Almost all the world makes a lot of New Year’s Day, but some places make more of it than ifth~ ers. In some places the first of January is everybody’s birthday. There are places where it is the chief symbol of people’s hopes, and the observance of the day is the peak experience of an other wise dreary year. However much or little we may observe it, a deep meaning is hidden in the notice we give of the entry of the new year. The fact that we notice it at all is a distinctive feature of our human nature. Man is a being who is able to notice a “NOW”, and to remember that there was a “THEN” which has now gone by forever, and to imagine another “THEN” of the future that has not yet come to life. An animal cannot do this, and therefore we dare assure ourselves we are a notch higher than the animals. This strengthens the sense of self-respect that we have within us; it also engenders pride in our superiority over the lower forms of life. Our humanity also expresses itself in a less praiseworthy way when it chafes over this slavery to Time. The rebel within us ris es up in anger over the hold that Time has on us. You say you are not a rebel against the Tyrant Time? If you have ever been an noyed because you could not re If This 'Hctv sign means'-- JMORE FEEDING VALUE: from my grain -/ The man > 8 right.

The fact is, we are distinctively human in the way we grasp after becoming more than Man. That is to say, we are dissatisfied at having to lose the past and wait for the .future. There seems to be an inmate greed in the. human heart to hold on to the past and to lay hold of the 'future sooner than is allowable. How much we love the past is shown in the current interest in antiques and in genealogies and miscellaneous historical lore. How impatient we are to have the fu ture unfold itself with unnatural precipitateness shows itself in the little child’s eagerness to be grown up or in his impatience at the long wait until Christmas morning. The suspense of the youth waiting to hear the results of his examinations or to find out whether his application for a job will have been accepted is another manifestation of the dif ficulty we have in being content just to be Man. The grim reality about us is that deep down in the natures of all of us there is a lurking wish to be god. For, one of the respects in which GotLdif fers from us is to be founcfltfc cisely at this point. The “THEN" of yesterday and the “THEN” of tomorrow are both a part of 80th MEMBER . . . UN Sec. Gen.

He supplemented what hf earned on the campus with what he earned during his sum mer vacations. His father had his own business and could use all the help he could get, particularly during the sum mer months when his employees had vacations. So Ralph worked for his father in a business:,in which he had no interest -and at a job he normally would never have undertaken, i.e., selling. He was no salesman and he knew it; he didn't even want to be a sales man. But sell, he must. Day after day went by and his sales counted for practically noth ing. He wasn't Interested in his customers nor in what they wanted. Then he read an article about an insurance salesman who went out to sell insurance and was a failure .That °ts.' until..,he was taught the value of enthusiasm. He put enthusiasm jhat he didn't God’s “NOW”. We men are tan talized with the wish that we could pull PAST and FUTURE out of their lairs and make them a part of our PRESENT. Life’s answer to this wish is inexorable frustration. We cannot do it. Let us therefore, in this New Year season strive to understand ourselves aright: to be thankful for what we are and. content not to be what we are not permitted to be. Let us appreciate the minds with which we are endowed, whereby we’ can divide the years from each other and conceive of*a new that succeeds the old, for this is a discrimination no ani mal has. New Year’s Day is just another day to every dog or horse or parakeet that we may have. Before God, we are to belittle ourselves, and Pemember the counsel given in the Epistle to the .Hebrews: "Ye have need of patience that, having done ’ the will of God, ye may receive the promise”. , _ _ New Year’s observance is thus the symbol of our two-fold na ture as human creatures, signify ing our power to distinguish past, present and future, but marking at the same time our creaturely limitation within the - framework, of Father Time.

He pretended to be enthusiastic over the article the next customer was interested in. and found himself ‘agrgSably sur prised when the sale was consum mated. He tried a dose of enthusi asm on the next customer, who. too, made a purchase. Throughout the day Ralph kept this up. ”Snd before the day was over he found himself really pleased when he supolied a customer with some thing he wanted. He began to feel truly enthusiastic over the goods he sold. Came the end of the summer. Said his father, “Son. 1 wish I could find a dozen young men who are as good at selling as ! you are. I could make a fortune— and so could they.” • When Ralph finished college, he found that we all have something to sell, whether it be our brains, our energy, or a commodity, and he found that this same Enthusi asm is a vital factor in selling suc cessfully whatever it is we have iJo sett n ' ..'I AGAIN REBUKES INTEGRA TION DECISION For the sec ond time in tw.o years U.

Let us quote this week from “Home Safety News Notes”, pub---'” lished by the Accident Prevention Section of the State Board of Health:— “The January slogan of the New . Jersey State Safety Council, ‘Good \ Homemaking Includes Safe Hou sekeeping’, is good for North Car olina, too. Every year there are more than 4,000,000 home acci dents in which someone is disab led for at least a beings a homemaker does not need to- be a hazardous occupation. However, | the homemaker is expected to daily with oemplicated mechani cal and electrical appliances, " steam and hot liquids, fire, sharp hand tools, glass and other sharp objects, detergents, cleansers, poisons, and heating equipment. Every homemaker would have far fewer accidents if she would read | the labels, learn the instructions, and follow the directions which manufacturers provide free with their various appliances, gadgets, and gimmicks; she should not expect a gadget which has no mechanical brain to think for her in an emergency”.
