The C1adRe Hocko4
By Mildred Kirkpatrick


 Yesterday the proverbial last straw presented itself on my desk in the form of a letter from a good friend requesting a do- nation to a most worthy cause.
 We Americans are well known to be the most generous, great est softies, most prodigal and most given to the keeping up with the Joncscs" of any people in the world. We have more causes on national scale than you can shake a stick at. Every one of them is good and worthy. But the time has come for me when I have to call a halt somewhere.
 In the small city, ones friends are always representing some fund or other, and unfortunately most of them come in the spring of the year. If one turns down a friend who has been selected for his enthusiasm and ability to produce in a fund raising, he feels hurt if you don't respond with dollar or so just because you are his friend, and his IS a worthy cause.
 Speaking personally, my ex- penses have increased while my income has shrunken until the two simply will not meet, and doubtless there are others in the same boat.
 So where does one begin to cut? Usually it is the grocery bill which gets the first scrutiny. Am I buying extravagantly? Well, let's see. Here's an item we can do without, there is an other that is mighty pleasant, but not absolutely necessary
 And so it goes. But try as you will, there is not much differ ence in the total picture. Some thing else has to be cut, and so far as I can see, l shall have to decide upon certain worthy causes to support, and not try to keep up with the whole coun- try by contributing to them all.
 This, then, is my reason, Friends, for contributing to some, and refusing others. I just plain don't have the money.
 The Great White Father in Washington has stated that i've must give until it hurts" We'll, Father, you apparently have no idea of how much it has hurt already. Scientists tell us that a hurt is pain, that severe pain causes unconsciousness, which is blessed unaWarenesS of pain. Maybe when we reach that stage we can give it all and

"brethren' did not necessarily mean blood-brothers. Here in brief is their explanation:
 In the Hebrew and Aramaic Gin which our Lord spoke) there was no exclusive word for cousin The word An could, and often did, mean brother, cousin, uncle, nephew, or even member of the same tribe, as so often used in the Old Testa ment. It is translating the word "Ah" as Brethren" and under standing it to mean blood broth CTS, that causes the seeming con- flict. Take it to mean cousins" or merely relatives and the Catholic dogma of the perpetual virginity of Our Blessed Lady remains unscathed
 Remember that the Apostles preached and taught by word of-mouth for at least six years before St Matthew started to write the first Gospel Remem- Der, that the civilized world of the day was converted to Chris tianity before the Church had gathered together and declared inspired these writings now known as the New Testament. Remember that it was the great St. Augustine of Hippo who wrote in the fifth century: For myself, I would not believe the Gospel unless the authority of the Catholic Church moved me thereto"

 Now when I make my contri- button (until it hurts) to him this month, that is the last for a while, and all those worthy causes which will follow are just out of luck. Why, I can't even watch the calendar for the Nanana ice dates this year!

January I Date
Fairly Modern

The custom of welcoming in the
New Year on January is a rela-
lively modern one. Down through
history the holiday was a movable
one. many people and nations cele.
brating at different times of the
year.
The vernal equinox, March %, was
celebrated as the start of the new
year by the Jews. The Greeks cele-
brated on December 81, the time of
the winter solstice. The autumnal
equinox. September %, marked the
beginning of new year for ancient
Egypt.
1t was not until the coming. OF the
Gregorian calendar, instituted by
Pope Gregory in 1882, that the
groundwork was laid for a univer-
sal celebration. The continent of
Europe, having celebrated New
Years on March 25 since medieval
time. was the first to adopt the
calendar popularity.
Yet it was not complete adop-
ton. Great Britain provided the
weight that finally tipped the scales
in favor of Gregory's calendar in
1852, when the British parliament
officially established New Years
day as January l.

Truly speaking, the first day of
the year has no more significance
as holiday than that which is given
to it by the imagination of mankind
II is important only because it
marks turning point--a spot on the
calendar where civilization may say,
THAT period is done for, tomorrow
we start anew
If the passing year has been an
unpleasant one, time of war.
plaques or poverty the New Year
becomes all the more important be-
cause it lies in the future that may
offer blessed relief.
New Years Day is a day OF to-
morrow and, for mankind, there are
no unpleasant tomorrows.
To the poor, tomorrow offers Sc
curity; for the sick there is a prom
Use of health; the imprisoned may
scale the walls of freedom; the
smallest eaglet may learn to fly.
Thus, in essence, New Years Day
becomes one of the most important
days in the year-the day of new
start. 1t is once more the moment
that optimism becomes the asset of
every human heart.
Days that have been passed with
hours at once depart the world for
the sketchy pages of history, and all
men know that the world was-and
shall be--according to the inhabi-
tants. Mankind starts afresh, brim-
ming with new hopes, ambitions and
dreams, holding but one reserva-
ton:
If the new year fails to live up
to expectation, there will be no re-
grets or contempt. It leads eternal
ly to another year and another
chance.
