We will toss that phrase around during these days, but do we know what really makes a year happy. Here is the record of a cele bration of new year that goes to the heart of the matter of lasting happiness. The bells were ringing in the new year and a new cent ury. A soldier in Cuba was sit ting down to^vrite a letter to his wife. It was the first one he had been able to write after a very serious illness. His name was Walter Reed. He had volunteered, with four other men, to risk his life by submitting to be exposed to yel low fever in order to test wheth er or not the disease was carried by mosquitoes. [«««««: The other men were Jesse Lazear, Dr. James Carrol, Private Kissinger, and John J. Moran. The experiment proved success ful; the carrier of yellow fever was discovered; and Walter Reed was saved. When he wrote his wife that New Year’s eve, he said: “The prayer which has been mine for twenty years, that I might be permitted in some way to al leviate human suffering, has been granted”. M. L. Branchaud, manager of Underwood Corporation, Grand Rapids, said: “Years ago I used to work for Henry Ford in a branch sales and service department. One day Mr. Ford came into the store and said that the sign in the win dow should be changed from ‘Sales & Service’ to Service & Sales’. He said: ‘lf you give good service you don’t have to worry about sales’. Yet as Cy Fox, president of Feis and Co., tells us it seems that we are giving too many testimon ial dinners these days to people who have simply done a job they were paid to do. Anyone who works for pay, and that includes presidents of corporations as well as janitors, is paid to do a good job, not a bad one. If he does what he is paid to do, then why give him a medal? Don’t do it on the basis that he may have done something beyond the call of duty. It’s a man’s duty, when he takes money, to do a job to the PRESCRIPTION JERVICE ] KNIGHT-VICKERS DRUG STORE Ernest Knight, Carey Jones and Luke Stewart, Pharmacists Phone 2254 Jesup, Ga. new </eaV4A *) 71 ** I to* ZS^J^ / « O\oV VA’ J V' ■/ a Or/ 0 i xV iw Vol / ^°\\ 3 0 / 0 8 / o/ O/ I 6^—r-A \ V OO /©/© 0 K ।^\ \ / I \ 1 Jr JMmb 1 i I ^*S R x \ i Jr J ■ G. / 1 3 L-z— * g R Lastingers Garage t Hoboken, Georgia Religiously Speaking By Rev. Howard D. Blalock, Pastor Emmanuel Baptist Church, Blackshear limit of his ability. And by the word “limit” I mean the extreme limit. Did you notice the story in “Grit” of the serviceman who is paying our government back the money it paid him for service during the war? He has been successful in business and very able to do it. He said he counted it an honor and an opportunity for service, and that the doing of it was reward enough for him. Contrast that attitude with the attitude you hear saying “the government owes me a living”. There is the story of the King | who placed a large stone in the [ road and hid nearby to see what I would happen. Some travelers made their way around the ob stacle, complaining as they did. By and by came a peasant carry ing his load of vegatables. These he set down. Then he proceeded to push the stone into the ditch. Now he noticed a purse, where the stone had been. This was fill ed with gold coins, and there was a note from the King commend ing the man for his unselfish service. Service. This is what makes any year a happy one. It is the way the Master went. “Who fpr the joy that was set before him, endured the cross, despising the shame”. Happy New Year! 5 Injnred in Pierce Wreck Five persons were carried to the Pierce County Hospital Wed nesday night, Dec. 21, as the re sult of a two-car traffic accident just outside Patterson.
