The column blends light witticisms about post Christmas life with social commentary. It notes weight gain trends, family kitchen duties after Christmas, and holidays extending from seasonal timing. It cites regulatory efforts and costs, a Washington carpet purchase, and a humor about Carter’s Poland stop. It ends by hinting at 1978 as the year of the horse amid energy concerns.
Letters discuss combining bland and high protein diets, noting bland means low irritants and that high protein can fit with bland. Advice urges clear definitions with doctors before changing diets, plus calcium misinformation on charley horses and guidance for a young reader on stopping nail biting with willpower and stress context.
The Hornbeck column mocks Dr. Hoffman and offers a spoof theory of self esteem through resolutions that require no effort to keep. The dialogue with Herald editor Terry Ostmeyer reveals a cynical scheme: declare you will continue doing what you already do to avoid self-reproach and still claim victory if you later quit.
Roderick Turnbull discusses parity in farming and its varied meanings among seven Missouri farmers. A separate AP report covers President Carter naming G William Miller to head the Federal Reserve, with expectations he may shift focus from inflation to other goals.
The article explains parity as an index used in farm price support programs since 1933. It covers origins in 1910 14, revisions to reflect ten year averages, and how parity signals when farm prices are too low. It notes parity does not measure costs or farmer living standards and cites examples from corn and wheat pricing.
