It calls to effort like a peak not won, Or field of virgin snow in early sun. Where lies its destiny? None knows but God. The New Year THE NEW YEAR—The oldest thing the world knows. The sur est proof that the world goes on, and has no intention of stopping. The best reminder men have that they have come far in the world, and will go farther. A time to look forward—the only construc tive direction in which to look at any time. A time for resolutions —for the most part better un made; better to take the chosen course as it has always been, leaving no signposts at the turn ing. For the safest thing on which to rely is the thing that has been built up in time and character. “Charlie, do you know your wife is telling around that you can’t keep her in clothes?” “That’s nothing. I rented her an apartment and I can’t keep her in that either.” Highbrow: “Are you acquainted with Shakespeare ” Lowbrow: “Go on. Don’t kid me. I know he’s dead.” Burling And Spooling We are glad to be back after the Christmas holidays. Every body reports a nice time and San ta Claus was good to everyone.

A Fresh Start Now that the mill is turning out samples for the new year, brings to the minds of all of uS the fact that the old year is be' hind us, that we have turned the page on 1933, and are begin' ning the fresh sheet which wil^ record our accomplishments duf' ing 1934. Consciously or uncon' sciously, we all begin a new yea^ with greater hope and a brightei' outlook. It is human nature oP any first day of January to taH« a new lease on life, to a. greater or less extent, and push onwart^ with renewed courage. Just a® a textile plant discards all, or part of the previous year’s lin« of goods and presents samples ii^ a constant and never-ending at' tempt to improve its products, so we all strive to improve ourselveS' Our mill is rather human many of its aspects, due in vfi small measure to the fact tha* upon human effort rests its pro' gress.
