New Iberia is pleased beyond all mea-
sure at the spirit manifested by our
public-spirited men in responding so
courageously in furthering the cause
of up-building the community. 1t is
a splendid tribute to their loyalty to
the city and to the community and it
is this very loyalty which will carry
New Iberia into the realm of prosper
