M unselfishly to assist them m . their misfortune. When dis-. Li- aster is close at hand few are those who coldly pass by on the other side. Across the ocean there is an impression that this is a hard-boiled, money-grabbing nation, inhabited, by a race of hustlers who are first and last for themseives. But never has there been a great, life-destroying disaster at home or abroad that American hands have not gone quickly to Ameri can pockets and supplied therefrom relief in generous measure. , Unemployment, illness, poverty meant disaster, for many . this Christmas. No toys and candy for the children, fuel and food for none, no medicine for the sick, and rags for many were in prospect. These are the disasters the Ameri can people like to cope with. And how were they met this year? 1 If anylwdy went without a Christmas dinner, without suf ficient fuel and clothing for Christmas cheer and comfort, without the gifts without which Christmas would be just another day, it was because he had so completely shut him self up that combing philanthropists and charity workers could not break in to discover the want. Materialistic? Self-centered? Impossible of a people who consider it a calamity for one unfortunate to be forgotten at Christmas. yowl n.,t , Arti'i IviIoiht Jlyrtl (ills luirk from tin south Kile the mmiuU lnhliy rmnmillt'o inluht kU liim to fly ovt-r I In? simar rniiilflra- thills.

A representative of a national association of building own ers and managers has come to the conclusion, like other observers, that municipal government is not what it should be.

The man with the savings account in a sound institution knows his money is safe, knows that it is only a matter of time until he has a neat little fortune. ' Whether you are looking forward to the declining years of old age or to the fruitful years of youth and maturity, each New Year is very much what each in dividual makes it. Those who exercise thrift, energy, integrity, find the making of a happy year quite natural. For ourselves, we can only hope to have a part in that kind of happiness and to promote it by a broader and more comprehensive financial service to you and to the community.
