The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-02-13

New York, Feb. 13 - Linconfs birthday this year celebrated on a Wednesday emphasizes how the cal endar acts as a bottle neck" to national defense. Many vital in dustrial plants shut down for the weekend, opened for two days and then closed again for one day III mid-Week because of this hohoay. The cost to cur arms production Ill man-poWer and machine hours, not to count the expense to employers themselves, must be staggering ana is entirely unnecessary.
 In the new World Calendar of F months and equal-quarterS, L1n- coln,s birthday together with other outstanding national holidays, could be observed on Monday. Lincoln $ birthday always falling on Sunday February 12th. would be celebrated on the following day. Monday the 18th, and Wasnington's birthday could revert to February 11th (the original date before the Gregorlan calendar was adopted and the one which Washington himself observ- ed), which would always come on Saturday. The birthdays of these two great Presidents could thus be commemorated in ore holiday per iod, extending to a three-day week end, and the value to industry and workerse alike would be substantial Instead of February being month with two separate holidays, as here- tofore 1t would then have the two national holidays joined into an extended weekend in natural simple manner.
 Modern industrial machines geared to assembly line production are absolutely dependent on the calendar. They can only function as the present imperfect calendar permits them to function. 1naccur- ate clocks would not be tolerated ir any of our plants for 8 moment yet industry must get along on ar antiquated calendar, adjusted to ar agricultural age $50 years ago!
 Most assembly plants now work all through the calendar week. ano processes within these factories are governed hy the clock. However raw materials and parts needed foi the final assembly of the complete unit, which must be delivered tc the assembly plant, are oftentimeS produced and manufactured out side, in smaller factories that are governed by the calendar.

Industry. and labor be- ing able to depend on regular an .dorderly calendar. could then plan production, delivery and man. ufacture of basic materials on def1- nite schedules, permitting a more efficient production for our national defense.
 This perpetual 12-month calen- dar would equalize the quarters of the year. with each quarter begin ming on Sunday. and ending on Sat llrday. Every quarter would con- tain 3 months, 13 weeks or 91 days. Morrth-dates would always fall on the same weekdays and every month would have 26 weekdays plus Sundays. Every year would begin on Sunday In this plan per feet coordination is attained among the various time units To stabi- lize and complete the calendar, making 1t conform to the solar year with its four seasons, an extra Sat- uroay. called Year End Day, ill or dinary years, and 8 second extra Saturday, called Leap-Year Day. in leap years. are added to the year and considered as Word-Holidays, Holidays as they would appear in The World Calendar are as follows:
 New Years Day, Sunday, Janu- ary 1.
 Washington's Birthday, Satur- day, February II (original date before GregOrian refOrm).
 Lincoln's Birthday, Sunday, February 12, observed Monday, February 13.

 By opening the telephone book, the prospective divorcee may find listd the names and phone num- bers of 395 attorneys and law firms more per capita in proportion to the population than any other city in the world.
 Six circuit judges are available to sign divorce decrees. It is signifi- cant, in the light of Miami's ever increasing divorce business, that two new circuit judges were ap- pointed in recent months due to population increases revealed by the 1940 census.
 $50 UNTIES MOST

 What does Miami divorce cost? The answer to this question de- pends upon several things. The simplicity of the case, the promi- hence and capability of the attor- ney-or the client-and the neces- sity for taking testimony before a master in chancery all are factors to be considered in determining the cost. Divorce decrees have been signed, sealed and delivered" in a few hours for less than $50, while others have run into thousands of

door behind him.

Benny" this man said, and thrust
out his hand. looked at him again.
He was standing in the light of the
sheriff's lantern, tall slender man
with sensitive lips and friendly brown
eyes, The eyes were familiar. I saw

Most of the young men in our neigh

used my dads last name.
The car started moving over the
sippery road toward the Writ farm.
Eldon Lister lighted a cigar. "Well.
Kent" he said. what do you have to
add to what the sheriff has told me?'
Nothing" Dad said briefly. There

Dad said. There may be nothing

face. Don't be SO dam dumb! What

What are you getting at?" Dad
asked quietly.
Several things. Maybe. Why did
Tom throw away that pistol Brown
gave him?"
Dad said nothing. "He must have

up the Writ lane at last and drove

We followed, and the lantern light
cast queer, darting shadows across the
dry creek bed. Near the big willow
Clint Brown set his lantern down.
"Step it off. SAM" he said. Twelve
feet east and seven south"
Dad began pacing. taking care to
measure each step. 1t brought him to
the center of the ford, where the sand
was cut and chopped by the sharp
hoofs of the sheep. There he stopped.
and Ed Hassel, who had brought
spade from the car, began to dig.
Water oozed into the hole. Now and
then Ed paused and tried to scoop
out the muck with his hands.
No ONE spoke. There was no sound
save the tiny drizzle of the rain on the
leaves and the painting thrust of Eds
spade. Dad stood in the circle of the
lantern light. l looked at him; his
face was tightly drawn. expressionless.
Eldon Lister had come up closer to
the hole. His eyes were cleaning, like
a hounds with a freed coon. Some wet
muck stuck his shoe; he swore, but
did not take his eyes from the hole.
Fifteen minutes passed. The hole
had deepened now; it came above
Ed Hassel's hips. Sheriff Brown cursed
the water; it was beginning seriously
to hamper the digging. Damn it,
Ed" he said; I'VE ought to hit some
thing pretty soonr'
My dad stepped up to him. Clint,
there may be nothing to find"
HELL" Lister spoke up angrily,
there's got to be! Dig deeper! Go
right on down.
Ed Hassel kept on digging. Dad
moved closer to the hole. Wait" he
said. you're deep enough. Try an
other spot; try few feet more to the
east"
"An right. Ed," Clint said, TRY

The new hole was quickly started.
Ed Hassel worked steadily. pausing
only to scoop out muck with his hands.
