Don Hlx brings on new
hope. The youngster who is suf-
fering in the hospital looks at the
ceiling and sees HOPE. Hope that
he will soon be out playing with
his little friends soon.
No matter what our station in
life may be, we all HOPE for
something better. The poor hope
for riches, the rich hope for
health, and the lonely ones hope
for friends. No matter how hard
the blow dealt by fate, we always
HOPE for better day tomorrow.
WORLD OF MEANING
We do our wishing before
Christmas. We do our hoping"
for the New Year. What a world
of meaning is wrapped up in
that little word. It is always in
front of us like a distant star.
How many of our shipmates
use that word unconsciously when
you. Hope you have your les
sons. you Hope mother won't
be cross" for something you
have done. you hope this and
hope that.
The word HOPE is the best we
can find to use for the New Year
Just around the corner. It is
like a dream to carry you on to
better things. Keep the fires of
HOPE always burning in your
heart, for without it life would
become drab and empty.
SKIPPER HOPES"
Right now we are hoping you
like our cartoon lessons in the
Sunday Herald Times; we hope
you like our broadcasts over WJSV
and we hope we haven't tired you
with this little "gab-feSt" about |
the word. Until we meet in this
same column tomorrow. Ship |
ahoy. THE OLD SKIPPER.
