WHITE DEER REVIEW, White Deer, Carson County, Texas
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1943
^^NE'S "home may be frail: its roof may shake,
the wind may blow through it, the storms may
enter, the rain may enter”, but at New Year’s even
such a home may be alight with cheer.
Standing on the threshold of 1944 there is
reason to believe that the new chapter has brighter
pages for all. With this thought we extend to all
OH! SINCERE NEW YEAR S GREETINGS

time to renew old friendships and
that resolution which we make each
year—to serve our customers still
better than the year before ....

95 PERCENT OF
SOLDIER INSURED
The National Service Insurance
program in the Army has grown
to a 65 billion dollar enterprise,
providing insurance protection to
more than 95 percent of all mem-
bers of the Army according to the
War Department. The program
•was established three years ago.
May this New Year’s
bear a photographic
likeness to the one of
your heart’s desire, and
may 1944 be an album
of 366 very happy
days. This, friends and
patrons, is our New
Year’s wish for you.

With millions of pounds of
waste fats still needed to meet war
damands, Paul C. Cabot, director
of WPB Salvage Division, recent-
ly urged housewives to remember
that even accumulated fats become
rancid, they still retain a majority
of the valuable glycerine that goes
into war production. Some house-
wives, believing that rancid fats
are valueless, have not been turn-
ing them in for salvage. This has
resulted in the loss of thousands of
pounds of glycerine that could
have been processed fro these fats.

The speculative attitude of this
young lady is ample proof that she
is taking her New Year’s resolu-
tions seriously. She isn’t going to
take a chance on making a resolu-
tion, she won’t keep. Perhaps she
has determined to study harder or
to be of greater help to her mother
—but at least she is going to keep
her word.
New Year’s Day
Around the World
By MISS ABBIE CONDIT
National Recreation Association.
A New Year’s party based on the
customs of other countries will pro-
vide an appropriate theme for your
celebration this year. Send out in-
vitations decorated with an hour
glass or the Old and New Year, in-
viting the guests to come in the cos-
tume of some country. Ask each to
bring a “white elephant” possession,
securely wrapped, for as tradition
has it in Scotland, a package in the
hand of the guest insures the host a
bounteous year. (These gifts will be
exchanged later in the evening as
one of the party activities.)
Colorful decorations are in order
for the party. In the Orient, dark
green pine branches and light green
bamboo stalks are hung on the gate
posts, and tangerines and tangerine-
like fruits are indicative of long life
and happiness. Bright red lobsters
and crabs are hung over doorways.
In China on New Year’s day ev-
eryone puts on brand new clothes
and goes visiting; so at our party
there may be a grand march with
judges, of course, to award prizes
for the prettiest, funniest, and most
unique eostumes.
'May Joy Be Your*.’
At the end of the march each per-
son i* given a card and a penciL On
sign,al each tries to obtain as many
signatures as he can. He approaches
someone, bows in Chinese fashion,
saying “Kung Hi, Kung Hi” (I hum-
bly wish you joy); and the other
replies “Sin Hi, Sin Hi” (May joy
be yours). Then each writes down
the other’s name. At the end of
five minutes the person with the
largest number of names receives a
trivial award.
In Belgium we hear of a “Sugar
Uncle,” a “Sugar Aunt.” All the
keys disappear from the inside doors
* in the houses before New Year’s
Day. Then, when an unsuspecting
aunt or uncle goes into a room alone,
the children rush to lock the doors
on the outside and do not permit the
aunt or uncle to come out until he
or she has promised ransom with
which the children will buy sugar
plums and candy. Divide the group
into a number of circles with 10 to
20 players in each. A leader is given
a key or a bunch of keys. He walks
around the group nodding at players
who fall in line behind him. When
about half the members of the circle
are trailing along, he drops the key
and all dash to find places. The one
left out pays “ransom” by being
“it.”
‘First Footer’ Relay.
The circles may be easily straight-
ened out into file formation for a
“First Footer” relay. In Scotland it
is considered good luck to be the
first to step into a house after mid-
night, so there is a mad dash from
house to house after the stroke of
12. Each team is a would-be “first
footer.” The leader counts to 12
and on “12” the first member of
each team dashes to a goal and
back, touching off the next player.
The first team finished is the lucky
one and receives a prize of cookies
or tiny cakes, as was the custom.
Boys and girls of Russia have a
rather strange custom. On New
Year’s Day they go about throwing
peas and wheat at passers-by. The
peas are thrown at enemies, while
the lighter wheat is reserved for
friends. Wheat grains are too small
to handle conveniently, so give ev-
eryone eight or ten beans of one
kind and eight or ten of another
kind. Do not designate which is
“enemy” or “friend.” Guests are
to trade beans with one another and
at the end of five minutes the one
with the fewest enemies and the
most friends is given a prize.
In France the children used to
leave their wooden shoes out at
Christmas time for presents, but the
adults exchange gifts at New Year’s
time. In accordance with this cus-
tom the “white elephants” may be
brought out and distributed in any
manner you like—by drawing or in
grab bag style. All the presents
should be opened on the spot as an
appropriate climax to the party.
