Facts and Fannies '
Of New Year 9 8 Day 1
'New Year’s with its open houses,
parties, exchanging of Net* Year’s
cards, horn tooting, Auld Lang Syne
and New Year’s resolutions, is one
of the oldest of celebrations. As a
holiday it has been observed since
ancient times, and has been marked
throughout history by the giving of
gifts and the exchange of greetings.
The early Persians said “Happy
New Year!” with colored eggs.
They regarded New Year’s in much
the same way we, today, regard
Easter as a time of renewal
all things. And on New Year’s D
pagan Britons received branches o,
sacred mistletoe from their Druid
priests.
According to some authorities the
custom of gift-giving at New
Year’s originated in 747 B. C. when
the Romans presented Tatius, king
of the Sabines, with boughs from
trees consecrated to Strenia, the
goddess of strength. Consequently,
New Year’s gifts became known as
“strenae” and were exchanged
among friends and neighbors and
'exacted by emperors from their
subjects.
The Emperor Claudius showed un
precedented concern for the “popu
li’s” pocketbook by serving notice
to the Roman citizenry that the cost
of all “strenae” given to him should
not exceed a specified amount.
V* ,► - A.-***^
While the observation of NCw
Year’s dates from early Persian
time, the modern version with
its noise and celebration is a
vastly different affair than the
B. C. period.
Henry 111 of England, however,
wasn’t so considerate. H*e followed
the Roman tradition of exacting
New Year’s gifts from his subjects,
and this custom was carried on by
succeeding monarchs up until the
time of Charles I.
It was this practice which caused
one of Henry VIII’s most em
barrassing moments. One “Honest
Old Latimer,” instead of presenting
his sovereign lord with the usual
* purse of gold, gave him the New
Testament with a leaf conspicuous
ly folded down at Hebrews XIII,
4, which passage bore certain ap
propriateness to the monarch’s 1 do
mestic failings.
Most noted for fabulous New
Year’s “hauls” was Good Queen
Bess. Her presents ranged from
jewel-embroidered petticoats to fat
ted geese for the royal larder.
However, when Oliver Cromwell
and the Puritans took over the
English government, they put an
end to this extravagant practice, '
only to have it revived later by the
royal Stuarts.
In Merrie Olde England, the com
mon New Year’s article of ex
change amongst the ordinary
citizenry was a pair of gloves. Oc
casionally the gloves were accom
panied by sums of money which
came to be known as "glove
money.”
A story is told of Sir Thomas,
More, lord-chancellor, who decided j
a case in favor of a certain young ;
lady. On the following New Year’s
Day, she sent him a pair of gloves
with 40 gold coins enclosed. Sir
Thomas returned the coins with the
following note: “Mistress, since it
were against good manners to re
fuse your New Year’s gift, I am
content to take your gloves, but as
for tße ‘lining’ I utterly refuse to
take it.”
Pins, too, were a common New
Year’s gift at this time and the
money accompanying them was re
ferred to as “pin-money” hence
our modern term.
Today, in England and America,
the practice of exchanging New
Year’s gifts is practically obsolete.
But the spirit of hope and good will
f ind resolution that characterizes
the coming of the New Year is kept
alive by the friendly and growing
custom of exchanging New Year’s
cards with their colorful holiday
symbols and hearty messages of
cheer.

ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOLLARS WORTH OF
CONFIDENCE
To dispel for all time the untrue
and malicious ru/mors that have been
i circulated about the permanence of
Salinfio ink used in all Reynolds Pens
Milton Reyonlds. chairman of the
board of the Reynolds Pen Company,
in Miami, Florida, backed his conli
juence in his product with SIOO,OOO.
The occasion for this was the writ-
I ing of a check tor SIOO,OOO in the
I safe deposits vaults of the Mercantile
I National Bank in the presence of
j Mayor Herbert A. Frink, Maurice
| Liberman, president of the Mercan-
I tile National Bank, and Ruth Byrd,
Sun and Fun Queen of Miami Beach.
As farther evidence of his confi
dence, the check was written under
water and placed in the vaults of the
..lercantile National Bank.
| Mr. Reynolds annoucned that he
! would pay SIOO,OOO to any designat
! ed charity if, at the end of one year,
the check for SIOO,OOO was not clear
ly legible.
| Mr. Reynolds said that a report
from a nationally known research
laboratory in Chicago showed that,
with the exception of Parker “61,”
| all standard inks now used in the
United States faded as much or more
than the Reynolds Satinflo and that
all exceeded U. S. government • re
: quiiremtnts. Many of these inks are
considered and sold as “permanent”
inks.

