COMMENCING A NEW YEAR As a matter of convenience we call January 1 New Year, whereas a matter of fact every day is a New Yuar. and a life time is the only period of existence about which we need to be concerned. for our lives do not ebb and flow like ocean tides nor change with the seasons. In the silent hour of midnight, like a mystic phantom, the Old Year glides out into darkness. Anti just as he disappears a dainty little cherub comes dancing in with laughing eyes. With his tiny lips he whispers of the wonderous gifts he holds safe hidden in his dimpled hands, for each of us. These sifts are not mythical- they are reaS’ for delivery to the man or woman who deserves them. The New Year’s festival is an inn in which folks reach a‘ the end of a long journey. They sit a while and are merry. They take up their journey again, of time* without a backward glance. They drift with the tide. Custom has designed New Year’s Day as a time for starting over again as a day for beginning a new’ effort -a determinar tion to rise above past weaknesses and failures by steering one's ship toward a definite goal. While we are wishing ourl friends a Happy New’ Year k“’s all wdsh ourselves some happiness, for happiness begets happiness; and the more wv have the more we can pass on to dlhers. Let’s resolve to be true to ourselves. This is a fitting season to discard the mental attitude of selfdepresiation and demand the best there is in self and in the world, . May rbe a Happy and Prosperous New Year to all readers and to all peoples, is the sincere wish of The Syracuse Journal.
