The Grand Opening Edition has been in the works for months. Newspaper staff mem­bers began months ago prepar­ing editorial and advertising copy for the eight special sec­tions that are included today besides the regular Sunday Leisure and comics sec­tions.
Those eight special sections each have a special color logo. Special sections are devoted to Medicine, Industry, Culture-Recreation, the Military, Education, Agriculture-Government, and the Newspaper.

For Telegram
Today, May 14, marks another landmark in the Temple Daily Telegram's history.
This date is significant because this is the day we dedicate and formally complete our move into the Telegram's new home the first that was ever de­signed and built to house our newspaper.
All of us here at the Telegram are excited and pleased with our elegant new home which is large enough to accommodate the presently installed big
new presses and our 153 employees and big enough to
. .
- even double the number of employees in the foreseea-
take care of the expected future growth of Temple
which will require even bigger presses and probably
future.
For 50 years the Telegram has been housed in the old opera house on the corner of Third Street and Avenue A. Since 1928 when it was remodeled for the Telegram's use, subsequent modifications have been made from time to time to make it possible to con­tinue publication.
Today's dedication of the new facility also marks the 71st anniversary year of the Telegram. Through good times and bad the Telegram has continued to publish 7 days a week without interruption since Nov­ember 1907 a in itself.
All of us here at the Telegram are sincerely grateful and wish to express our appreciation for the solid sup­port of our advertisers and the ever growing number of subscribers in our effort to publish a good newspaper.
We have been fortunate in maintaining a staff of competent, trained and loyal newspaper people with high ethical journalism standards supported by those with high technical skills and specialty training.
All the folks in the Telegram organization have tried to be a strong and effective force in the area, both as individuals and as a public service institution.
Through the many years of its publication, the Tele­gram organization has kept pace with printing technology and stayed ahead of the always confronting a good newspaper.
Again, to all our friends and clients both ad­vertisers and subscribers a big THANK YOU for your continued support throughout the years.
