NINETEEN TWENTY-FIVE
Happy New Year!

1
Have you recorded your resolu-
tions? An old moth-eaten, ragged
edged idea, that was productive
of whole bunch of, well- we'll
call them pervarications. But after
all, some resolutions come to us,
that if persisted in, would achieve
results far beyond our greatest an
ticipations. For instance, suppose we
were to resolve, as a nation, to alb
solutely obey the Volstead Act--how
quickly would come the end of "Pro-
hibition." Again, suppose we were
to resolve to meet every obligation
when due. and to honestly answer
of the wonderful time Congress
would have spending our money.
And still further suppose we We're
to resolve to take our place in the
worlds affairs, as a participant,
and not as an unofficial observer" "
how quickly would that dreaded
"red" propaganda and that cum
ming Hun pulicity fade away. Idle
fancies of the mind, true, but are
not all resolutions after all but
these?
Coming down to earth, though,
can't we in Solebury Township, as a
body, resolve that we will help
our road people to build and main
tain better roads Help the super
vising principal of our schools, by
giving timely kindly advice, where
little disgressions from the main
road of education are made? BY
| helping one another in the work that
goes to make our wealth and our
prosperity, by not being afraid to
| inform on and prosecute the illict
producer and the bootlegger of the
poison they make and dispense. And
lastly, resolving to support our
churches, send our children to Sun
day School, and back up the efforts
that earnest men and women are
making for better youth, manhood
and character.
New Years resolutions may be 8
time honored joke, but at the sam,
time it is not amiss to take ac-
count of stock of our failures anC
bad habits of the old year and de
termine to avoid them during tn,
new. And the New Hone Newsa. il
rendering you a happy and prosper
Gus New Year, wants to remind yoI
that it will endeavor to faithfully
| represent your interest and ask
your cooperation, by not only sub
scribing, but by keeping it advised
of such happenings, news, anc
honest criticism, as may come tt
your notice from time to time

a fractured nose. He was taken to

The accident happened on the
River Road just a few hundred feet
below the Titusville railroad sta
tion. Melvin Tomlinson, of Titus
vile, the driver of the bus, observed
the speedy approach of the Sakkau
car, and because of the erratic
course it was taking, he drew the
bus up as far on the side of the
road as possible and stopped The
Ford struck the bus glancing blow
on the left, and the shock completely
overturned Sakkau, wrecking his cal

NOTED ORCANIST
ATST. ANDREWS
Charles Leech Gulick
Gives Recital Sat
urday Evening.

Lambertville-Loca lovers of mu-
sic are to be congratulated on the
prospect of hearing one of Americas S
foremost organists next Saturday
evening at o'clock in St. Andrews
| Church. At that time Charles
Leech Gulick. who has been termed
Americas Virtuoso Organist," will
render a recital which should appeal
to everyone with love for music.
When Mr.. Gulick gave recital
i nthe New York City Town Hall,
the music critic of the New York
Herald-Tribune, one of the most
discriminating critics of that me-
tropolis, said, "Mr. Gulick is an or
ganist of skill and thorough compe-
I'tence." And "The Diapason," (Chi-
cago), said of his playing, "The en-
thusiasm of his audience was un-
usual throughout, and at the close
of the program the chancel was
packed with those who, unable, be-
cause of the place, to applaud, asked
for additional numbers. Three of
these We're given, and finally it was
necessary to extinguish the lights
as signal for the audience to de-
part"
Those who attended Mr.. Gulick's
recital in Trenton will recall the
plasure he gave his hearers. The
Trenton Times said of this recital
'The organ selections were such as
to evidence remarkable technical
ability, as well as exquisite sympa-
thy in delicate passages"
DR.. T. j. Bensley, rector of st.
Andrews, has announced that no
admission charges are to be made
at the coming recital, Saturday eve-
ming. A free-will offering will be
taken, however, and those who at
tend are assured of Mr.. Gulick' IS
usual program of enjoyable music.
