THE NEWS withca for it* reader* a very
bright 1946. And we with for Albany and
Shackelford county, in particular, progreu in
•eery phase of industry and business.
The past year was a good one ... a year of
victory over our enemies. We can look for-
ward to a yoar of peace and prosperity . . . and
if the strikers get back on the job ... to a year
•f new automobiles, new refrigerators, wash-
iag machines, and whatnot.
Aad one of the finest things would be the
hailding of some residences in Albany for the
large number of people who need houses.
Albany looks forwards to a hospital, to more
ceasent sidewalks and an extension to the sewer
ejrateia.
Assured improvements for 1946 include our
Farm to Market roads and the completion of
the Baird road.
It looks like a great year ahead ... if indus-
try and labor will get together and get going.
A NUMBER OF PEOPLE started the New year
off right by subscribing to the old home town paper.
Those renewing or subscribing this week were:
Mrs. Oliver Stimatze, Canon, Colo.
Carl A. Shaffer, Crane (sent by Mrs. W. B. Mat-
thews ).
Bill Cox, Abilene.
Mrs. Frances Cook, Fort Worth (sent by C. A.
Wilson).
H. D. Dennis, who recently moved to Albany.
H. V. Adamsen, Albany.
E. G. Low, former Marine warrant officer who
with Mrs. Low has returned to old Albany to live.
H. J. Locke, Moran.
Mrs. Tom Lasater, Falfurrias (sent by Mrs. E.
M. Casey).
Mrs. Fred Jordan, Sweetwater.
W. H. Cauble, Snyder (sent by Mrs. Cauble for
his birthday, which was on Christmas day).
THE NEW YEAR came in quietly in Albany.
Fact of the matter, most of our citizens slept
right through the advent of 1946. What's hap-
pened to all the noise that used to take place
as the New Year came in?
New Year marked the end to the CSri.tma.
holidays. Wednesday, January 2, school start-
ed up, and the Christmas lights, up for the
first time since 1941, came down.
Merchants have completed their inventories,
and most everybody it getting busy on hit in-
come records to be ready for the income tax
report.
INFLUENZA has been working on Albany people
the past three weeks, and this week invaded the
Albany News. Miss Fronie has been ill all week,
thus making the editor a rather busy man, what with
the reporting to do in addition to his other duties.
We somehow didn't realize how much work Miss
Fronie did until we had to do it a week. She was
up today and back on the job.
JACK EDWARDS it about as happy at
can be thit week with hit new electric automo-
bile. Everyone in town hat been wanting to go
riding with him. He can go anywhere he wantt
in thit excellent machine.
THE NEW YEAH brought out the candidates,
and our readers will note a number of announce-
ments in this week's News.
This should be a nood election year, with quite a
crop of candidates. All anticipating jetting jn t_)le
various races this year have until June to make their
annou ncement.

AID TO VICTIMS OF WAR
ESSENTIAL TO WIN PEACE
By Paul V. MoN'utt
America and Americans have
given unstintedly of their nation-
al .substance to defeat enemies who
threatened to impose their rule and
their evil will upon all other peo-
ples of the earth. We have given
generously of our national treas-
ure, and to the extent needed, of
the lives of our sons and daugh-
ters.
The contribution we made to
victory in terms of money cannot
be easily measured against the un-
utterable human suffering which
the enemy brought to vast sections
of mankind in Kurope and Asia.
The great natural bulwarks of our
protecting oceans, plus the great
sacrifices made by our Allies, help-
oil to keep from our shores the ac-
tual devastation of war.
Starvation and disease stalk
much of the civilized world beyond
our -bores. The America which
contributed to unselfishly in the
dink hours of wur cannot now re-
fuse to help neighbors in their
present physical distress. Kvery
American will want to give to the
full extent of hi- ability to allevi-
ate the dreadful suffering which
other peoples are undergoing.
The Victory Clothing Collection
is a noble undertaking in this di-
rection. Articles of clothing which
we can -pure will help to save lives
and to make friends. Vast popu-
lation- face the dread of the ter-
rible Asiatic and European winter
without shoes, without warm cloth-
ing of any kind. North China was
left by the Japanese as by a -warm
of hungry locust.-. Nothing which
could be stolen was left untouch-
ed. The same is true of other ot
cupied area- Our Allies, who
were locked in a death grapple
with the common enemy at close
hand Allies w ho gave us the prec-
ious time we needed to prepare
were unable during the war to
,-upply their civilian populations
with new clothing. They are in
almost as dire need a.- the former-
ly occupied and enslaved land- of
of Kurope and A.-ia.
To win the peace as we won the
war, we must all give anil give
generously. Clothing now i.- as im-
portant a- bullet were a few
months ago to ive 1 iv«* -. to tave
oil untold mi i• ry, and to undo the
|.\ il work of thi' barbarian a::
