(from the Latin Anno Domini—in the year of our Lord) was started by Charles III. of Germany, who affixed it to the years of his reign in 879. The Christian era begins on Jan¬ uary 1st in the middle of the 4th year of the 194th Olympiad, the 753d year of the building of Rome, and in 4714 of the Julian period. The era, and its system of dating the years preceeding the birth of Christ and dedicating the succeeding years to His greater Glory, was invented about 532 by a monk, Dionysius Ex- tingius—sometimes called Denys le Petit. • Introduced in Italy during the sixth century, the system was not extensively employed until its use was prescribed for bishops by the Council of Chelsea (Middlesex, Eng¬ land) in 816 and made its debut in world affairs under the sponsorship of Charles III, Joy, New Hope, Year Brings Sadness Superstition and curiosity prompt¬ ed the Anglo-Saxons to climb upon their roofs as the hour of midnight approached on New Y.ear’s Eve—it was believed that something might happen when the New Year burst in and everyone wanter’ to be in a position to see for himself. Perhaps more of this “something rn uappen” superstition has sur¬ vived than io immediately apparent. Almost everyone dreads the thought of being alone on New Year’s Eve: if possible, we gather our families and friends around us in our homes, in a more serious mood, an ever- increasing number of persons at¬ tend “Watch” services to greet the New'Year in prayer and meditation; and there is a universal resolve to "do better” next year. Gathering in public places, in Times Square—or its counterpart—we make as much noise as possible—presumably be¬ cause our primitive ancestors uti¬ lized noise as an expression of cele¬ bration, believing the din would keep evil spirits and influences at a distance. Joyous New Year Bells. The New Year bells have ceased to toll for the dying year and now welcome the New Year with joyous peals symbolic of the hope with which mankind looks forward to a brighter future and a better world, but the nostalgic strains of Auld Lang Sync ivve become so in¬ trinsically a part of our New Year’s F e that even th > very gayest gath- era"":; wouid be incomplete with¬ out it. inti ed, we stand before the New Ye nr with mingled sentiments, not woolly unlike the child of Long- ici ow s sonnet: “Half will ag, half reluctant to be icd. An i leave i-.s broken playthings on the t.aor, t ill gazuii; A iem through the open u. jr Nor wholly reassured and com- ("rte.i Ly pram ses of others in their stead, V> . eh. i.i'.e spiendid, may not please him more.” Health For All Organized Attack Asain. ,t TB One of the lirst diseases to become the target of an ized nationwide attack in this country was tuberculosis. At the time the attack was launch- ed early in this centruy—tuber- culosis was the leading cause of death in the United States. The death rate was almost 200 for every 100,000 persons. Ignorance, fear and supersti- tion were allies of the tubercu- losis germ. The people, as a whole, did not know that the i disease was “catching,” that it | was spread by people with active tuberculosis who coughed up germs. They did not know that i the disease could be cured. Most people had a hopeless attitude toward tuberculosis. Not un- derstanding that tuberculosis could be cured and that it could be prevented, they did to stop the terrible toll the dis- ease was taking in lives and in suffering. There were, however notable exceptions to the general in- l.iI .vjifciice toward tuberculosis. In several localities in the United States efiOvts were being made io cte:,i the tuberculosis tide and -o e;:. ighten the people concern- ;ng measures which could be taken to bring tuberculosis under control. Leaders in these local move- hicncs rea.izcd that an effective campaign ugainst tuberculosis must be nationwide and, thus, in 1G04, l-jy met in Atlantic City, N. j. and organized the .anonui 1 .iberculosis Associ¬ ation. The As eoiation from the ginning encouraged the forma¬ tion of ioca! associations to pro¬ mote tuberculosis control pro¬ grams ac ording to the needs of the particular community. Today, 3,000 associations have been formed on a local or state basis and are affiliated with the National in an organized_ nation¬ wide campaign against tuber¬ culosis. ' Since the organized attack was icunched against tuberculosis, the death rate from this disease has been cut nearly 80 per cent. This decrease cannot be at¬ tributed to any one factor, but the work of the voluntary as¬ sociations and of official health agencies has been invaluable in bringing nearer the day when tuberculosis can be eradicated. Despite progress made, this dis¬ ease still kills nearly 50,000 Americans a year. Obviously, there can be no relaxation of -Tfort in the face of this ap- paling loss of life. The people themselves have made great contributions to the campaign against tuberculosis by supporting control measures in their communities and by buying and using Christmas Seals. These Seals, sold annually dur¬ ing the Christmas season, are ihe sole support of the voluntary associations affiliated with the National Tuberculosis Associ¬ ation. Jewish New Year Is Solemn Rite Jewish people observe the New Year at a different date and with more religious solemnity than is associated with the Christian New Year. Rosh Hashana, the name of Jew¬ ish New Year’s day, may occur any¬ time between September 5 and October 5. It is one of the highest of Orthodox holy days and opens a period of penitence, prayer and charity which lasts until Yom Kip- pur, ten days later. Yom Kippur means Day of Atonement. * Traditionally, Yom Kippur was set apart as a day of atonement by Moses and elaborate ceremonies solemnized its observance until the offering of sacrifices was aban¬ doned after the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem In 70 A. D. In modern times, no other Jew¬ ish fa r t dry or festival Is as gen¬ erally and religiously observed. Services in the synagogues begin in the evening of the preceeding day and are continuous until sunset on the day itself. The souls of the dead are included in the commu¬ nity oi those pardoned on the Day of Atonement, and it is customary for children to have public mention made of their deceased parents and to make charitable gifts on behalf of their soifls. k There is, reportedly, a Book of Life wherein the name of every liv¬ ing creature is written. This Book is sealed annually on Yom Kippur. This is the reason for the customary Jewish New Year greeting, “May. you be inscribed for a happy Naw Year.” , Now is the time to renew your ] Subscription to the Times.

'T'HE -I- clock has .md the privilege of striking midnight and being the first to announce the arrival of the New Year fer onlr about six en turies. Before that, man 'Tv reiv'd the hours in severa diOrv t a a a Primitive man mea*ured the # length of a day by the mov ng shadows whi-'h reflected the inn's daily course across the heave,is. The first timepiece was probably a pole and a stone—the pole to cr.st a shadow and the stone to mnrk where the shadow fell when the sun was highest. As man became more accus¬ tomed to regulating his activities according to specific intervals of time, he devised the “water-thief.” the hourglass, and finally the me¬ chanical clock. Even the simplest “water-thief measured time accurately because a regular interval of tune passed between the moment It was filled and the moment it became empty— and this interval could be timed by the sun. The hourglass was better than the “water-thief because it was cheaper, it would not freeze Or spill and it did not require refilling. Real, mechanically operated clocks were not constructed until the thirteenth century. The word “clock” has been derived from the French “cloche,” which mean* bell, and probably owes its connection with timekeeping to the custom of ringing bells to announce the pass¬ ing of the hours.

Because, hy thinning your timber tract for pulpwood, you not only have an immediate cash return, 'j but you will greatly increase the rate at which the remaining trees will develop into repeat cash crops. Only thirteen eight-inch trees are required for a cord of pulpwood. No other forest crop will provide M you with so much return for so little effort...in so l short Trees a provide time. income not only for those who grow u and harvest them but for many of your neighbors, as well. At the Union Bag plant in Savannah 4,700 people are employed making pulpwood into finished kraft paper, bags and boxes. Each of them, on the average, supports three other persons in the family and contributes to the earnings of thousands of others employed in business, services and profes¬ sional activities/ II The growth and intelligent harvesting of trees and k their conversion into finished products add up to— j|j greater prosperity for all of us.
