and former Greek countries using
the indication and Olympiad period
Of time measurment.
This confusing mess continued
until Pope Gregory undertook the
task of bringing order and preci-
sion to the calendar. The most
systematic and far reaching i'm
prOYemcnt was that contributed
10y Justin Joseph Scaliger, French
scholar of ancient history and
languages, who fOrmalized Julius
Caesars system into the Julian
period whose length was deter
mined by multiplying together the
twenty-eight years required for
the month system to repeat itself,
the nineteen years required for
eclipses to repeat on the same day
of the year and the fifteen year
period Of indications, which gave
1880 years. If all three periods
started on the same day it would
take that number of years for
them to coincide again. The start
ing date was figured back to Jan.
l, Alb B. c. thus linking the Ma
bOnassar, the Roman and the
Christian eras.
Simplest of all calendars is that
used by the astronomers. It has no
weeks, months, seasonal dates or
years-just a system of days. 1t
is the most modern and the most
ancient as it is essentially the
Chaldean system modernized by
Scaliger by giving each Julian
period day a number, called the
Julian Day and abbreviated J. D.
On Jan. 1. ALB B. C. began 0.
Today is J. D. 2,434 O23. There is
actually half day difference
caused by the fact that the astro-
nOmical day starts at noon and
the civil day at midnight.
Other Uses Suggested
This system, in which our days
are actually numbered, provides a
convenient calendar for anv one
who is concerned with days with
out regard to weeks, months or
dates. In accounting methods in
which it is desired to compare
hOmOlOgOus days of each year the
dates could be given their cor
responding J. D. numbers. In prac-
lice only the last three or four
figures are used, 023 for TODAY.
for example. Astronomers also
number each day of the year as
days elapsed since the beginning
of the year. This is much simpler
for calculating elapsed days than
counting weeks and days from the
calendar
In cases where it is desired to
mark a document with a date that
would not be obvious the Julian
Day system offers a method. To-
day. for example, could be identi-
fled by 02352. The last two figures
indicate the year and the first
three figures identify the Julian
Day. If it is not desired to use the
year figure the last four figures
of the Julian Dav number can be
used, as 1923. A four figure series
will cover nearly three years.

Milford chronicle., 1952-01-11

Every year at this time we are
getting acquainted with a new cal
endar. Never is the old calendar
usable during the following year.
The days and dates do not match.
The reason becomes apparent if We
divide 36525, the number of days
in a year, by seven, the number of
days in a week. The answer is So,
the number of weeks IN a year, but
their is a remainder of about one
and One-quarter days. AS a result
each year ends one day later in the
week than it did the previous year,
and in leap years, two days later
If we are the thrifty type we can
save our calendars and at the end
of twenty-eight years we can start
using the series over again in the
same order. Every twenty-eight
years all the dates of each month
return to the same day of the week,
starting from any year. This num-
Der is obtained by multiplying the
number Of years it takes the calen-
0ar to progress through one week
(seven), by the number of years in
a leap year cycle in which the frac-
tional day is absorbed (four).
Ar as:eient System
This system will work until a
century year is encountered that
IS not divisible by 400, this being a
reversed leap year cycle to balance
u fraction of day deficiency that
accumulates every century. The
same series Of twenty-eight calen-
dars can be used, however, by
shifting the sequence order back
ward by one year at the century
point, except where the year is
divisible by 400.
These facts apply to the Gre
gOrian calendar, established by,
Pope Gregory XIII, in 1882, but not
adopted in this country and Eng
land until two centuries later. The
Gregorian calendar made "a minor
correction in the calendar estab-
lished by julius Caesar in 46 B. C. /
The Julian calendar lacked the Il
century correction factor and is
now half a month out of step with
the seasons.
We are actually using a calendar
much older than the GregOrian or
Julian and in this calendar tOday's
date is Jan. II, 6665. It is called the
Julian period and started Jan. /, 4
5713 B. c. Roman astronomers
used a system of day reckoning
which they received from the
Greek astronomers who received
it from Babylon and India where
it was developed by the Chaldeans,
the earliest calendar makers, magi
and astrOlogers.
Early astronomers were we'll in
formed on many long period cycles
in astronomical events but the
earliest surviving day system in
which years, moon cycles and
eclipses were recorded is that
established for the NabOnassar era
which started 2,7OO years ago. on
April %, 748 B. c. in Babylon.
PtOlmey and other Greek astrOn-
omers carried on this notation
which enabled them to rediscover
the eclipse cycles and other phe-
nOmena
Julius Caesar used this frame
work as fixed reference standard
against which to stabilize the RO-
man artificial system of twelve
months which replaced the natu-
raj, irregular, moon calendars of
thirteen moons, or months. A har-
concession had to be
made to the countries under RO-
man control using moon calendars,

MY QUEST

Let me but live my life from year
to year,
With forward face and unrelenting
soul;
Not hurrying to, nor turning from,
the goal;
Not mourning for the things that dis
appear
In the dim past, nor holding back in
fear
For what the future wells; but with a
whole
And happy heart, that pays its toll
To youth and age, and travels on
with cheer.
So let the way wind up the hill or
down,
Ger rough or smooth, the journey
will be joy.
Still seeking what / sought when but
a boy,
New friendship, high adventure, and
a crown,
My heart will keep the courage of
the quest,
And hope the roads last turn will
be the best.

NEW BANK MANAGER ASSUMES DUTIES

Many people have been getting acquainted this week with the Matanuska Valley Banks new manager. Richard M. Jones.
 Mir. Jones was also getting ac- quainted with the town-and lik- ing it. Actually, he took over his new job on Monday, March 3, but details connected with orien- tation kept him out of the lime light a good share of the time last week.
 Coming to Alaska is the cul- imitation of a ten-year dream gained on a fish tender that took Jones up past the tip of the Kena! Peninsula into Cook Inlet.
 As soon as he decides where he is going to live his wife, Gladys, and their three children-Don, aged 10; Anne, aged 8; and two year-old Brian-will join him here in Palmer.
