SOMETHING OF OR|C|N
OF "GR0UNOHOG" Gay
How II First Came To Be
Observed In Early
History.

How many of us know why Feb
ruary 2 Is called Grounding Day?
For the benefit of those who do
not know let us go back to February
2 of very early unknown year in
Christian history. This was Candle
mas Day. and on this date a festival
was held in commemoration of the
publication of the Virgin Mary. This
day is still a holiday in the Church
of England. 60
Candlemas Day is derived from
the ceremony which the Church of
Rome dictates to be observed on
this day, namely, blessing of can
dies by the clergy, and distribution
of them among the people, by whom
they are afterward carried, lighted,
in solemn procession.
AS this was considered a very inn
6ortant date for so many ages, a uni
versal superstition crept in through
out Christendom that good weather
on this day indicated a long contin-
uance of winter and a bad crop,
while foul day would mean an ear
ly spring and good crops.
Then in the early times of our
great country the settlers more
closely observed the life and habits
of the wild animals than at the pres
ent time. and these people got in
terested in the grounding, or wood
chuck.
+ Woodchuck is it's proper name,
and 1t is from Is to Is inches long
with a thick and clumsy form, short
legs and thick tail. From its bur-
rowing habits it gets its name of
grounding. Its holes are dug deep
in the fields or side-of~ hills, in q
slanting direction, and with more
than one entrance. 1t passes the
winter in its burrow in lethargic
state, and then the old-time people
observed that when 1t came out OF
its hole on February 2, or Candle
mas Day, and say its shadow, 1t
would return and stay there six
weeks longer, thus meaning that
there would be six weeks more OF
winter weather; but IL it came out
and did not see it's shadow, an early
spring was predicted.
