Juanita nodded and started out, trot in haste or anxiety, but as Plutiously as any Indian trailer of SO older day.

Answer: Your correspondent writes with flourishes and high wavy "1•' bars, with pointed and sometimes angular script. This is follc'wctf with dots of the letter "i" that look very much like commas, These dots arc very dis- tinct and stand out above the stent of the letter itself. All these signs in the script tell me that he does not take life's realities too seriously and he is inclined to be easy going, The signs of humor, a rare gift, indicates a good com- panion, one whose lively imaging• tion and sense of humor and good fellowship Italie him versatile and tesourceful, The long, deep strokes of the letter "y" arc good examples of his interest in the out•of•doors and par,licularly in sport activities. In this regard he shows a preference for movement, activity and vari- ety in all his interests, There is a decided inclination to regard de• tails and routine matters with disinterest, Another good characteristic 10 the scrip is Itis loyalty. This is clearly shown in the letter "i" and it is excellent indication of an earnest faithfulness to his ideals, friends and purposes. Although sociable and friendly with others, he docs not follow the crowd, seeking popularity but is content with having a few close associates for long, lasting companionship Artyurre• i.tshtug a mote complete analysis please send self-addressed :tainted envelope to Box B, roost 421, 7.3 Adelaide SI, Nest, Toronto.

NEW YEAR'S DAY is more gen- erally celebrated throughout the world than any other holiday despite the fact that the new year does not begin January 1 in many countries. Advent of the new year Is hailed universally with good will, celebra- tions, hospitality and, in many coun- tries, with an exchange of gifts. Origin of the New Year's celebra- tion Is lost in antiquity. About 3,000 years before the birth of Christ the people of Babylonia kept n New Year's festival which lasted for 11 or 12 days. In the clays of the Roman Empire the year had only 10 months, begin- ning with March. When the months of January and Feb- ruary were added to the calendar, Jan- uary 1 was desig• noted ns sacred to Janus who, accord - Ing to mythology, had two faces. Ho- mans believed Janus looked bpckwnrd over the past year with one face and turned the other face to the future. When the Ro- mans became Christians, the testi• val still was kept although it was observed as a day of prayer and fasting. The modern trend of festivities and merrymnkings to herald the new year has been In vogue for three or tour hundred years. In America and throughout most of the world celebra- tions begin on New Year's Eve. First to Celebrate New Year's Day Chatham islands, New Zealand, is the first place In the world to cele. brate New Year. A British colony, the islands are inhabited by 206 per- sons, largely shepherds. The islands are at the nearest starting line of time, and when New (fear arrives its Is only 12 noon In London and 7 n. m, in New York. As it dawns on the Islands, the IPew Year begins its race westward (long the equator at a speed of 1,000 miles an hour. 13y the time New Yorkers gather to ring in the new rear, the Islanders are sitting down b dinner How Can 1? By Anne Ashley Q. How can I remedy dry hair? A. A hot oil shampoo is good • for dry hair. Heat pure olive oil and apply to the hair and scalp thoroughly at bedtime. Bind the hair with a towel to prevent staining the bed linen, and then next morning wash with a mild, liquid shampoo. Use this treat• mcnt about once a week. Q. How can I make string beans retain a bright color after cooking? A. If a pinch of balling soda is added to string beans while they are cooking, it will soften them and also preserve their color. Q. How can I prevent the thread fro n curling and knotting while sewing? A. Before cutting the thread from the spool, thread the needle and make a knot at the freshly- cut reshlycut end of the thread, Q. How can I remove oil stains from carpets? A. Cover the spot with a paste made of fuller's earth and water and let it remain for 24 hours. Scrub with benzine if the oil is from the streets, REAL ORIGIN January, the first monti' of the year, derives its name from the Roman god Janus, Because Janus was a two faced god, represented by the Romans ns looking backward as well as forward, the idol was considered a fitting symbol for the turn of a new year, Standing firmly at the juncture of the new and the old, Janus could look back on the past year and look forward to the new.

