Unusual New Year,
Customs Are Still
Observed by Scots

Neither gaiety nor giddiness
quite describe some of the odd and
ancient customs that color the
New Year season in Scotland.
On January II at Burghead, Nor
ayrshire, they preserve the pagan
Yule-freS with THE Burning of
the Clavie." The "Clavie" is a tar
filled barrel, which is lit with a
flaming brand and carried round
the town. 1t is then rolled down q
local hillside where villagers
scramble for the burning embers
as luck-bringers..
The men of Stonehaven, Kin
cardineshire, march through the
streets swinging Fireballs of tai
lowed rope and, all over Scotland,
bonfres blaze, burning the Old
Year out.
But you have to take the trip to
the remote Shetland Islands to see
what is perhaps the finest Fire Fes-
tival of all. It's called ''Uphelly-
a and takes place at the end of
January in Lerwick. Here replica

PaSadena's world famous Tourn-
ament of Roses started out in 1888
as an informal procession of car
riages bedecked with the blossoms
at hand and driven over a pre-
arranged route.
The idea was the brain-child OF
Charles Frederick Holder who, as
the new zoology teacher from tn,
east, was impressed by the abur-
dance and beauty of flowers bloom
ing in mid-winter Mr.. Hunters
suggestion that the Valley Hunt
club of Pasadena sponsor an in
formal display thereof was re-
ceived enthusiastically and New
Years Day was selected as APP
propriate and convenient.
So, what developed into the
Tournament of Roses began as
AN informal procession of car
riages' on January l, 1886. 1t was
such success that preparations
and formalities increased. Floral
floats made their debut and the
order of the day-the parade, COM
petitive sports, climaXed by the
grand ball in the evening-was es-
tablished.
Dedicated in 1923, the original
seating capacity of the Rose Bowl
Stadium (85,O0O exceeded the to-
tai permanent population of Pasa-
dena and recent enlargement per-
mitted paid attendance of 100, 234
Tor the football classic January l,
1850.
Likewise, the Tournament of
Roses has attained world renown
as a floral festival, with literally
millions of blossoms bedecking an
ever-increasing number of floats,
annually thrilling hundreds of thou

He sat for several moments hugging his
knees and rocking with laughter. Then the
enjoyment of his discovery took more nor
NAL turn.
"Ah," he cried, ''how wrong they have been
in their treatment of me! But am man of
noble heart. shall forgive them"
For a few seconds he gloated in silence,
then: Hobo! Ohio! can picture their faces

face sagged as dreadful realization came to
him. He could not tell his fisherman friends

chest as the coral fell away to reveal the iron
hasps and locks whose design proved it to be
Spanish as the thickness of the coral enrusta-
ton proved it to be ancient.
Then they saw another picture = the dream
picture he always turned to for comfort when
a crisis, such as he had gone through this
morning with his wife, Marie. made life seem
unbearable In it he saw himself sailing as he
sailed now, of the shore of the tiny French
Caribbean island of Valigaa; but in the
dream, he sailed IN boat whose timbers were
not tired from the sea "a boat that was
painted the brightest red and that oolnsed
over the swells proudly, driven effortessly by
an American outboard motor.
Possession of such craft would give him
stature. IN the eyes of his handsome wife,
Marie, where currently he had none.
HIS usually smiling mouth turned down at
the corners as he remembered his parting from
Marie this morning. He had been trying to
explain for the thousandth time that he fshed
each day even though he never caught any
marketable fish, instead of working for wages
at the sugar company, because his grand
father and father were fishermen and, as
everyone knew, he was fisherman - and she
had laughed.
You" she said. 'tas everyone knows, are a
lazy good -for-nothing bum. Fisherman? Ha!
You are such miserable fisherman you do
not even have boat good enough to carry
you out to sea where the real fish are! Your
boat is sieve that is the laughingstock OF
Saint Pierre - as you are yourself"
Her attitude of scorn, he felt, was not only
grossly unfair, it was also unbearable. Had
he not, after all, already provided her with
six strong sons to help her work their two
acres of farmland while he fshed?
But, cIerie my sweetheart Il -"
She turned away so he did not see that she
was crying.
Il ann not your sweetheart, Jean-Jean, she
said. "A woman - must be proud of man
to- be his sweetheart"
She would not even kiss him good-by. At
the memory. he wiped salty tear from his
eye with salty hand. Then he burst into
maniacal laughter. "SGcTs bIeH, weep! just
because have forgot for the moment that I
am become man of mtole riches"

and, as he brooded, it became even more stark.
He saw that he must go farther than merely
not telling. He must, indeed, even stop drink
ing wine with his friends, lest it loosen his
tongue. Then, too, there was the problem of
sleep. Men talked sometimes in their sleep.
'Wen, win settle that!'' he shouted Il
win sleep GLOsseE'
But, to man with liking for children and
handsome, afectionate, though sometimes
trying woman like Marie for wife, this pro-
gram seemed drastic beyond all reason.
what terrible responsibility is great
wealth, he muttered Il think was happier
when / was just poor fisherman
He sank back into his mood of dark and
silent glooming, scowled out at the sea. Pres
entity he spoke again.
lie bon Diem should not have done this to
me-" he said 'Le bon Dieu should -" He
broke of. Suddenly his eyes grew quick and
bright
lie bon DieMr he cried. ''Pere francois"
His fists pounded the rotting rail of the
dory at the exciting plan k bon Diew's name
had caused to fash into his mind.
JEAN-JEAN DEL LoRME sat in the quiet, lamp
Lit study of Pere Francois, who was the spirit
ual leader of the little town of St Pierre: His
fingers were crossed beneath the desk, his toes
were crossed inside his shoes. He writhed in
an agony of suspense. He had made a prop
osition. Now he waited for his answer.
The proposition was simplicity itself. He,
Jean-Jean DeLorme. had found huge treas
We out on the reef. Since he could not posi-
bly, salvage it without being set upon by the
various thieves and pirates who were his
fishermen friends and. since Pere Francois
could, he would give all of it to the Cathedral
of st. Pierre - on three conditions:
One, that Pere Francois take personal COM
mand of the salvaging; two, that if the size OF
the treasure justified it, Pere Francois would
procure for him boat eighteen feet long
whose tmbeTs were not tired from the sea,
painted bright red and powered by an out
board motor; three. that P1e Francois would
have it announced publicly. where Marie
DeLorme could not fail to hear, that Jean
Jean DeLorme, because of his magnificent
gift to the church, was to be regarded as a
man of great Importance in the community.
