•By Staff Correspondent!
RAYMONDVILLE. March 11 —
Representative* of the Willacy coun-
ty Irrigation district are in Wash-
ington for a showdown conference
on the fate of the huge project and

ident of the district board of di-
rectors; W E Anderson engineer;

The $25000 advance grant for
drawing up preliminary plans for
the irrigation of 75.000 acres m the
129.000-acre district has been ex-
hausted and it Is felt generally that
the Public Works Administration
will announce a definite policy in
regard to financing the district be-
fore advancing any further funds.
The delegation is understood to
be hopeful of obtaining consent of
the PWA for immediate commence-
ment of construction The district
has made application for a loan and
grant totaling $4.953 000 for com-
pletion of the irrigation system be-
gun several years ago. One con-
tract has already been let for a
distribution system for a small tract
near here but work has not started
due to the fact that funds for the
project have not been released
There have been many difficul-
ties in the way of immediate com-
pletion of the project An obstruc-
tionist group led by Arthur Baugh-
man has sought to kill the district
and he. together with other defeat-
ed candidates is contesting the Jan-
uary election The case is being
heard in Edinburg Thursday.
Baughman lacked only a few votes
of attaining a seat on the board of
directors.
It is estimated that construction of
the water supply and distribution
systems would require about two
years

Police released tear gas bombs and
firemen shot streams of water at
the pickets Clubs fists and rocks
were brought into play.
Circuit Judge Allan Campbell or-

day why an injunction should not
be issued. The latter retaliated by
announcing sit-down strikers would
not permit corporation executives to
| enter Chrysler plants

poration rejected the United Auto-
mobile Workers Union demand to be

ORANGE ME
INVESTIGATED
—
Evidences Of Fraud
Are Hunted
(Special to The Herald)
AUSTIN. March 11— Evidence* N
fraud against the public by the sale
of diluted orange juice drinks which
through the use of artificial color-
ing and orange pulp simulate orange
juice are being investigated by the
Bureau of Food and Drugs of the
state department of health. Dr. Geo.
W. Cox. state health officer an-
nounces.
Regulations adopted under author-
ity of Articles 4466 of the Texas Civil
Statutes states: "A citrus fruit bev-
erage whether carbonated or not
containing the juice of oranges
lemons limes or grapefruits or any
combination of these with or with-
out fruit pulp and—or peel derived
from such fruit shall not contain
any artificial color or added ma-
terial which may cause the appear-
ance of the product to be deceptive
in any manner regardless of the
name or designation applied to such
beverage. Any beverage not con-
forming to this regulation will be
considered adulterated under the
above stated law. and no explanatory
labeling will be considered sufficient
to overcome the misleading effect of
such added color or added material
simulating citrus pulp turbidity ”
Penalty for violation of the ruling
is a fine not more than two hun-
dred dollars or less than twenty-five.
There 1* no objection under the
act to the sale on their own merits

ticles If not artifically colored or

simulate a pure orange juice.

Noted Metropolitan Opera Star
finds Luckies easy on her precious throat—
Marjorie Laurence says:
"You must have a big voice to sing
Wagner. My favorite role ofrBrunn-
hilde’ in Wagner's 'Gotterdammer-
ling’ is a very exacting one. Yet —
when I am back in my dressing room
after I have finished singing there is
nothing I enjoy more than lighting
up a Lucky. It is a light smoke—so
gentle—so smooth—that it does not
irritate my throat in the least. I agree
with the others at the Metropolitan
that a light smoke is a wise choice ”
BRILLIANT SOPRANO OF THE
METROPOLITAN OPERA COMPANY
An independent survey was made recently
among professional men and women—lawyers
doctors lecturers scientists etc. Of those who said
they smoke cigarettes more than 87% stated they
personally prefer a light smokq.
Miss Lawrence verifies the wisdom of this pref-
erence and so do other leading artists of the
radio stage screen and opera. Their voices are
their fortunes. That’s why so many of them
smoke Luckies. You too can have the throat pro-
tection of Luckies—a light smoke free of certain
harsh irritants removed by the exclusive process
"It’s Toasted”. Luckies are gentle on the throat.
