Close to the stone mooring time Harry Morton on The a wage increase, longer vacations, more holidays, improved fringe The End Of The Year Looking back over 1359, as I960 presents itself, une must admit it was an' unusually historically-significant year.

The greatest conflict in the world today is, of eourse, that between the communist ideology and the democratic. The two most powerful proponents these respective systems are the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and the United States. Therefore, when the ruler of Moscow's visits the United States and confers with the President of the United States, this is a signifeant vent, judged by any standard. If progress results this meeting, then it will have been one of flic most momentous meetings of history. 1969, too, President Eisenhower traveled extensively.

He flew to Europe on several occasions nd conferred with the leaders of allied nations. Moreover, he agreed in 1959 to go to Russia, in 1960, and this, and his meetings with Nikita Khrushchev, somewhat calmed the Berlin crisis. In the. field of international relations, then. 1959 produced some hopes-whlch are yet to be fulfilled.

Prom the domestic standpoint, it was a year of improving business and a year of moral disillusionment, it almost seemed, during 1959. that, one after another, the things we had believed in were being proven phony or faked. That ranged from television programs to outstanding personalities, to entertainment figures, and even to government officials. It was a year, too, when many Americans felt acute anxiety because of their fear that the United States was drifting further behind the Russians in the rocket and missiles field. In summary, then, it could be said that 1959 was a year which produced hopes, disillusionment, fears and misgivings.

The prayer for the new year. I960, is that the hopes for peace are justified and produce fruit. sucl progress is achieved in 1960, then along with the good business year expected, 1960 could be an even more memorable year in the eyes of the historians against which he had hidden Burrs and Allen Show, will be Davey also ran. Suddenly reversing his direction, to put eeme obstruction between himself and the dark man, he darted around a regular Jim Backus tons there was an area of sand which had obviously been disturbed and benefits in health, welfare and insurance payments. WHAT ALL THIS INDICATES IS THAT the railway brother' hoods are now in trouble, and they know it.

Employment was then smoothed over.

"Stop him!" "Bull! Put that thing away!" "You want to keep on breath-' ing?" "Yeah, sure, Bull, "Then shut up and do' what I say." "Sure okay. But what can we do? The kid'll put the finger on us for sure, and "We're going after him." "Into that stuff? It's too thick! for us." "Wait 1 minute I got an idea. Come on." The footsteps returned in the direction of the rocks, continued past and on down the embank-: ment.

Dttvey, lifting his head from: his arm, looked out between the rocks just in time to see the men cross the river bed and start up the opposite rise: His first feeling was one of hope; maybe they were going to go away after all, like the blond man said. Something, however, told him that this wasn't very likely. As the men passed out of sight, he remained perfectly still, listening intently for anything that would provide a clue to whatever new tactic was in progress.
