As 1969 draws to a Close and 1970 is hard upon its heels, the tollowing “Recipe” and
10 Things to Take Time for” have been dug out of es aa Asbestos Sheet files for
our perusal and thought.

The “Recipe” is one that Kris Nordin first shared with our readers in 1967. Since
this issue also bids farewell to Kris, it is most fitting that this be a sort of farewell
from Kris to our readers.

RECIPE FOR 1970

Mark the ingredients of 1970 carefully and use them wisely. Take 12 fine, full-grown
months. See that these are free from old memories of bitterness, hate and jealousy,
Cleanse them of every clinging spite; pick off all specks of pettiness and littleness; in
short, see that these months are freed from all the past — have them as fresh and
clean as when they first came for the great storehouse of Time. .

Cut these months into 31 equal parts. This batch will keep for just one year. Do not
attempt to make up the whole batch at one time (so many spoil the entire lot in this
way) but prepare one day at a time as follows:

Into each day put 12 parts of faith, 11 of patience, 10 of courage, 9 of work, 8 of
hope, 7 of fidelity, 6 of liberality, 5 of kindness, 4 of rest (leaving this out is like
leaving the oil out of the salad — don’t do it), 3 of prayer, 2 of meditation and 1 well-
selected resolution.

If you have no conscientious scruples, put in about a teaspoonful of good spirits, a
dash of fun, a pinch of folly, a sprinkling of play and a heaping cup of good humour.

Pour into the whole love ad libitum, and mix with vim. Cook thoroughly in a fervent
heat, garnish with a few smiles and a sprig of joy; then serve with quietness, unselfish-
ness and cheerfulness, and a Happy New Year is a certainty !

Thank you so much Kris, and a Wonderful Christmas Season to you.
