IT’S GOING TO BE AS GOOD
AS WE’RE WILLING TO MAKE IT.
The year 1954 has come in and when the resolutions
have all been made, and just about everybody is back at their
accustomed tasks, is a better time to sum up things. As a
good old friend who had lived long and wisely used to say,
“We will live until we die.”
Which means, that since we are here and all of us wish
to stay here, it is up to us to keep on living, and make the
best of everything. So times in 1954 are going to be as good
as we are willing to make them.
Old people used to tell us if they couldn’t make two dol
lars, they would make one. They meant that tight times
didn’t stop them from working.
And old fisherman stopped into the office today, and
said he was amused as well as disgusted with the younger
fishermen who sat around the filling stations and loafed on
rainy days, complaining that fishing is no good. “I asked
them,” he said, “if they had been out to see. When I was a
boy, we went fishing weather or not. Sometimes we got fish,
and sometimes we didn’t, but we fished.”
Now there is a generation of adult citizens who came
up through a period when if things were a little difficult, it
had been customary, to run to the Government for help. But
in the days of our old fishermen friend, they didn’t know
how to do this, and they helped themselves.
Courage .energy and self-reliance can still do the same
thing, and make the man happier for it. But somebody has
to take the lead and encourage the populace in it.
We believe 1954 will be a good year for those who are
willing to work. It’s going to be more and more a buyers’
market, and naturally, as purveyors we must make good.
Those of us willing to give value received should get along
all rght. Those not willing to work, but who wish to run to
the Government for help may t>e disappointed.
We think it is going to be a good year in 1954. Natural
ly there is some dismay among the postmasters, who think
the Republicans will try to get them out of office. Os course
they will. Didn’t they try to get the Republicans out, and
isn’t it how they got in; the spoils of politics is part of the
game, and they have no right to expect better. Those who
live by the sword will die by it, says the Bible.
But let us cast aside the fears of politics. We will live
until we die. Let us make the best of it as well as the most
of the year 1954. We’ve all got a little gold mine on this coast
if we stick to it and work it. We won’t get any gold by sitting
around and mooning, or running around the country com
plaining about our fears.

TEXT: “Don’t make excuses
make good.”
Elbert Hubbard
A mid-westerner was
the beach watching a fair andWfc
stout bather enjoy herself in the
surf. He knew nothing of tides and
did not notice that each succeeding
wave came a little closer to his
feet. At last aan extra big wave
splashed over his shoe tops.
“Hey, there!” he yelled at the
fair, fat bather, “Quit your jumpin’
up and down. D’yuh want to drown
me?”
How ready we are to blame the
other fellow for a short-coming of
our own. Without thinking we try
to excuse ourselves for the em
barressment we feel by putting the
blame on someone else or some
thing else. To make excuses is
easy. Almost everyone does it
excepting successful folks. If they
make excuses at all, they make ex
cuses for the other fellow, and ac
cept the responsibility for error
themselves. If we would spring to
the defense of others as swiftly as
we make excuses for our short
comings, this would be a happy
world, indeed.
