New Remedy for
Screw Worms
Screw worms are beginning to
be a problem and so it might he
wise for you to get some of the
new screw worm remedy devel-
oped by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture entomo-
logists, says the Lamar County
agent.
He recommends F.Q-335 as the
new remedy It contains lindane
and pine oil and kills maggots
deep in infected tissues as well
as newly hatched worms and may
also kill flies attracted, to the
wounds. It will give protection
for about seven days. In spine
cases that are bad. the process
should be repeated in three to
four days.
American historians credit George
Washington with starting the custom
of receiving friends, or holding
“open house" on New Year’s day.
In the year 1790 New York was
the seat of the government and
President Washington made a prac-
tice of opening the doors of the
presidential mansion for a reception
on each New Year's day. Home and
foreign diplomats, and ordinary citi-
zens as well, visited.
Washington was said to have ex-
pressed the hope that the observ-
ance might continue through the
years. His wish was granted, for it
is still a custom at the White House.
Old Irish Celebration
Was 'Baking the Cake'
Bogata Activities
10 Tears Ago
T—
Old Erin had one of the most
unusual New Year's day celebra-
tions to be found anywhere. Called
baking the cake", it was a favorite
with Irish peasants.
Proud husbands would invite all
their friends over to participate in
the ceremony and partake of the
"gude woman’s baking.”
When the cake was fully prepared,
the eldest son took it and hurled it
with all his force agritist the.door
Everyone scrambled to pick up the
pieces, for, according to the super-
stition, he who picked up the first
fragment to touch the fleer would
have a home and a New Year's
cake to share the next yc.,r.

Feasting has always been an im-
portant part of the celebration of
New Year's and menus differ
around the world.
The New Year's Day banquet in
England and Western Europe Is
similiar to our American feast,
chief difference being in the choice
of side dishes. Turkey, duck or
goose makes the populat roast in
England, with plum pudding top-
ping off the meal.
Turkey is again found in France,
although capon and pheasant are
as popular. The holiday fowls of the
Latin countries are bedecked with
truffles, chestnuts and olives and
one might find snails on a menu in
France.
An important dish among the
Spaniards is sopa, rice cooked with
| olive oil, tomatoes, vegetables and
I meat particles. Africans partake of
| cous-cous, which is composed of
| wheat grains, lamb and vegetables
Pickled greens, raw fish, roast
bird and shrimp fritters are head-
\ liners among the Japanese, with
| pickled chrysanthemum petals con-.
1 sidered a delicacy. The Swedes-
! temper their fehst with a special
I drink called glogg, which is a claret
wine sweetened with sugar and
I flavored with almonds, raisins,
dried orange peel, cinnamon, cloves |
j and cardamon. It is usually set afire
; before serving.
Long before history was recorded
the Persians discovered sugar Cane
and made sweetmeats’ an impor-
tant part of their New Year celebra-
tion. These pagan Persians also
made human sacrifices on the eve
of the New Year in the belief that
their barren fields would be ferti-
lized by the gods.
It. ancient China it was a custom
to make visits shortly after the New
Year had begun. Hilarity reigned
supreme in old India and Babylon,
where celebration of the first day of
a New Year was a very wild affair.
The superstitious people believed
that during their frolicsome celebra-
tions the pagan gods were asleep,
else conveniently away from home.
The Japanese always used holly
for decorations at New Year’s. It is
an old belief that "the prick of the
thori.s on the leaves would scare
away devils.” The emperor's first
bath, Hatsumizy, taken early New
Year morning, was called a "reli-
gious rite of cleansing and purifica-
tion performed by the ruler to bring
peace and prosperity to Japan and
his people.”
Smart children in Belgium gather
keys to every room in the house on
New' Year's eve, and then lock the
elders in their rooms on New Year’s
morning, refusing to release them
until promised a portion of sweets.

Old Romans Offered
Gifts to God Janus

NEW FAITH,
NEW COURAGE-
MAY IT COME
TO YOU
IN ABUNDANCE
The word January comes from the
Latin word “Janus”. Janus was a
god to whom the Romans offered
sacrifices at the start of a new year
to insure prosperity and good health
for the days ahead. Strenia, goddess
of strength, was also honored on the
first day.
As early as 747 D.C., the Romans
gathered gifts of bay and palm for
New Year presents. As the years
passed and Rome prospered, the
gifts became more elaborate year-
ly, and, in time, it became the cus-
tom to bestow them upon the em-
peror, a habit that contributed
greatly to the wealth of the Caesars.
Claudius, recognizing the fact that
the giving had graduated through
the years from a voluntary tribute
to a regarded duty, issued a decree
limiting the amount which might be
given.
Rome continued to celebrate the
New Year under the Christian em-
perors. The Idolatrous rites of the
people, however, caused the church
to ban Christians from participating
in the celebrations, and it was not
until December 25 was legally fixed
as the date of the Nativity that the
church made January 1 a religious
festival. In commemoration of the
Week of December 26, 1941
