Al Roads Lead To Port Isabel

On Tuesday Of this week all Valley roads very
properly lead to Port Isabel. where, under the be-
nign auspices Of the governor OF Texas, the newest
harbor on the Gulf Of Mexico will be dedicated to
service.
The day Will be an official holiday in the cities Of
San Benito and Port Isabel, and an unofficial hon-
day In the other Valley cities. For the population Of
this section may be expected to turn out en- masse
TO see with their own eyes the new harbor, the first
cargo bearing ship to take on a cargo from the
Valley. and to hear Governor James V. Alfred.
Sentimental interest that attaches to Port Isabel,
Ctnl Point Isabel in the eyes Of Valley oldtimers)
will never be lost.
It was around Point Isabel that the Valleys early
fights for deep water were centered, and even If
other deep water projects have offshot from the ORR
ginal project Of the Valley. the attachment to the
old Point" still fingers in the hearts and minds Of
every valley resident.
Brownsville. along with San Benito and Port Isabel,
has an especial interest /. the Port Isabel develop
ment. To be sure, San Benito and Port Isabel are
paying the bills. but it was in Brownsville that the
impetus was given that kept alive a deep water
project for Brazos Santiago, and even now the
Brownsville and the Port Isabel projects are linked
together in the eyes Of the United States government
as the "Brazos Harbor" development.
We have our Port Isabel port, our Brownsville port
and may have our Harlingen port, and the key to
them all is Brazos Santiago Pass. Were it not for
Brazos Santiago, none Of these ports would be pos
sible.
Linked with the Valleys struggle for deep water
during the past half century are the names Of the
foremost citizens who have lived in this section dur
ing that period. To attempt to name any Of them
would create an invidious distinction. would do injus-
tice to literally hundreds OF our Valley citizens.
OF course, whenever deep water in the Valley is
mentioned, one naturally thinks Of Dave OBrien and
Commodore Cobolini, two men who had the vision.
each In his own way, and who really kept alive the
project when it appeared that all had been lost.
But credit has been given many times over to all
who helped in the fight. It is most fitting now that
the Valley give vent to a hilarious enthusiasm, that
bands play and shouts ring the welkin. For deep
water Is here. A cargo Is being loaded at Port Isabel
The fight has been wonl

and OF HygeiA. the Health Magazine
Twenty years ago. doctors had little or no encour-
agement for persons who were stricken with infan-
tile paralysis.
Medical progress toward the solution Of this health
problem has been moving along rapidly. however, and
today the outlook for recovery is very hopeful. In
fact. 1t is not unreasonable to believe that. In the
not too distant future, the disease will be brought un-
der satisfactory control.
Today, the death rate from infantile paralysis
varies. Sometimes one-tenth Of those who are af-
fected die; sometimes as many as one-sxth.
Epidemics Of infantiEe paralysis vary as well. The
disease Is much more dangerous to infants under one
year Of age. and persons over IS. than 1t is to child
rem between these ages. Fortunately. the disease is
very rare among infants.
About one-fOurth Of those who develop p~aralyzed
limbs recover almost completely. The rest. about
rs per cent. are left with paralysis Of various types.
The worst cases occur in children under 10 years
Of age. Apparently the higher the fever during the
acute attack. the more likely IS there to be perma-
nent paralysis.
When the condition is discovered, II is customary
nowadays to inject into the patient blood serum from
a person who has recovered from the disease or that
from a normal being. It is also attempted, in some
cases, to use the vaccines which have recently been
made by macerating the spinal cords Of monkeys
after they mad been mnocuIaUed with mfantue para
lysis.
Some physicians are convinced that the serum, Il
given very early in the disease, perhaps even before
paralysis sets in, Is OF great value In preventing q
physical defect. This method IS stil in experimental
stage. but in view OF the great threat which infantile
paralysis actually is, most physicians are inclined
to use the serum.
The completeness Of recovery from paralysis de-
ponds also to a large extent on what Is done.
In the first place, nothing should be done until
the severe infection begins to subside. Then heat
may be applied to the limbs, and there may be mas
sage to benefit the action Of the muscles.
Fortunately, orthopedic surgery has developed a
number Of excellent operations. transportation Of
tendons and muscles. and modifying joints make II
possible for some WHO have been crippled to walk
satisfactorily.
II Is quite usual for the ~paralyzed limb 70 waste
away and become smaller and weaker than The nor
NAL limb. Sometimes. when a leg becomes shorter,
there are attempts to transplant bone to make 1t
longer, and there is another operation which makes
the FORMAL leg shorter, 50 that t viii equal the par
alyzed leg.

Two-Way Trade Grows

There are many roads that lead to prosperity, and
we shall probably have to follow half q dozen OF
them at once. before We get through. One Of them.
evidently, win be the revival OF foreign trade through
the blateral trade agreement.
The American Chamber OF Commerce In Havana
has Just issued figures to show the benefits Of the
Cuban-American trade agreement which was signed
last year.
Cuban imports Of American products, it Is pointed
out, have risen greatly. Purchases Of steel products
are up 81 per cent; Of agricultural machinery, 3l
per cent; Of food stuffs from 100 to 800 per cent: Of
cigarets, from 800 to 1000 per cent. On the other
hand. Cuban sales to the Unite Estates have tripled
and Cuban economic conditions are said TO be bet
ter than at any time since the world depression start
ed.
II trade agreements can do things ike that. don't
we need more Of them?
