Letters of Problemites give one an
insight into the very souls of men
and women of all stations in life, and
all ages; even girls and boys. And

something that was troubling me at
the moment has been asked and an

Dear Edith Here we are just
around the corner from another year
and as ! never fail to write to our
| New Years column, Pm sending this
letter to help cheer up the sad ones
and make the happy ones happier.
MAY each and every column-pal have
a very Happy New Year In fact, I'm
wishing every one of them the hap
! piest of all their years and hope they
also will help to brighten someone
else's life. So many little tots may
be without joy if we who are able do
not do our share and help contribute
to the needy ones. Let's all do little
more than is expected of us and we
will be more than repaid by the
hearts we make glad and the smiles
of satisfaction from those who appre-
ciate it.
want to wish YOU and all our
column friends Happy New Year,
especially Mother o. Two. Again
single her out, for she took much
interest in me and helped with her
kind advice. Hoping and trusting you
are in the best of health and are
happy, "Mother o. Two" and may
God take care of you in years to
come
