First Footer
The first person to cross the threshold in the new year, the
“first footer,” will bring either good or bad luck into the
house for the year. Although this custom is known in coun
tries from Ireland to China, it is particularly well-observed in
Scotland and parts of England. Generally a tall, dark male
brings the best luck, but m some regions fair men (especially
redheads) are preferred. Regardless of his looks, the visitor
must never, ever arrive empty-handed. Traditional gifts are a
piece of coal for the fire, a loaf of bread,
and a glass of whiskey for the master of
the house.
Let us th ’ important now employ,
AnJ live as those who never Jie.

Since January 2 marks the
20th anniversary of the 55
mph highway speed limit,
it’s a good time to reflect on
our crude oil consumption,
both private and national.
Although the “energy crisis”
is considered to be over, in
fact it will never be over since
fossil fuels are nonrenewable.
As we stand at the threshold
of another new year, continu
ing our inexorable march to
the next century, we must £
seriously consider our
alternatives. We’ll be J.’
looking at some of those
in the next few weeks.
