New Year Enters

New Year Enters On Calmer Note. Accident-Free Merry - Making Subdued. Police Hospital Find The community said farewell to 1952 Wednesday night without untoward incident. Or perhaps, it can be said 1953 was greeted cautiously. In either event, the old year sneaked out in the shadow's of fog and drizzle after a dismal swan song throughout its final day. And the analogy is carried fur ther by moving up the clock to 8 a. m . January 1. 1953. which broke with a brisk clearness, pos sibly indicative of the next 365 days. Police Report Quiet Farmvilie police said the night was uneventfully free of trouble, argument or injury. The South side Community Hospital also was without admissions chargeable to New Year celebrations Up to noon. January 1. 1953 had not brought any new faces at the maternity ward at the hos pital. either. There was still 12 hours to go. however, it was noted there hopefully, then. TV Kelt A new form of celebration, at once mingling the raucous and the safety of a home living room, may have helped induce more than the usual quiet. For TV made its pres ence felt, as numerous families watched within the safe confines of home, while revelers churned up Times Square and the metro politan night spots. There was no reports of high way accidents in this immediate area to mar the note of celebra ; tion. j Celebration of a new year, a brighter day, was limited by the thoughts in the minds of many of the troubled spots around the world, and the community had its share of prayers for these. War Pain Kelt While 1952, expired, war in Ko I rea. Indochina and Malaya, re vision in the Middle East, seeth i ing m Africa, but marked another 1 year. Standing threateningly per . haps, above all eiese on the thres ; hold of 1953. was the world I skating struggle between the East and West. j For these there were prayers and, as 1953 dawned, the hope that 365 days hence, these sore : spots might be eased.
