AB-Lancaster Farming, Saturday, January 13, 2001 * A Good Day for Boys According to the old almanacs, January 20 was consid ered a particularly good day for the birth of boys. The eighth-century Greek poet and philosopher Hesiod, in his instructive “Works and Days,” named each day as lucky or unlucky for cer- . tain events, including birthing, ship- Jb building, and shearing sheep. A boy born on January 20 claims Capricorn as his astrological sign, with its charac- * f [ensues of resiliency and big-hearted ness. Numerology gives him the num ber 2 (2 plus 0) for imagination. Ruled -—^— by the Moon, these boys may be more influenced by their feelings than by their thoughts if you live to the age of a hundred, you have it made, because very few people die past the age of a hundred. 13° To keep cookies moist, add a slice of fresh fruit or bread to the cookie jar.
