Last week I spoke here about
Christmas.
Now it is New Year’s Day!
The calm reflection, getnle de
meanor, and air of reverence that
marks Christmas is largely gone. I
have torn the last page off of that
old calendar and htrown the whole
thing in the trash can. And I’ve hung
a new one up that still has the curl

Yes, a whole new year is bundled
up. in that calendar. And I am just
now starting into its first day. Its
pages lire all clean and utilised, ex
cept for some engagements I’ve
marked , on ’em.
Opportunity hangs there in that
calendar, and the joys and sorrows
that the year will bring.
Yes, the magic of Christmas is
lately - gone.
dynamic feeling in the air. A feeling
of plans being made and of vigor
for their execution. From the easy
days and ideals of Christmas we
have now passed to the rugged real
ity of a new year. There it lies out
there, cold and still in the death of
winter. The earth is at rest now. But
soon it will start awakening, and we
must be ready.
For spring will start about the
time we are finishing the third page
on that calendar up there. And, as
time flies, that won’t be long at all.
Then we will be again planting our
hopes in the soil, as men have done
before. And folks will work, and
toil, and pray to the Lord of the
harvest that He smile upon the
land that plenty might again bless
the earth.
Summer will come with sunshine

So, around and ’round the seasons
go, using up our calendar*. Each
time we have just one less to go.
And they don’t seem to last as long
as they used to.
Turkoy*
Turkeys are fast growing into a
major crop in many counties here.
Modern streamlined methods are
turning them out in mass produc
tion. It hasn’t been long ago that
the average flock of turkeys raised
on a farm was something like 12
to 15. That was back in the old
grasshopper turkey days. They
roamed the range and picked up
most of what they got.
But now the average farm
growing turkeys usually makes it
a specialty and grows ’em by the
hundreds and perhaps more often
by the thousands.
A good many of our folkshave
made money on turkeys. But some
have lost. There are some require
ments as to housing, feeding, sani
tation, etc., that must be met, or
some secret about how much pow

that used shells. They loaded tKeir
own shells, and used them over
and over.
The chances for a shot for a tur
key cost 10 cents each. It took

written on his tarket, a piece of
white paper about 6 inches square
with a cross mark clear across it!
The fellow who put a shot nearest
where the those two lines crossed
got the turkey. And the fellow
who won a turkey or two was a
hero for a time in those parts.
One of our gang, who was quite
a hunter, once mustered up a dime
from somewhere and took a shot.
To the delight of the rest of us
kids, he won the choicest bird of
the day! As he walked away with
a turkey so big he could hardly
carry it, an envious man he had
beaten was heard to mutter, “Kids
haven’t got any business down
here, and specially with that little
old choked gun.”

HST Statement
Was Inaccurate
New York, Dec. 28.—Gen. Doug
las MacArthur today described as
“inaccurate and misleading,” a re
ported statement by President Tru
man yesterday that he had reliev
ed MacArthur as ar East command
er because the general “wanted to
involve us in an all-out war in the
Far East.” *
The United Press quoted the j
President as making the statement
in an interview the Presidnt gave
to its White House correspondents.
It was one of a series of year-end
interviews with White House cor
respondents.
MacArthur’s comment, issued by
his aide, Major Gen. Courtney
Whitney, follows:
“President Truman’s statement
yesterday, as reported in the pess,
that I ‘wanted to involve us in an
all-out war in the Far Blast’ is in
accurate and misleading.
“My purpose and desire was not
to extend the war but only to end
it. At thah time, this could have
been accomplished with only, a
fraction of the approximately 70,-
000 American battle casualties
which have since resulted. Actual
ly, the longer it lasts the greater
the chance of its spreading. How
anyone could use such a bloody
draona as a means of self-glorifica
tion is quite beyond my compre
hension.”
