^Special to The Herald)

San Benito and Harlingen against I

for the Valley,” explained James

Benito delegation at the Harlingen
San Benito get-together held at the i
Rees-Wil-Mond hotel here Thurs
day night with a large attendance
of enthusiastic citizens from both
cities. Mr. Bowie, during the course
of his speech, which was probably
the feature of the night's program,
expressed amazement at the re
sponse which had been met from the
citizens of both San Eenito and
Harlingen regarding the get-to
gether meeting and its aims, adding
that the Harlingen Chamber of
Commerce had initiated the idea in
a most informal manner but that a
strong interest had accompanied the
taking up of the idea by the people
of San Benito and Harlingen.
Mrs. Herren of Harlingen made a
short talk during the meeting which
was greeted with much applause and
enthusiasm. “We stand ready to
co-operate and are heart and soul
in the movement and ready to do
our utmostshe stated.
A general discussion was also held
regarding the immediate questions
| to be dealt with by the newly ap
pointed joint advisory board made
up of three citizens from Harlingen
and three from San Benito. The
Harlingen members of the board are
A. L. Brooks, John Myrick and H.
L. Starnes; and the members from
San Benito are John T. Lomax, L.
L. Zenor and J. M. Jones.
