As we come to the end of the year
and look back we can recall new
friends made and old friendships
strengthened by our pleasant asso-
ciation during 1939. Then we look
forward to a New Year with our
old friends and to meeting new
ones and the opportunity we have
. of serving all, and we feel that life
is really worthwhile.
