Are you a happy person? Do' you get mad easily? Do you worry? Do you take time to have any fun? Do you feel that other? do not appreciate you? Are you willing to try new ideas? Do you resent having people tell you what to do? Do you feel sorry for yourself? 1 Are you critical of others? THE CHOWAN HERALD. EDENTON. NORTH CAROLINA. THURSDAY. DECEMBER 31. 1959. Do you make excuses for your-[ self? Do you express appreciation! to others? Are you a good sport about disappointments? Are you self-conscious? Is it hard for you to forgive a wrong? Do you feel easily slighted? Do you find it difficult to make your own decisions? Do you think other people get all the breaks? Can you “take” criticism? Can you share credit with oth ers for jobs well done? Can you see the other person’s viewpoint? What do you want from life for yourself—for your loved ones? What are your goals in life? What is your philosophy for liv ing happily, creatively, success fully? Dr. Bernice Moore, consultant, Hagg Foundation, University of Texas, says: “All of us who have come to understand our selves and others have made peace with our souls in that we have developed a philosophy of living, a faith. “We have come to recognize those values, those ideals, those ideas by which we chart our course out of ourselves and into the understanding, the helping of others to help themselves. 1 “Understanding is a necessity ' for effective living. It is basic to respect each other, and for the liking of others. Those who have developed the art cf hu man understanding have achiev ed at the same time the great est of faith in our fellow men.” In our homes, in our clubs, in our communities, let’s try to be the sort of people in 1960 who will make life a little happier, a little brighter for all of those whose lives touch ours. To do this we have to start with our selves! Taken from Family Life Pro ject Report—Mrs. Corinne J.

Henry 111 introduced the cus tom in England in the 1200’s, and Elizabeth I collected enough loot to replenish her wardrobe for a year. The custom went out with Oliver Cromwell. In Scotland, bad luck is in store for a family if the first person to set foot in the house on New Year’s day is a woman, or a gravedigger, or a person w.ho walks with his toes turned in, or a man with red or blonde hair. To minimize the risk, the Scots appoint a tall, dark man as the “first-footer.” On New Year’s day he enters each house in silence, places a bundle of | fagots on the fire, then wishes the family good luck. Even, the ‘poorest Chinese buy , new shoes for the holiday, be j cause it is bad luck to step down I on the ground into old shoes on New Year’s day. And the Por- tuguese ignore their debts, be-1 cause the man who pays a bill on this day will pay out money all year. The Brazilians open the New Year by expressing the hope of all men—they designate January 1 as the Day of Universal Broth erhood.
