Well, here we are at the end of the
year I
Did you make new friends, dispel bitter
tear,
Help someone along, and exude good
cheer?
If you did, - you made a profit, that's
clear.

ANOTHER MILESTONE PASSED
The old year is almost gone and
soon 1946 will belong to the past. At
the end of each year of life it is a good
time to audit the books of our lives to
see whether we are a success or a fail-
lire as a human being. Financial suc-
cess and achievements in the various
Arts are commendable, but not the
true measure of the success or failure
of a human life. Good deeds, friends
and character are the. true criterions
That spell success or failure in living.
If we have made new friends and
retained all our friendships, helped
those less fortunate than ourselves,
been a good example to those with
whom we have come in contact, and
spread good cheer as we journeyed
Through life, then we have been a suc-
cess.
If we have • failed to make new
friends and lost old ones by sharp

harder to do than to change from army
life and military training to civilian
life, and pleaded with the pepole for a
better understanding and patience with
the boys in this time of re-establish-

WEEKLY THOUGHT
When wounded or irked by some
real or fancied grievance or ill-treat-
ment, just sit down and write a real
long letter airing all your feelings.
Don't spare the feelings of the person
to whom you are writing. Put down
your thoughts in plain, unvarnished
English and really "Bawl-Out" -`the
person who has offended you — -and
then destroy the letter and keep your
friend.
