Tradition says that the First Stars and Stripes was
made by Betsy Ross, of Philadelphia, at the request of
George Washington. A contemporary description said
that the stars of the flag ‘represent a new constellation
rising in the West.”
Not a legal holiday in any of the states, June 14 is,
however, marked generally throughout our land by the
schools and by patriotic organizations as the birthday
of our national emblem, in exercises which feature the
Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag.

A dispatch from Texarkana in
this edition says they are fight-
ing to keep the big railway mail
terminal in that city; that the P.
O. Department is threatening to
move it as an economy measure.
We heard a different version—it
is a fight between the rail lines
and the trucks. We are not par-
ticularly interested in that, but
are very much interested in main-
taining the best mail service the
towns of Talco, JohntOwn, Bogata,
Depoff and Pattonville have ever
had, and we will go to bat to
keep it.
Jim Pierce Buried

Wednesday.
Several years ago a new resi7
dence addition was being opened
in Dallas. Promoters were asking
for names of pioneer citizens that
might be used in naming streets.
This editor wrote them, suggest-
ing the name of Holloway, for
his grandfather, who served the
Confederacy and was county
judge of Dallas County when
Carpetbaggers 'Ousted all Confed-
erates and sympathizers from of-
fice. In Sunday’s News we note
there is now a Dallas street nam-
ed Holloway.

WELCOME, TPL
Upon behalf of citizens of Red
River County in particular and
all of Northeast Texas generally,
this newspaper wishes to extend
congratulations and words of
welcome to the Texas Power &
Light Company, which has for
two years had a great steam elec-
tric generating plant under con-
struction on Sulphur river south-
east of Bogata in Red River
County.
^Mhe great plant started gener-
^Hg electricity on Tuesday
ril^ht. There was much excite-
ment, with skilled technicians
scurrying about like ants and the
hum of the great generator was
added to that of the steam tur-
bine as it started creating elec-
tric energy.
Towns in this area, including
Paris, Deport, Bogata, Talco,
Clarksville and Mt. Pleasant,
have profited from the influx of
skilled artisans who built the
great plant. These people have
lived in these towns, spent their
money and made new friend-
ships.
Only about 35 people will be
required to operate the plant,
now that it is built, but as a tax
payer in Red River County, TPL
will be quite a citizen.
This editor has known some of
tjy men who have directed TPL
MiA a quarter of a century. He
^■bws the history of their deal-
lies with the people and some-
thing of their financial position,
and they are all good.
We could be wrong, but we
can’t help but believe that coming
of this great plant to this section
will bring other industries. We
now have everything they need
—water, electricity and fuel, and
an abundant supply of labor.
Welcome, TPL. We are glad you
came!
Uncle Sam’s main worry now is
how to get that 360 million
pounds of greasy butter off his
hands.
