Greer Assistant Circulation Manager Assistant Circulation Manager £ I Welcome 1934 » - * Another hard year behind us. 1933 was a year that we shall not soon forget, it is clear that it Wat a year of changes. The American people have survived bank holidays and have witnessed the return of legal wines and beer. Regardless of what may be the pessimistic view point of some. President Roosevelt's somewhat radical gtograra for national recovery has done much for the sick nation. A world sick with depression is not to be easily restored to good health but this country seems to be.making rapid strides towards recovery. Front everywhere we have reliable reports of upward trends in buying, selling, and re employment The general disposition of the people is remarkably high er than it was this time a year ago. Continued success !in the fight for a return to normalcy depends upon many things, not the least of which is a sensible optimism and a fervent faith that will insure wholehearted cooperation in the plans of the government. With the New Year came the inevitable resolutions. ‘ Despite the fact that our more pessimistic sages insist that re«plutiqns are made only to be. broken, we believe that even a realization of dUr shortcom ings is a good imitation of our intention to amend our lives. There is a definite satisfaction in being able to wipe the proverbial slate clean and start anew. .* * < What 1934 holds in store for us, no one knows.