I3 14 -: 15 CJtIIONCLES OF GINGER FA1M By Gwcndoline P. Clarke They do seem to clutter things up so badly. They have a nice ap- pearance, and you don't like to be rough and throw them out, but after all what good arc they when they are just shoved on one side and forgotten? They are some- thing like a pretty girl without any worthwhile personality—nice looking but useless. '1'ltere is another thing that weighs down a pack rather badly, and that is debts, 011 my, yes, debts can get terribly heavy! The Chinese realised that long ago so what do they do? Tiley pay every- one they owe before the old year (lies and then they are all "vclly, vclly” happy. Maybe we can't all do that—sometimes it isn't eVelt good bus'I,ncss—but t least we can look after the little bills that should be paid. We might at least clear up the nuisance debts—tile $1.50 owing at the grocer's, that $2.90 at the butcher's for meat sent out with the mail -man, and for the apron that Bill brought home on approval. Why add to the work of the store -keeper by having hint sent] these little ac- counts out time and again. Of course we arc being kind to the government. Every stamp that is bought adds to its revenue. Well folks, that's my New Year's message—the best of luck to you, and may your pack be light the whole year through. 1lappy Ncw Year, Everybody! Anil won't it be nice to start a brand new year with all the trou- ble, :nd trials of the old year left, like a heavy pack, on the road behind 1l . That new pack we arc taking along with us into the New \'car is going to feel It little light and empty for awhile, isn't it? slut it will soon fill up a bit --- you'll sec. But 1 vuudcr w'011 what? 'May- be that is up to ourselves. Supposing sada one of us starts out with an empty pack and has the opportunity to fill it up with whatsoever Ave like—what a vari- ety of things there will be! K • * This kind of pact: is so differ- ent from other baggage—it will carry sul:•hine or gloom; kind Occult or selfishness, And strange to say the weight of the pack (le - pends not so much on how full it is but what it carries. Kind- ness and sunshine weigh far less than selfishness or gloom. No platter hots touch happiness we load there is always room for a little more, As for kind deeds they take up hardly any roost at all —and they are so light it is never any trouble to carry them around. But, oh my—just try toting a few selfish thoughts along with you and your load is soon as heavy as lead. And worry—worry is the worst burden of all, But that is plainly because of its heavy wrappings. Take the wrap- pings away and let the good, clean air and sunshine get to the inside package and 011111e(liately it begins to shrink, and sometimes evaporates completely, Worry al- ways acts that way — given the opportunity. t Just think of the old pack you left with 19-t7—you will remem- ber it wasn't the joy and the tat: slog, the kindness to the old folk nor the patience with the young—they were not things that grade it heavy, were they? No, it was the hurt feelings that were being carried around the little petty jealousies, the determination to "get even," the discontent and unrest—it was those things that weighed so heavily all the time, don't you think so? But, oh dear, let's forget about that old pack—it belongs to the past, doesn't it? Our concern now is with' 1948, and here we are with a nice new pack—and we are not going to let it become a burden, are we? Or, if it does show any sign of overweight, we can at least have a houseclean- ing—turn the pack inside out, let in, the sunshine, throw out the glom, and start all over again. * * * But do you kilo\ what? — 1 don't think we had better put in too many New Year resolutions. New Year QUOTE' "The object of a new year is not that we should have a new year. It is that we should have a new soul and a new nose; new feet, a new backbone, new ears, and new eyes. . Unless a man starts afresh about things, he will certainly do nothing effective, . . , Unless a man be born again, he shall by no means enter into the kingdom of heaven." —G. K. Chesterton. • • . "New leaves, to be surel Let them turn them that are ashamed of their old ones." —Edward Payson Powell. • • • "Ring out the old, ring in the new, Ring, happy belle, across the snow; The year is going, let him go; Ring out the false, ring in the true." —Alfred Tennyson. • t * "We are bound, by every rule of justice and equity, to give the New Year credit for be- ing a good one until he proves him- self unworthy the confidence we repose in him." —Charles Dickens. e..

These simple words are once again echoing and rc-echoing across this land of ours ... bringing hands and hearts together at the gladdest time of the year. The joy that belongs to Christmas is for everyone. It is a time when we develop a deeper regard for the things of true worth: the unselfishness of n neighbour . .. the offer of help from a passerby ... the spontaneous good deed. In presenting The Dow Award from time to time to deserving persons, we like to feel that we arc promoting a greater appreciation of such qualities ... a new pride in our oitizenehip and in the achievements of our fellow Canadians. -X40" ce77, D Ow {{AW AWARD 1 cR-*sanfe1I j(,.

