NOT SO BAD
While some local wise crack
ers and critics characterize
(he jokes in our “Just for Fun"
column as “stale ” and “bum,"
and affect to wonder why we
put such “drivel” in the paper,!
we note—and admit feeling
.-•omewhat complimented by
the fact—that a considerable
number referring to local j
people were thought suffici
ently “worth while” to be re
printed recently by that well
known journal. The Alaska
Weekly, of Seattle—and on
its front page at that!
-Q
HELP HYDER TO ADVANCE
In ancient tim^s a city was a
place where confederated fam
ilies gathered for a common
purpose, that of worship or
protection and so on. Today
v e have the incorporated city,
with its government, its in
do’tD'es, its schools, its librar
i- s. its churches-a much more
complicated affair. But that
expression "common purpose”
•till applies. A city cannot
thrive and grow and prosper
.1 1 »ss that common purpose is i
in evidence. The basic prin- j
ciple of all life is action. In the j
city industry is the base of its
life and growth. It is the base
of its pleasures and recre
ations. Only the man who is
financially independent can
enjoy his hours of leisure to
the full. Idleness is not happi
ness, as innumerable persons
know who are cursed with too
many unfilled hours.
Have we in Hyder a common
purpose? Are we all desirous
for the advancement of the
city as a whole? By this we
mean the advancement of the
people- as a whole. When a
man or a corporation takes
the. initiative and establishes a
business are we optimistic and
helpful in our attitude towards
him and his undertaking? Or
| do we say with a sorrowful
sigh, "Well, I hope he makes a
go of it, but I don’t think he
will?”
There is not an adult in this
2ity that cannot help or hinder
in its prosperity and it be
hooves each one of us to help
j and not hinder. It is the busi
i ness of the individual, if he be
a good citizen, to have always
a keen regard for the economic
side of community life. He
should use his best efforts to
foster going concerns here,
knowing that every concern
diat leaves the city, that every
worker who goes elsewhere
with his labor, subtracts from'
he wealth and growth of the
community he leaves behind.
The fostering of established
industries and the development
if new industries is the “com
non purpose” to which allj
litizens of Hyder should as-*
udously devote themselves.
These are the foundations up
in which our community life
rests.
-o
TO SPEAK OR
NOT TO SPEAK
Probably there is no gift
more fascinating than that
if fluent speech. Nor is there
any other gift so likely to lead
ts possessor into excesses and
ndiscretions. An oratorical
emperament, coupled with
■eally marked ability, is a com
bination of pecuilar possibili
ies. A cynic once said that
when the Lord gave a man a
hit'll tenor voice he seldom
rave him anything else. By
he same tokfen a musical
peai ing voice and extraordi
iary fluency are not always
• ompanied by studious hab
ta and sound judgment.
Mort gifted orators speak
oo often. No man, ot even a
-uper-man, can go on forever
speaking for the edification of
| his hearers. Either he will suf
fer physical breakdown or be
come a rhetorical parrot. Re
cently the president of a uni
versity in a western state re
marked, as he appeared before
i convention of some sort or
>the£, “This is my fifth speech
;oday.” And the day was but
wo-thirds gone when this con
cession was made. What is
his but an oratorical dissipat
on?
Public speakers who ax*e in
:onstant demand might profit
ibly soliquize after the fashion
of Hamlet, thus “To Speak or
Mot To Speak, That is the
Question.” Which is to say
;hat popular orators might
well consider declining a de
cent percentage of invitations
to orate.

Happy New Year! Something
magic
In the words that stir the
heart;
Old year’s gone, with annals
tragic,
And we’ll take a fresh, new
xtart!
Pass up all our frets and
troubles;
Turn our backs on trials and
~iles;
Let them fade
bubbles—
Greet the year
with smiles!
away like i
that’s
here
It is futile, friends, to worry |
Over past mistakes and frets;
Only gets us in a flurry—
Fills us full of vain regrets.
Yesterday is gone forever.
And today is bright with
cheer;
Now s the time to make en-1
deavor,
For a brand-new year is here! i
Look with faith unto to-mor
row ;
Glance not backward with a
sigh;
Wipe away each trace of sor- j
row
Let your heart with hope
soar high!
Joy you’ll get, if joy you’re
giving,
As the golden moments flit;
; Mow’s the time to do your liv
ing
, Now’s the time to do your
! “bit.”
Put old “dreary days” behind
vou;
Let old “might-have-beens”
lake flight;
Don’t let former failures blind
you
To the present’s promise
bright!
Just go bravely forward
knowing
That the future’s chocked
with cheer;
Let your cup be overflowing
With the joys of this
! New Year;
Just for Fun
i The preacher who says that
j a few pews of good-looking
I young women will draw young
t men to church evidently has
j observed the operation of
: cause and effect.
———
j “Do you get good marks in
school, my little man?”
. “Yes’m, but I can’t show
j 'em.” _
j The story is told that a wom
an stepped into a store and
told the proprietir she would
like to look at the pretty skirt
he had in the show window.
He replied: “Madam, that
isn’t a skirt, it is a lamp
shade.”
"Did you ever fall in love
with words?” inquired Messrs.
Funk & Wagnails as one man.
Oh, yes, indeed! Such as “En
closed find check.”
Ben-What are your two high
est ambitions?
Hubert-Blondes and Bru
nettes.
Some believe its cheaper to
pay rent than to own a home
and othes thot its cheaper to
move than do either.
Two Irishmen, one accompan
ied by his wife, met on the
street.
Said Pat to Mike: “Let me
present my wife to ye.”
“No thank ye,” said Mike.
“Oi got one of me own.”
Happiness is, after all, mere
ly a matter of mathematics.
Something to Do plus Someone
to Love plus Something to Look
Forward To equals Happiness.
A man in love will do any
thing, but he usually does
nothing.
Nothing hurts your luck as
much as thinking you haven’t
any.
Paddy says school houses
have become mere asylums for
football lunatics.
Wouldn’t it be too bad if we
were all as bad as our enemies
think?
It may be cheaper to marry
than to give her a Christmas
present.
It is a wise man who looks
things over instead of over
looking things.
A man who doesn’t feel
dressed up unless he has a
shave, will object to his wife
using rouge.
Very few men would work if
they had to ask the boss daily
for what they needed, as their
' wives do.
All compliments received are
the property of the person giv
ing them and should be re
turned.
! The freedom men really de
sire is freedom from the medi
ocrity that keeps them from
getting a million.
[ _
Parents who once yearned to
seem “refined” now have chil
dren who are content to seem
sophisticated.
Nowadays, the wolf who
dressed up in sheep’s clothing
would have called it caracul
and been in style.
“My fiancee says that all she
can do is to crack iqe--but the
ice she cracked is what its
cracked up to be.”
Tough the steam kettle is up
i to its neck in hot water, it con
itinues to sing.
“The Man Who Possesses a
Cheerful Disposition is Rich.”
A member of the Sisterhood
of Husband Hunters always
has her strings on two or three
prospects so when some
“thing” beats her to one of
them she can .fall back on
one of the others.
