WNU Features, “Time has come to forget petty ambitions; to use what we have in house' ware and clothing; to improve what we have rather than cast it out for something else.” By KATHLEEN NORRIS IVE heroically in 1948. Let . this year be the year that makes up, in your home and in your character, for the mistakes of other years. Wake up. Realize that we have reached a crisis in human affairs before which all other human crises and dangers are as nothing. We have so perfected various scientific discoveries as to make everything that happens to us universal. We are one great people in the world, and it is for us to live heroically. Dismiss your personal] frets and troubles. Rise above them. Help to build that new America that is going to build the new world. That all the world is turning to us, we know. Some nations ask for help in staggering to their feet after almost complete demolition, some ask for money, some for food and clothing, some for military protection. You belong to the nation that does not take from other nations, that does not even hold her riches for herself, but must give them away like transfusions of life blood to half the nations of the world. Be worthy of this great destiny of ours. If we are to support so many millions of the less fortunate, we must be strong. Clear out of your life everything that binds your hands and feet from _ usefulness. Every family, every household, that is. not. giving to the great world demand now is taking from the general supply. i So first get ‘your own ‘house “in order. That is, make it a home. If you are contemplating divorce, especially if there are children, think it over. See if you can’t shake up the same ingredients, and make a success of it. Broken homes cost the commonwealth dearly in broken characters. Grow Spiritually in ’48. Get out of debt. It can be done. Catch up with the bills, no matter what humiliating changes it makes in your way of life. You'll never be free until you’re free of debt. Debts undermine marriage. Many a nervous, dyspeptic, overworked man could find himself miraculously free of ailments and feel 10 years younger, if wife and children conspired.to stay within the family income. If you’re very young, make 1948 the year you grow spiritually and mentally. Give up demanding luxuries, wasting time, running with the wrong companions. America may need you desperately in a few years, to take your place in your town or city government, or in Washington. Gét ready to serve. This new year is not like any other we ever have had. The slow, fruitfess months since the wars ended in 1945 have brought us no nearer a lasting peace. The world still rumbles with wars; new wars threaten us, old wars are not ended. Our enemies of yesterday are asking help as friends today; our friends of a few years ago are showing themselves ready for hostilities. It must be a dull woman indeed who does not realize that strange times are ahead of us; who does not realize that the time has come to forget petty ambitions, unavoidable discomforts and annoyances?

The young should lie wisely and actively. We must all work and save, study and pray, Miss Norris tells us. This is no time for pious platitudes, she warns.

This is the time to use what we have in houseware and clothing; to improve what we have rather than cast it out for something else; to work on the marriage problem as if it were any other delicate and dangerous business that must be brought to success. It is time to study, however casually and bewilderedly, the problems of national and international affairs. It is time to study, above all, our own history, and teach its tremendous lessons to our children. If we are to hold on to democracy and all it means to us, these next few years are the time to get to work. If we are to hold on to our faith in the God who has guided our extraordinary destiny this far, then these are the years in which to put that faith to the test: No New Year's resolution could be more important than that. Afy national policy that -tells us that religion is merely ‘‘the opiate of the people’’ is not the policy upon: which America’s great destiny was based. ° ; No, much as we fail in our ideals, still we cling to ‘them. We still determine, over and over again, that want andsuffering, slums and crowding, ignorance and penury and vice shall be lessened, shall be done away with, because we believe in° God’s law. These are the things that we have to prove to the world, in the crisis ahead. These are the great ends that ought to eclipse and blot out small and selfish personal aims. Wendell Willkie said, . “To raise the standard of living of any man anywhere in the world is to raise the standard of living by some slight degree of every man, everywhere in the world."’ If we are to go on, as America, then there are some serious resolutions for you and me to make this New Year’s Day. “Like Dark Ages,’ Says Bishop Cardinal Griffin, Archbishop of Westminster in London, likened conditions in eastern Europe under “atheistic communism’’:to those existing in the ‘‘Dark Ages.” ‘Are there not slaves in the factories and working camps in é¢astern Europe much as in the Dark. Ages? Neither powerful slogans nor higher ‘wages are sufficient incentive to: make men work harder in Britain,” the cardinal declared. The only way is to treat him as man, “to address ‘him as a soul created by God.” .
