Here’s a young lady who can see nothing but good things
ahead for 1952. Nine months old when the picture was made,
she is Barbara Jean Ashbrook, 16-month-old daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Aaron Ashbrook. She was chosen to say ‘ Happy New
Year” to you for us because of her enthusiasm and her appar-
ent confidence that 1952 will be a year of peace and happiness.
