JANUARY, START
AFRESH MONTH
Among the many other
things that happen about
now is that we look back over
the year - we think about the
mistakes we made - the fun
we had • and we evaluate the
progress we made. And then
we look ahead to a new year,
and we promise ouselves to
sail through it without up
setting our personal ships.
Perhaps we decide to follow
the advice of one of our
friends and make it the year
we enter our own personal
sweepstakes. Or we decide to
read all the books and ar
ticles we didn’t read last
year. Also we might pledge
ouselves to do one kind and
thoughtful out-of-your-way
thing each day. Then, too, we
set down certain resolutions
we hopefully plan to carry
out during the year. And
some of these resolutions
could ' range from the
ridiculous to the sublime.
But at any rate, we’ve made
them.
January has a certain
beauty about it - I like to
think of it as start afresh
month. It’s a month with all
the freshness of the dew on a
rose - the joyousness of
launching an exciting new
chapter in our lives. It’s a
challenge - this month of
January of a new year. It’s a
challenge to correctly
evaluate ourselves as we
were last year - to plot a
more useful and happier
year - and to lay the foun
dation for successful and
satisfying years to come.
Let’s think of January as the
vital month that begins a
new year - then ask our
selves “what are we going to
do about it.”

You Heard?
By Doris Thomas
you probably know it costs
more than regular foods. A
recent study by the United
States Department of
Agriculture shows that
organic foods continue to
cost one and one third to one
and two thirds times as
much as regular foods.
So-called organic foods,
though more expensive, are
not necessarily more
nutritious, and the buyer has
no assurance that they were
actually organically grown
and processed.
To check the cost dif
ferences, the USDA
economists shopped for 33
foods in two natural food
stores and for 33 similar
regular foods in a super
market. They found that the
33 foods cost $2B m one
natural food store and $24.02
in another - a co-op. But, a
similar basket of regular,
non-organic food cost only
$17.49 at a supermarket.
Here are some price
examples; chicken labeled
organic cost up to three
times as much as a plain
ordinary chicken.
“Organic” onions cost
almost three and a half times
as much as regular onions.
Tomatoes labeled “organic”
cost up to twice as much as
regular tomatoes.
Since there was a
significant price difference
between a large natural food
store and a cooperatively
owned organic food store,
you need to shop around and
compare. But, the resear
chers found that organic
labeled fresh brussels
sprouts cost one-third less
than regular brussels
sprouts. And organic-labeled
uncooked wheat cereal also
cost about one-third less than
regular wheat cereal.

The lecturer, Linda
Rentschler, reported that at
the first meeting, the
program will have a New
Year’s theme. That meeting
is to be held on January 5,
1977. The second meeting on
January 19 will be an awards
night.
All who are interested in a
picture taken at the
Grange’s Labor Day outing
should get in touch with
Mary Sonon as soon as
possible.
