Customs Associated
With New Years Day

Centuries ago, the Vikings built
huge fires at the turn of the year
to propitiate their fierce Morse
gods. The ancient Romans would
observe the start Of a new season
by hanging masks Of Bacchus
upon trees and vines, with the
hope that fertility would be inn
parted in every direction to which
the masks were turned by the
wind
The Scots switched the trunks
of fruit trees, in anticipation Of
"howling good crop.
No one knows for sure why we
moderns think it necessary to
make as much noise as we can
on New Years eve, unless, like
some of our ancestors, we be-
lieve that evil influences viii be
frightened away by all the noise
and shouting.

All of this is wholesome and
constructive, as is demonstrated
by the little or no so-called labor
