TO YOU
On the threshold of a New Tear, the Nugget extends to its reader?
the greetings of the day, with an added hope and wish that the newly open
ing year will bring to each and every one the blessings of contentment and
prosperity and grant them every honest hope and worthy desire.
THE NEW YEAR
lladiunt with the pristine glow of Youth, the infant year today emerges
from out the mists of Time’s vast future and easts the sh'ining light of hi?
benign presence over a war torn but once more peaceful world.
To us of Nome, who have been far away from the strife and turmoil
and have heard only from afar the cry of tortured millions locked in the
dread embrace of mortal conflict, the coming of a new year is. perhaps, a
little thing.
To us the shock of battle, the roar of guns, the cries of anguish born
of livid wounds, the wail of the fam'ishing and the tears of the bereft, were
too remote to strike upon our consciousness in more than n feeble way.
Only when death reached out his grisly hand and snatched away amid the
mge of war someone whom we knew or loved, did the appalling realization
of war’s enormity and horror come to our minds. Even then it was diffi
cult for most of us to grasp the full meaning of it or realize what ht meant
10 those whom fate or circumstance compelled to bare their shoulders to the
war god’s gory flail. To most of us the war has been unreal and vague,
like some unpleasant phantasmorgia flitting across our consciousness
leaving behind few scars to mark its passage.
Hut reflect for a moment on what this New Year means to those
to whom the struggle and all its attendant horrors have been a dread reality
for four long years. Let your thoughts dwell upon the things which to them
were real, and hideous and compelling and bore In their substance a fearful
puin and travail, but to you w-ere little more than printed or pictured tales
of things far away—grewsomc and horrifying tales, perhaps, but still, only
tales. To you the New Year may ineitn very little; its coming does not ap
preciably alter the normal trend of your existence, changes nothing of the
routine of your daily life, brings you nothing, so far ns you can see, which
might occasion new joy or thankful I ness for 'its coming. But think of what
it must mean to those multiplied millions who have faced war’s grim reali
ties. and borne in their flesh the pain of wounds and In their hearts and
minds the anguish and doubt and fear which follow in its train.
To them the New Year means Joy and resurrection; surcease from the
trials and turmoils, the dread and pain, the sorrow and woe, which have so
long been their portion. Tried in war’s lustful, devastating fires, until cour
age had all but yielded to, despair, tortured and bled and starved until it
seemed that even hope had almost fled, the Now Year brings to them a new
era of blessed peace and promise—a new dawn after the darkness and the
glory of a new day in which peace and quiet will replace the cannon’s dread
ful roar, when Death will wipe his bloody sickle and Time’s obliterating
touch will heal the hurts and still the sorrows of the desolated years.
To them, and if we but realize it, also to ourselves, this bright New
Years day cne to be greeted with glad rejoicing and thankfulness, as
marking the end of the world's greatest period of travail and the beginning
of a new future, peaceful and filled with promise of new and better things
lor all humanity.
LOOK UP AND SMILE
Piloted elsewhere in this issue of the Nuclei will be found a little
poem written toy :i local contributor which is right worthy the dcslgnotlon of
"n message of good cheer", for that it hears in its rhyming cadences a lesson
for most of us. The title of this timely little message Is: "Cheer up and
Smile". When seated today in the comforting glow of your fireside after,
let us hope, a fitting New Year repost, read this warm, little refrain and let
the message It conveys sink deep Into your being so that you may remember
it throughout the year. You may not exactly "care" for poetry, but this,
although written in rhyming sentences, is mors than a poem. It is really a
sermon in verse, beuring a message of hope and comfort and a kindly admoni
tion. The year Just closed has. indeed, been a most sorrowful one for
the world and ourselves. Death, raging with cataclysmic fury, has struck
hard at our hearts and saddened our minds with the pain of a.great sorrow,
familiar faces, whose presence we were glad to see. am miming from many
n Nome fireside and Orlef sits brooding In the shadowed sllonce of many a
home. Travail and suffering, such ns we have never known before, have
Iieen the portion of nearly every Individual In the city and the passage of the
grim specters of Pestilence and Death have left their mark on every soul.
We have suffered In a common suffering aad sham in a common sorrow.
Some hearts still ache with the grief of bereavement and many of no an
still downcast and dispirited. To those our sympathy goes out. ftor the days
are dull and Time is laggard for those who mourn.
Hut today we are on the threshold of a New Year and beyond lies ths
bright future. That is why we counsel you to tend the poem referred to.
