i er Gateway to The Oregon Caves A LIVE WIRE NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED IN THE INTERESTS OF THE ILLINOIS VALLEY AND SURROUNDING DISTRICTS Cave Junction. Oregon. Thursday, December 29, 1938 Volume II No. 34 The Old Year is just gasping its last breath and the wonderful New Year is just getting ready to put on its diapers and start in giving us “the works.” We call it a wonderful year, for none of us know what it holds for us. It is the uncertainty of realization that makes life worth living. If we knew wl was going to happen, it would rob us all the fun of gambling with life. According to all the experts, we are go ing to have a very full year of expectancy —A full year of more than usual prosper ity. We sincerely hope they know what they are talking about, but if they can’ do better than the football experts, we are in for a mess of a time. But the wizards of the century tabulate their reasoning under different specta cles than do the football wise there is not much in common them. Anyway, we would rather believe the financial experts than the football dopesters. So, we too, believe we are go ing to have a full year of better times than we had this last year. And the year was not so bad, taking everything into consideration. It could have been worse. Of course, this guy “Prosperity,” at times, seems a little hard to catch, but in the not too distant future, we are go ing to get a strangle hold on him and keep him with us for a while. He isn’t a bad guy. We can all help him like us if we would all believe in him and try to help him instead of cussing the daylights out of him. How would you like to bej called all the things “Prosperity” hasi»\ been called during the last year. Of course we would not like it, and that is a * reason we should all be charitable of the short comings of others and be friendly and warm to all, no matter who or where Christmas LLOYD LEWIS IS APPOINTED DEPUTY they come from. By so doing we reach out a neighborly hand to “Prosperity” who likes that sort of stuff. The past year has been a very fast year, but of course as w’e get older time goes by faster, or at least it seems to. It has been a fast year because so many things have happened that we could scarcely keep pace with what was going on. The old world saw so many changes it has kept the map makers working ov er time to keep the map of the world ac curate, and they still may be working next year. The New' Year has much promise— Much more than w’e can tell or imagine. For the most part, it will depend entire ly on ourselves just how this new’ born babe treats us. We can believe it will be great, and our belief will give added stimulant to the course “the gods” will take. In short, the New7 Year will be ex actly what we BELIEVE it will be, “be lieve it or not.” The Illinois Valley people can be ex ceedingly prosperous this New Year if they will cultivate “Prosperity” and be lieve in him. The mass thinking of the nearly 4000 people in this valley can cre- such a force nothing could stop “Pros perity” from coming in and staying. We are going to begin a series of ar ticles to tell you how to get acquainted with “Prosperity,” and hold his friend ship. It W’ill remain with you whether you do or not. Every week we are going to preach the philosophy of THOUGHT, RIGHT THINKING. You can take it or not, at your pleasure. Success can be yours for BELIEVING. How strong is your faith? Begin the New Year with the thought that “IT CAN BE DONE“ and your victory is well on its road.
