years resolution yet? Yea, I

secrets when talking about his
age. Clifford McDuffy has COM
pleted his course and Is now
tonsorial artist. Keep up the

In view of the fact that we are
facing a new year, I thought that
this information would come In
handy. Immediately after reading
1t I secured a copy for personal
reference. II you care TO you may
do the same. Here 1t L. and
quote:
"All our lives long, every day
and every hour, we are engaged
In the process of accommodating
our changed and unchanged
selves to changed and unchanged
surroundings. Living In fact, Is
nothing else than the process of
accommodation. When we fail in
II little we are stupid, when we
fail flagrantly we are mad, when
we suspend 1t temporarily, we
are asleep, when we give up the
attempt altogether we die. A life
will be successful or not, accord
ing TO the power Of accommoda-
ton Is equal to or unequal to the
strain of fusing and adjusting in
ternal and external changes"
