Our Country 7 Right or Wrong NEW YEAR'S DAY Men have never known toward what the world was moving, despite their statements that it was going in this or that or the other direction. No one can foresee what will oc- cur in the future. The past stands in the path of the present, holding us back in our eager desire to reach ahead into new experiences and new developments. Civilization has not changed so greatly as we may imagine. The refinements of luxury do not belong alone to our modern times. There is hardly any stage in world history when the same state of things was not flourishing in the same de- gree, and even in approximately the same forms. Human nature does not change, and in the same degree the manifestations of the human mind follow primarily the same chan- nels, though their outward habiliments ap- pear to be new. The past, present and future are irrevoc- ably linked together, and this fact is never ;iore emphasized than on New Year's Day, as one calendar year becomes history and a new span of twelhe months' spreads vistas of expectation ahead. We speak of growth, of changes for the better-yet with the same breath we deplore the deterioration which 'we profess to see around us. We contradict ourselves in the ut- most absurdity and then blandlYy refuse to recognize that we have been slightly ridicu- lous. We point to the past as representative of what was finest in intellectual and artistic endeavor-and then swell with pride because of the "long way we have come" since one specific date or another. We talk about the "great new industrial age when machines will do all the work" and simultaneously com- plain of the tragedies and dangers of unem- ployment and a pattern society. We do all these thiings-and yet, perhaps we are not so foolish as we may seem. The world goes its way in spite of us. Year in and year out the earth turns in the heavens and the sun's rays shine down to give us light and warmth. Nature pays no heed to our fu- tile protestations at the injustices of human- ity. The grass continues to grow, the seasons follow one upon the other and animal and man reproduce their kind to take the places of those who have completed their part in the great cycle of life and death. If we did not protest a little because things are not just as we want them, we would not be' hu- man. Only when we cease the rebellion that leads to new knowledge and new understand- ing will civilization die. We make resolutions on New Year's Day, most of which we fail to keep. But it is not that we fail to keep them that is important, so much as that we felt the urge to make them. In those resolutions, from the most trivial to, the 'deeply serious, is exemplified the spiritual craving inherent in man which eternally reaches out toward an ideal, nebu- lous it is true, but none the less powerful. New Year's Day is not necessarily a time for merely "washing the slate clean and start- ing anew. It is a time for, making adjustments to life as it exists and must be lived. Rather than the dismissing of the past, it calls for an intelligent review of events and thoughts, with a sane and clear-eyed summing up oi those past influences, their relationship to the present and a hypothetical promulgation for the future. Whether anything works out as expected or not is of lesser import. In determining the possibilities, in allocating things in their proper positions a calmer, more intelligent, more honest and more sincere attitude can- not fail to appear. Consciously or uncon- sciously we will be starting the new year right. The Tallahassee Democrat, in a front page story on food a'fioning,' refers to the food administrator as "Fool Administrator Claude R. Wickard." Only time will tell whether he is a fool or a genius. A lot of news behind the news these days seldom gets into print. Won't be long until we'll all be counting our "points" instead of our money.

Yet at home, .too many of us are presenting the enemy with information of the same military value., This, is the information which you are asked not to make avail- able to the enemy: Do not tell the names of ships upon which sailors serve. Do not tell the troop units in which soldiers serve overseas. There is no objection to re- vealing that Pvt. John Doe is in Australia or that Seaman Ricln- ard Roe saw action. in the At- lantic, but there is military In- formation which endangers the lives of American fighting men in stating that Pvt. John Doe, Company C, 600th Infantry, is in Australia. or that Seaman Richard Roe, aboard the U.S.S. Wisconsin. is in the Atlantic. The office of censorship says: "We ask editors not to publish these troop identifications, and we ask parents and relatives not to reveal them. Don't give the enemy anything that may length- en the war!" iSo keep your lip well buttoned when you're talking of men In the service from Gulf county. Miss Frances Palmer, teacher in the C'hattahoochee schools, is spending the Christmas vacation period here with her parents, Mr. andi Mrs. C. M. Palmer. L What's In a Name? Not Much In Army Names May Be Alright, But Serial Numbers Are of Much Greater Import You're in the army now, Mr. Jones. But . which Mr. Jones? For there were only 28,- 050 Mr. Jones' in World War 1, so, who knows how many in this one? John Jones doesn't help too much, for there were thou- sands of Johns, and hundreds of those Johns had wives named Mary-which wasn't much of a help when the war department tried tracing down a Jones. If you think there were a lot of Jones', consider then the Johnstons, 53.200 strong, 2000 or whom were named William. And the Smiths with 51,900, ranking in second -place, among whom were 3,412 Williams (including the ed- itor of The Star); the Browns with 48,000; the Williams', 47,000; the Andersons, 22,000 the Walkers, 18,500, and the Millers, 2500. What's in a name? Not much in the army, records, if it isn't accompanied by a serial number. And, the war department continues to stress the, importance of remembering those serial num- bers. When you think of that man in thei service, thing of his serial number, too, for without it he might not get his mail, and you might not get your allotment. There are many cases of mix- ups in allotment and relief checks due to improper statements, of names, serial numbers, rank and addresses, and much time would be saved individuals and the gov- ernment-if more care were taken in these matters.
