Again we stand on the thres
hold of New Year with its myst
eries and uncertainties before
us. To some it will bring good
fortune, wealth, pleasure--to
others misfortune, misery and
tragedy. There is no apparent
difference between this day and
yesterday or tomorrow bui it
is marked off on our calendar as
the beginning of another mile
stone and this lias led to the pra
dice of making wierd and worn!
ei-ful Nru Year resolutions to be
broken in a day or a vveek or a
month. Was a New Year resolut

New Year is as good a point as
any to start into the futu't
with our shoulders
squarod
our heads held high and with an
unspokeh resolve in our minds
to make this year just a little
better than last year It doesn’t
so much matter what our endea
vor is in life just so long as we
have one, a goal to which all
our efforts are directed. We do
not belong particularly to tht
moralist school and to the mor
alist we leave the expounding o.
the dogmatic principles of right
and wrong But the man without
aim in life is a useless encum
branoe upon the Earth, a ship
without a rudder, drifting hither
and yon at the mercy of wind 1
and tide.
Be a man’s aim right or wr i
ong as judged by present, stand
ards, it does not m ttter so very
much, we think. What the world
needs is strong men: men who]
in adversity can throw back
their shoulders and smile. What
ever it professes to do it can be
taken for granted that the wor

the dictates of modern theories
of right and wrong. Not that we
idvocate flying in the face of alt;
established law and ordtrbecau

upon but what we want to imprj

lean resistance and allowing life
to mould them like putty instead
of carving out of life their dest

Citizens of McCarthy, let us
this year resolve that, laying
aside petty grievances and jealo
usies, we will try collectively to
forge ahead with our vision alw7
ays upon that goal which is ever
unattainable but not the less to
be striven for.
