Editor's Column
Another year, another decade el
yean have been rounded oat with the
passing of the year 1929. Wednesday,
two days ago, the people of the sa-
tire civilised world launehed oat la-
to a brand new year, a brand new
' decade of years.

Stock has been taken. Inventories
ore being tabulated and totaled to
•■certain profits and losses, progrese
or tstrogrs—ton. New resolutions
have bssn made. New policies are
•Mm decided upon. We are off en
• new year—we are off on r
datede of years.
•' ' • • t *
Have we made good as businSss
wan, as farmers, as enterprising cW>
seas of the eity and county? Have
rone forward or backward? In
other words, have we made good?
These are questions that we should
concern and satisfy ourselves about
¡now, before we launch too far into
to new year.
•. • • •
We need to reflect, look back over
m past, appraise conditions, accom-
plishments, ese where we have bene
^ fitted or where we have fallen short
Wore making new resolutions, Be-
fore forming new policies, before
planning for the future. A haphaaard
venture into the future by and in-
dividual, any corporation, any ehde
or commercial group is dnagaretfs,
It is too risky.

The moment calls for matura tbink-
• tag. It calls for accurate appraisment
of true conditions. It calls for broad-
tridedness, farsightedness. It calls
for ctma* smeyetitlon frrtwthg «he en-
tire citizenship.

We csn make the year 1930 a
> pleasant, enjoyable and fairly pros-
perous year in spite of reverses,
we will all strive to, will it and by our
I,Actions, policies and general disposi-
tion, work to that end.

Passes Away
The body of Miss Ellen Dotson,
aged 15, who died at a Cameron
hospital, was burie«i in the Chriesman
Chapel cemetery near her Deanville
home. She is survived by her parents,
^our sisters, Mrs. Flora Moore, Ruby,
Hazel and Lois Marie, nn<l three
^brothers, Hubert, Fritz and Louis.
Miss Dotson was one of Dcanville's
.most popular young ladies, admired
tml loved by her school mates,
•aehers and acquaintances. Those
'who knew her spoke in the highest
!t.erms of her. She was said to be a
friend and more. She was regarded
by all who knew her of being an
ideal girl, full of life, ambitious,
courageous, and full of determination
'bat would have made her some day
► an admirable woman. She won and
>held the affections of all who knew
her. She will be greatly missed.
One of her close friends writing the
crount of her death, quoted the fol-
lowing verses from Tennyson:
Sunset and evening Star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning at
the bar,
When I put out to sea.
>"tit ftuch a tide as moving seems
asleep.
Yoo full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out
the boundles t deep
Turns again home.
Twlight and evening bell.
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of
farewell,
When I embark.
For tho' from out our bourne of
Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have'crost the bar.

THE /PI KIT
ADVENTURE
ZThE airplane exemplifies as
nothing esle can, the spirit of adven-
ture, the will to forge onward into
the unknown that has ever marked
the successful pioneering of the
American community.
This month, in their message to the
imunity, the business men have
cén their central theme, the air-
headed toward the dawn, over
unknown seas, on a voyage whose one
aim is the betterment of mankind in
general.
The success of the trip depends in
a large measure upon the united
functioning of every member of the
organization sponsoring the flight,
even dawn to the least important
workman about the airdrome. So it
isjvith k community. Each member
must do his share toward making the
community a successful community.
