Times (London) Lit, Sup, & W% COMING OF THE BLAV Edwards, RY FIRST There is a tendency to deprecate the making of New Years resolutions, just as there is a present tendency to dis- eard other customs of the past, The idea has prevalled for some years, perhaps, but which is more outspoken under the modern spirit of plain by E C speech—that there Is little use of making resolutions only to break them. The making of more resolu- tions, in other words, means putting up more standards the pulling down of which will only weaken the char- acter; only make us realize what weak creatures we are. Even the scientists talk of the basic fallacy of “good resolutions.”” The making of them, they say, emphasizes the importance of our bad hablits, bad tendencies. In order to make a good resolution to cease doing something injurious one must emphasize, of course, the hold that injurious thing has upon us. Contemplation of that bad habit, is the thought, makes that bad habit all the more formidable and, if one does not stop it absolutely ~—rarely the case—gives the habit a firmer hold upon us. All right! Grant these things are 80, if one will. Approach the New Year in another way, then. Smile about it; be glad that there has come another day to. begin another twelve-month during which we may progress as we know we are capable of progressing. Do not dwell morbidly upon shortcomings, but emphasize, to ourselves, our powers to succeed, to be happy, to radiate force. Allow our imagination to have full sway and bring up the vision of what we might be if only we took the trouble to be the sort of men and women we might Bcorn those things ordinarily called “bad habits.”” They have no hold over us at all. We will pay no more attention to them; we will not even think of them. They are nothing in our young lives. It we meet them on the street we will just cut them dead and go about our business of being somebody, accomplishing those things we are capable of accomplishing. Let the imagination picture the delight- ful life that will be ours when we go at our jobs happily, knowing how well we can do them, realizing the satisfac- tion that comes frem work well done unhandicapped by the trifles that may have held us back a littie in the past. Make the new year bright, lighted by the spirit of confidence and op- t!Lzfl!m., It will be the best year of our lives. TO OUR ADVERTISERS The year 1922 was a red letter epoch in the history of the New Britain “Herald.” It was the year in which the greatest forward strides were made since it was founded. It is a much bigger paper on this First of January than it was twelve months ago. We think that it is also a much better paper. Success cannot be attained by an individual without assistance from his fellowmen. Neither can success be attained by a newspaper others cooperate. Our advertisers have furnished remarkable coopera- tion during the past year. They have seen the opportunity which the “Herald” has offered in our steady ncrease ‘In circulation and they have taken advantage of it to a marked degree. Consequently, we have pros- pered in proportion and to those who have helped us, we express our thanks. As the medium by which merchants can get their seiling message into the greatest number of homes, the “Her- ald” offers its facilities during the coming year. That our claim to eirculation—infiuence is not an idle boast is proven by a survey of the advertieing space used during 1022 It was much more extensive than in any other year and that it played its part in bringing more business to avertisers is attested by their sales “ records. The paper that does not have serv- fce as its beacon is in a moribund state. of the New Year the “Herald” feels in splendid red-blooded condition, ready to keep on keeping on, anxious o serve our advertisers in their de- unless sire to bring their printed messages culated to bring enmities, to arouse ' | On the evening of the first day ; | would be to look with favor upon the stand taken by men whose business has brought fame to his locality. But there is a greater matter to be considered, The report of Secretary of Labor Davis points out that great. er thing in the words above quoted. We do not want to ‘“depress our standards of living and alter our whole economic structure.” We do not want to hamper the effort to “prevent o recurrence of the employ- ment depression which threw between five and six million men into idleness.” And when we consider that unde: normal conditions “approximately ¢ million and a half workmen are de- tached from any payroll” we hesi- tote to let down the bars which would increase that million and a half in iormal times, and which, in periods of depression would make the five million unemployed perhaps ten mil- lion. Unrestricted immigration, though ‘“undesirables” were kept out of the country, would undoubtedly lepress our standards of living be- cause it would reduce the wage of the workman or throw a great numbe: out of employment except in times ol he employment o even unusual prosperity. service of the government is taking hold of a serious problem. It is serious e¢nough as it is without being made appalling by bringing into this coun- try hordes of men who, except in times of feverish production, either be unemployed or the means of taking employment away from our American workmen. would A GOOD YEAR COMING It will be a good year, according to Roger Babson, but not a ‘“hboom vear;" not a time when will rush in through all channels. It wil be a good year if we go about making it so by careful, wise management nursing along the prosperity that in sight and allowing no leaks to go forgotten. Secretary of State Hoover says Europe is in better eondition than people believe, Ambassador Harvey, while deploring the trouble “over there,” is not pessimistic about Eur- open. There is less unemployment there and production is greater—and one of the most encouraging features of the situation is that this country is recognizing the bearing Europe's wel- fare has upon us, We a wealth hi is h are getting our heads up out of time says Mr. Babson, and are about half way be- tween those depths and a real boom But we “press our luck.” Drastic competition will bring about readjustments, the profits for 1923 will come “by giving attention to details, by stopping the little leaks, by saving here and there through new la- ving inventions and, most of all, by devising new and more means of distributing goods.” Mr. Babson's predictions new year, in other words, are calcu- lated to give confidence to the of business men which have made this | community progressively-conservative smen who expect to succeed through conscen- tious work and care wise handiing of business, as opposed to those who look for righes only in periods of wild enthusiasm and specu- lation. of depression, must not and bor-ga for the sort prosperous-—the sane, and a A DESERVED COMPLIMENT Comptroller-elect & pointed former Chief of Police lings, of New Britain, as an assistant superintendent of the capitol at Hart- ford for the term of the legisiature.
