BY BERNICE 8TRAWN
The Rio Grande rampage*.
What happened to the wide,
placid stream?
Where came the swollen, turbid
river lashing at its banks and ris
ing within a dangerous few inches
of its confining levees?
“Why, that’s an old story” said
the native Valleyite.
Perhaps so, but to a newcomer
to the Valley, accustomed only to
viewing a peaceful stream, the sul
len. swirling waters present a spec
tacle awe-inspiring, and a little
terrifying. The newcomer gazes
wide-eyed and somewhat askance
at the current sweeping underneath
the international bridge, perilously,
so it seems to him, nearer the
staunch structure.
“And there’s really no danger,”
he asks Incredulously.
He Was Blase
“Nope”, replies the Valleyite calm
ly, “I’ve seen it rise up like that
many a time ”
So the curious newcomer and a
worthy oompadre “went rollin’
down the Rio” to see what there
was to see...
And saw much, more and most
of the Rio Grande.
Picking up the trail behind a
truckload of levee workers just
leaving Matamoros, we bumped
over ruts, shoved through slues of
mud. The truck Jammed to the last
man in front of us swayed and
dipped almost to the ground as it
wound around the curves of a
road cut and hacked during the
last few days for transportation of
laborers to repair broken levees. At
each dangerous lunge a yell and
waving of hats came from the truck
occupants. One lost his hat in a
muddy rut. We retrived it from an

the first spot where levee workers
were assembled. There were scores of
them, hug and brawny, armed with
pickaxes, shovels and spades. The
truck coming in was to relieve a
portion of them. They were camp

camp fires burning. Steam hissed
from huge iron coffee pots and
fish was being broiled over the
flame* From boiling pots of water
the workers fished ears of sweet

levee, all sent from the City of

Commands Barked
Several sharp-voiced leaders
shouted commands. Off the workers
tramped down the road by the side
of the levee, with the yellow, muddy
waters of the Rio Grande lapping
within a few inches of its top. A

expanse of water where it had
