Falcon Dam Proves Itself
This film discusses the need for the Falcon Dam to aid in drought, flood control, and irrigation. It describes a severe flood that occurred within a year of the dam���������s construction, in which the Falcon Dam proved to be invaluable. Cities in Val Verde, Webb, and Maverick Counties, as well as northern regions of the Mexican state of Coahuila are shown as they flooded after a hurricane. The film describes how the Falcon Dam saved areas below the dam from flooding.

Mexico–United States border
The Mexico–United States border is an international border running from Tijuana, Baja California, and Imperial Beach, California, in the west to Matamoros, Tamaulipas, and Brownsville, Texas, in the east. The border, separating Mexico and the United States from each other, traverses a variety of terrains, ranging from major urban areas to inhabitable deserts. From the Gulf of Mexico, it follows the course of the Rio Grande (Río Bravo del Norte) to the border crossing at El Paso, Texas, and Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua; westward from that binational conurbation it crosses vast tracts of the Sonoran and Chihuahuan Desert, the Colorado River Delta, westward to the binational conurbation of San Diego, California, and Tijuana before reaching the Pacific Ocean.
The border's total length is 3,145 km (1,954 mi), according to figures given by the International Boundary and Water Commission. It is the most frequently crossed international border in the world, with approximately 350 million legal crossings being made annually.

Starr county mayors upset over lack of funding
The landscape along the Rio Grande has changed.
We can see the Mexican military chasing people, Lieutenant Rafael Aguierre started. We could hear the gunshots and sirens as they chased the group to the outskirts of town and engaged in more fire fights there.
All the while, Lt. Aguierre and his fellow officers watched in the distance. They kept a close eye on the violence and made sure the resident they are sworn to protect were kept out of harm's way.
We make do with what we have---but the more people we have the better job we can do, Aguierre said.
But the mayors of Roma, Escobares, and Rio Grande City told Action 4 News that they cannot add any more people to their departments because the funding is not there.
We still need resources locally so we can have our police departments secure our areas within the population centers and until that happens will continue having difficulties, Mayor of Rio Grande City, Ruben Villarreal said.
Mayor Fred Guerra of Roma agreed, I see that the federal and state governments use border funding as a supplement to law enforcement agencies. We don't see it as a supplement we see it as a necessity.
For Ecobares Mayor Noel Escobar the problem is a little more urgent.
I can't afford to have police protection 24/7. I do, at best, 40 percent because of funding.
All three told Action 4 News they have applied for grants in the past, but it is a competitive process and nothing is guaranteed.
That is why they hope the federal government can offer some help.
Maybe we can bring in some additional manpower to take care of our people a little better and have them live in a safer environment, Escobar said.
Action 4 News took these concerns to Congressman Henry Cuellar. He said since 2007 Starr County received more money than in years past.
They've received about 5-million dollars to date, Congressman Cuellar said in a phone interview. The county needs to work out a plan with the cities and talk about what they're supposed to get.
He added that in fiscal year 2011 starr county received $627,000---of that money he said Roma and Rio Grande City would get $85,000 and Escobares $10,000.

Our Miss Brooks: First Day / Weekend at Crystal Lake / Surprise Birthday Party / Football Game
Our Miss Brooks is an American situation comedy starring Eve Arden as a sardonic high school English teacher. It began as a radio show broadcast from 1948 to 1957. When the show was adapted to television (1952--56), it became one of the medium's earliest hits. In 1956, the sitcom was adapted for big screen in the film of the same name.
Connie (Constance) Brooks (Eve Arden), an English teacher at fictional Madison High School.
Osgood Conklin (Gale Gordon), blustery, gruff, crooked and unsympathetic Madison High principal, a near-constant pain to his faculty and students. (Conklin was played by Joseph Forte in the show's first episode; Gordon succeeded him for the rest of the series' run.) Occasionally Conklin would rig competitions at the school--such as that for prom queen--so that his daughter Harriet would win.
Walter Denton (Richard Crenna, billed at the time as Dick Crenna), a Madison High student, well-intentioned and clumsy, with a nasally high, cracking voice, often driving Miss Brooks (his self-professed favorite teacher) to school in a broken-down jalopy. Miss Brooks' references to her own usually-in-the-shop car became one of the show's running gags.
Philip Boynton (Jeff Chandler on radio, billed sometimes under his birth name Ira Grossel); Robert Rockwell on both radio and television), Madison High biology teacher, the shy and often clueless object of Miss Brooks' affections.
Margaret Davis (Jane Morgan), Miss Brooks' absentminded landlady, whose two trademarks are a cat named Minerva, and a penchant for whipping up exotic and often inedible breakfasts.
Harriet Conklin (Gloria McMillan), Madison High student and daughter of principal Conklin. A sometime love interest for Walter Denton, Harriet was honest and guileless with none of her father's malevolence and dishonesty.
Stretch (Fabian) Snodgrass (Leonard Smith), dull-witted Madison High athletic star and Walter's best friend.
Daisy Enright (Mary Jane Croft), Madison High English teacher, and a scheming professional and romantic rival to Miss Brooks.
Jacques Monet (Gerald Mohr), a French teacher.
Our Miss Brooks was a hit on radio from the outset; within eight months of its launch as a regular series, the show landed several honors, including four for Eve Arden, who won polls in four individual publications of the time. Arden had actually been the third choice to play the title role. Harry Ackerman, West Coast director of programming, wanted Shirley Booth for the part, but as he told historian Gerald Nachman many years later, he realized Booth was too focused on the underpaid downside of public school teaching at the time to have fun with the role.
Lucille Ball was believed to have been the next choice, but she was already committed to My Favorite Husband and didn't audition. Chairman Bill Paley, who was friendly with Arden, persuaded her to audition for the part. With a slightly rewritten audition script--Osgood Conklin, for example, was originally written as a school board president but was now written as the incoming new Madison principal--Arden agreed to give the newly-revamped show a try.
Produced by Larry Berns and written by director Al Lewis, Our Miss Brooks premiered on July 19, 1948. According to radio critic John Crosby, her lines were very feline in dialogue scenes with principal Conklin and would-be boyfriend Boynton, with sharp, witty comebacks. The interplay between the cast--blustery Conklin, nebbishy Denton, accommodating Harriet, absentminded Mrs. Davis, clueless Boynton, scheming Miss Enright--also received positive reviews.
Arden won a radio listeners' poll by Radio Mirror magazine as the top ranking comedienne of 1948-49, receiving her award at the end of an Our Miss Brooks broadcast that March. I'm certainly going to try in the coming months to merit the honor you've bestowed upon me, because I understand that if I win this two years in a row, I get to keep Mr. Boynton, she joked. But she was also a hit with the critics; a winter 1949 poll of newspaper and magazine radio editors taken by Motion Picture Daily named her the year's best radio comedienne.
For its entire radio life, the show was sponsored by Colgate-Palmolive-Peet, promoting Palmolive soap, Lustre Creme shampoo and Toni hair care products. The radio series continued until 1957, a year after its television life ended.
