BROWNSEVILLE- Two members
of the Brownsville fire department
Saturday returned here from a
five-day session of the state fire
school at College Station.
Making the trip were Captain
Pedro G Villarreal and Fireman T.
Najar. The sessions included the
latest in the science of fire fight-
ing and first aid methods.
A new machine digs, washes,
culls, grades and sacks potatoes.

Seattle, Wash.
Those in charge of its operation
said preliminary checks showed
that the plan has "worked per-
fectly mechanicalfr" and has in-
creased the consumption of sur-
plus food to an extent "far be-
yond jur expectations."
Officials were not ready yet to
list cities to which the
method will be extended They
have under consideration, how-
ever, petitions from business or-
ganizations, relief leaders and of-
ficial! from "several score" cities.
Designed to replace the present
system of distributing surplus
f<xid through relief agencies, the
new plan distributes purchasing
power to relief families. Here is
the way it works;
Those on relief can elect to take
part of their relief wages, or di-
rect reliei payments, in orange
stamps good at any cooperating
grocery store for purchase of any
kind of food. With each purchase

WASHINGTON Admin-
istration farm officials, pleased
with results of the new stamp
method of distributing surplus
food among needy families, dis-
closed Saturday that they intend
to extend it to upwards of 100
cities within the current fiscal
year.
Advanced as a scheme for
“bridging the gap" between farm
surpluses on the one hand and
under nourished urban families
on the other, the plan has been
tried experimentally in Roches-

Valley freight rate situation and
discuss plans to alleviate the pres-
ent "confiscatory" charges on some
commodities.
Opportunity will be given briefly
for any person present to offer a
solution to the situation that is
now causing Valley cotton to be
shipped 150 miles or more away
from Valley's own ports to Corpus
Christi for shipment when Browns-
ville actually has more cotton boat
sailings than that port city, accord-
ing to sailing charts
Education Held Needed
The Object of the meeting. Cham-
ber President F A Polzin said, is
a "business-like effort to aid our-
selves; tn study our freight situa-
tion; to educate ourselves through
listening to shipping experts like
Bowie and Hnfmokel; and tn mo-
bilize the public opinion and let
those people who are responsible
for the unfair truck laws know that
Valiev people are not going to take
it lying down but are going to
fight for their own rights."

ers was designated by the board of
directors tn preside at the meeting

justifible and unconscionable trans-
portation charges.
