For 15 minutes and more the whistles sounded and the happy welcome to little 1937 went on. After the initial outburst, it went on until early this morning. Churches holding watch services were filled to capacity; lights blaz- ed forth from all over the city and {it was generally admitted an en- thusiastic welcome to the new year.
