HOW NEW YEARS
is CELEBRATED
Method of Celebrating First Day of
Year is Different in Other
Countries

What are You really celebrating,
when you keep New Years Day a
holiday? The custom dates back to
the very dawn of civilization, for
nearly all peoples of the earth have
celebrated the coming of new year.
The time, however, has varied widely,
sometimes being at the autumnal
equinox, about September 81, and
sometimes as late as Midsummer's
day, June %.
A trip around the world, if we
could arrive in each country on New
Years day, would reveal an aston
ishing difference in customs. In China
you would think all the national holi-
days were rolled into one, for the
shops are closed for several days,
and there are merry feasts, much
fireworks, and general exchange Of
gifts and good wishes. A practice
that might well be transplanted from
China is the custom of paying every
debt before the old year closes, ev-
cry house must be swept, cleaned and
decorated, and every person be furn-
ished with holiday clothes and sup
ply of preserved fruits, candies, and
ornamental packages of tea to give
his acquaintance.
In Japan the New Year festival is
even gayer. No matter how poor one
is, shining new clothes must be pro-
vided, and three days are taken off
from work to visit friends or enter
tain them at his home. Every gate.
post is adorned with dark green pines
and feathery light green bamboos,
while over the doors hang bright red
Holsters and crabs, and scarlet fruits
something like our tangerines, which
symbolic long life and happiness.
Elsewhere in the Orient, too, the
New Years coming is celebrated
with festivals much like our Christ.
mas. In some parts of Europe, es.
pecially in France and Scotland, the
New Year is more important holi-
day than Christmas. A French peas
ant child puts its sabot (wooden shoe)
on the hearth for gift at Christmas,
but the grown folk exchange their
gifts at New Years, when there are
family parties with much merriment
and general exchanges of visits.
Nowhere else is the Scotch heart
mess of celebration Of New Years
surpassed. There is an old tradition
that if one is first foot" in house
after the new year comes in, one will
be lucky the whole year through. This
brings throngs of jewellers out into
the streets at midnight, all looking
for chance to put foot over some
body's door sill after the clock strikes
twelve before anyone else has done

Happy New Year---'25!
James Edward Hungerford

TIME to turn the old page over,
And begin brand new year;
Futures bright, and we're Gin clover"
Lucky, friends, that we are HERE!
Life is short, and time is fleeing"
So famous poet said;
Here's better, brighter greeting
Life is LONG-just forge ahead!
Leave the old dead past" behind you;
Put aside the stress and strife;
Don't let woes and worries bind you
Take fresh, new grip on life!
Danish riles and frets and troubles;
Gust the shadows from your heart;
Let them fade away like bubbles -
SMILE-and take whirlwind start! :
Prove yourself red-blooded fighter!
Chase old demon Gloom away!
Sun was never shining brighter,
Than it is this blessed day!
Darksome clouds may drift before it,
And obscure it from your view,
But no clouds can ever floor 1T
Old SoPs light will soon break thru!
Look with HOPE unto tomorrow"
Do your level BEST, today;
Rout the past, and Danish sorrow
GRIN-and clear the right-o'-way!
Life is smiling on you brightly;
70 uwere made to live and thrive;
''Play the game !and play it rightly,
And you'll WIN-in '25.

WALKERS F[OUT
STOP SIGNALS

Reasonable enforcement" Of the
regulation prohibiting pedestrians
from crossing at corners against
stop signals, will get the best
results and ultimate cooperation OF
the public Major Edwin B. Hesse,
superintendent Of police, said today.
"If pedestrians wilfully violate
the regulation it will be necessary
TO take a few Of them into court
and assess fines" declared Major
Hesse, that Is providing that the
courts uphold the regulation"
Traffic Director M. o. Eldridge
said that now that the Today
educational period has come to an
end it Is time for the police to
take action against violators OF the
pedestrian control law.
The presence OF policemen at the
CT ossings has only temporarily de-
TERED walkers from disobeying the
signals, according to Eldridge. The
day after they were removed from
a point the pedestrians disre-
garded previous warnings and
plunged against the flow of traffic.
