The new decade known as the EIGHTIES does not begin until Jan. 1, 1981, according to Mr. Glannin A. Cloward, President of Lifetime Calendars of Clearfield, Ut. This may be a shock to all historical programmers and to most people, but nevertheless, it is true, according to Mr. Cloward. The New York Times 79 years ago on January 1, 1901 featured this headline: TWENTIETH CENTURYS THE ENTRY! TRIUMPHANT CENTURY IS DEAD; LONG LIVE THE CENTURY! Mr. Cloward notes for emphasis the last year of the 19th Century was the year 1900, not 1899. The new century started with 1901 and will end with 2000. Both centuries and decades start with one and end wit ten (zero); they do not start with zero and end with nine. Before Mr. Clowards declaration was released to the world through United Press International and Associated Press last week, both the Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C. and the Bureau of Standards in Boulder, Colorado acknowledged his discovery as correct. If our century ends with the year 2000, we need only to back off ten years to find that the nineties will begin in 1991, and to back off another ten years, our current decade will 1981. We have erroneously celebrated every decade since the twenties one year out of gear backwards Mr. Cloward stated. This includes 1970 through 1979 with all the and historical ballyhooing programming. According to Mr. Cloward, The question now arises, what are we going to do with 1980? It is a sad and lonely year to be. A victim of uneducated tradition, dangling between a period of recorded history and unattached to the future! begin How did this happen? Well, according to Mr. Cloward, we just werent as smart as our grandfathers in 1900 and 1901. The decades of the tens and the teens slipped by. Not until the thirties did we talk about the and then the roaring twenties, economic-crise- s thirties, the war-tor- n forties, etc., and on it went through six decades of erronious time spanning using the zero numbers, 20, 30, 40 etc., as the namesake of the looms decade. Now as the century-enahead, our error comes into focus. Mr. stated Cloward that Historically, in 1582 when Pope Gregory XIII ordered corrected a discovered error of ten days which had accumulated over 1500 years of the then existing Julian Claendar, the new calendar was named after him. d I He not only corrected the slippage, but also fixed it so the creepage would not occur again. Our Gregorian Calendar is now the most accurate calendar of all time. Now after only 398 years existance of the Grogorian we have discovered an of a whole year! What President Carter does to correct it could make it the new Carter Calendar! It might be the most important calendar event of his last year in office and also of the 70's which end during 1980. Its going to be up to Mr. Carter calendar-coordinatorand his international as to what is to be done. 1. We could repeat all the decadeending ballyhooing next December and include 1980, and drop 1970 as a forgotten entity. 2. We could forget the whole thing and continue in our ignorance, leaving the problem to the High School youth and College students of today who will be in the drivers seats in 1990 and 2000 and let them wrestle with an eleven year decade. 3. Or, finally, we might include 1970 and 1980 both at the end of the year and call our recent past Calendar, error s' an historical time span "elevenacade." The Carter Calendar would be the only calendar with an "elevenacade, a unique distinction! exclaimed Mr. Cloward.
