hAr L, HAPPY NEW YEAR
10 you and you, may YOU eniov
many more. Goodbye old 1910. Won
VIII go down in history as one of the
most important periods in the Worlds
aHalrs. Great things happened while
many Uttered nerves were strained
ana many hearts throbbed with fear
ana alarm. Here's hoping that the
New Year 1941 has much in store fo,.
US all, failures to be marked bv sue
cess; poverty and grief to be overcome
with prosperity and delight, fear and
danger to be overcome with love and
goodwill to all mankind.
