ANNIVERSARY

CONTINUED from Page u
May Barton, lives in Zion; Her.

died at the age of 10, and twin
girls, Mrs. l.. j. Bullivant, and
Mrs. William G.. Dunn, live in
Zion, as we'll as her youngest
daughter, Miss Katie Hansen.
Three of her daughters,
May, Olive and Daisy came to
the United States from Aus
tralia in May of 1905.
After the death of her hus-
band, Mrs. Hansen and her
daughters, Florence and Katie,
came to Zion from Australia
in 1912. Her husband was a
blacksmith by trade. but also
did some respecting for gold
as many others did in the early
days of Australia's history.
She was an accomplished
organist in the Methodist
church in Australia, and was
noted for her needlework and
reading. Mrs. Hansen still has
a keen mind. She listens to her
radio programs every day.
She is also visited regularly by
her parish officer, Elder
Wright, and never fails to par
take of communion brought her
each month by him. She spends
part of every day in her chair

gers to help themselves. And
there were those who could
not move at all-immobilized
on hospital beds or, worse, re-
stricted to the solitary confine-
ment of iron lungs because
their respiratory muscles were
incapable of sustaining life.
Thousands of these children
and an alarming increasing
number of adults-were add
ed in 1913 to the growing lists
of residual cases, who will need
help for years to come.
The epidemics placed ire
mendous burden upon health
facilities in 20 states where
Polio was epidemic, for no COM
munity, no city, no state can
long sustain the full impact of
Polio in it's sweeping attack
without help from outside
sources.
Demands from affected
areas in this epidemic were
greater than ever before. The
financial drain upon your Ma
tional Foundation for Infan-
tile Paralysis has wiped out the
organizations epidemic re-
serves and depleted treasures
of hundreds of Chapters in
hard-hit states. The job of
fighting the epidemic and
treating Polio patients in 1949
will cost the National Founda-
ton for Infantile Paralysis ap-
proximately $14,OOO,OOO. And
it is our bitter experience that
more money is needed in the
aftermath of an epidemic than
is needed during the epidemic
itself.
This staggering cost has Gre
ated a financial emergency!
The need is great-greater
than ever before. We must
therefore give more than ever
before.
The March of Dimes needs
your support. Please contri-
butte to it generously.

ON oG,t Of MGo",
Getting Mev Dsar

From the precise instruments Of
the naval observatory in Washing
ton, and through the great Airing
ton radio towers, America and
much Of the world VIII learn the
exact instant when the old year
has passed and 1850 has taken its
place. And it is from another haunt
of science in the capital, The Ma
tional Geographic Society, that
one learns when and where the
new year begins.
The United States, accustomed to
ranking itself pretty highly in world
esteem, has to content itself with
being about SiXth-rate in the eyes
of Father Time, the society points
out. For time serves up the new
year to Australia, Asia, Africa,
Europe and most of South America
before he gets around to the first
of our citizens in Maine.
Then, for three more hours, the
people of California must MUNICH
the cruStS and pick the bones of the
old year before they receive fresh
.-elping Of time; and the residents
of Alaska must wait two more hours
beyond that.
When the New Year actually is
born it will be a. m. December
81 in our eastern cities; 6 a. m. in
the central time zone; 5 a. m. in
the mountain zone, and a. m. in
the Pacific coast states.
While the New Year celebrations
in all countries are basically SINH
lar, there are many interesting
variations and special features. For
example, in Great Britain the
kings honor list provides a large
topic of conversation on New
Years day. The wassail bowl is
an important part of the New Year
observance in England, and open
house" is generally kept in town
as well as country.
New Years customs always have
had a joyful theme. Few tears ever
mark the death of the old year, but
there is always gladness at the ad-
vent of the new era which mankind
always hopes will prove TO be bet
ter than the old one.

Pilgrim, 0Sp&,el
"Me Christmas DAY

Puritan disapproval Of Christmas
celebrations disembarked from the
Mayflower with the Pilgrims in
1921 and, accordingly. Governor
Bradford issued a statement pub
licly rebuking certain young men
who declined TO work on December
25. 'ye day called Christmas"
This first New England Christ
mas or non-observance thereof
should not be credited as the first
Christmas on American soil, since
Left Eriksen spent a winter or two
on the North American continent
around the turn Of the 18th century.
Left was a Christian, and it is
likely that members of his crew
we're Christians, too; although it
is quite possible that some had ac-
cepted the. faith without remodel
ing their pagan natures, since King
Olaf'S methods we're ruthless and
his command "Be baptized, or
elsel" left them little choice.
Undoubtedly, flagons Of crude,
raw wine fermented from the
grapes of Leifs Vinland were
passed around and the celebration
may have been rather boisterous,
but in all fairness to Leif-who, ac-
cording to excellent testimony, was
a sincere convert-it is reasonable
to assume that there was a trace
Of religious observance.
Perhaps Left remembered the
few words of Latin prayer he
learned at the time of his conver-
sion and recited them in honor Of
the birthday of the Redeemer he
had accepted. Thus, the first
Christmas in America was OBJ
served.
