Further Spurs to Advance for Great Surge Called for
Pyongyang, March 9 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun Tuesday editorially calls on all the servicepersons and people to get united single-mindedly around General Secretary Kim Jong Il and give further spurs to the march for a great surge in the efforts to improve the people's standard of living and thus glorify this meaningful year as a year of great changes to be specially recorded in the history of building a thriving nation.

It says:

The mass rally held in Hamhung City celebrating the completion of the modern vinalon factory, a great auspicious event of the whole country, was a rally symbolic of single-minded unity as it fully demonstrated the steadfast will of all the servicepersons and people to build a thriving nation on this land without fail under the leadership of Kim Jong Il.

Looking up to tender-hearted Kim Jong Il warmly waving back to the enthusiastically cheering attendants of the rally from the tribune of honor despite snow, all the servicepersons and people heartily responded to his noble patriotic call to single-mindedly unite and accomplish the cause of building a thriving nation, the lifelong desire of President Kim Il Sung, without fail and firmly pledged themselves to give free rein to the mental power based on the single-minded unity and eternally glorify the era of great heyday in the efforts to achieve prosperity ushered in by Kim Jong Il.

The single-minded unity is symbolic of the dignity and invincibility of Songun Korea and serves as a powerful treasured sword for building a thriving nation. The hurrah shouted by the participants in the rally at the top of their voices, looking up to him, represented a great epic scene which can be seen only in the DPRK where the leader and the people form an integral whole.

There is a wide avenue for achieving victory and prosperity for all the servicepersons and people and the tempo of the country's advance and leap forward is on the steady increase.

The world-startling great miracle performed by Songun Korea in developing the vinalon industry, the great victory of Korean-style socialism, provided a historic occasion of instilling the conviction of sure victory, optimism and tremendous strength and courage into the service personnel and people of the DPRK dashing ahead to win a final victory in the drive to build a thriving nation while intensifying the drive for a great surge in the efforts to improve the people's standard of living in hearty response to the militant calls of the Workers' Party of Korea.

It is necessary to continue working miracles and performing feats as required by the era of Songun on all the fronts by carrying forward the revolutionary spirit that prevailed at the rally and thus glorify this year marking the 65th anniversary of the foundation of the Party as a year recorded with people's happiness and a year in which shouts of hurrah for socialism resound louder.
