"Ring out the old year and ring
in the new!"
Those words have been spoken
and written many a time in the
past, and remind us of the old Gus
tom of ringing bells at the magic
hour of midnight. when one year
turns into another. Nowadays bells
do not play such big part, but we
still may hear them along with
whistles, horns, rattles and other
noise making instruments.
There is in the human heart
feeling of hope which rises even
when our affairs are in a very sad
state. We see sorrow and mistakes.

ing because people are of different
types, and think in different ways.
If every one thought the same about
everything I believe that life would
be rather dull.
One important way to increase
our enjoyment is by opening our
eyes to the world around us. Every
kind of plant, every kind Of animal
and rock, has an interesting story.
The more we learn about them the
more they will mean to us.
Although we may never be able
to make the world perfect (and
probably should not want it that
way we can find new ways to enjoy
it as the years go by, and can help
others to enjoy it.
In the midst Of war people of the
present time seem to be stirred up
against the idea Of letting wars take
place. They see billions Of dollars
being poured into the work OF de-
struction, and they know that thou
sands Of human beings are dying
each day from bullets and bombs.
They feel that it is worth any sacri-
flee to be saved from Nazi rule, but
on the other hand they say that
such horror must not be allowed In
the future.
May the New Year of 1943 bring
with 1t at least the start of better
things to come. May steps be taken
so the children of today will be
spared needless suffering when they
grow to manhood and womanhood,
and may the way to healthy,
friendly, helpful and happy lives be
opened to theml

Raj Pounds Bochum,
Ruhr Steel Center;
3 Bombers MISSING
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, Sept. 3O.-Returning
to Germany's great Ruhr con-
centration of war industry after
an interval Of a month, a British
bomber fleet last night gave the
big iron city of Bochum its fifth
heavy pounding of the year, it
was announced today.
A communique said eight bombers
were missing.
Other objectives in the Ruhr VAL
ley also were hit in the, raid, the
RATS third attack against German
war targets in the last eight nights.
Bochum, last attacked on June 25.
is the center of Ruhr coke and steel
industry. tH1sz ns
Large Steel Works in City.
A heavy night raid on June IL
devastated 1870 acres in the center
of the city, which has a population
of 100000 Three large steel works,
including branches of the Krupp
Combine. are situated there, as well
as many important coke, coal, iron
tin, zinc and chemical works.
One hundred and fifty miles inland
from the Dutch coast, Bochum is
situated IL miles west of Dortmund
amid other frequently bombed cities
such as Duisburg, Krefeld and
Munchen- -Gladbach.
The attack represented the third
blow this week at the Nazis' great
industrial artery, the Dortmund- Ems
Canal.
Berlin Reports Damage.
The Berlin radio, in broadcast
! recorded by the Associated Press
here, said bombs dropped during the
night damaged the residential quar-
ters of several towns, particularly
in Bochum"
Berlin also broadcast Stockholm
dispatch reporting that foreign,
planes passed over Southern Sweden
in the night, flying in a southerly
direction. What connection this had
with the attack on the Ruhr was
problematical. unless the British
squadrons followed a circle route to
avoid the heavy anti-aircraft de-
lenses concentrated along the Chan
mel coasts.
