EXCHANGE GETS '
$25,818 CASH
f8pmal to The Herald*
WESLACO. March 15.—A total of
(25.818 in currency was made avail
able to Lower Rio Grande Valley
citrus growers Tuesday through the
Rio Grande Valley Citrus Exchange,
it was announced at exchange of
fices. here.
The money was obtained through
co-operation of the National Fruit
& Vegetable Exchange and the Fed
eral Farm Board for the purpose of
giving currency direct to growers in
payment for fruit sold by the Val
iev co-operative.
Because of the bankmg mora
torium. the Exchange was unable to
remit to growers in any form ex
cept by check because of its receipt
of payments from growers in the
form of drafts or checks. Growers,
of course, were unable to cash their
checks. It is expected that addi
tional cash will be received within |
a few days.
Every effort is being made to:
close the season s sales as soon as
possible in order that local asso
ciations may close their books in
preparation for the annual audit.
The audit will determine the pack
ing cost, amounts refunded to grow
ers and the average pnee received
for fruit, officials stated. A num
ber of cars of grapferuit and oranges
are now en route or in storage and
until these sales are completed, it
will not be possible to close the
season, it was explained

STATE BANK DOORS
DALLAS. March 15. uP»—Banks '
by the hundreds opened in Texas
today, pumping new life into busi
ness channels clogged temporarily
by state and national holidays.
While the backbone of the finan
cial stringency was broken yester
day and Monday when banks in
the larger cities resumed normal
functions, it was the many smaller
banks members of both the federal
reserve system and the rtate sys
tem that gave the last, final im
petus to tlie forward movement.
Shaw Makes Wide Order
The openings today were the
third phase of the government’s
policy of progressive resumption of
usual transactions. James Shaw,
bankuig commissioner of the state,
completed the lifting of most res
trictions when he ordered all state
banks, bank and trust companies,
trust companies and private banks
except as otherwise ordered, to
resume business unhampered.

providing penalties for hoarding ol
currency and goid still maintained,
however.

The three Tyler banks were
crowded early m the day but de- ■
posits exceeded withdrawals. Green

shrieks of sirens, blowing of
whistles and tolling of bells.
The crowds were no larger at
Denton than those ordinarily fol
lowing any legal holiday but the
heavy accumulation of checks in
dicated long hours for bank clerks.

Congress already has agreed to
appropriate $5,000,000 for victims
of the earthquake, and the Re1

DISASTER STRIKES CALIFORNIA’S INDUSTRIAL AREA
This bird's view map shows the rich industrial area of Los Angeles and Long Beach, where a series of
earthquakes dealt death and destruction. Long Beach, with 143.000 population, suffered the heaviest
death toll and many of its fine buildings and residences were reported in wreckage. The earth shocks did
great material damage and cost lives also in San Pedro, man-made harbor for Los Angeles, and in near
by Los Angeles suburbs. Los Angeles proper, twenty miles from Long Beach, escaped heavy material
damage but reported many casualties from falling buildings Artist Joe King's map shows the affected
area and the suburbs reported most damaged. The smaller map shows the relation of the most affected
area to other environs of Los Angeles.

ADVERTISING
DRIVE URGED
^Special to The Herald)
WESLACO. March 15— I. R.
Stall 1. president of the Weslaco
i number of Commerce made a
statement to a representative of
the Herald trial one of the great
needs ot the Rio Grande Valiev
is a national advertising campaign
to create additional consumption
of Valley citrus fruit.
Stahl stated that a plan like
this had been discussed by many
shippers and growers of citrus fruit
in the Valley, but. "like the weath
er. we talk about it. but haven't
done anything yet.” He stated that
in view of conditions existing, that
such a camjwugn would be needed
for next years crop more than
ever.
Many shippers and growers have
suggested that a "per box tax’’ be
levied to make up this fund for
national advertising. It has ap
parently worked successfully on
California citrus Stahl seemed to
think that the uxiividual shipper,
cash buyer, cooj>eratives. and oth
ers selling citrus fruit, would ma
terially share in the benefit of
such a campaign. The thou silt is
advanced by many that such a
campaign would increase the de
mand for Valley citrus as a whole.
Many shippers. Mr Stahl said,
advertised their individual oral ids.
but it does not have the effect
that a co-ordinate plan competent
ly handled would have through
united advertising.
