Happy'New Year.
Before another issue of The People-
Sentinel comes from the ipress, eld
Father Time will have marked the
passing of the old yeai* and the birth
of the new, and once more it is both
our pleasure and privilege to wish
our ftiends “A Happy New Year."
The year just drawing to a close
will go down in history as one of the
most epochal since the foupding of
the American Republic. Our people
have been through strenuous times,
but we confidently believe that better
days aie ahead under the splendid
leadership of President Roosevelt.
On every hand there is evidence <jf a
more optimistic spirit and a finer
courage to face the future, sure in the
knowledge that the great masses have
in the White House a champion with
a kindly heart,‘a brain to plan and a
will to dare and do.
Gradually the dark clouds of de
pression are lifting and thb shining
shafts of the sunlight of Hope arc
breaking through to brighten the
dawn of a new day. The mists of
discouragement and despair^ are Be
ing dissipated with a glimpse here
and there of the blue sky of content
ment and the mountain peak of econo
mic peace and stability.
We have traveled far along the
road from the slough of despond dur
ing the "past few short months, and
while we are not yet entirely “out of
the woads,” we believe that the goal
will be reached ultimately and that
many Happy New Years are in store
for our people.

A
r T , HlS graph shows what happened
* when the cotton grower cooper
ated with-the Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration to reduce the
cotton acreage 10^1933. Had it not
been for the plow-up campaign and
the fine spirit of cooperation exhib
ited .by southern growers, disaster
would have befallen the Cotton Belt
in the fail of 1933. The above grapli
tells this better than words. A poten
tial yield of seventeen and one-lialf
million bales was reduced to thir-_
teen and one-tenth million bales by
the action of the Agricultural Afl-
justment ^Administration, and,' as n
result, the income that the x -
CO* ill.
grower received from his lint
was nearly doubled. Realizing fhcow'
fans, cotton growers are expressing
a desire to cooperate In future ad
justment programs.
Tbe Magi
The Magi m'eana literally "wlM
men," t»r magi dabs or soothsayers—a
priestly order of ancient Media and
Persia. The three Magi of the East
who brought gifts to the manger of
Christ were, traditionally, Melcholr,
Caspar and Balthazar, three kings of
the East The first offered gold, tne
emblem of royalty; the second, frank
incense. In tokeiK of divinity.'and the
third, myrrh, in prophetic allusion to
the persecutlorjjK which awaited the
Child. Melcholr'is said to mean “king
of light”; Gaspaf. or Caspar, “the
white one,” and Balthazar, “the lord
of treasures.” Medieval legend calls
them the Three Kings of Cologne, and
the cathedral there claims their rel
ics. They are commemorated on Janu
ary 2, 3 and 4. and JJgrticularfy at the
Feast of the Epiphany.