As the bell In the church ;steeple began to toll, he would rush ,pup to the door of his beloved's ;home, to be the first to cross her 'threshold. The girl would listen !for "The first foot's entering step. That sudden on the floor is welcome heard, 'Ere blushing maids have braided up their hair; The laugh, the hearty kiss, the good New Year, Pronounced with honest warmth." In Scotland, as In most northern .European countries, it Is an old be- tllef that spirits, both good and evil, 'are peculiarly active on New Year's 'Eve. On the stroke of midnight, ac - (cording to the ancient superstition, all genii were in motion and could be exorcised by appropriate words. Good genii were called hillmen or i"hoghmen" in the dialect of Scot- land, and evil spirits called trolls. 'Mummers used to wander about the streets, wearing masks and carry- ing cudgels, reciting this doggerel verse, in an effort to attract the good "hogomanay" and to drive off the evil "trollolay"— "Hogomanny, Trollolay, Gie o' your white bread, I'll hae nane o' your grey—" Scotch New Year's Toast Here's to the year that's awa'I We'll drink it, in strong and in sma'; And to each bonny lassie that we dearly loo'ed, In the days o' the year that's awa'I Here's to the friend we can trust, When the sorrows of adversity blow; Who can join in our song, and be nearest our heart, Nor depart—like the awa'I Italy Celebration of New year that's Year's Day seems to have arisen in Italy in the early Middle Ages, In the year 596 a bishop reproved his people for the drinking, feasting, and general wild time that they were indulging in on a holy day—the Feast of the Cir- cumcision of Christ, eight days after Christmas. He told them to turn their backs on "the old, profane and evil ways of paganism." In the later Middle Ages the observances of the day grew more spiritual, through the efforts of St. Gregory Thaumaturgus and St. Gregory the Great. The great day of fun and feasting in Syria is New fears, not Christ- mas. On NC Year's Day they ex- change presents, and children go about from d, or to door giving the greeting of the season, and expect- ing gifts of randy and money. Before going to bed on Ncw Year's Eve a Syrian child sets out a bowl of water and a dish of wheat for the refreshment of the camel who is supposed to bring him gifts. According to legend the camel was the youngest of the anhnals bearing the \Vise Men, and it fell down ex- hausted by the strenuous journey. The Christ Child, seeing this, blessed the animal and conferred immortality upon it. In Lebanon it is a "magic mule" who bears the gifts of the season. Hungary One of the quaintest New Year's customs is the visit of the chimney sweeps In Hungarian towns. The sweep knocks at the door with his broom, and the householders snatch a straw or two from it. These are tied with a ribbon and kept as a good luck charm during the year. To touch a pig on New Year's eve brings good luck, according to Hungarian tradition, In the princi- pal restaurants and cafes of Buda- pest they release a pig at midnight, and there is much merriment as the diners try to touch the squealing animal as it races among the tables. Czechoslovakia In Czechoslovakia they forecast the future by little "lightboats"— nut shells filled with wax and float- ing on water, n wick burning in each shell, If the boat floats toward the center, its owner will take a journey during the Ncw Ycar, If two boats come together, the own- ers will be married within the year.

Canada's share in the two hun- dred tIitt ate! daily arrivals is stir mel 4.I in a nen' film produced by the National Film hoard which is at present bring shown in many rural Ontario cot',Inm,itics. After much furrowing of the brow it was decided to entitle the filet, "Small Fry," for it deals tvitll Canadian children up to the ages of nine and ten. as well as with new -horn babies Ono factor that is brought out is the increasing amount Of assis- tance given our children front sources outside the family. Family Allowances is a recent example, and in the filet you sec the various forms this lairs. '1'o most people it is a cash proposition, but to the Indians and Eskimos of our far north, it conies in the forst of pab- lum and powdered milk, clothing and calmed tomatoes. Nursery schools arc spreading across Canada, and today Kiddies tau \uling for kindergarten are en- couraged to attend these Special self Is. In the filen we ser the Stunts -lea School, near 'Toronto, where modern architecture has pro-, tided scores of healthful and help- ful designs. The classrooms of this one-slot'y structure are each iti wing by itself with a door to the outdoors, 0 "project" nook where art, drama and games groups may work tuthindercd--Sud unhindcring. Three walls of each classroom arc mostly window, The ''blackboards" are not black, but light in color and easier on the pupil's eyes. Children arc' taught to express themselves— and who will object if this expres- sion stun takes the forte of paint on paper instead of jam 00 the wall paper and paint ? "Snail Ivry" also illustrates new methods of teaching. Taking the audience to a 1\lontreal school, it shows a jun!or class being taught languages by actual use rather than by study en rote, In French, to take an example, the pupils them- selves construct a tiny grocery store right in the classroom.

Despite the general state of good health among our chil- dren, the fact remains that epi- demics, light ones like whooping cough, and severe ones like scar- let fever and polio — are still tak- ing many lives every year. "Small I'ry" attempts to show what has been dente, and to indicate what still remains to be done, by par- ents schools and community or- ganizations, to make our children fit for the future they will inherit, \s I window Russian Agricultural experts now in Britain are baying livestock on a large scale for replenishing herds in the Soviet Union, Accompanied by their London agent, they are paying visits to many different parts of the country to inspect representative animals, 'Their purchases so far in- clude cattle, sheep and pigs.

TEEN•TOWN TOPICS By BARRY stand here looking out my on the threshold of a new ycar, the scene is hardly what one would call pl- easant to the eye. Canada is hard bit financ- ially. Prices are keeping the mi- ddle ntan down. in Europe it is tnttch worse. No one welconies in a new year without hoping that things may be cliiferent, I suppose that during the past year, few of its as indiv als have suffered very touch, but taking the country as a whole it ha•n't been so good. If we stick together and fight high prices, help our fellow elan and try to make Canada an even better place to lilt in — well, win know, this year may be different.

About twenty- five members left town at 8 o'clock for the country. One sleigh was sufficient for us, since everyone was not on it at the same time. There were always some who were run• niug behind, trying to catch up to to the sleigh, while others were having a battle to get themselves out of the snow -filled dit- ches. \\'hen we arrived back at the High School, we looked like a group of S110 and women, 100. The program conlnlitt,c did not con- clude with a sleigh -ride, but ar- ranged all iltdttir program as teed. Five groups were organized, each choosing a song.title and acting it 'l'Ite other groups had to guess the titles. Sorry you couldn't have heard theta or seen the actions. The two chosen teams tied in the speiling contest which was followed by square dancing --although everyone (lid not know how to square dance —they all enjoyed the attempt.
