I'd love to know if the umbrellas were practical or symbolic.

Happy Memorial Day 2023!
WHAT are you going to do on Decoration day? Where are you going? To the ball game? Fishing? Are you going to play tennis or go on a long excursion to spend the day away from home? Do you want to go to the park and sail your boat on the little lake? Will you tie a flag to your handlebars and take a ride on your bicycle with your friend Tom? Or are you one of the many who understand that the day is set apart in memory of gallant heroes and is a holiday in their honor? Will you take your place with the many on the line of march in respect to the few remaining heroes who will parade before you? Are you one of those who will look to the wants and comforts of the feeble, who need your protection? Help make the day memorial. With a brush or bit of cotton wound on a toothpick and plain water, paint between the lines; the decoration will then appear in appropriate color. EDITOR'S NOTE.—Read the pages of the entire book before painting or making the cut-outs. Rinse the brush often to prevent colors running together.

National Use-Up-Your-Leftovers-In-A-Jell-O-Salad Week
This ad ran in the May 11, 1959 issue of Life magazine. So assuming that it's the week of May 11 as you read this (which it is as I post it), then I'm sure you'll want to celebrate the week by tossing whatever leftovers you might have (half a burrito, a few slices of pizza) into some jello and serving it up for dinner.
