TODAY. IN ADDITION TO
being Sunday the 17th of June
la "Fathers’ Day" just as if Father
needs a day.
Every day and some of the
nights are Father's—
And as a matter of fact—
The way these days are observed
nowadays.
We believe we would be safe In
•aying that Christmas. New Year's
Thanksgiving and even Mothers'
Day-
Art Fathers' Days. too.
But at that there are times
when we are inclined to the be-
lief that the Old Man is appre-
ciated a trifle.
Even if sermons are seldom
preached in his honor.

FRIEND BIGOS WHO HOLDS
out at the customs office on the
International bridge asks us why—
City of Brownsville cannot grant
a special water rate to those who
desire to keep their lawns and gar-
dens in first class condition during
the hot summer months.
Seems like a good idea to us and
one that should be given due con-
sideration by the city dads.
Mayor Rentfro and City Mgr.
Rosenthal are out of the city on
business but we promise to ask the
question again on their return.
In the meantime Just how many
Brownsville residents would use
more water and would keep their
lawns and gardens right up to now
provided such a special rate were
granted?
• • •
TAKE IT PROM ONE WHO
knows not from us.
But from one who has followed
Cameron county politics for these
many years.
This is the goofiest political sea-
son within the recent memory of
!in.
A.ii;nmenta appear U> be all
>7t to pieces
And just because a man is for
one candidate.
la no sign that he is for another
aandidate
As those who have tried to tie
their races on to the coat-tails of •

Are finding out.

• YOUNG” JOE BAILEY. ABLE
•on of an illustrious sire spoke in
Harlingen and Brownsville Friday
night.
Opposing Tom Connally in the
race for the United States senate
Joe Bailey is showing plenty of
sense and a wholesome knowledge
of governmental aifairs.
We could well find it in our
hearts to wish that Bailey had
waited a couple of years before
announcing for the senate for we
could well find ourselves willing
under most circumstances to vote
for him.
Personally a* we have before
expressed ourselves we cannot but
feel that the best interest of Texas
will be served by keeping Tom
Connally in Washington and we
really regret that "Young’' Joe
Bailey saw M make the race
against the senator from Marlin.

foreclosed properties under a vir-
tual six-year moratorium an their

“There are a number of impor-

like to see passed but is willing to

said.
“A great deal of work has been
done by the present session. Pro-
ceedings have been amicable and
harmonious. There has been a meas-
ure of cooperation truly commend-
able and tt Is to be regretted that
nersonal feelings should be vented
in debate to the discredit of those
who yielded to those impulses and
to the Impairment of the dignity
and reputation of the senate.
“It is impossible to conduct pub-
