By Doris Thomas, Extension Home Economist At the beginning of each new year, people make resolutions .. . lots of them. I’m sure you made some . . I did, but just like everyone else, I’ll break them before the end of the year. But looking ahead at a new year is like being given a clean slate and a new piece of chalk All at once it seems possible to start again with our best foot forward. There’s something else about the new year . . . at the beginning of it we think over our worst failings, jot them down, determined to do something about them Surely, this year we’ll be kinder to people We don’t postpone a 30b when we have it to do . . . and we’ll try each day to do as much as possible. What’s more, we write our resolutions where we can see them and read them Middlegreen Our next step is to carry them, out We start off with high hopes . . . and the first two or three days we manage to do some of them.

The year doesn’t seem quite so new and shiny Things and people from the previous year keep cropping up to inter fere with our best resolutions. After all, we decide this year is just a continuation of the one before it . . . and we start to settle down into our old ways. But why make resolutions? Maybe it’s a silly idea when we know all too well how soon we’ll break them. _ But maybe it’s a good thing to set down our highest resolves once a year. It’s so easy to go along day after day, excusing our failings, telling ourselves that they’re only small fault’s. It takes a special occasion lik% the brink of a new year to make us stop and think. Perhaps we carry our resolu tions for only a day or two . . • or perhaps only for a few hours. Yet, who can say how often they influence us through the year from the hidden places of our minds. Writing out our re solutions may help to make 1971 the year of our better selves. Tips On Shopping At Sales This is the time of the year (Continued on Page 23) Plug it in and forget it...
