1966-1967

At the end of a year and the efart of a new year, people always hw>k in two directions, back and forward Much time and words are sp nt reflecting on the past year. th. happiness and successes as well as the tragedies and failures This ranges from busiias to personal progress sp 'Ms to civic »t6ndvdness.

This is a war that is meant to presi rve peace if that makes any sense. On the other hand, some high officials see a< mar end to the war and some have stab-d it could last for years and finally just die OUt. The problems of the country inside its own borders are much the same. S’ me say we are gainrg greatly in such problems as •he racial - tuation and the war on poverty Others say n gains have been .o-n, but even losses »n many r sports.

Yet. in the next column in the newspapers, one ran read a’ ul the ever-increasing number of traffic deaths. Another reta rd for Indiana was estab-h-hed this year.

Dreams can be made c.i. ;ly win n one assesses the assets on the positive .side of the ledger from 1966. but in projei tin : it into 1967, the liabilities must also be included. In family lite, one who has suffered through any kind of hardship may think the worst has to be over, but who knows what is in store for tomorrow. Where things have been rosy, maybe the thorny side is just to come. Changing from year to year means little except to write a different calendar year on checks and other papers. Taxi s, life, death, happiness and tragedy will still continue. Where and when, no one knows. Often one has little control of their future because they don't exert the effort m eded to hi Ip decide their destiny. At New Year's time, many always make resolutions. Very few keep them, but they do serve one purpose. How many people will vow to lose weight this year, or quit smoking? What will the number be that makes other promises of faults and habits they have formed? Still, making the resolutions, whether they be kept for a day or a lifetime, in so doing, one is usually thinking about their faults they would like to correct. Very few people would ever make a resolution to stop doing something good and unharmful. If nothing else, the guilt one feels in assessing themselves while making the resolutions, may njb off to some extent and make them just a little bit better. From all of us to all of you. we wish you a very happy and prosperous New Year and hopfor many more to follow.
