New Years Celebrated At Different
Times Thruout History OF Mankind
New Years Day in Russia and
Greece Comes on Janu-
airy 13
Celebration of Arrival of New
Year Goes Far Back i'm
History

Uniform celebration of New Years
Day on January throughout the
world is phenomenon of rather an
cient historical development.
However, the uniformity has GER
tain exceptions as in the case of
Russia and Greece, which use the
Julian calendar instead of the Greg
orian calendar commonly used in
most of the remainder of the world.
In the Gregorian calendar, the
first of January is IL days earlier
than in the Julian calendar, and
hence Russia and Greece celebrate
New Years Day on what to US is
January Is.
Ancient Egyptians, Phoenicians
and Persians began their year at the
autumnal equinox, on September %,
and the Greeks of the time of Solon
at the winter solstice, on December
I21.
Roman Celebration
The Romans reckoned the begin
ming of the year from the winter
solstice until the time of julius Cae-
sar, who in his reform of the cal
endar changed it to the first day OF
January. The Jews began, and still
begin, their civil year with the first
of the month Tiser, which roughly
corresponds to our month of Sep.
tember.
In England, December rs was New
Years Day until the time of William
the Conqueror. His coronation hap
pened to occur on January /, hence

Justice James M. Proctor Of Dis
trict Court yesterday postponed until
tomorrow further argument on q
motion in which Carl H. Dawson
Smith, jr., 80, Of the 1000 block oi
Twentieth street NV, seeks formal
custody of his son Carl.

given two days in court last week
Until now, the divorce itself had not
been under consideration during the

informed the court yesterday that
important new evidence had come
to light over the week end. Mr.
Boardman said he wanted to sum-
mon a manager, assistant manager
and, II necessary, a bellboy OF local
hotel to testify. Mr.. Boardman said
he was prepared to prove that Mrs
Smith and Mr.. Hippelheuser had
stayed at the same hotel.
Mr.. Hippelheuser is also defend
ant in a $100, 900 alienation of af-
lection suit filed in August by Mr.
Smith.

FTC InspirotionoI Breakfasts
Still Delight Founder and Stoff

Federal Trade Commissioner Low
ell Mason has been serving the
United States Government in his
present capacity for a year now
and he's still sold on the monthly
inspirational FTC breakfasts. The
ninth one, held at 8 am. In the
seventh floor dining room,, proved
that the so guests were as COM
pletely pleased as the man who
originated the idea. They had re-
served their places-breakfast costs
so cents with bacon, egg and trim
mingS- gS-more than month ago.
Some Of them sign up regularly
more than so days in advance.
This morning they heard DR.. A.
Powell Davis, minister Of All Souls
Unitarian Church. As they always
do, the breakfast began with a
prayer Of grace by one Of the mem
bers Of the FTC staff. There was
no loud talk or backslapping as the
guests slipped their juice and fin
ished of the meal. They knew
from past experience that the oc-
casion called for reflective attitude
Of mind.
Then, without introduction of any
kind, DR.. Davis stood before the
group and discussed how the
thoughts of men are Influenced and
nodded by their experiences. Every
thing he said was reducible to per-
sonal terms.
Eloquently the discussion evolved
to its conclusion-a prayer of less
than Is words-and the group, mur-
muring its pleasure, disbanded to
go about its business.
Il began sponsoring our breakfasts
to humanize and inspire the more
than 500 persons who make up this
