With the advent of another year we might well be skephcal and
say. Why celebrate with such fervor and excitement? A good year
had to die so 1856 could be born"
We might say this. but no one does If 1855 was a good year. it
will be well remembered. but few will dwell upon its passing It must
give way to a bright new year bringing with it the profound impress
sion that re are again blessed with an invaluable supply of new days,
hours and minutes We have found a new reservoir of time; time in
which to make plans. to do things to live and think and to make
our dreams come true
Time is indeed the true coin Of our mortal realm, a deeply personal
possession that each is free to spend. squander. sell. give away. devote
to the glory Of God and to the causes of humanity
And though 1856 marks yet another milestone along the journey
Of life that is all too short and quickly travelled, it is joyfuly welcomed
as the giver of a new and magical handful Of time With this magical
handful it is possible to defeat the worries of age. to conquer fear;
to see through the shadows of disflusionment
With unified determination and with the help Of God. this handful
Of living. this New Year 1856. can be recorded in the book of life
upon earth a S a year Of achievement in mans hopeful quest for a
better world = where all nations and all people live together in JOY.

SuperstitiOns,
Traditions Mark
New Year Scene

Traditions and Superstitions have
long been a part of the New Year
scene around the world.
The Chinese believe one must
pay up all their debts if the New
Year is to be a successful one. The
English, on the other hand. consid-
er it a good idea to start a savings
account on January l, since what
you do on the New Years Day is
indicative Of what you will do the
rest of the year.
One Of the most widespread SUI
perstitions concerns the "frst-foot-
err" the first person to enter a
household on New Years morning.
In early days. ONE and light
haired men were considered ''un-
lucky" i~rst-footers.
Ancient custom in Japan was to
scatter parched beans about the
house. supposedly driving away
evil influences and inviting good
luck to enter.

hanging tiny masks of Bacchus up
on trees and vines, the idea being
to impart fertility to every side of
the tree to which the masks were
turned by the wind.
Peasant families in various parts
Of the world once baked special
cakes for the New Year. The cake
was dashed against the door and
as the family members gathered
up the pieces to eat them they
prayed that neither hunger nor
want should enter the house during
the new year.
In olden times some families al
so sought a glimpse into the New
Year by dipping into the Bible.
The head of the family, with his
eyes closed, opened the family
Bible and indicated a passage with
his finger. The text, read and inter
preted was supposed to be indica
tive Of the luck-good or bad-tha
would be in store during the twelv
months ahead.

Nixon Sees President,
Finds His Spirit Tops
|MoIotov Confesses Slip
In Speech s Months Ago

MOSCOW, Oct. 8 tH1.--Foreign
Minister v. M. Molotov confessed
In the magazine Communist to-.
day an theological error In q
speech February 8. He said the
slip was theoretically and poll
tically dangerous to the Soviet
Union.
In brief he wrote that he
enormously referred to the Soviet
Union as a nation where the
foundations of a Socialist society
have already been built" when
heshould have said its Socialist
society is already built and the
USSR is ready to progress to
communism.
The 65-year-old diplomat, long
one of the Communist Party's
top theorists cited decisions Of
the party as early as 1892 to pin
point his error and support his
self lf-criticism.
Day Malenkov Resigned
The Molotov speech was de-
liyered the same day that Premier
Georgi Malenkoy resigned after
confessions Of guilt, mostly on
matters Of foreign affairs.
Mr.. Molotov said in a letter to
the editorial board of the mag
azine Communist that part Of
his speech TO the Supreme Soviet
contradicted decisions OF the
Communist Party.
The letter was dated Septem-
Der l6, which meant the Foreign
Minister wrote it after the con-
clusion Of negotiations with West
German Chancellor onrad
IAdenauer and just before his
departure for the United Nations
General Assembly in New York.
He is now back In Moscow.
The date OF the letter also
showed it took seven months and
one week for Mr.. Molotovis con-
fessed error to cause enough
emotion in Communist circles
to require q public retraction.
What effect this public con-
fession Of mistakes would have
on Mr.. MolotoY's future career
was not clear to anyone outside
top party circles. Whether 1t
would affect his going to Geneva
for the Big Four foreign min
listers conference later this
month was also shrouded In
mystery,
However. it should be noted
| self criticism is highly esteemed
In Communist circles.
