Time to say goodbye to 1964. and we do so with mixed emotions.
It was a good year, full of progress and change. It was a year In which
we made many new friendships and cemented many old ones. It was
the forerunner, we hope, of many more good years In a fine, fast-'
jr owing community.
We know that the old year brought some disappointments, hard
ships and suffering. The recent flood has been a blow to many of our
fine people. But we know that our Morrow County residents are
resilient and strong. With this spirit and with a faith In the future we
look (forward to a better year in 1965. With this in mind our "Happy
New Year I" takes a new and true sincerity.
