LOOKED LIKE ARMY TIMES
in front of the Cameron County
Employment and Relief offices in
Brownsville this morning.
And no doubt it looked just the
same at San Benito. Harlingen.
Mercedes. McAllen. Edinburg.
And an army was being mobilized
this morning.
An army going to war against
unemployme n t—
Recruited by the federal govern-
ment.
Men going to work on various
public projects.
The battalions mobilized today
in the Valley
Are a part of the big army re-
cruited all over the country—
In a strategic push against the
arch enemy of distress and unem-

WHAT GEN. JOHNSON TOLD
1 tdfe President yesterday relative to
cmselers holding up the NR A pro-
gram will be gladly seconded by
Brownsville and Valley merchants
who are living up to their agree-
ments.
The chiseler is affecting all lines
of business as he flaunts his Blue
Eagle and then does as he pleases.
Legitimate business in all lines
auffers
The chiseler in the newspaper
business raises hob with legitimate
publications just as the chiseling
drygoods man or garage man raises
hob with those particular business-
es.
Valley Pres* association members
at their last meeting considered a
resolution paying the respects of
the newspapers of the Valley to
chiseling publications.
The resolution will come before
the press men and women at their
JL* next meeting.
When they have finished the
chiseler will at least know how he
is regarded by the men and women
who have labored for years for
their respective communities and
for the Valley as a whole.

MCALLEN IS ALL ASTIR OVER
the failure of the government to
take immediate action—
Toward the building of the new
postoffice in the City of Palms.
Plans have been prepared for
months by Architect Van Sicien of
Brownsville
And folks there cannot figure it
out
Why postoilices in other cities—
Authorized later than the McAl-
len office.
Are being built—
And McAllen gets nothing.
It's another one of those things
that s all.
Just like Cameron county which
had the lirst projects approved by
the State Highway commission back
in July—
And has had to sit by and see
aome 150 contracts let for road
building all over the state—
While exactly none have been let
here.

FI RSI STEP TOWARD making
the Valley beach at Boca Chica
' available to the people of this sec-
tion has been taken by Col. Sam
Rafcertson.
Application for permission to
build a new toll bridge this time
over the Laguna Madre has been !
filed with the War Department.
Much as we may dislike the idea
of paying a toll to get to the
beach well have to admit that a
toll bridge is better than no bridge
at all.
At this writing chances appear
fine for the ultimate repair of the I
Boca Chica road by the State
Highway department.
Looks like we will have a play-
ground ready for action next
spring and goodness knows we all
will be ready to do a little playing

GROWERS OF EL JARDIN AND
Brownsville communities will meet
at the El Jardin school tonight—
To discuss the plans of the Val-

for the coming season.
Growers and shippers are at last
working as one.
Both realize that some control j
ever acreage must be exercised—
As well as control over price.
The one following the other
Fanners of this section will do 1
well to attend tonight's meeting—
And it would not hurt our local
business men to sit in—
And find out what is going on.

Drinking and Hazing a t Baylor Must Stop
_Neff Says as He Expels Seven Students
WACO. Nov. 16. ■?>—Pre*. Pat
Neff of Baylor t'nivenity an-
nounced at chapel today that he
had suspended seven students for
haling and other infractions of
the college regulations.
Pres. Neff prefaced his an-
nouncement by offering to resign
from the presidency "effective at
the end of this chapel program”
but Waco trustees of the college
who were with him on the plat-
form quickly declined to accept
the offer.
The president declared a "new
day” for the university and as-
serted that hazing drinking and
disorder during chapel must be
eliminated and declared:
"I have hand picked 30 students i
who are disrupting elements and l
the remainder of them beside*
these seven who are suspended
are just barely hanging on.”
In a public meeting on the
stage of Waco Hall before the
chapel adjournment the trustees
refused the president’s offer of
resignation and endorsed his ac-
tion.
The entire faculty also on the
stage stood up in endorsement
of the policy and the students
who remained after the seven sus-
pended had gone out also indi-
cated unanimous support of the
program by rising at Neff's in-
vitation.
“Looks to me like a melodrama
—with the president taking the
part of the down” one of the
students said as they left the
chapeL
It was the only response any of
them made after Pres. Neff had
called their names.
“That" remarked the president
after he again had ordered one
of the boys to leave “is typical
of the attitude of the handfnl of
students who are not in sym-
pathy with Baylor's ideals."
President Nefrs action was a
climax to purported rule break-
ing of university authorities con-
sidered a serious nature incident
to the homecoming week-end
just preceding the Baylor-Texas
Christian University football
game.
Stenographic report of the en-
tire proceedings was made. Neff
explaining this fact by saying he
wanted it to go into the records
of the university and the minutes
of the board of trustees and
further that be did not want to
be misquoted.
He quoted Saint Paul as a .
scripture lesson for the morning:
“Let us hear the conclusion of the
whole matter; fear God and keep
His commandments for this Is
the whole duty of Him.”
He applied it to Baylor.
“No student* should fear Bay-
lor. in the sense that he fears
the lash of a master” he declar-
ed. ”but each and every student
should so love and revere Baylor
that he would at no time bring
reproach to or cast a shadow on
It"
