New Year Seen as Opportunity

War Rotioning to Present Problems;

Undoubtedly, that will be her lob,

genuity and earnestness of the wom-

lieve they will accomplish Just that.
And speaking of the home front,
the mother has another job equally
important to that of providing ade-

OF guiding the young people in her
family in the right direction; of i'm
pressing on them their personal re-
sponsibllity as regards their own
mode of conduct; of instilling IN
them SO deeply and surely that it
will never be obliterated the fact
that the future of our country de-
pends on their integrity. their pa
triotism, their personal worthiness,
just as much, if not more, than it is
dependent on the same qualities in
the adults who are now guiding its
destiny.
Such a citizenry cannot be de-
veloped unless parents-mothers es-
pecially-provide the security to be
found only in traditional American
home life. where the family is knit
together by the ties of love, respect,
interdependence, personal RESPONSE
bility and mutual understanding.
These things lie before us in this

have faith to believe we women OF

Ry MRS. P. C. ELLETT.

President District of Columbia Congress Of
Parents and Teachers.
Now that the holidays are behind
us, the new year is opened before
us as a great adventure. Never be-
fore in our lifetime has year
dawned so portentious as this one.
When we stop to think what it
may bring-of opportunity, of hard
ship, of self-denial, or. please God,
of peace-We are breathless.
We feel, almost, as if we are at
the door of something great, un-
known and unexplored, and we are
hesitant to open that door, fearful
lest it prove an unpleasant surprise.
But behind all these misgivings,
faith still holds its burning torch,
and We know, beyond all reasonable
doubt, if we keep that torch alight,
that we shall .ome through the year
triumphantly stronger in spirit,
steadier in purpose and more willing
to extend the helping hand wher-
ever it may be needed.
Housewives, such as most men,
bers of the PTA are, will be called
on more and more to man the
home front" Already, we have been
told positively that many food items
will be rationed before another
month is past, and from food we
shall undoubtedly proceed to cloth
ing. Heat, so far as that provided
by oil is concerned, is of course, al
ready rationed.
Must Guard Health.
1t will be for the housewife to see
that this rationing program does
not upset the health of her family.
1t will be her task to provide ade-
quate substitutes for the common
foods, which we as Americans have
come to regard as necessary articles
Of diet, but which, we are now as
sured, will be available in smaller
quantities than those to which We
have become accustomed.
To the mother in the home will
fall the responsibility Of keeping
even and pleasant the dispositions
of the various members of her fam
lily, when accustomed patterns of
meals must be changed, and soy
beans substituted for steak, perhaps
OF course, each person should ac-
cept these necessary restrictions
with fortitude and with agreeable
compliance, but I'm afraid that is
almost impossible of realization.
Mother has always had the shap.
ing of the family's food habits; tt
her they have always looked for ap,
petizing meals, for properly balanced
menus and she will again he facec
with this chore, but in differen
guise 1t will not be easy to convince
Junior that he should eat his oat
meal without sugar and cream, o
to fool Daddy into thinking th'
meat loaf at dinner time is composed
of beef, when in reality the chic
ingredients are soybeans and pea
| nuts.
