There will be expanded programs for Boy and Girl Scouts extending to every central community in the county. There will be increases in teacher salaries to keep the good teachers from leaving the profession and to entice more capable young people into teaching. The year 1947 looks good from here, but none of the anticipated objectives can be reached in lethargy and idleness. The year will be what the people, individually and collectively, make of it. The New Year The Journal-Patriot takes this oppor tunity to wish every reader a most happy and prosperous New Year. The curtain will fall tomorrow night on the year 1946, which has been momen tous in the history of the world. During the year now drawing to a close the nations of the world have been dig ging out from the debris pf a second World War. But perhaps of more significance have been the global efforts to frame an or ganization which will assure peace for the world. And if the peace of the world can be secured, prosperity will follow in its wake. With the nations of the world at peace ■we can e.xpect economic progress as nev er before witnessed in the historj" of the world. The people of America have every rea son to look forward to 1947 with happy anticipation. The coming frear should mark the end to serious shontages which have been as a millstone about the neck of progress during the war and.jaore fi3®ficiaAly.aiQj;e^ lict. ^ve of strikes, indus- reach a point more th the demand. But kthat the markets no one wants that Universal Service American Red Cross hospital workers in veterans’ hospitals in this country are getting used to receiving strange requests from the hospitalized men. But a recent episode topped them all. It seems a hos pital worker asked a young patient the customary holiday question, “What do you want for Christmas?” Expecting the usual answer of a blonde, a furlough, or even a discharge, the worker was totally unprepared for the answer she received. “I have a 4 months’ old son whom I’ve never seen, and I’d like nothing better than to hold a 4 months’ old boy in my arms for just a few moments,” was the amazing reply. That very afternoon a voung woman walked into the Red Cross building with a pink bundle in her arms. Seeing her, the worker approached and learned that the baby was exactly 4 months old. When she heard the novel Christmas wish lexpressed by the young soldier, the monher offered to loan her baby and the soUdier was asked to come to the building, pe reached eagerly for fee baby when me saw it. Right away he boy’s name?” The mo ther quickly replied, “Johnny.” After rocking the baby for a few minutes he handed it back and smilingly said, “That was a nice Christmas present.” It is hoped that he never learns that “Johnny” was really “Mary Jane.” that inflation- their peak in jonsumers may lable return lew legisla- feared wave ler up the in- h^ng /il in less • radio and I^Vers are orders • LIFTS BEHP WAY • WALTER £.

Bat iritli the' after-ChriStmae let-down we are led to wonder why we should not dig but the ones made last year, because they- have not been used. However, there Is one that has not paid off to date, and which we kept faithfully. We resolved to be honest In coffee Club matching and that has cost money. -- We resolve In the coming year not to rib the police unmerci fully, because they have done a fine Job, especially in getting rid of double parking. However, that is going to make it difficult on our job. FV)r the past few years when we ran out of any thing to write we could always sit down and write a column a- bout the evils of double parking in North Wllkesboro. It was al ways a good subject, and always worth a column or more just any old day. All we had to do to get material was to take one fast look down the street. Some day, just to fill space, we might take a fling at placing the city hall on a street of the town which la now seriously needed to loosen up the local traffic situation. After all, we do grow up some times, and you can’t keep good town down. Much opposition has developed to placing parking meters on the streets, and we are not getting into that argument. We might pause to point out that parking meters should be very profitable. Slot pachlne players will always be trying to hit the jackpot, and they’ll have just about as much chance getting a jackpot out of the meters as they do the out lawed slot machines which flour ish so well in joints around the Wllkesboros. gffppoil the Yj M; r* N« Job Toe Leaf* «r Toe Bawl FREE estimates 0^' J.
