As you read your newspapers and
listen to your radio and watch your
TV on this New Year's Day you'll
hear a lot of rosy predictions about
this new year that is beginning. I
The old year that died at midnight
wasn i au it might have been. Bui
me new year that was born as
the old year died is going to h
WONDERFUL.
Off with the old.
On with the new.
Hope springs eternal in the hu
man breast.
"I'was ever thus. Always, to man
kind, the future has looked brighter
than the past has been. Always the
Mar ol ilope has led us on.
It's wonderful it's that way. With
cut hope, life would be a" drab
adventure. And . . . over the long
centuries ... the world HAS got
better and better instead of getting
worse and worse,
lint
Let's not forget this:
THIS NEW YEAR THAT IS JUST
BEGINNING WILL BE WHAT WE
MAKE IT.
It won't just automatically be
better than the year that has
ended.
There's a lot of cynicism about
th's modern worid. There's a lot
of cynicism about our modern
America. There's a lot that's
wrong about this modern world.
There's a lot that's wrong with our
modern America.'
But it isn't all bad. And the
people aren't all bad. The things
that are clean and beautiful and
good aren't all being ignored.
In proof of this, I'd like to cite
the 71st annual Tournament of.
Hoses whose parade, as this
is written, is still wending its way
through the streets of Pasadena.
It was cold in Pasadena last
night. At 1 a.m., the mercury
dropped to 31. It was still cold
at daylight. But when the parade
began a million persons lined the
route. The crowd began to . as
semble early. By midnight people
were packed tightly along the
itrwts the parade would follow.
Small fires were built against the
curbings in empty garbage cans
and other metal containers. Hun
dreds of persons curled in sleeping
bags on lawns bordering the route,1
or slept in folding cots at the
curbsides. Parents and children
were wrapped in all manner of
brightly colored blankets. Teen
agers kept warm by dancing in
the streets to music from portable
radios.
Typical viewers, interviewed by
.eporters looking for human in
terest sidelights, were the Glenn
Van Meters, from Riverside. They

Gals, Start Now
If You Plan
Leap Year Drive
WASHINGTON UPl-Girls, if
you're planning to take advantage
of leap year and try to snare a
maa in 11160, be prepared for some
stiff competition.
The fact is there are more fe
males than males in the popula
tion.. And, ladies, the surplus in
creases with age. .
The census bureau released these
statistics Thursday night. It said
New Year's day finds the nation
with a population of 179.300.000, an
increase of 2,900.000 people over
a year ago.
The bureau estimated there are
about 980 U.S. males for every
1.000 females. The totals as of last
July were 87.651,000 males and 89,-j
452,000 females.
But above age 30. when a "girl"
is most likely to be interested in
leap year prerogatives the ratio
is only 917 males per 1.000 females.
