H f.irj iVWOOD'-—lf I didn’t wish
lens a Happy New Year, In this,
the first,.,iperisage to you of the
year 185& even though the whisties
stopped blowing two weeks ago,
you might think l was very un
mindful of the past 365 days we
have spent so happily chatting o
ver this, and that and the other In
' Gossip Os Th.; Movie. Lots." So
clasping bunds across the moun
tains here's the best of all for you j
in the days ahead.
What an eventful year, 1958 has
been, the greatest in the history of
the world For our race our thea
trical. art has ris; n to its highest;
our civil rights status ha# made
its greatest battle; we have ad
vanced in everything but the scien
ces, and hid fair to do so In these
fields, r.otv that our eyes art' bet
tor opened, by the prejudice-driven
knowledge, that we must keep up
with the swiftly moving world of
science, and not depend on help
from the opposite race.
Agenda for the current year—To
turn out more great actors, singers,
painters, athletes, teachers, travel
ers.
