have too many New Year resolutions.
They are generally written IN the
sand. They don't last. We should
do right and deal fairly and honest
" all the time. Then we don't need
new year resolutions. I happened
to get hold Of paper the other day
i think it was the Dllon Times
which contains some resolutions for
the new year, both for men and Wo-
men. They are pretty good-that IS
| think so-and I believe [ would
like TO print them in this column, but
there is no especial reason why they
are any more appropriate at this
season than at any other time. Here
they are;
