It would be in order-certainly
traditional-for the community
newspaper to raise its sights for
a long look at what the new year
holds in store fot: the community
the paper serves.: We'll haye to
pass the opportunity, for, like a
lot of people in Corona del Mar,
we are too new for newspaper
omniscience (some newspapers
know everything!) but 1 o n g
enough present to like Corona del
Mar and Balboa Island better
than any other town or city.
Reader response to the EN-
SIGN has been encouraging in
the first five months of the pa-
per's existence. Advertisers have
given heartening support and in
tum have received real assistance
in this, their primary market
area. As far as the ENSIGN is
concerned, the outlook is pr8mis-
ing. The New Year should be a
good one.
Of one thing the ENSIGN is
cert.ain, however, and that is its
sincerity in Wishini for ~
man, woman and child ln Balboa
island and Corona del Mar the
very best duriJtg 1949. And with
that wish is this paper's p~
to do everything it can for ~the
good of its commiihittes and the
people in them who make them
the attractive, vital places ~
are. That is the paper's poUcy,
and we think we can make it
stick. By hewing to this Une we
think we can help these commu-
nities have a happy new year.
Parties Earn TIJanlcs
Commendable indeed were the
two free parties staged for the
little ones by the two communi-
ties of Balboa Island and Corona
del Mar.
The two groups which preaent-
ed the children of the towns with
these Christmas festivities are
the Rotary Club and the Corona
del Mar Business Association.
Both organizations eam the
thanks of many parents, but the
real gratitude is registered in the
wide-eyed wondennent and pleas-
ure of all of the little folk who
attended.
