1933 MAY HAVE DEALT THE
Lower Rio Grande Valley plenty
I grief—
In the matter of hurricanes and
the like—
But the old year is certainly go-
ing out with the ledger more than
balanced.
Let’s see—
There is the government work on
| the dredging of the outer channel
and construction of the Jetties—
The completion of 2 miles of the
inner channel and of the Port Isa-
| bel turning basin.
And following right along come*
. the latest development in harbor
matters—
Granting of the loan to complete
the Brownsville channel turning
J wfeasin ami facilities.
1 ™ Oantract for first of the flood
control work recently taken under
the wing of the federal government
has been let.
Willacy county irrigation district
draws down nearly b millions for
the completion of its project.
Emergency road work is getting
tinder way in all Valley counties—
(And the Military highway
through Zapata county is to be
paved)
Brownsville San Benito and Har-
lingen either are or will be in new
postoffices before the end ol the
year—
And McAllen's contract is com-
f lng up.
The Merchants bank has an-
nounced a $500 000 dividend.
• I •
EMERGENCY RELIEF COR-
poration set-ups are functioning
and many Cameron Willacy and
Hidalgo county buildings are be-
ing repaired whose owners might
if otherwise have had difficulty in
making the financial grade.
R. A. A. C. loans have continued
to come into the Valley in increas-
ing amounts.
C. W. A. projects in all counties
are not only providing work for
: nearly 10.000 but are enabling us
to get many improvements long de-
sired.
PCity of Weslaco gets a $50 000
grant and loan for the completion
of first class sewae facilities
throughout the city.
City of Brownsville has received
an allocation and grant of $200000
lor repairs to the municipal light
plant and for drainage work.
The breaks have started our way.

WE PUT TH’TSE THINGS DOWN
in cold print to remind some of our
doubting Thomases that things
really are on the up nad up.
We have been pessimistic so Ion?
that it Is hard for just lots of us to
believe good news when we hear li.
It’s not optimism to believe to j
know that things are getting bet-
ter In this Valley of ours.
! It’s just pure-dee old common |
sense and the ability to see things ;
as they are
* *
WE HAVE HADSOMEBREAKS - j
Now It is up to US.
To put our shoulders to the i
whe \
And work as we have never work-
ed before—
■ To take advantage of these break*
ft! Such breaks as we have received
■ A not Just happen—
■ ™ They are the result of hard and
ft tedious work bv men who did not
know how to quit.
They “made’’ these breaks for us. I
And now it is distinctly our tuna— j
To come through and use these
breaks to build greater eommuni- j
ties—
{ A greater Valley.
• • •
i IT IS. OF COURSE TOO MUCH
to hope that all differences of opfn-
ionion among our citizenry will
| cease.
And probably it is just as well
at that.
But it is not too much to hope !
that al lof Us will be able to lay
i aside these differences of opinion
r lone erf'”!rh to work for the com-
mon weal.

Thinly-Clad Dancers
Flee Flames Into
Bitter Cold
HAMPDEN Me . Dec. 11.—UP)—
The gay and stormy history of
Hampden's marathon dancing con-
test has ended in tragedy.
Fire breaking ou last night while
a blizzard howled outside the pa-
vilion and the footsore contestants
rested in their cots cost the lives
of at least three and brought in-
juries to many more.
From the blazing Paradise dance
hall where they had plodded many
weary weeks amid the cheers of
their supporters the thinly clad
dancers fled into the gale plung-
ing knee-deep in snow drifts piled
high by a 30-hour storm.
Charred Bodies f ound
Pajama clad young men and
women bare loot and many ot
them painfully burned muiea
about in the snow and near-zero
temperature seeking partners and
inends. The charred bodies of three
were found in the ruins.
The victims all men were ten-
tatively identilied as:
John Ryan of New York City.
Emile Pelletier of Walerviile Me.
Gerties Sangia ol Dracut Mass.
Many of the survivors suffered
severe frost bites in addition to
their burns. Of the injured the
following had been accounted for
and taken to the eastern Maine
I general hospital at Bangor;
Mrs. Eleanor Ryan ol New York
City wife of one of the supposed
! victims serious burns.
Capt. McCoy of Kokomo lno.

Ginger Beck Portland boxer
burns.
Helen Emery ol Walden. Mass.
frozen legs.
Kay Wise of Chicago exposure
DBrothy Wilson ol Chicago burns.
The origin of the blaze was un-
certain. but several of tne survivors
believed the pavilions cnunney had
oeen toppled by the storm and the
building ignited by the heating
plant.
Dancers Drowsing
The marathon had suspended
I over Sunday to comply with the
Sabbath laws. The cry of fire"
aroused the drowsing dancers
shortly after 11 p. m. So rapidly
aid the wind driven names sweep
through the barn-like hall that
none of the group was able to stop
for clothing or belongings.
The Hampden fire department
aiaed by apparatus from Bangor
could do little to stop the flames.
An ice-bound brook afforded tne
only water supply.
The marathon opened five weeks
ago in the midst of bitter con-
troversy. The town seleciment de-
nied petitions that a license for the
enterprise be refused. The Sunday
following the opening police raided
the hall while 1.000 persons looked
on. The management paid lines
totaling $350.50 and the dance
went on. Since then however it
has recessed over Sunday.

CHICAGO. Dec. 11. <JP>—Pres.
Roosevelt told the larmers of Amer-
ica in a message today that *we
seem to be on our way’* but counsel-
ed them to continue cooperating
with the administration's program
for a -controlled agriculture.**
The president's message was read
before the annual convention of the
American Farm Bureau Federation
assembled here to discuss the com-
plex problems of agriculture and
the muftl-frontad attack of the ad-
ministration against them.
Cooperation Pledged
Edward A. O'Neal president ot
the federation pledged himself in
an address delivered after reading
the president's message to stand
squarely behind the Roosevelt ag-
ricultural program the NRA and
the administration's monetary
policy.
Pres. Roosevelt told the farm j
leaders that the "maladjustment be-
tween supply and demand.'* to j
which he attributed economic un- j
rest in farming had been years in j
the making and could not be cured ;
overnight.
*• Nevertheless.” he continued “in
a few short months the whole com-
plexion of the agricultural outlook
has been changed.
"Money is getting into the hands 1
of the people who need it; it is !
coming from higher prices for the
things farmers have to sell; it is
coining in the form of government
checks for those cooperative pro-
ducers who are willing to swap a
hazardous present for immediate
| improvement and a stable future.
"This money is paying bills; it <
is putting men back to work in the
cities producing the things that
farmers buy and enabling those «
men in turn to buy things that j
farmers produce.”
