Thursday, January 1, 1959, will be a holiday. The Post Office will be closed.
We will be starting on a new year. Do you think 1958 was a good year? Did you live the way you should? Are you happy with the way you are living? Are you?
Some of us can say with John Parker, the preacher:
"God hold the key of all unknown
And I am glad:
If other hands should hold the key,
Or if He trusted it to me
I might be sad."
We wish that all people everywhere could say they are trusting in God and leaving the New Year in His hands.
Mrs. Burden called from Wickenburg last week to wish everyone a "Merry Christmas".
Miss Barker who was having a meeting at the Grand Canyon for the Supai women up there, called down on the telephone and said to tell everyone down here she hoped they had "a Blessed Christmas". She said to tell all her friends to remember that Christmas was the birthday of Jesus and that it was a Holy Day.
She said the Supais used to invite all the government employees to eat with them every Christmas. In those days there were lots more people here and more employees.
Harlow Uqualla, Store Manager, Says the Store will be closed on New Year's Day. However, he says he will come over late in the afternoon and sell groceries to those who need them.
Tomorrow will be a noisy place as people will be shooting guns to bring in the New Year. You might even see a sky rocket or two if you watch.
Mr. Collins has some loud noise makers.
We wish to thank the people at Deer Lodge who sent down some Christmas Carol Books for us to use in singing.
It seems to be tree chopping and trimming time in Supai; everywhere you look men are swinging the axe!
The last page of the newspaper was written on Tuesday as Monday was too busy a day to finish it.
HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYBODY!!!
