There is we easy resolution, for no resolution is worth the making unless if torrects a fault or curbs a bad habit. Something must be sacrtficed if a resolsetion it to be worthwhile. The cbigf reason most resolutions are never kept is because they were impractical to begin with.

Feasting Important To World Observance 01 New Year Feasting is as important a part of a New Year celebration as of Thanksgiving, with a good meal on the first day of the y;ear symbolizing that there will be plenty throughout the days ahead. \ The New Year’s day banquet differs as one travels around the world. An important dish among the Spaniards is sopa, rice cooked with olive oil, tomatoes, vegetables and meat particles. Africans partake of cous-cous. which is composed of wheat grains, lamb and vegetables. Pickled greens, raw Ash. roast bird and shrimp fritters are menu headliners in Japan, with pickled mum petals considered a special delicacy. The Swedes temperlheir feasts with a special drink, called glogg which Is a claret wine sweetened with sugar and Savored with almonds, raisins, dried orange peel, cinnamon, cloves and cardamon. It is usually set afire before serving. Feasts in England and Western Europe are similar to our American menus, chief difference being in the choice of side dishes. Turkey. duck or goose make the popular roast in England and in France. Latin countries bedeck their holiday fowl with truffles, chestnuts and olives and one might find snails on the menu in France. ROSE BOWL ~ The fabulous Rose Bow! game started out as a supplement to the Tournament of Roses when the first east-west game was played on January 1, 1902. Michigan beat Stanford, 49-0.
