(Contents do I nt n"cess.i rily express the opin I i'n rf this newspaper.) THE OLD AND THE NEW Now with the passing of the ' old year, and the coming of the new" I am reminded of the great - importance of time and of the use I have made of the three i hundred sixty-six days that ! have come and gene during the j last year. I am also impressed with the fact that I can not ( retrace any steps that I have ! taken, which reminds one of a j traveler passing through a j sandy desert. The way is lpst to I me forever. Here I would say. j no doubt the many other who have lived through the days cf ! the past year I have tried to do j my best, but have failed in some j respects. I have had adversity, ; disappointment, suffering and heartache, and many difficul J ties to over come, but here I j would say have you missed your aim'.' Well the mark is still snining. uia you iamt in me race? Well, take breath for the next. Did the clouds drive you back? But see yonder their lining. Were ycu tempted and fell? Let it serve for a text' and as we launch out for the New Year, with renewed courage, with hope and aspiration, let us grasp Father Time by the fore lock and methinks at the closing of 1953 a year from now, we can truthfully say, my time has been well spent, my effort has not been in vain.
