THROUGH
HAZEL
EYES
by Hazel Bronnon Smith

The greatest wish that we could
make for all our friends and read
ers is for your complete happin-
ess - for happiness is the ulti-
mate achievement of man.
Regardless of how much money
we might have, how high our po-
sition or how wide our fame, it
matters little if we aren't happy
or satisfied.
For some it takes little for hap
piness or contentment. They are
the lucky ones.
Others require more.
So our wish for you at this holi-
day season is that you will have
now and in the future what it
takes to make you happy
whether it will be a great deal or
a little.

The most beautiful thing about
a New Year is that it represents
q new start, a new life. We have
before us 365 clean pages in it. We
alone can write achievements or
failures on the pages Of our par

While American troops are
fighting a DESPERATE battle for the
honor of the United Nations it is
a terrific jolt to read where Eng
lands sale of war materials to
Red China rose sixty per cent
during the month of November.
Not only does Britain continue
to sell war materials to Red China
but machinery, much of it with a
war-making potential, accounted
for more than 80 per cent of her
exports to five European nations
behind the iron curtain.
These facts are indicative of
the complete lack of system and
coordination in Americas plann-
ing and pointedly emphasizes our
lack of intelligent leadership -
at a time when leadership is sore
ly needed.
We have truly slipped up in this
country somewhere along the
line - sending boys to do the
work of men in Korea, providing
them with bullets and at the
same time providing the bullets to
be shot at them by our enemies
1t is no wonder that throughout
the length and breadth of this
country our people have lost con-
fidence in our administration in
Washington.
II our congressman 'tont ge'
busy and exercise the powers in
vested in them by our constitu-
ton soon we are liable to wake
up too late.

Mary Stewards Collect is a
prayer which humanity the world
over might raise to Higher Pow
er q prayer which we all
might utter at this time of resolu-
tion-making. 1t Is:
Keep us, o God, from petit
ness, let us be large in thought,
word, in deed. Let us be done
with fault-finding and leave off
self-seeking. May we put away
pretense and meet each other
face to face without self-pity
and without prejudice.
May we never be hasty in
judgment and always generous.
Let us take time for all things,
make US to grow calm, serene,
gentle. Teach us to put into ac-
ton our better impulses, straight
forward, and unafraid.
Grant that we may realize il
is the little things that create diff
ferences; that in the big things
of life we are as one.
And may we strive to touch
and to know the great common
human heart of us all, and, o, God
let us not forget to be kind"
