About Name Calling
This newspaper has been call¬

people. Sometimes good—some¬
times not so good. ,

ing newspaper.
But we have always liked it
best when we’ve heard one of
readers call us: “My news¬
paper.”

Newspaper (is) Freedom’s Text¬
book.”

textbook before but after study¬
ing this idea—we like it. A lot
of truth in that simple state¬
ment.
