Charles Lamb put it very
mncisely when he said that
No one ever regarded the
First of January with indlffer-
,nce."
• Curiosity, hope and super-
titlon have marked man's ob-
servance of the New Year for
:enturies.
Among superstitious beliefs
#as .that "dipping" provided
n Insight Into the future. Dip-
alng involved tbe opening of
ihe family Bible while the head
>f the house, with eyes closed,
ndlcated a passage wlth his
Inger; the text, supposedly
properly.interpreted, was sup-
posed to fortell the good or
aad luck in store in the months
ahead.
Man has always
mrlous about what
Indiiferent
holds as he has been eager to
learn about all things un-
known. Have you ever noticed
how many "forecasters" are
present at New Year parties
and gatherings? Almost every-
one can tell you what is going
to happen in" the world of busi-
ness and finance, in politics, in
affairs of state, in our relations
with other countries around the
world.
Be indifferent about the New
Year? It's hardly possible. Try
as you may, you cannot help
but dwell for a moment upon
the personal events and hap-
penlngs of 1967. And, you can-
not deny that you have some
hopes and plans for 1968.
We hope that is is a very
pod year for you,
