THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE
Ah Occasional Column
By MILES WOLFF
The New Y'enr is here.
Should this come as a surprise to
any who have not been referring to
their calendars with customary regu
larity, 1 point to the top of this page
insubstantiation of the fact that it is
January Ist.
It had been my plan to send all the
subscribers of The Times and Trb
une cards of greetings with appropri
ate verses on each o{ them. The verses
were to be assorted poetry, something'
1 on the order of sweet, sour, mixed and
dill.
1 say that hail beeu my plan. How
ever the rush of the Christmas sea
"son was just too much. Y'ou must
know how it is. Each morning’s mail
brings its quota of cards and so many,
many presents. Then. too, there
were all the social functions to be at
tended. *
Since 1 didn’t get to send out the
New Years gratings, I am printing
them in the Occasional Column and I
am giving the reader'the chance to se
lect his ’or her own verse Here they
are:
Budweiser and beer
Budweiser and beer
Here 1 come with an armload of ciieer.
No gifts do I bring, as you plainly can
see •
Rut I'm hoping your New Year so
happy will be
That your days may be one continual
spree
Oh my and oh me 1
Oh my and oh ine!
For the reader who likes his greet
ings served up with a classical flavor,
here are two :
Lives of great men all remind us
We. should make our lives sublime
And departing leave behind us
Post cards on tile sands of time
Happy New Year.
Or —
Breathes there a man with soul so
dead
Who hasn’t happy New Y'enr said? j
There will, no doubt, be some of the I
intelligensia who will want greetings j
and for these we are printing cur I
best blank verse remembrance. Any j
person who doubts that this is really !
a piece of modern poetry is asked to j
take riotice of the dots used.

Here is where your trouble begins
The New Y'ear is here
And it seems to be clear
That bills by scores will once more

While we are on the subject of
poems, the cleverest Christmas card |
I saw this year had on it a poem
which was written by A1 Fajrbrother,
veteran North Carolina newspaper
man. To get full benefit of the card,
you should see the drawings on it.
However. I can give you the poem.
Here it is:
In these Volstead days of sadness
(Mourning tor John Barleycorn)
Let me fill your soul witl> gladness
On this radiant Yuletide morn :
Take ope half pint of clear water—
(Aqua pura sounds more swell!)
Add another half pint to it
(Don’t forget to shake it well).
As you drink it. think it’s likker
Creeping through the gray brain cell—
Then you'll have the Christmas feeling
Y’es, Old Man, you will—like hell I

SOUND FINANCIAL STATUS
Greensboro Record.
All the people of this state have
oau*e to congratulate themselves and
to feel proud of the soundness of the
state's* finances as strikingly demon
strated in the advantageous sale of
520.125.000 of her securities, an
nounced from Raleigh Monday. The
; sale of those 4 1-2 per cent, was at
j a premium of 8 cents on tfie dollar.
' Much credit for this fine sale must
! go to Governor Anglic W. McLean,
| who during a recent visit to New
j York played the largest part in negb
| dating it. Rut aside from his actual
| participation in the sale of the bonds,
j his judgment in withholding them
! from the market until an opportune
time tended to relieve the tendency
I of State securities generally to slump
I owing to the heavy volume recently
being offered by states and municipal
ities.
It should bo said in this connection
that more than half his big offering
was made up of bond* authorized by
the General Assembly of 1f)23. before
Governor McLeah assumed office. It
' was he more than any other person
or influetice who withheld these 1023
bonds from the market until now.
Meanwhile the State has financed its
immediate needs for which this 1023
issue of bonds was by
means of Miiort-term notes on which
money could be secured at an actual
! loy lower rate of interest than many
| bonds bear. In view of these facts,
j the executive must be given credit for
wise and sound financiering and in
demonstrating that he is one of the
, best business governors the state has
ever had.
The first big achievement of the
: governor was in taking and maintain
ing a firm stand against the bond ele
ment which showed a disposition to
i issue road bonds too freely, heedless
!of the probable consequences. By
j ‘ins unyielding attitude of conserva
tism in finance and in expenditures,
he succeeded in reducing the project
bond issue this year by about 50 per
j cent, of the amount the pro-bond e’.e
--i inent of the Legislature and of the
state was clamoring for. He refused
to kill the goose that lays the golden
egg or even to take a chance on crip
pling the valuable fowl. Now ail
men recognize his wisdom and have,
cause to be grateful that such a con
servatlve-jrogressive occupies the eX
ecutixe office.
We beg leave tp proffer our con
gratulations to Governor McLean. He
has impressed himself more deeply
then ever upon >the state and con
firmed the wisdo'm of its people in
entrusting him with the large powers
and the responsibilities that go with
them.
