W frat’s dttriittgs 1932 has been'a year of struggle for men and nations. Poison gas and cannon and bayonet have taken their full toll. Storm and tempest have been abroad. Every week has added to the alarm­ ing list of those who have perished by accident on the public high­ way, Airplane crashes have claimed theii* victims by the score. Agriculture, even in Ontario, has been hard hit in the matter of sales. Prices for farm products has fall to unprecedented­ ly low levels. Farmers carrying heavy indebtedness have been forced towards the wall. Few agriculturists have been able to withstand the shocks of unexpectedly hig& expenses. Nor are matters financially any better in the business life of vilage, town or city,. Business men who have carried on on borrow­ ed capital have found the .going heavy and discouraging. They hesi­ tate to say what may take place should 1933 prove as stressful a business year as they have found 1932. Governments, too, have found the dying year, a year of serious difficulty. Economise as they may, the passing year has proven one of inevitable financial deficits. And yet the morale of the races has been superb. The unem­ ployed have shown a self- control beyond all' praise. The business world has displayed a steadiness and a hopefulness and a consider­ ation worthy of its best traditions. Self-control has characterized political and social life, while enterprise and reverence and a spirit of free inquiry.-have featured the church. And what is required for 1933. First, an unfaltering faith that Divine Providence who makes all things work for the welfare of those who seed to do His will Second, there is required a whole hearted resolve to toil ter­ ribly at .one’s job. 1933 will show no mercy to the slacker. Such a one will be eaten by the wolves of circumstance. Work and pro­ duct not marked by high excellence will find no market. High quality alone will take the palm. The budget must be balanced. Yes, and the strong will be called upon to bear the burdens of the weak. The man who has a job will be called upon to share with the man who simpjy can't get work. No one whp has money at his disposal can afford to pass by any self-r.especing man or his * family who is in need. . . * ’ Yes, and a certain charitable, open-eyed gfimness needs to put iron into our veins as we highly resolved that 1933 shall find us, laboring, waiting, enduring, conquering.' Every aspect of life in 1933 calls for hardihood, for a setting of the jaw and a rolling up of the sleeve and but one thought—that a financial stringency and the mewings of the faint hearted shall not rob us of the success and self-respect that are the birthright of every child of Adam. There’s a way through for the strong-hearted. “Sudden the worst turns the best to the brave.” 4. EIzECTON TOR REEVE 'fit Start the New Year Right! BE SURE TO FEED ROYAL PURPLE 40 PER CENT.
