The atom-shaped sheet with a slogan "Let us accelerate the victorious advance of socialism with the great spirit of self-reliance and self-development as the dynamic force!" carries a stamp calling on the electric-power, metallurgical and chemical industries to take the lead and pictures representing the tasks for respective sectors to concentrate efforts on implementing the five-year strategy for national economic development.

Another sheet reflects an idea of the New Year Address to designate this year of the 85th anniversary of the founding of the Korean People's Army (KPA) as another year of training, another year of perfecting its combat preparedness and raise the fierce flames of increasing the military capability to train all officers and men of the KPA as a-match-for-a-hundred combatants, tigers of Mt Paektu, with letters "Let us further cement the political and military position of socialism as an impregnable fortress".

Printed in the upper part of the other sheet are letters "Let us set up across the Party a revolutionary climate of making selfless, devoted efforts for the good of the people" with the gist of a swear made by the respected Supreme Leader to become a true servant loyal to the people and a stamp calling on officials to seek more tasks for the sake of the people.
