TOWN AND DISTRICT

With the approach of Christmas, the BEACON takes the opportunity of wishing its many friends, subscribers, advertisers and readers, the Compliments of the Season, and the best prospects for a Bright and Prosperous New Year. Since commencing as a >)ws organ endeavouring to serve a section of the Bay of Plenty, it has been the objective of the paper to bring before the reading public those questions and controversies whidh have engaged the local mind from time to time. The warm support which has been accorded these efforts is deeply appreciated. Businessmen, organisations, local bodies and country groups have Combined to lend the greatest encouragement and for this we are deeply grateful. The new year stretches before us all with an uncertainty, without parallel. Fears for the future are however out of place at the present juncture when the nation is endeavouring to draw some solace from the glad festival of Christmas. It is therefore fit and proper that all should look upon the forthcoming holiday in the: light of a God-given tonic of which to make the most, during the strain of modern things. Town, and country are one as a community during the Christmas and New Year's season of relaxation from which all will return stronger and better equipped to grapple with the problems which lie ahead. A MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!
