RIW TKAS HOPS Hie new year of 1947 was ushered in on Wednesday, Jan. 1, with promise of bringing to the people of this nation the realisation of dreams of Ions standing- Some, less far sighted persons expected these dreams to come true in 1946 but these were the people who neglected to consider the many post-war problems which would not permit'the world to return to normal at once. Last week President Truman officially declared an fend to World War II hostilities in a proclamation that immediately canceled twenty wartime statues. With the turn of the year a new Congress took 'their seats-, with a new party wielding its influence over the operations of our government Whether their viewpoints and their manner of carrying them out will mean a more settlec and better managed country, only time will tell. At any rate, new ideas give way to new hope, and it is a trustful nation that feels the United States returning to the prewar stability for which they nave waited so long. Probably the moat important immediate effect of Mr. Truman's declaration was to put an end to the government's specific power to seise strike-threatened plants, mines or oilier productive facilities essential to the national welfare. This lifting of government control is sure to have its effect on general conditions, and the public is prone to believe that this "effect" will be favorable. Encouraging Reports Even before the advent of 1947, reports from reliable sources informed us that clothing was one of several important items which would become more plentiful during the new vear, at reduced prices. Another unofficial announcement that the sugar rationing would end early in the year was an encouraging news note for harassed housewives who have tattled unpredictable food markets for five years to set three daily meals before war-weary families. *n>ere will be dark moments during 1947, too, for changes both for the better and the worse come gradually. The public is becoming more accident- conscious, but not bring about a stop to crashes as those which violent deaths over the holiday apd more than enough to such .auto caused 116 New Year double that toll on Christmas Day. The nation Is beginning to realise, too, the ularming rise in divorces, which arc breaking up thousands of families each year. An example is the total of more than 125 granted in Mc- Henry county alone during the past year. We cannot hope for an end bo accidents and divorces and the many other misfortunes which have beer, on the increase in 1946. If we are able to take the first step, by reducing these astounding figures, we feel that we nave accomplished eh in 1947. |fr. and Mrs. Harold Bacon and Mnily of Crystal Lake visited the home of Mrs. Nellie Bacon Mow Tear's Day.
