PROSPECTS FOR A HAPPY NEW YEAR
" The conventional greeting of a' Happy und Prosperous
New Year deserves a bit of special attention as we give up
December and start out with January, 'rftjs really some
thing more than a greeting or it wouldn't have lasted this
long. There must be something in the exchange of tho greet
ing that'eontributea to its fulfillment. !
We think there is. Take Christmas, for example. If you
meet enough people around Christmas time and are greeted
a sufficient-number of times with a "Merry Christmas I" or
n "Hope you have a fine Christmas!", the idea becomes con
tagious The psychological effect is to spread a general be
lief in tho fact that the holiday will be merry and the day.
thoroughly fine. . And, when you come to think of it, one
has considerable difficulty finding anyone who feels to the
Contrary.,qn that happy, occasion.' ' . ' :
The same theory can certainly apply for New Year's.
Actuall,wi4ivpiily-wiUiiuuhtnwe atfacWoivNow Year's
because there's a greater chance that the psychological ef
fect created will be more lasting. "Prosperous 1929 !" and
a cordial "Happy Now Year!" repeated frequently and force
fully enough tend to make one believe that the year will bo
just that,'', . . ;.; . .'' '. . ' .
; Which, s just aivother way of saying that happiness and
prosperity, are very, largely a state of mind, or the direct
result of it. And the happiest and most valuable New Year
wo could possibly wish this community would bo a widespread
mental attitude indicating confidence in the future; enthus
iasm for this city, this county, this stale; abounding energy -to
make the most of our varied opportunities for growth and ,
development) and increased prosperity, j
Such a state of mind dominant in a community would '
practically result in the elimination of bad times, because'
bad times come only when the exchange of money und goods
slows up following a loss of business enthusiasm and cunfi-
dence. Or one might wiy it would improve supply and de-'
mand, which is based, directly on what people want and how
they work which in turn is a direct reflection of their men
tal attitude. ,r 1
Men tire not liko machines. They cannot work day after
day at tense, high speed without some obvious signs of loss.
So it is that men spued up their efforts under pressure, then
blow down,, rest a bit, go at it again and so on through the
day and year. . And because business is merely our organized
human activities, it is sure to show some spurts, some pe
riods of rest, and a few unusual bursts of speed.
; When business is good, prices fair, employment satisfac
tory, crops profitable, wo are too busy to talk much, or think
mucn, aiHiut our prosperity, we are .speeding under pres
sure. But wo tire ourselves and slow up or slop to get our
breath. .Unconsciously wo make business do likewise (be
cause business is our productive life) and find a "dull" pe
riod about 'which. we comment and ponder lightly.
Being friendly and coiivcr;::;tional (and poor at finding
subjects for conversation), wc talk during our rest period
to others who are also slowing up or resting. "How's busi
ness?" "A little dull not so good rather quiet." A Her
nial conversation liotween two business acquaintances en
gaged in resting between spurts mutual because we al
ways speak first from our own cxiorienccs.
So tho story goes. When there is no rush of season or
occasion to interrupt our desire to loaf and pass business
gossip, it's astounding bow quickly we hear on every side
that business is "dull" or "quiet" or "not up with last year."
And its we were made to believe that everyone's Christmas
vas most merry, so then we arc made lo believe that business
as gone to pot. ' When it really has gone only to our heads
a human condition and unfortunate state of mind.
Fortunately for us and for our heads and pocketbooks,
1929 is getting off to an excellent start, so Veveryono says !"
Hoover, the prophet of efficiency and energy, will take over
the reins of government. Industiies have made satisfactory
gains, look hopefully ahead. Business, which can look back
on 1928 us one of the two best years in the last decade, starts
out with a burst of speed ami a wealth of optimism.
How fine it would be if people could forget to complain
and pass oij doubtful business gossip during tho coining year!
