While we have. suffered. much from the slaekening up of industry in some of our manufacturing en- terprises, we, as a community, should continue to look upon the bright side and appreciate the fact that we are not dependent upon ons line of industry alone but that our demands for labor are diversified.
 All communities are passing through a period of readjustment, New London among the rest.

HAS OPTIMISTIC VIEW
 OF NEW YEARS PROSPECTS

As the old year vanishes into the past let us in memory give thought only to the pleasant happenings of which there were many, as we all benefited by the prosperity of the earlier months, and accept the re- suits of any adverse conditions as part of life's duty. Excess high speed with it's natural waste of en- er9y, eithr by man or machine, sooner or later calls for a halt to repair and readjust for another pc. riod of useful service, and the pres ent interval of readjustment is only natural consequence of the pre- ceding high rate of speed we have all been connected with. Pres ent indications justify a most opti- mstic vieW of the prospects for re- newed prosperity within the New Year, if each individual will accept his proportionate part in eheerfuIly working for that purpose.
 That the New Year may brinq to everyone it's full share of health, happiness ard prosperity is my earnest wish.
