A. D. Era Started
By Charles III
The notation A.D. (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.

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.”

'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

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.

IVs the Double-Pay Crop! r
'
Why? 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.
