The Valley In The Headlines

The Valley has been in the headlines of the press
Of the nation for the past several weeks, and the kind
Of headlines we have been making are such as to draw
attention to this section Of the world. and the right
kind of attention, at that.
Through the medium Of the various press services
the United States has been told OF the establishment
Of an l8-hour plane service between Chicago and
Mexico City, via Brownsville. Again have headlines
told Of the routing through Brownsville OF the special
trains carrying Rotarian delegates to Mexico City.
Washington dispatches have told Of the efforts be-
ing made to secure a few million or so to complete the
flood control works being carried on to fruition
through the medium Of the International Boundary
commission. Other dispatches from the capital Of
the nation have told Of the West bill. with its pro-
visions for a treaty with Mexico and its appropria-
ton Of some 10 millions for flood control and water
conservation construction.
Need Of Brownsville and Port Isabel ports for an
additional feet Of water has been proclaimed, again
out Of Washington. as our navigation districts have
their pleas presented to the Board Of Army Engineers.
Decision Of the American General Tank, Storage
and Terminal company to locate on the Brownsville
turning basin has made" the press wires. as did the
decision OF the Texas company to locate here.
From Austin the wire services carried the account
Of the hearing before Commissioner Splawn Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission. a hearing which
saw railroads and Valley interests united to secure
lower freight rates for the section.
AL of these news items, and many more. have APP
peared in newspapers from Los Angeles to New York.
and the beauty OF all this publicity is that it has
heralded a constructive era for the Lower Rio
Grande Valley Of Texas. Stories Of accomplishment
and Of further desired accomplishment have become
the order of the day for the Valley. That such
stories are far beyond the usual mere publicity blurbs
Is evidenced by the carrying Of them by press asso-
citation wires.
People Of the nation are getting the idea that the

With thousands of building craftsmen idle, with

seems that concentration on this problem would do
more than anything else to help relieve depression

Will The Citrus Industry Speak?

within a short 80 days. the Valley will be shipping
grapefruit.
This period Of time is none too long for the citrus
industry Of the valley to utilize in preparation for
n citrus advertising campaign. If such a campaign
is to be launched for the l935-1936 season.
Some Of our citrus leaders seem to have an idea
that launching Of an advertising campaign consists
merely in the decision to advertise, the selection Of
an advertising agency and the telling OF the agency
to begin advertising. Campaigns that sell things are
not launched in any such d~esultory or careless man
ner.
The s0-day period remaining before the first Of
October is time enough for the preparation Of an eff
fective campaign, but allows no extra days.

OF all the pains and aches suffered by human be-
ings, the most serious, probably, are sudden, acute
pains in the abdomen. This Is especially true II the
victim is a child. When these pains occur. a doctor
should be called at once.
Such pains very frequently indicate appendicitis.
Here is a typical example. A child, 4 or 5 years old,
suddenly quits playing, runs TO its mother, complains
Of pains in the "tummy," and wants to lie down.
The child may be nauseated. and accordingly vomit.
The pain may vanish in a little while, only to crop
up again when the child returns to its play. II the
doctor is summoned, and takes the childs tempera-
ture, it will be found to have a slight fever.
A count Of the white cells in the blood should be
taken, and thorough examination made Of the abb
domen in the region Of the appendix.
In such cases, prompt treatment is OF utmost i'm
portance. Formation Of pus and consequent rup-
ture of the appendix. causing the pus to pour into the
abdominal cavity. may result in a death. whereas
the prompt surgical operation needed to avoid this
danger is a simple one and seldom results fatally.
Appendicitis isn't the only reason for abdominal
pains. Inussuception the drawing Of one part Of
a bowel into another = may be responsible. This re-
suits in complete blocking Of the bowel. which might
become severe, result in gangrene and eventual
death.
1t is important that immediate steps be taken to
remove from the ~intestines the part that has been

the bowels.
The intestines. however. may be blocked in other
ways. In any event. though, earliest possible dag
noSis is necessary. because this Is a serious condition.
Its sudden onset is indicated BY a severe pain In
the middle Of the abdomen. accompanied by vomit-
ing. The pain is like that Of collie.
At first the bowel may suddenly empty itself, but
after this emptying. further action does not occur.
The blocking may result from a band or adhesions,

ton OF worms in the bowel.
Peritonitis. brought on by severe inflammation Of
the membrane which lines the abdominal cavity, Is
the most serious condition that can occur in the abb
domen. The infection may come from within the
bowel or from some other cause.
P~eritonitis is always associated with a high fever
and severe prostration, and with it. too, prompt ac-
ton is Of utmost Importance If life is to be saved.
