The /Yen- Year The New Year is with us, and while it holds Irttle hope for peace 4t <*ffers?untold and un measured opportunities in other fields. At no time can a people advance the common broth erhood of man more than they can when the going is hard and the times are discouraging. At no time can we evaluate better and more ac curate the meaning of those basic principles propounded by Christ on Calvary than in times of "stress when men's souls are stirred and when men's minds are awakened to the suffer ings and sorrows experienced by others Peace and prosperity may go by the board, but sure ly as the Almighty opens another year book, something will come in to give men a bright er and more lasting hope for the future. Breaking away from the past history of monotonous and questionable events, the world will, it is now firmly believed, write a brand new chapter in the year 1942. It is saddening to think and know as some already know that many will not be able to read the new chapter, but the many in the years to come will, in all probability, look back to the year 1942 as a time when a foundation was laid to lasting peace and a renewed hope was given to all mankind. The going may become hard in 1942. but in every day of the year we may turn our thoughts to little Wake Island and abandon hope only after we have satisfied ourselves that our lot ceptrd by the little courageous band of men Sireal. Ithtoil ami Tear* Hal Not Dark Day* Ahead Those dear friends who not so long ago look ed upon the world situation as a huge joke and who insisted on business as usual are now throwing up their hanjLs and screaming about what they call dark days ahead. Sad to re late, they are looking to the future as a period when profits may be forfeited and business as usual will be remembered only in the record ed pages of history There'll be sweat, blood and tears and sor row, and the days and times may be trying, but there need be no dark days ahead for America With its vast resources and a highlv developed industrial system, we need not experience hun ger, privation and starvation like unto that ex perienced by millions in Russia when even rev olution was recognized as a step toward relief. If our.resources were nearing exhaustion and our masses were regarded as things not human, we could with a marked degree of certainty see dark days ahead. There'll be sacrifices to be sure, but regardless of the drain all-out war may exact, American economy can and will re establish itself in one form or another to hold suffering and want to an aboslute minimum. To maintain a spark of light, however, we must stay off the greedy road, and accept the bigger responsibilities in maintaining America as we know America. The fellow who accumu lates while others suffer is very likely to be caught in his own trap. We must place our shoulder to the wheel and first save the coun try and then hope for our fair share of that which is saved. Some may call those days that offer nothing but sweat, blood and tears dark, but only those days devoid of hope are to be called dark. Am erica muct and will accept Its sorrows, but Am erica has no valid reason to abandon hope. And if 397 poorly equipped Marines on Wake Island could maintain hope and carry on as long as they did there is no reason why we as a people in this great land can't carry on to the end and to final victory. Love Thy Neighbor ?> . When no one in this town squabbles with anyone else in town for the period of a year, I think it is safe to predict that the world can from then on look forward to lasting peace. For most of the causes of war, if reduced to simplest terms, grow out of the same kind of ill-temper, poor sportsmanship, misunderstand ing, greediness and bullying which make neigh bors stop speaking, wives and husbands seek divorces and boys start swinging at one an other's jaw. Nations have the same characteristics as the people who make up those nations. So long as people are impatient, easily angered, quick to jump at wrong conclusions and anxious to get revenge, nations will continue to play those ,same roles. Ignoring for the moment the issues of this war or any other war, there is little doubt that the permanent end of war awaits the time when all people will live according to the command ment, "Love thy neighbor." How can we expect nations to remain at peace as long as many of us are unable to solve the petty problems of keeping peace in our homes, our towns and among rival groups in our own nation.?Contributed. A Com fort in fi Thimght While groaning at the thought of higher taxes ahe ad, pause and remember that times also will be better. Governmental agencies in form us that farm prices in 1942 will be 25 per cent higher than this year, while the national income will advance from 19 to 15 per cent, or more than 10 billions of dollars. Wages of work ers. already at new heights, will soar on up ward until they are virtually double whaf they were early in 1940. Cash farm income next year is estimated at 13 billion dollars, as con trasted with 9 billions in 1940, and H billions this year Best of all. the cost of living has not and will not increase at anywhere near the -same ratio as wages nnrt menmr And so bring on the high taxes imperative for a safe and strong America. We'll have more money next yera with which to pay them Missouri Dem ocratic State Committee. ff 'fw4 In Tim Pattern? By Ruth Taylor. There is a pattern to life. Sometimes H seems vague and indistinct. Sometimes we cannot see it at all. But it is there?clear and sharp if we can attain the proper perspective. Sometimes wo have to get up in the air in order to look down upon ourselves. Not "down" in a derogatory sense, but from "above" in or der to get the full view of where we are head ing When we look from from a plane, we see the whole countryside neatly spread out before us. The small uglinesses disappear. What we see is beautiful in form, geometric in outline, a shading of colors, each distinct, yet creating a harmonious whole. We see the brown ribbons of the roads, threading through the countryside, converging and diverging with relentless logic. There is a* sense of oneness, of completeness. There are rio state lines or man-made barriers of prejudice visible from the air. So it is in the present crisis. We need to lift ourselves above the stress of hatreds, the fever of conflicting beliefs, the horror of the pesti lence that is war. We need to look down upon all this turmoil. We need to see it for what it is?a blazing, sear ing crucible in which we are being forged into a united nation of loyal citizens who have at heart the survival of our nation, the good of all, regardless of class, race, creed or color. We need to rise high enough so that the dividing lines will fade out and the pattern of democracy become plain. When we come down to earth, we must keep this vision with us. For, while we have nation al unity forged in the heat of emergency, we must take steps to protect and preserve that unity throughout the dark war-torn days that lie ahead so that when the hour of crisis has passed it will be a living force binding togeth er all the peoples of our nation. Rrxolvetl: By Ruih Taylor. Two hundred years ago, Jonathan Edwards, the eloquent preacher of early Colonial days, carefully penned his resolves?the creed by which he planned to live. Strict tliey were, for he was firm with himself, but among them is one which every American needs to take to heart on this New Year's Day 1942. "Resolved: never to do anything which 1 should despise or think meanly of in another." This is a resolve which can and must be kept, and which, in spite of its negative phrasing, is constructive. It can be kept, because this land of ours is free. We are still free souls. Overseas the hap less people of the conquered and subjugated nations are forced into acts utterly foreign to their own religious and national ideals, while in the totalitarian countries, the souls as well m the bodies of men arc regimented. They hate and worship at the nod of a power-drunk dic tator. But here we are still free to think. No one can make us do anything we do not want to do. No one can make us lie, or cheat, or steal, or be cruel, or intolerant, or bear false witness against our neighbor. We are free to make our own decisions and we are free to do right. We can make a resolve?and we can keep it. It is constructive?for its very negation calls for action. We despise crueltj^.we can avoid ft By Beirjtf Kind. We despise treachery; we can avoid It by being true to our ideals. We despise lying; we can avoid it by speaking the truth. We despise sabotage of elected authority or community programs; we can avoid it by co operating with our fellow-men for the good of all. We despise discrimination; we can avoid it by treating our neighbor as an individual, never generalizing in derogatory terms about any group. We despise unfairness; we can avoid it by being fair. What the year may mean depends upon each and every one of us. Let us resolve, therefore, to set our own house in order, to be the person we want to and can be?and never to do any thing which wa should despise or think mean ly of in another. Bui mass fllsli?
