Boars’ heads with apples in their mouths, gilded peacocks and sweetmeats were set before medieval kings. Australian early settlers tried to English plum pudding under the sizzling summer sun, along with braised kangaroo. Fried locusts and smoked elephant graced the table of an African adventurer, and one party during the 1870 siege of Paris, dined off roast cat. It’s plain to see that down through the ages, Christmas dinner was planned through a strong determination to feast on something “special." Christinas can be time of sharing for children Children can easily learn to think of sharing with others rather than always thinking of •getting" for themselves. Help them plan what gift they will get for whom. Small children get distracted when they go shopping with the masses of things from which to choose Looking through store flyers ahead of shopping helps children to pick out something they might like to get for daddy or a brother or sister without a multitude of distractions. Legend of the Wassail bowl As one raise the cup of kindness of Christmas or New Year’s Day, keep in mind "this is a continuing tradition which dates back hundreds of year. According to legend, the wassail bowl and the Christmas toat started with the same gesture. At the reception for an early Germanic chieftain in Britain, the daughter of the chieftain offered a gold cup filled with wine to the host and said, "Waes hael hlaford Cyning" or “Be of health. Lord King."

Space travel updated for rotary

The Syracuse-Wawasee Rotary - Club received a taste of space travel when Robert Knudsen spoke to them Tuesday noon. Knudsen is a consultant in space technology having recently retired from the DuPont Company. Knudsen showed slides of earth and of the many planets and the sun, which have been taken from space and with large telescopes on earth. As he talked he showed slides of Mercury, Saturn, Venus and other planets explaining the vast distances they are from earth.

Plans are on the table now for a plane which will be able to fly from Dulles Airport, Washington, D C. to Tokyo, Japan, in about 2‘ ? hours or from Chicago to Singapore in two hours.
