Do You Keep New Years Resolutions?

Do you keep your New Years resolutions? Most people don’t even though hundreds of millions of resolutions are made each year. One member of this newspaper’s staff came up with an idea last week and it makes us winder if just maybe it would work. The idea —to make a list of all the things you plan to do in 1965, then check the list on July 1 and see how much you have accomplished.

A Nation Without Profit

If profits were eliminated entirely, the cost of goods and services could l>e reduced. That’s a truism — though the reductions would be much less than most people believe. And what else would happen ? For one thing, there’d be no investment in new plants and equipment. No one would put his money into these engines of progress if there was no chanre to earn a profit in return. Along with this, the source of new jobs, and vast numbers of existing jobs would dry up. No one could or would start a new business. It is the profit incentive that

A Stamp For Gas

The American Gas Association has asked the Post Office Department to issue a commemorative stamp in celebration of the industry’s 150th anniversary which will occur in 1966. There is ample precedent for this —for example, such stamps have been issued in honor of the electric light, the telegraph, and the oil industry. A stamp would help to draw attention to gas’ contribution to this nation’s economy and to the living standards of the people. In late years, the industry’s expansion has been truly spectacular. Top men in it see new and limitless horizons of opportunity. It is a highly versatile fuel and energy source, both in the home and in

It seems like a good idea to this editor and we think we’ll try it. How about you ? One of the first things to remember when writing the resolutions is not to write down any that you know’ you are not going to keep — that way it will be easier and you won’t be beaten before the middle of January. At any rate, resolutions or not, w’e hope you have a happy and prosperous New Year.

causes people to take the risks implicit in doing that. Government treasuries would be drained —a- large part of all the profit earned in this country is paid out in taxes. The national defense, like the economy, would soon be in a critical state. The whole American system would collapse, and we’d go downhill as a people at a dizzying rate. The size of profits varies from enterprise to enterprise, for many good reasons. But the average is about 5 per cent of the gross national product. In the light of what the whole country gets in return, profit is a tremendous bargain.

the home and in business. And technological advances constantly make it more so. Beyond that. the. industry is a splendid example of what investor-owned, taxpaying private enterprise means to the country. This is particularly important in the light of proposals in certain areas for municipal gas distribution systems. Communities may be induced to go deep into debt to build these — only to find that claims of rate reductions were exaggerated and that a heavy tax loss must be made up by all the taxpayers. The gas industry deserves its commemorative stamp. .

GIVE YOURSELF A 'LIFT

Dear Amy? Does medical science have a way to make people grow taller? If so. how and where can this be done? Shorty Dear Shorty? Medical science can’t perform miracles. Much depends ea your age, hereditary factors, etc. Talk It over with your doctor and be guided by his decision. P.S. To stretch a thought, however, give yourself a lift with a man-made miracle • > • elevator shoes. Acquiesce and be statuesque! o o o Dear Amy: I am 16, have a problem, need help, but have no one to turn to. I was dating a man who was 20, married, who had one child but was divorced. After he and I broke up, I, for some reason or other, started dating his best boyfriend who is 21, married with two children. He has been separated from his wife about seven months but she will not give him a divorce. About two weeks ago she saw us together. She tried to kill herself by cutting her arm and taking a bottle of sleeping pills. (Just think what she would do to me if she ever got hold of me.) She’s in the hospital now. My family doesn’t know he’s married, but I’m afraid they will find out. If they do, I’m sure they would disapprove and not let me see him. I don’t date boys my own age because they are too immature and have silly minds. This guylikes me, and I like him very much. Since he’s 21 and I’m 16, I’m sure we both could get into a lot of trouble. Should I keep on dating him? Jean Dear Jean: I'm not your parent, but your behavior is shocking to me. This man is not in love with you, nor are yon in love with him. If he weren’t seeing you, he would be dating another green kid like you. You are partly responsible for putting his wife in the hospital. And if that means nothing to you, you are ruining your own reputation and will lose the love and respect *f jour family and as— -i---incncub

It Happened In ... Milford, Indiana: Item Taken From The File* Os | The Milford Mail ?

20 YEARS AGO, DEC. 21, 1944 Mrs. Harold Gawthrop was hostess to the Busy Homemakers’ annual Christmas party on December 8 with Mrs. John Hollar as her assistant Lawrence Homan, seaman first class. Navy Seabee, is home on a 30-day furlough after being on the i Aleution Islands for 11 months. Marian Altvater was hostess at a ' Christmas party for members of the Milford sophomore class at the home j of Henry Martin Friday evening. Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Wilson were | pleasantly surprised Sunday evening I to remind them of. their 25th wed- ( ding anniversary on Monday. A son was born to Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Weisserof Peoria, 111. The i paternal grandmother, Mrs. Matthew > Weisser of Milford, is caring for | mother and child. Mrs. Florence Myers took up her j duties as a dental assistant in the office of Dr. Hugh C. Snyder last Tuesday. * Miss Lucille Williamson erf Atwood and Pvt. Glenn Grimm, son of i Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Grimm of Milford, were married November 25 by | Rev. Martin at Fort McClellan. Ala. Births include a daughter, Susan Diane, born December 13 to Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Beer at the McDonald hospital at Warsaw; a daughter, Connie Jo, bom to Lt. and Mrs. Sam Holbrook and state trooper Herschel Harper were investiagting officers. It was learned that Steven, the 'Burkholders’ eldest son, had changed a tank <rf bottled gas just minutes I before the explosion Steve reportedly told officers that his mother was working in the kitchen making candy, when the bottled gas for the cooking stove had apparently been I drained. Mrs. Burkholder asked her I son to change the tank so that she could complete her work. Gas apparently leaked from a I valve somewhere in the connection I and seeped under the floor of a utility room about 12 x 18 feet, attached to the west side of the house. Mrs. Burkholder was standing in front of a cupboard directly in front of the door leading to the utility room when the explosion occurred. The explosion blasted the door from its frame and toppled cooking utensils and dishes onto the floor. The blast also upshed the walls from the foundation and the roof toppled down to the floor. The explosion was so great that is smashed windows in the living room, a distance of some 25 feet, on both the north and east side of the bouse. Estimates of the damage have been reported at 95.500, with the possibility that the estimate may be $2,000 higher pending the extent of ."damage to the main portion of the home.

Stop seeing this married num and every other one yon have seen in the past. If boys your own age are immature, date boys 18 or 19. And if you find fault with them, maybe you’re too mature for your age and for your own good. Yon have a lot to learn about life and you have no business getting involved in the lives and families of married people. Stick with your own age group before you get hurt You are not looking for trouble, you are asking for it! • • • Dear Amy: We noticed that you have a different picture in the paper. Whose idea was that? What was wrong with the old one? The Neighbors Dear Neighbors: It was my ideal! The original picture was seven years old. I thought it was time to bring myself and you into focus. So I went into the darkroom and what you see above is what developed. Hope it clicks with you! • • * Dear Amy: My brother, 34 years old, is in a state hospital for seven years now. I visit him quite often. Could there be something radically wrong with him since he doesn’t come home, or are they (the staff) forgetting about him and don’t care if he comes home or not? Mr. B. Dear Mr. B.? Make an appointment to steak with your brother’s doctors. They are in a position to tell you what is being done, how be is progressing and when he will be home. For your own peace of mind, Jo this as soon as possible. • « * PERSONAL TO WONDER (Cleveland): Don’t let your imagination play tricks on you. What you describ* is normal. Your husband had no ‘cute tricks’ up his sleeve!
