(5 In wartime, the Times and Leader have tried to be useful in carrying the news of the old home town and community to the lonesome young men and' women in the armed forces,, rather than news of the war Itself. It seems that this policy is meeting with general approval. D Thirty years is a long time to look ahead, but a short space of time to look back. We are glad for the privilege of aiding the good people of this community and desire to continue to serve the local public with a newspaper and printing. All of us can feel a measure of pride in the wonderful country where freedom of press and freedom of speech are so common that we take them for granted, as our right, not the gift of any benign ruler. Education and the printed word have played an important part in our freedom, and we all desire that truth and civic pride continue to distinguish fine communities like this one.
