"APRIL FOOL" DAY WAS
ONCE NEW YEARS DAY

The fact that April once had SO
days and the first month in the year
is the best explanation for the GUS
tom of observing what is known as
april Fools Day."
It was the custom to make visits
to and from on the first day of April
Just as New Years day is so re-
cognized in many parts of the world.
When the calendar was changed in
1854 the custom arose of making
mock visits and from this the GUS
tom of sending people on fruitless er-
rands was evolved.
The custom took root in many diff
ferent countries and has taken diff
ferent names and forms but it all
started from this change in date.

II the bugles blare on the springtir1e air
And the guns start booming heavily:
If the big bombs break and the buildings
shake
And the tramp tramp, tramp grows
steadily,
Will you come to me, that my eyes may
see
The patriot fire in the souls you bear?
Will you charm my ears with your loyal
cheers
And glad my eyes with the smiles you
wear?
Would I might know that each mothers 8
woe,
Her srief at war, was a bygone thing!
Would might see in her loyalty
That her haunting sorrow had taken
wing!
For when warfares wage-when the steel
fires rage
'Tis woman's heart that must feed the
flame!
AS a mother gives, so a soldier lives
She may bless with valor or curse visn
shame!
II the bugles blow, would might know
That no coward fear 1 will ever see!
With your steadfast will my own veins
would thrill
And naught could hinder our victory!
