Ar THIS TIME of resolution-
making it might be apropos to recall the
words of a wise old philosopher of a
long forgotten era. He said:
"Every first of January that we arrive at
is an imaginary mile-stone on the track
of human life; at once a resting place for
thought and meditation and a starting
point for fresh exertion in the perform-
ance of our journey. The mart who does
not propose to himself to be better this
year than he was last must be either very
good or very bad indeed."
We wish you a very Happy New Year
