VOLUME XVIII \$, 1U22, Western Newspaper Union.) /■pHE New Year begins precisely at A midnight, and almost everyone now adays sees the New Year in by general festivities and ninny good resolutions, which are promptly forgotten on Jan uary 2. The festivities marking this occasion, says Herewurd Carrington, scientist and author, are very ancient, and in old Saxon days it was the custom to partake of a bowl of spiced ale, which was passed around with the expression “Wasshael,” which meant “to your health!” Hence the origin of the Was sail, or Wassel bowl. We now keep New Year on Jnnunry the first; but the Chinese, Jews, Turks and many others do not observe It on this day. Even Christian countries have not always so observed it; the Romans begnn the year with the March equinox. The later Teutonic nations for a long time continued counting the beginning of the year from March 25. It was only in 1563, by an edict of Charles IX, that France changed the time of the beginning of the year to January 1. In 1000 Scotland made the same change, and England only did so in 1752, when the Gregorian system was adopted there. It will thus be seen that the New Year, ob served on January 1, is relatively new, though we are accustomed to think that it dates back from time im memorial. It was Julius Caesar, in the yenr 46 B. C., who first reformed the calen dar—aided by the Egyptian astronomer Sosigertes. He made it a few minutes too long, and a second correction was necessary. Pope Gregory made cer tain changes in 1582, A. D., and ad- aitlonn! minor changes were made later on, from the “old style” to the “new style” calendar.” We now employ the new style. After the F/cneh revolution France decided to eot up an entirely new or der of tilings. A new calendar was made. The Christian era was wiped out, and was replaced by the new French era, beginning September 22, 1792. Instead of our week of seven days, a week of ten dnys was estab lished—in accordance with the decimal system—the tenth day being set aside for rest. Instead of the mythological names of the months, others deduced from the prevailing seasons of the year were substituted. Everything was to be based upon reason! The Notre Dame was con verted into a “Temple of Reason.” ttme. Momero, the young and beautiful wife of a Jacobin printer, was chosen to represent “Reason.” And so it went. The months were chosen and given French names which were thought to be characteristic of them. Thus, autumn had a vintage month, a foggy month and a sleety month. Winter, a snowy month, a rainy month and a windy month. Spring, a budding month, a flowery month and a pasture month. Summer, a harvest month, a hot month and a fruit month. Each month began somewhere be tween the 18th and the 22nd—accord ing to our reckoning. Thus the first month of the autumn trio began on September 22, and lasted until Oc tober 21, etc. With the reatoration of a stable government in France, this calendar was repealed, and the usual one sub stituted. But for a time, as we have seen, New Year day did not begin on January 1, in France, so late as the last century, and it does not begin on that date in non-Christian coun tries even today 1 S COUNTY SENT DOUGLASVILLE, GEORGIA', FRIDAY, DECEMBER 29., ,1922.

When the great bell of time strikes the midnight hour, and 1922 passes into the land of long ago, there is one simple resolu tion that we can ail make with pretty good surety that we cniP keep it till the next midnight chimes—thut we will lie a better man or woman in the next year than in the last. That won’t be n hard resolution to fulfill in some degree, anil if everyone is even a little better, there will he a heap more good ness, kindness, success and love in the world when 1923 rings'out that there is now. The untried yenr brings with It another chance* for all—a chance to make good where we have failed—a chance to benefit by what we have counted as failures in the yeur that is passing out. The old year has been a difficult one for many. Some have lost heart. The new year, which gives promise of so much that is better, will bring new courage and hope to them. If we can let the unhappy part of the past year go with it, anil only remember the good, It will help toward all that is best in the new. One of the best ^ings that we can hope for the untried year Is that it will he n busy one for everybody. Work is the best pro moter of goodness and bafipiness, and the best cure for trouble and sorrow that there is. When the solemn, happy bells “ring out across the snow,” let them ring out with them the bad things und ring In all that is good and true anil beautiful that is within the power of each one of us. a Weak Back Copyright, 1122, Western Newspaper Union.
