RED CROSS IN
MONTHLY
Many Calls For Assistance
Attended To By Local
Chapter
i _______
The regular monthly meeting of
the Red Cross chapter was held
Thursday at 5 p. m. at the chamber
of commerce. Mrs. Cloudman, rep
reseAative from St. Louis, who was
in ^Mp-nsville several days last
we^^was present and expressed
herself as well pleased with the
work being done by the Browns
ville chapter.
Many calls for assistance along
various lines come up constantly.
Among the more recent ones re
ported by George Mansur, home
service chairman, were: A tele
graphic request from the Houston
Travelers Aid asking that a blind
Mexican boy be met at the station
and helped to get across the border.
He was on his way to his parents
in Mexico.
The Beaumont chapter requested
a death certificate for a man who
died here several years ago. This
was needed in order to collect some
insurance and settle up an estate.
The certificate was promptly fur
nished.
Through information and advice
from the Brownsville chapter three
children, whose mother had taken
them from Brownsville to Salt Lake
City, Utah, were placed in the home
of a relative in New Jersey.
A half fare ticket was furnished
to a young girl, who was without
funds, to send her to her parents in
Mobile, Ala.
i There are a number of cases now
\ under investigation, which will be
’ disposed of just as soon as certain
information is received.

Valley’s Total Over 16,000 |j
Car Mark; Week’s Load
ings 1,529 Cars f
The 16,000 car mark for vegetable
and fruit shipments from the Lower
Rio Grande Valley was passed Fri- n
day, and loadings up to Saturday ■
morning were almost 2,000 cars in
excess of the same date last season,
indicating that the season’s total
will run close to the 25,000 car esti
mate.
The movement the past week has
held near the peak with a total of
1,529 cars moved, or an average of
208 cars for each day, including
Sunday. The peak of loadings was
reached Wednesday when 305 cars
were reported out.
The slump in the cabbage market
has reduced the Valley loadings ap
preciably, only 232 cars of that
commodity moving out during the
week, as compared with over 400
cars three weeks ago. Many of the
growers are turning their cabbage
crop under, shippers reporting that
with South Carolina and the Gulf
coast section into the deal there is
little chance for recovery of the
market to a profitable figure.
Mixed car shipments occupied the
major position during the week with
a total of 317 cars shipped, and po
tatoes, carrots and onions were close ■
contenders for second position. 9
A check of the weeks shipments
shows 317 mixed cars, 88 beets, 198 ■
carrots, 124 beets and carrots, 232 “
cabbage, 192 onions, 197 potatoes,
95 beans, 18 parsley, and 65 grape- ■
fruit. The season movement to date 1
includes 14.531 cars of vegetables
and 1,719 cars of fruit, as compared ■
with 13,138 cars of vegetables and 8
1.146 of fruit to the corresponding
date last year. ■
The beet and carrot movement is 9
approximately 100 per cent in excess
of last year, shippers report, the ■
shipments of the past week having IS
set a new record. It was thought two
weeks ago that the peak had been m
reached, but these commodities con- I
tinue to come into the shipping
sheds in ever-increasing volume. g
The potato movement has been g
lighter than forecast, many of the
growers holding for a better mar- m
ket. The market is responding, 9
shipners report, and the price is
holding steady at $2.00 per hundred. -
The tomato movement will start E
in twoo weeks but will not attain B
heavy volume until early May. The
Valey has a total of 7,000 acres of
tomatoes, according to the govern
ment estimate, and a long season is
forecast as a result of the late crop
in the second early sections on the
upper Gulf coast.
