New Years Then and Now,

As long as people can remember,
there have been New Year parties.
The old Romans gave theirs in honor
Of Janus, the two-faced god. One face
looked back at the old, spent year,
and one face looked forward to the
new, fresh year. They gave presents
to him and to each other with the
hope that the new year would be
good to them. Some of the people who
lived long ago waited until the end of
March to celebrate the New Year.

JOY That All Can Have.

The Joy of living is best found in
the real success of life. Take away
success and there's no joy in life to
one alive to opportunities and respon-
sibilities. No live man is satisfied with
mere existence. for he wants to con-
tribute something to the worlds prog
ress, the worlds good. And it is in such
contribution that real JOY is found, the
satisfaction that comes from full reali
cation that one has done what he
could in the year given him. So this is
the joy this journal wishes every read
er may have the coming year; and will
have if they fully appreciate that the
new year is theirs. to make 1t truly {
happy new year.

like the white plain that
sweeps from the roadside to
the distant forest where the
gray squirrels are making tracks in the

1t is a great mystery that lies ahead,
a treasure house of endless POSSIBLE

short; shorter in absolute measure

each year, when October fades into
November, has wrought completeness.
No human life can bring completeness.
1t cannot bring completeness of knOwl-
edge or completeness of happiness or
completeness of good works. The best
man can do, in his poor. limited way,
Is to CLEAN as much wisdom and win
as much happiness and do as much
good as the number of his days per-

it may thus be rich and peaceful and

the blight Of wasted days and without
undue regret that what should have
