l 5 i P1fi1fzcipczl's Message .,. t if Today We are all living under high pressure. How many lives have been shortened or made miserable by the haunt- ing fear of things which never happen or probably existed only in the imagination. We must learn to accept reverses with success. We all make mistakes. When you make one - admit it and don,t try to shift the blame. Iust determine not to repeat the error. Safeguard your health. Clinics, providing for physical check-ups are available to all at nominal cost. Avail yourselves of such periodically. A healthy person is generally a happy person and should be glad to aid the less fortunate. A Remember happiness and a serene perspective of values are more im- portant than material success even though achievement of an objective is a Worthy goal. Try to be sensible of your limitations and your talents equally. If necessary reduce your desires and thus indirectly your Worries and maybe you Will be able to cast aside your fears. Avoid gossip and avoid the gossips. Be ready to adjust yourself to constantly changing circumstances and above all look forward and not backward. WINFIELD C. POTTER Page F ive
