Many People Still
Celebrate Feasts
By Ancient Calendar

Many people who use the GREGG
rian calendar still solemnize tradi-
tional feasts, including New Year
in accordance with ancient calen-
dars.
The Jews observe a Today New
Year season at the time Of the
autumn equinox. The observances
begin on Rosh Eashana and end on
Yom Kippur; Rosh Hashana COM
memorates the Day of Creation and
is also the annual day of judgment.
with judgment being irrevocably
sealed on Yom Kippur (the Day of
Atonement; therefore the spirit Of
penance dominates the solemnities.
Penance is also a feature Of Hin
du observances, solemnized in ac-
cordance with the ancient lunar
calendar during the spring equinox
The Moslem calendar, which
dates from 626 A. D., is unique,
since the twelve months of the year
begin with the approximate new
moon without any calculations to
keep them geared to the seasonal
equinoxes. Thus, the months-and
New Years. too - retrograd

years.

Three Famous
Americans Born
New Year Day

January /, perennialy celebrated
as the start of a new year, is also
the birthdate Of three famous
Americans.
On January l, 1875, a boy was
born in Boston, Mass. He grew UP
to be a silversmith and engraver,
designed and printed the first Con-
tinental money and the first official
seal Of the colonies. An amateur
inventor, he discovered a process
for rolling sheet copper. But he
is most famous for horse ride
he made on the night of April 10,
ITS. His name: Paul Revere.
Seventeen years later. in 1852, a
girl was born in Philadelphia on
the first day of the year. She was
Betsy Ross-maker Of the first
American flag. On the same day
was born the great poet-Philip
Freneau.
Other events that took place on
January /; George Washington at
Cambridge raised for the first
time the flag of the United Colo
MES, 1875; Florida adopted the
constitution, 1887; Union of Ire
land and Great Britain, 1901; de-
Sousa discovered Rio de Janeiro,
1881; The United Nations Declare
ton signed, 1912; the first Tourna-
ment Of Roses, 1889.

Supersfifions,
Traditions Mark
New Year Scene

Traditions and superstitions have
long been 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 good idea to start a savings
account on January /, 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 su-
perstitionS concerns the ''first-foot-
er," the first person to enter a
household on New Years morning.
In early days, women and light
haired men were considered "un-
lucky" first-footers.
Ancient custom in Japan was to
scatter parched beans about the
house, supposedly driving away
evil influences and inviting good
luck to enter
The Romans were accustomed to
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-that
would be in store during the twelve
months ahead.

LONGEST YEAR

Once there was a year which con-
tanned 445 days-or an extra two
months.
Numa Pompilius supposedly Gre
ated the Roman calendar in the
seventh century B. c. Although re-
vised several times, the calendar
by Julius Caesars time was two
months behind the sun.
When Caesar set his experts to
the task Of revising the calendar in
the 10Th century, they found they
had to meet the problem of catch
ing up with the sun. So two months
were inserted between the months
of November and December foI
the year as B. c.
