Passing through the holiday sea-
son with all its surprises and dis
appointments-with its joy, here
and there accompanied by a note OF
sorrow, we can face the New Year
with it's opportunities and possibili-
ties, with increased courage and
conviction that life is worth living,
and that friendship is a greater
asset than silver or gold.
He who has a thousand friends has
not a friend to spare,
And he who has an enemy, will meet
him everywhere.
