editor

League schedule right!
For the past week or 50 We have
heen the innocent victim OF a few
wIsecracks over the telephone As
