Holiday is favorite theme for writers Whenever the talk turns to Christmas books and stories, somebody’s sure to mention Charles Dickens. His "Christmas Carol,” published in 1843, is synonymous with holiday conviviality, and its underlying theme stresses the spiritual truths and blessings of the Nativity. "God bless us, every one,” cried Tiny Tim Cratchit, and the cry still echoes. While Dickens may be a word for Christmas, many another author has written of this religious festival and merry feast. Among the best known examples may be scenes from children’s literature. Louisa May Alcott’s "Little Women,” published 1868, may seem old-fashioned in some ways, but girls today still rejoice in the story of Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy. These fictional heroines come to life for their readers, and never more so than in the Christmas-season story that opens the book, when the March family gave up a festive breakfast for a poor family. While they breakfasted on bread and milk, the girls felt they truly feasted, for they knew the joy of sharing. Another old favorite is Kate Douglas Wiggin’s "The Birds’ Christmas Carol,” of 1887.

Soap and no-phosphate

By ANN HANCOOK Area Extension Agent In hard water areas like Indiana, soap and no-phosphate detergents do not measure up to what homemakers have come to accept as standard from her washday product. Extension homemakers all over the state were questioned on their use and success of soaps and nophosphate detergents. The results of this survey are still being tabulated but thus far they have found that most women have not tried a no-phosphate detergent, few homemakers have had success with soaps or no phosphate detergents and many women do not feel there is an urgency to try them. The Indiana State Legislature has taken a hard stand on phosphated detergent. The present status of public law 174 is a total ban of phosphate laundry detergent use by January 1,1973. The Indiana Stream Pollution Control Board is considering a delay to allow wholesalers and retailers to dispose of stock still on hand at the end of this year. Phosphated dishwasher detergents are to be banned April 30,1973. At the present time there are no replacements available for dishwasher use. One of the chief benefits of phosphates in laundry detergents is handling hard water problems. Many Indiana women who have tried no phosphate detergents have returned to the phosphated type because of this hard water problem. Soaps and no-phosphate detergents left their clothes grey and did not remove spots effectively and left a residue in the washer. The results of the extension homemaker survey suggest that few women will be satisfied with their laundry results when the phosphate detergents they are accustomed to are no longer available. Better laundry practices such as proper sorting, not allowing stains to set, hotter water and more laundry aids will be needed. All of us recognize the necessity for pollution control and the Indiana State Legislature passed public law 174 in hopes of partially solving our pollution problem. If you feel strongly about public law 174, contact your state legislators. As a homemaker, this bill will affect you most. Cranberry-Nut Bread 3 cups sifted all-purpose flour, 3
