THE YEAR WE HAVE ENTERED THE ATLANTIC VOICE Devoted to the interest of the people of the Atlantic Zone VI YEAR LIMON, COSTA RICA JANUARY 6th. 1940 277 WIRELESS NEWS Mr. Weeks Has Been Retired IV We have today reached the sixth of another year with myriad uncertainties. No one konws what will be en.
countered during this new period, so we should strenuously endeavour to utilize the dearly bought experiences of 1939 for our greatest good.
Many are the resolutions which, we are confident, hove been made for 1940 for the promotion of our general welfore, but we wish to particularly direct attention to the urgent need there is for more intensive agricultural and industrial activities. Our Banana output continues to diminish alormingly, while our Cocao trode displays the greatest uncertainty. It is essential, therefore, that we give careful attention to the cultivation of other worthwhile, lucrative crops Much interest is being manifested in the Castor Oil Industry a product well adapted to our soil and climate.
We carry on interesting article on the subject elsewhere in his issue. We can see no reason why the cultivation of Castor Beans should not be successfully undertaken through out our Zone. We have been deprived of the benefit of the Plant, whic hit wos thought would have been erected in this city, for the manufacturing of Oils on an extensive commercial scale. It is therefore up to us to see after our own economic welfare. We each of us owes a duty toward the progress of the Province, hence we must launch a comprehensive programme to help ourselves in all respects.
The curtain is going up on a government that has materially assisted our cause, and we are looking forward to a new Administration with greater possibilities, for they, like ourselves, have had bitter experience, and are consequently well prepared to aid in the revival of our economic prosperity. Conditions are continually on the change, and so we are, in a sense, very different creatures to whot we were in 1939. It is our fondest wish that the gateway to happiness and prosperity be thrown wide open so all may be able to effect every possible achievement during this New, nd, we trust, more prosperous Cycle of Months.
