We celebrate New Year’s on Jan
uary 1 because 10 days have been
lifted boldly from time.
These 10 days disappeared on two
occasions. Tie first time was in
1582 when several countries of
Europe swore allegiance to the
new calendar created by Pope
Gregory VIII which found the world
some 10 days behind itself due to
errors in time calculations.
In order to make the correction,
the people of these countries were
asked to sacrifice the days from
October 5 to 14, inclusive. It was
essential to have October 15 follow
October 5 by just one day, and
bravely, millions allowed it to be
so.
The second occasion, and the one
which makes the American New
Year celebration come at the right
time, occurred in 1752. It was then
that England decided to cease
holding out against the Gregorian
calendar. England discarded the
period from September 3 to Sep
tember 13.
It was a confusing period. Social
calendars were mixed up, babies
were 11 days old after only being
alive for two day, vacations were
cut short. But it finally straight
ened itself out and today the cal
endar is on schedule.
“Jlappy. JSeiv y[ear ”
-May dfe World's
Oldest Qreetiny
“Happy New Year,” said in one
way or another, is probably the
world’s oldest and most universal
holiday greeting.
The coming of the new year has
been marked and celebrated since
prehistoric time. It has not always
been January 1, however, and even
now many peoples celebrate some
other date as New Year’s Day.
January 1, in fact, is an arbi
trary date set by the Romans be
fore Julius Caesar established the
calendar that is the basis for the
date used in most western coun
tries. January 1, in ancient Rome,
marked the day that consuls and
other officials took office, and until
Caesar set things straight it was
sometimes juggled considerably
for the political benefit of one of
ficeholder or another.
An error in Caesar's calculation
(365*4 days), however, allowed
January 1 to creep away from its
original astronomical place, and
by 1582 when Pope Gregory XIII
instituted the reformed Julian cal
endar in use today, spring’s first
day had gained 14 days on the
stars.
Practical as it is, the Gregorian
calendar gained slow acceptance.
The British Empire, including its
American colony, did not adopt it
until 1752. Young George Washing
ton, who had turned 20 on February
11, 1752, had to wait until Febru
ary 22, 1753, to attain his majority.

New Year Open House
Introduced by Dutch
The custom of making short calls
on New Year’s Day was in full
J swing in the United States around
J the turn of the century.
Newspapers carried columns of
| “at home” notices specifying the
hours during which visitors would
be received. Hosts and hostesses,
having duly received, closed their
1 open house to become guests at
S somebody else’s.
j “Open House” on New Year’s
I Day was introduced into America
I by the Dutch who settled in New
Amsterdam. Friends were accus-
I tomed to dropping in to offer the
: compliments of the day and re
! freshments centered around home
made snacks, plus the host’s fa
vorite concoction of punch.
The custom grew with the coun
try, finally attaining the newspaper
announcement stage, with its even
tual time-table and scurrying from
one “open house” to another. It
was inevitable that some guests,
after a succession of nine or ten
punch bowls, sometimes embar
rassed their tenth or eleventh
! hostess; and receptions sometimes
were “crashed" by total strangers.

jCONTROL CATTLE GRUB
To kill grubs in the back of
cows you should dust well along
the cow’s back with 1 1-2 percent
| Rotenone powder in 100 gallons of
i water, according to livestock spec
ialists for the Agricultural Exten
sion Service, University of Geor
gia. After you have dusted the
cows, rub the powder into the skin
with a stiff brush. One pound will
treat about 15 animals.