CHRISTMAS TREES AS FIRE
HAZARDS
“Each year the question arises as
to the fire hazard of Christmas trees
and decorations,” says a bulletin of
] the National Board of Fire Under
writers. “The inflammability of the
irees used is well known, and con
siderable thought has been given to
the question of rendering them less
easily ignited. Various methods of
treating trees with flameproofing
solutions have been tried, buit none
has proven successful.
| “Because of the inability to make
Christmas trees flameproof, it is
urged that other protective practices
be adopted.
[ ‘‘Keep the tree outdoors until
ready to install it. Do not set it up
until a few days before Christmas.
Place ,'t in the coolest part of the
house. If necessary, shut off any radi
ator close to it.
“Under no circumstance use any
cotton or paper for decoration of the
tree, or around it.
Be Careful With Lights
| “Do not place electric trains
around the tree. Use only electric
lights and see that all of the strings
are in good condition and not frayed.
Those which have been inspected by
■ Underwriters’ Laboratories have a
j paper band around the wire or a
statement on the box.
) “Do not leave tree lights burning
when no one is in the house. From
’ time to time inspect the tree and see
whether any of the needles near the
jghts have started to tur brown. If
so, change the location of the lights.
When the needles start falling, take
the tree down and discard it.
“If it is desired to keep the tree up
for a few days longer, then do not
keep lights on for more than a half
hour at a time.
Tf any decorations are used about
the house, do not permit them to be
l around or near chairs or other places
1 where persons may smoke. It is pre
ferable to have them up near the
ceiling, well above the head of any
one standing up. If lights are desired
in windows, never use candles; keep
! curtains and other flammable mater
ial pulled back at least six inches
from any light.
Precautions for Public Places
“In. hotels, churches, hospitals and
other places of assembly, and in hall
, ways of offices, the location of the
| Christmas tree is of vital importance.
It should not be located near any
j stairway or elevator which would
i provide an upper draft. It should not
re-ir entrance doors or otherwise

VACATION CANNING FOR SCHOOL
LUNCHES
Many of the fresh fruits and vege
tables that are tops in good nutrition
for growing children ripen in the
good old summer time when school’s
out and the fresh material cannot be
used in scohol lunches. This type of
food also is of the sort most likely to
develon temporary gluts on the mar
ket, thus failing to provide a fair re
turn to growers.
Looking ahead, the Production and
Marketing Administration of the U.
S. Department of Agriculture—which
administers the School Lunch Pro
gram—is suggesting that now is a
good time for the local sponsors of
ochool lunches to be making plans
and arrangements to make the most
of summer plenty in such foods.
Foods that the children will not be
eating at school in the summer can
be canned for winter use. The estab
lishment of the school lunch program
as a permanent undertaking that will
continue to enjoy Federal financial
support, now makes it practical to
make such plans well in advance.
The school lunch as an outlet for
such perishable commodities as fruits
and vegetables “depends largely up
on the development and use of food
processing facilities,” says a PMA
statement. This emphasizes that “a
concer.ed effort should be made to
ink &1: school outlets with some type
of food preservation center.”
lii many cases the school lunch
programs have benefited greatly by
volunteer work at co unity can
ning centers where frt u fruit and
vegetables have been contributed and
have been processed for winter lun
ches. The PMA points out that ‘‘if
local school lunch canneries are not
available, arrangements might, be
made by State or local sponsors or
State PMA offices to have commodi
ties processed at an institutional
food preservation center or a com
mercial cannery at a reasonable
charge to the school lunch sponsor.”
Kansas, Georgia, Ohio and Arkan
sas ha\e already developed plans
along ihis line.
