So can anybody else—and most everybody does! But whether or not you HAVE a Happy New Year is entirely up to you Your New Year won't be happy unless thruout the year you do YOUR best for YOURSELF. And you can't do your best for yourself unless at the same time you do your best for others. “Life's a funy proposition, after all,” they used to sing in the minstrel shows But life’s a funny proposition only if we make it such Life's really a very simple and satisfactory and pleasant proposition if you go at it in the proper manner The proper manner, as we see it, is to lose your self-centered outlook, to realize you are a common unit in a common mass, and to go thru the year, and all the coming years, with a realization that your own happiness depends on how much you are doing to add happiness to others Don't hate anybody. But also see to it that you're doing anybody's acting in such a manner that others may hate him. The kindest thing you can do to a bully is to end his bullying sion from our topic— LOVE YOUR FELLOW MAN; ments for the common good; fight shoulder-to- common welfare Try to secure healthful conditions for yourself and family—but also seek to abol ish unhealthful conditions for all others Demand justice for yourself—but oppose the denial of justice to others. Live well, eat proper foods—but don't be satisfied with earth's conditions while other folk are eating less than proper foods Seek beauty in your daily life—but don’t let others be crushed into squalor Your resolutions, after all, are small matters. We suppose you make New Year resolutions, just as the rest of us do; and we hope you live up to them, as most of the rest of us don’t. But the one resolution that should not be broken is this: “In this new year I will do the best I can for myself by doing the best I can for everybody!” Isn't it so?
