THURSDAY, DECEMBER 30. 1948 The Chronicle Has Another Birthday Here we are again facing-a-brand New Year. What an exhilirating thought! We salute 1949—which means that THE CHRONICLE is a year older. ..hi we hope wiser. The date on next week's papei i inge fi «n V >1- ;me XLVIII to XLIX. Number L \n:ch signifies that the publication is- the eve of entering upon its 49th \ta. It has been ptibh^bed under •- present management and owner s'. ,p lor 33 years. What HN9 holds for us and for ; '0 we do n know. This much we to know—this new year gives us 365 blank pages to be filled in. What will we write on those untouched pages? What will the future tell? No one knows the answer. This new year is ne about whic.i there is much spec ulation and uncertainty Many econ-: wishes , for each o{ ornists and others are telling us we have already entered into a reces- s.on to be followed by a depression. There are certain signs that this prophecy is true. It is a year we daily newspapers, has been added for the new year without cost to our ( advertisers m preparing their adver tising lay-outs. We have a definite responsibility,; also, to our employees, the men and women who assemble and write the! news, who set the type, run the: presses and do the many other ex pensive jobs involved in the pro duction of a newspaper and com mercial printing.' Our combination newspaper-commercial printing plant j enables us to serve oik- customers! better, to give the town a better. newspaper at lower cost to advertis-l ers and subscribers. The diligence,i. loyalty and faithfulness of* these! employees with us for a long period of years is responsible in a very; large measure for what success The Chronicle has achieved. And so to all four groups—readers, advertis- 1 ers, commercial printing customers,' employees The Chronicle is indebted a New Year filled with happiness and sQc- ' cess. It is not amiss as we face the new 1 year to turn from “shop talk” and! vember in both veteran and non- j 1 veteran categories, with veterans’' ! initial claims on a statewide level in- i | Creasing from 1,995 in October to | 2,545 filed during November.
