Show jl. Brighter Prospects Ahead. . . With the fading of 1931, which at times blackened the thoughts of thousands throughout the nation through the long-continued long-continued depression and creating only thoughts of pessimism, there is a joyous thought in the( fact that a new year will soon dawn. What are the prospects for a better condition during the New Year? No one knows. But there is hope for a decided decid-ed change n conditions. It may come from acts of the national congress, and it may not. But one thing is certain the citizens of the United States can better conditions by assuming more optimistic attitude. Keep a stiff upper lip and face conditions in a more cheerful way. Pessimism never did carry one over the brink of hard times. It does not only effect the one that continually shows it, but it's like the measles it spreads and the deeper it sinks into every individual that easily falls for the "dreary" thoughts, the worse the country becomes. Nestling in, the Gunnison Valley are some of the nation's best mianhood and womanhood. No one has ever starved and none have suffered to the extreme. Health, kindness and good-fellowship, even though crops might have been a slight failure, are) predominating factors, and you'll go a long way before you find a better class of citizens. Courageous in battling bat-tling the depressed conditions and suffering, perhaps, less than many of our neighbors throughout the western section, Gunnison Valley citizens are not "giving up." On the other hand, they are ever ready to march ahead in the hopes that tjhe next year and future years will bring forth better conditions, condi-tions, and the hope is that 1932 will, be among the years that will drop the seeds of prosperity and happiness. Drouth and pestilence, maybe, did seriously effect the good! farmers and stockmen of the valley. But 1931 is slowly passing and the dawn of the morrow marking the birth of tihe New Year, 1932 gives every promise of better conditions. condi-tions. We have been blessed with an abundance of snow and rainfall, real essentials for the assurance of crops, and why shouldn't these gifts of nature change the pessimist to the way -of thinking optimistic? The old adage, "When the whole blamed world Jias gone to pot and business on the bum, a two-cent grin and a lifted chin, helps some my boy, helps some," if interpreted righdy and followed, will go a long way in bringing the low-spirited to a cheerful way of looking ahead. Let us all be hopeful; let us all face conditions manfully and the "worm will turn." The Gunnison Valley News wishes for the best for everyone, and in doing so we extend the greetings for a Better and More Prosperous, Happy and Joyful Joy-ful New Year. ' |
