hope for freedom and a free life.
They suffered untold hardships, eu
dured privations, sacrificed, fought
and died that their children and fu-
ture generations might Inherit and
enjoy the tradition of freedom of
speech, freedom of religion, freedom
from fear, and freedom from want.
Freedom of speech and expression
was acquired over a long period or

of Intimidation. Freedom of speech

Welcome P.T.A Visitors
Upon bthalf of the county and city officials, and the
officers and members of the Carthage Parents-Teachers Asso-
ciation, and the entire citizenship, the editor extends the
warm hand of welcome to visiting P.T.A. delegates to the
Twelfth District Conference, which officially opened Wednes-
day evening at six-thirty p.m.
Carthage is proud to occupy the role of host for this
ifksnjtant4 meeting, and we trust the delegates’ visit in our
city will be a pleasant one. For your benefit and comfort the
facilities of the.town have been mobilized, and it is our mutual
desire that your stay be an enjoyable, inspirational, and
pleasant one. ,
The editor elected to run the regular edition of the
paper this week due to the shortage of print paper. A spec-
ial edition, carrying large welcoming advertisements from
the progressive merchants of our city, could have been pub-
lished, but due to war-time restrictions, and our desire to
extend every co-operation to our nation, we refrained from
this type of convention coverage and have devoted the ma-
jority of space in this issue to P.T.A. reports, and news items.
It is our desire that every visiting delegate accept the
hospitality of our town. We are honored to have such dis-
tinguished citizens of Texas with us on this impressive oc-
casion. The work of the Texas Congress of Parents and Teach-
ers is too well known for an editor to attempt to review the
numerous accomplishments of this august body over an
extended period of years.
It is well to say in the closing paragraph of this text of
welcome, that upon the education of the people of this coun-
try the fate of thia nation depends. America is rightfully proud
of its great educational leaders; Its organizations; and of its
temples and edifices of learning in a free nation.
