We have been around for sixty-one years
this July, and we celebrate our birthday
quietly, with some degree of satisfaction,
and with much hope that we do better
in the future and enjoy expansion and
increased numbers of subscribers.
Celebrations of events bring up many
memories and mingled feelings. There are
people and experiences in the past whom
we recall with happiness and sadness.
But they are cherished memories, for
the people and our associations with them
in that past become more and more our
choicest treasures. Over a period of sixty
one years many of our friends pass on,
but they leave with us some part of them
selves, drawn from our happy associations
with them. And there are places where
we have been, which stand out as some
thing of holy ground. Our memories carry
in them the sweetness of friendly coun
tenances, the warmth and generosity of
great hearts, and touches of kindness
which can never be erased.
If there have been hardships along the
way, we can look back and see in them
benefits in development and enrichment
of character, and in understandings which
make for wisdom. We put all these people,
places, and things together and we have
a wholeness upon which we can draw
for strength and happiness today, and a
faith for the future. Naturally, as all
families do, the JOURNAL FAMILY has
grown in size, in the matrial used, in
advertising, in readers and subscribers
(and we hope it continues to grow). We
hope, and we intend, to make every ef
fort to improve our service to the area
in which we service.
In looking back, we become deeply
aware of changes in physical, social, econ
omic, and educational aspects of our na
tional life. Old buildings have been pull-

COOLEEMEE, N. C., THURSDAY, JULY 27, 1967
We Have A Birthday
Ed down and new larger ones built; social
patterns have changed radically, and
though millions are still ill-clad and ill
fed, there is a distribution of wealth and
the good things of life in greater measure
today than at any time in the known
history of the world.
Our greatest concern today is that with
all of our increases in knowledge and
wealth, there seems to be a decline in
the moral, ethical, and spiritual aspect of
life. And the Bible, history, and human
experience teach us that when "Wealth
accumulates and men decay" a nation is
in danger. One hope is that leaders every
where are recognizing this state of affairs,
and are making intelligent and determin
ed efforts to better the situation.
Anyway, we are glad to have had a
chance at life, we are grateful for every
good gift of life which has come our way
we are happy to be a part of the JOURN
AL family, and through it to serve our
community to the best of our ability; we
are happy that life has given us mora of
the sweet than the bitter, and we can
even be grateful for the hard places which
have strengthened and given us some
wisdom.
So, today, we give thanks for blessings,
and chiefly among them, the privilege of
living and serving in this community of
"warm hearts and gentle people". We
shall try to make our gratitude flow in
an ever increasing stream of usefulness to
all those who have helped make life
richer and better for us.
There are clouds across the face of the
nation today, but let us have faith that
the sun is still shining behind them, and
that a time will come when the clouds
will lift and the sun shall give life to the
world in an ever-increasing abundance.
