CORBETT As the old year closes and when the new year is ushered in, let all of us resolve to start 1957 free from bitterness, hate or envy and if we have had our personal differences, misunderstandings and maybe feuds, let by bygones be bygones and start out with a clear conscience. We can best emphasize this by reproducing a motto we mailed to friends m 1955. as follows: PROMISE YOURSELF NORlHWEST CLARION Mississippi Senator Polio Campaign Attends Mixed (i U d W Social Affair ets n er ay Dell'rmined to finish the fight HONOLULU- Probably for tht' ngninst polio, thousands of volun. first time in his cnl't'cr, Sen.
