The Future Has A Halo

Hope is a great word, and it is
almost the property of each January
l. As the old year passes into eter-
nifty, man hopes for great things.
The new year is the untarnished,
and often as not, cloaked by freshly
fallen snow, January is the heart
of innocence, for we are inclined
to wipe the slate each DEFENDERS
end, and look only to the future.
1t is hope for health and material
gain, better station iD life, more
adequate support of family, and
recognition of, Or better service to,

the people among whom we live,
that causes men, women and child
rem to look ahead. Great things are
dreamed for the coming year.
This is favored valley in the very
lard of hope. A frontier area that
in 1916 witnessed the coming to life
of old communities, and the start
of new, for big developments are
to take place. It is the hard work
Of men and women that is bringing
about more business establishments
and homes in this most scenic area.
May hope be realized. MR
