Friday, December 24^
& Christmas this year in America has
been made doubly significant by the
glorious sacrifice of the youth of our
Nation. Somehow we believe it fitting
and appropriate to remember them es-
pecially, in our Christmas Greetings.
Without their efforts Christmas this
year would be empty indeed. Because
of their sacrifice and their willingness to serve, an American
Christmas is again possible.
Work!—That Was 1621
New Year’s Observance
•‘We went to work betimes.”
This laconic entry in a pioneer
American’s journal is the sole rec-
ord of the observance of New Year’s
in 1621 by the Pilgrims in the New
world.
Many a good Puritan minister re-
garded the celebration or even
thought of New Year’s day as an ir-
reverent and impious observance
honoring the Ftoman God Janus,
from whom the year’s first month
derives its name.
Yet the Pilgrims and Puritans
came from a land where New Year’s
I eve and New Year’s day were sec-
ond in importance only to Christ-
mas. Throughout every English
county New Year’s eve was always
celebrated. In many districts it was
called by the name of "Singing
E’en,” from the custom which ob-
tained of singing the last of the
Christmas carols at that time.

U, By Th« Nation’* HomenUkcn i
Here are four resolutions which
all conscientious housewives and
homemakers will want to make, and
keep. They are the means by which
the health of their families, and
eventually the nation, will be im-
proved:
RESOLVED:
To plan and serve healthful, well-
balanced, attractive meals to the
_ family every day;
such meals to in-
elude “protec-
tive" food such
as milk- citrus
fruits, tomatoes,
leafy vegetables,
yellow vegeta*
bles, eggs, meats,
fish, cheese, whole-
cereal breads,
butter or enriched margarine. To
add calories by means of jellies,
sweets and desserts.
To increase the food budget, rath-
er than omit an essential food . . .
to use the less expensive meats,
meat substitutes and tisn that are
just as full of nutrition as the mors
demanded protein sources of food.
To not use soda when cooking, as
it is the cause of vitamin losses . . .
to cook all foods
properly to pre-
serve valuable vi-
tamins, minerals
... to use vegeta-
ble liquids for
soups, sauces,
gravies, stews.
To be a better
planner, buyer,
and cook ... to
avoid waste, and use left-overs
promptly, store foods correctly.
