Use of Gregorian Calendar

Britain was neither first nor last
to adopt the Gregorian calendar.
The modern calendar was promul-
gated by Pope Gregory XIII in 1882
and adopted at once by Spain, Por.
tugal and part of Italy, the remain
der of the Catholic world soon fol-
lowing. Great Britain adopted the
new style in 1852 and Sweden and
Tuscany about the same time. But
Russia chung to the Julian calendar

the Greek church did not give it ur

Descendants of Morgan

On the island of Jamaica lives a
family named Morgan. It is more
a tribe or clan than a family, but
the members are all related. Every
one of them is descended from Sir
Henry Morgan, the notorious bucca-
neer. The curious thing about this
group is that while Sir Henry was
an Englishman, and while an as
tonishing number of these multi
great-grandchildren of his have the
features of his portraits, they are
black people.

The cat least three illusions which
they BASED their oratorical attack on

Will America
Fight Again?

Should America stay out OF TINS
ware Public opinion seems to have
reached curious paradox. The aver
age man on the street will tell you
that we should allow nothing to drag
US into the conflict overseas. He will
point out the horrible effects Ct war
on a nation. Without doubt he Will
point to the lesson we learned from
oLr entrance into the last war. After
he has summed all this up, ask him
if he thinks we will be able to remain
neutral. Again making an example of
the last war, he will tel you the IAN
ger of our fighting is intense. The
last war taught us plenty. A.cng with
showing us the evils Of any kind Of
war. it has shown the ever increasing
difficulties of trying to remain ueu-
tlal in word at war.
Has the previous war ;lnmurized

past the ablest lessons taught US are

alism, of hysteria. There are ways Of
remaining neutral If we were abso'
lutely impartial and did not care in
the least who licked who; if England,
France and Poland are able to take
care Of Hitler by themselves-then
we can talk seriously of neutrality.
The first is impossible. With ninety.
nine percent of our citizens despising
Hitler and praying. for an Allied vic
tory; shuddering at Warsaw bombt
bings and thrilling to air raids on
Berlin, strict neutrar;ty is a joke.
The second, our military experts tell
us, is very possible. If Spain and es-
pecially Russia maintain their neu-
trality, the victory our reasoning and
emotions tell US la essential to the
welfare of civilization, is not at all
beyond doubt.
This is all new to me. No doubt
many of you experienced the same re-
action the other day at the bombing
of the Athena that you experienced
when the Lusitania was sunk. A few
more such "incidents" and war is
not at all unlikely.
Is an allied victory essential to our
w7ell-being9 Perhaps. At least most
important, we all are sure that it is.
Let us pray that we will remain neu-
