But with the passage of the old yoar we are left >onu- pleasant memories. Not all was gloom in 1929. In fact there was inure brightness than fog. The memory of sterling friendships, the thoughtful deeds inspired by affection, the picture of welcoming faces, the feeling of warm hand pressure remain with us. Surely service to one’s fellow man is the mo.st inspiring and satisfy ing occupations. The Union-Recorder wishes to take this occasion to pledge anew to you, to your family, to your neighbors, your friends, your whole community, its determination to give in the future, as in the past, a little more than a dollar’s worth of service for every dollar received and to throw into the balance our ingenuity, our best thought, our highest energy. If in the past year we have succeeded in pleasing you, it was the fulfillment of our highest ambition. If wc have in any way been remiss we shall strive in the coming year to remedy our fault. And in the meantime, win.er or summer, sunshine or clouds, The Union-Reccrder puts its heart into this wish to you.
