SupersfitiOns,
Traditions Mark
New Year Scene

Traditions and superstitions have
long been part of the New Year
scene around the world.
The Chinese believe one must
pay up all their debts il the New
Year is to be successful one. The
English, on the other hand. consid-
er it good idea to start savings
account on January /. since what
you do on the New Years Day is
indicative of what you will do the
rest Of the year.
One of the most widespread SUI
perstitions concerns the "first-foot-
er," the first person to enter a
household on New Years morning,
In early days, women and light
haired men were considered "un-
lucky" frst-footers.
Ancient custom in Japan was to
scatter parched beans about the
house, supposedly driving away
evil influences and inviting good
luck to enter.
The Romans were accustomed to
hanging tiny masks of Bacchus up
on trees and vines, the idea being
to impart fertility to every side Of
the tree to which the masks were
turned by the wind.
Peasant families in various parts
Of the world once baked special
cakes for the New Year. The cake
was dashed against the door and
as the family members gathered
up the pieces to eat them they
prayed that neither hunger nor
want should enter the house during
the new year.
In olden times some families al
so sought a glimpse into the New
Year by dipping" into the Bible.
The head of the family, with his
eyes closed, opened the family
Bible and indicated a passage with
his finger. The text, read and inter-
preted was supposed to be indica-
tive of the luck-good or bad--that
would be in store during the twelve
months ahead.

Party Cheese Ball
For Your Guests

So you're trying to decide what to
serve as an appetizer at your next
party? How about cheese = three
kinds, that is, blended together and
shaped into ball?
just mix together creamy sharp
spread with the aged cheddar and
piquant blue cheese. And little graf
ed onion added. This intriguing flaw.
ored cheese ball is sure to please your
guests.
For gala touch, garnish the
whole cheese ball with finely chopped
parsley or toasted slivered almonds.
In case you like to use both, then
make two balls instead of one and use
parsley on one and almonds on the
other.
Then circle with stuffed and ripe
olives, crisp assorted crackers. Just
watch the activity center around this
appetizer tray.
And for another suggestion for
your party = mulled cranberry punch
would be perfect with the cheese ball.

CHICAGO. Aug. Is tP.-Gov.
Frank Lausche Of Ohio said to-
day he may be fayorite son
candidate for the Democratic
Presidential nomination, but did
not indicate whether such a
move would offer a serious chal-
.lenge to Adlai E. Stevenson and
Iother potential contenders.
Lausche. serving a fifth term
as Governor of Ohio, said in an
interview before departing for
home from the 47th annual Gov
ernor's Conference that he has
made no decision on a possible
Senate race next year.
But he added:
Il may be favorite son can
didate in Ohio"
Gov. Lausche, SO and a Cath

possible Presidential aspirant.

gestions.

are opposed to the denomination
lof Mr.. Stevenson would look with
favor on Gov. Lausche as a can
Ididate for the nomination.
Suggested by Holland
Some other Democrats. includ-
ing Senator Holland Of Florida,
recently have made similar sug-
gestions.
Gov. Lausche declined COM
Iment on these proposals. He
made it plain he thinks Steven
son now is the strongest candi-
date.
Gov. Stevenson's statement
this week that he will announce
his intentions in November-a
move generally interpreted here
as indicating he will seek the
nomination actively--drew no
comment from the Ohioan other
than "Adlai Stevenson is a good
man"
If Gov. Lausche heads Ohio's

gates as a favorite son next

about the outcome, since Ohio

Can Firms Sign With Clio
For One-Yeor Loyoff Pay

NEW YORK, Aug. Is P.-
The CLIO United Steelworkers OF
America today agreed on a two
year contract with the American
Can Co. and the Continental Can
Co. providing a layoff pay plan
that extends for a full year.
The contract, reached in quiet
negotiations six weeks before the
old contract expires, also provides
an average 13-cents an hour
wage increase for the $4,000
workers involved.
The total cost of the package.
including the layoff pay plan,
improved pensions and other
benefits. is 211a cents an hour.
Under the old contract. wages
at American Can ranged from
.$1.70 to $2.45 an hour. Contin-
entail wages were slightly higher.
Mcdonald Pleased
"If I may be so bold for a
moment as to brag," said Union
President David J. Mcdonald.
nothing like this has been
achieved before in American
industry negotiations"
The first layoff- pay plans were
negotiated by Walter Reuther's
CLIO United Automobile Workers
this year with Ford and Gen
eral Motors.
They were similar to the new
steelworkers' contract, but the
coverage period for laid-off
workers extended for a maximum
Of Is weeks.
The can company contract
provides for So full weeks.
Like the JAW agreements, the
can contracts provide for pay
ments to laid-off workers of
about IS per cent of their nor
NAL wages.
These payments are made up
of company contributions, plus
State unemployment benefits.
Special Fund Planned
They are financed from a spe-
cial fund. into which the COM
pany pays 5 cents an hour per
