NOT 4 BAD YEAR


While other sections OF the country look back on the
year which passes tonight with memories of tragedy
loss affcton and grief this is not true of Imperial
valley which has indeed many reasons to be thankful
Tor the treatment accorded it by the dying year
The year has this section take on new lease of
life, and experience period of bustlng activity that
presages greater things in the immediate years that are
to come.
Locally it is doubtful if our city has known better
year not even excepting the boom years of the war
when false prosperity existed here based on the fever
through which the civilized world was passing
1t has been splendidly constructive year. with new
building activities, both commercial and residential
reaching new high mark. There have been no great
tragedies such send whole communities into mourn
ing and grief We have escaped the storms the floods
and the disasters which have left their mark on other
communities Death has taken it's toll including some
whom the community could i'll afford lose but
this monarch of us all has touched US but lightly
There has been a renewed hope of better things to
starting in with the passage of the Swing john
son bill year ago. This has not only strengthened
those who have held through the long years fight
ing but has induced many Others to here to make
their future homes and investments ~
Excellent proof that the year has dealt kindly with
us, is in the statement of merchants practically
unanimous in saying that the Christmas trade year
greater than before despite the fact that the
rest of the country sorely hit by the collapse of the
stock market. et<@s:-.+
Pessmists always find fault with things and
they probably could point out many undesirable things
that happened in 1929 Those whose vision is not OBJ
scured by the pessmstic fog will agree that the year
good and will hope that the coming one will
treat equally we'll.
