LOOKS TO 1959 READY FOR ANY FORM OF PROGRESS Editor's note: The Country Philosopher on his Johnson grass farm on Wallace Creek has found out a new year has arrived. Obviously somebody Rave him a calendar. Dear editar; A lot of people, especially those who worry about the hydrogen bomb, were afraid 1959 wasn't going to get nere, but if you will look outside you'll notice it's here, and I have an idea New Years will keep on coming, there 5s not a thing man can do to stop it. And as usual, most people are making resolutions and mapping plans for the next twelve months, except me. I don't intend to change inurh.

It's not that I couldn't, I just don't want to. J. A. 2 Year Guaranteed Batteries, $10.95. Sadler Autc Supply.

According to an article I read last night, Washington officials, in looking over the prospects for the new year, have taken a confident attitude and have announced the Federal government "will come close an possible to balancing the budget." Now that's the kind of planning admire, and don't mind saying 1 will get up on the Washington level in regard to my own financial affairs in 1959. I too will come a.q close as possible to balancing my budget, and in propor- ion to size, I'll bet I don't miss much further than Washington. At any rate, I'd like to say I lave enjoyed writing for renders )f The Sun Saba News during 958, and am looking forward to getting their minds off of serious hingH again in 1.95'J.

It beats working. I don't know any more about vhat the future holds than any- else, but I'm banking on human nature's standing up against iriything that turns up. Human nature- ha.s stood up unchanged against the airplane, the radio, television, automobiles, central H'nting, air conditioning, public ind pivnte d''bt, time payments, progressive education, cake mixes, he hydrogen bomb, and I K-lieve it can do the same against guided missiles, space travel, foreign cars, inflation, Russians, and rain or drouth. Human nature has a habit- of swallowing up nil progress and coming out about the same. I don't see any reason why it should change much in 1959.

Personally, I'm looking forward to the next twelve months. I can take anything science has to offer, without being swept off my feet. It's hard to sweep a man off his feet when he's sitting down nnyway. Yours faithfully, j. A.
