PAGES THE RHINELANDER DAILY MEWS tlfl City Gives Noisy Greeting to New Year it was, as had been forecast, a noisy greeting that Rhinelander residents gave the New Year as they said goodbye to 1945 and we! corned 1946. The community had its most ju bilant New Year's celebration in years as private homes, churches nnd entertainment establishments were the scenes of welcoming gath erings. "Open houses," ranging from simple neighborhood groups to elaborate functions at which a hundred or more guests participated, gained a new peak of popularity in the city. The night clubs and taverns were, for the most part, loaded to.capacity and in all of them a convivial spirit prevailed. As the clock struck the midnight hour, noisemakers and horns were brought out for a shriek- ingwelcome of 1946.

For all the conviviality, however, the holiday was unrnarred by serious accidents. A couple of dented fenders marked the only mishaps, and police that the bumps were no more than would be expected on a normal week-end. Enforcement officials made no effort to conceal their satisfaction With the manner in which the com. miinity got through the "unrestrained" New Year's celebration. Reflecting.

Upon the lifting of motor vehicle-restrictions, such as gasoline rationing, and the "spirit of release from wartime conditions, they had anticipated the New Year celebra- tiOjD with misgivings. The amount of liquor consumption was also a situation giving rise to forebodings. But they -were happily surprised by'the manner in which the community's residents "carried their liquor." Police received some calls from irate wives complaining about husbands who had looked too long into the cups of cheer, but the situations all responded to helpful mediation.
