Gregoridn
Our T~imekeepinq

Our present calendar-the Gre
gorian-was the first calendar to
achieve any semblance of world
unity on the time front.
The coming of this calendar, in
stituted by Pope Gregory in 1882
laid the groundwork for universal
celebration of New Years day.
Europe, which for centuries had
celebrated March Is as the first
day of the year, was the first to
adopt the Gregorian calendar. But
it was not a complete adoption I'M
til 1852 when Great Britain joined
the other European countries rec
ognizing January l as the first day
of the year and instituting use of
the Gregorian calendar.
OF course, the date of January
l is not celebrated by everyone.
The Jews observe a Today New
Year season at the time of the
autumn equinox. The Moslem cal
endar, which dates to 626 AID.
has IL months that begin with the
approximate new moon without
any Decentralization to keep them
geared to the seasonal equinoxes.
And, the Gregorian, although it
performed a great job of unifica-
ton, still doesn't satisfy everyone
that uses it. Periodically some one
comes forth with what they con-
slider a better way of marking
time.

Islanders Are
First See
Every New Year

Residents of Chatham Islands.
New Zealand, are always the first
to welcome in the New Year. This
particular distinction is brought
about by the fact that the Islands
lie just east of the starting point
of time-the Admiralty's date line.
1t is made to curve east and west
of the 180th meridian in such a
way that it lies always in the
ocean.
The year 1855 will leave the
islands and race westward along
the equator at a speed of 1000
miles per hour. At 1901 on JAN
uary l. 1855. in the islands, it will
still be the last day of the year
1854 in New York and London. The
milkman will be making his 7 am.
rounds in New York and Big Ben
will be striking the noon hour for
Londoners.
By the time the New Year
reaches the bowling mob in Times
Square, the Chatham Islanders will
be preparing to set down to their
New Years day feast.

New Year Calls
For Celebrations

New Years is celebrated in I'M
usual fashion in many parts of
the world and as a rule, it is a
time for gaiety and for throwing
off the shackles of another year.
1t is one of the happiest days on
the Japanese calendar. Even the
poorest manage to have a new
suit of clothes for this day. which
is spent visiting friends. Celebra-
tons sometimes last as long as
two weeks. with three or four days
vacation from work taken by many
happy celebrants.

Cut Off Rolls

the common voting roll.
They now go on q separate
roll. Like the black voters. they
will ballot only for white candi-
dates nominated by the party in
power. A fourth racial group,
the Asiatics. has no vote. Most
are Indians.
The Coloreds additionally had
backed opponents of Prime Min
lister Johannes Strijdom's Ma
tionalist Party and influenced
the outcome in about eight par
liamentary races.
The vote brought loud cheers
from the supporters of Strijdom S
government and its Apartheid

the fight to take from the mu-

Malan pushed such a law
through the lower house in 1852.
