Christmas
and
New
Year
Message
From
Olof
Hanson
To
the
residents
of
Northern
and
Central
British
Columbia,
I
extend
my
sincere
wishes
for
a
Happy
Christmas
and
a
Prosperous
New
Year.
The
prevailing
unsatisfactory
status
of
life
today
demands
a
most
thorough
manifestation
of
a
Christmas
Spirit
in
every
respect.
Fortunately,
events
of
the
past
few
months
would
indicate
a
"Silver
Lining"
almost
within
our
view,
in
the
meantime
we
must
help
each
other
to
bear
with
fortitude
until
we
arrive
at
the
coming
era
of
prosperity,
which
I
trust
we
shall
experience
early
in
1932.
OLOF
HANSON.
