The first day of any month is iametjt apectaL we're - much c'der. & month nearer a cherished cxr.ethir: or other or a month farther from fro me thing- we are S'.aJ to leave behind. Nut content with getting a rcj-ular -share of firit-day irr.portajtce, February greeddy ccr.trives to add to her twer.ty-elsht more-tiian-ordi nary -days, a twer.ty-rur.th. Lhia, however, tut once in five years. Thia extra-crd.nary extra-crd.nary day haa become an Insti tution Leap year. And 1240 is It Leap Year Day - or uauj awaina and capey tacnewrs there are 2to c-intrer filled days ahead, the most mo-ir.entoua mo-ir.entoua of which are February's twenty-nine. First because the long: awaited Leap Year haj finally fin-ally arrived; next because new enthusiasm Is more potent than anticipation on the wane; "and, rr.ct important of all. by the time the middle of the month Feb. 14th. and SL Valentine's day has arrived the popular wave of sentiment senti-ment has become a deluge. Put Leap Year and Valentine together and you have raractically an irresistible ir-resistible combination. It was back In the year 122S that a Scottish statute first gave legal right to . . .-"Ilk mayden laide cf bo the Mr he and lowe esUit the liberie to bespeake ye man she likes, albeit he refuses to talk her to be his lawful wyfe, he shall be mulcted In ye sum of ane poundis or less as his estate may be ... " From Scotland the movement spread. loaay men areni mulcted a pound, but there are reprisals, nevertheless, and the potentialities potentiali-ties cf the whole year are packed tr.to one brief day cf February's calendar.' . -Crowd Ho Day Feb. 2nd is Ground Hog Day. What tales the woodmen tell then! The weather man predicts, the farmer anxiously plans, the housewife does or doesn't rush into an orjry of Spring- house-clear-lngr, according to the Ground HotfB warning signs. And then airxe all cf life is made up cf contrast, we become sober ajaln. On February Srd (13241 a very rreat president of the United States died Woodrow WUscn. On Feb. 7th. 121 1 years earlier. In Suraraerhlll. New York, 4 IS 30 Millard Fillmore was born. At the age of fufty years he became be-came prcslicr.t cf the United States. On the same day twelve ears later the lndepensible Charles . Dickers, the novelist, was br.rn. February the 5th is the Mrthd-ite of another U. S. president. presi-dent. William H. Harrison (1775). Feb. the 11th is memorable as the birthdate of the nineteenth century's greatest Inventor, Thomas Thom-as A. Edison, born in Milan, Ohio. On the 12th, 120 years ago, the immortal Abraham Lincoln entered ent-ered upon a life of poverty and stress, to become his country's Idol. And here we pause to pay this great , man his tribute. UnfOln'i birthday From an old journal called, Home. School and Nation, comes this tribute: "Abraham Lincoln had everything cgainst him in his early days. Poverty, rudeness, ig norar.ee cradled him. He was born In a prairie cabin that had not a window. He passed his boyhood without the privilege of even the poorest country schools; but he prevailed. He emerged out cf this nothingness Into a character so ftrcnjj and pure, so commanding ana so winning, that a great na tion. in the hour of its sore necessity, ne-cessity, thankfully accepted him for its leader, loved him as its father, and, in the hour of his martyrdom, mourned him with' a sorrow inconsolable, named him Its saint, and wept amid the lamentations la-mentations of humanity. No greater great-er man has passed across this country . . . " And so the days march on, and true to contrast again the 14th is a gala day and not far from the things for which the beloved Lincoln stood, at that. Love, happiness, hap-piness, and charity, as exempli fied in the good Saint Valentine, are Ideals to which we cling, in theory at least. In this day. as in his time and Lincoln's. Famous Poets These dates and many more. and in between a brilliant array of poets lake their place. Among these are Sidney Lanier, famed poet of the south; Hazel Hall, one of Oregon's favorites, born on the birthdate of - Charles Dickens: Langston Hughs, poet of the middle mid-dle west; Charles E. S. Wood, Missouri, with his sharply drawn pictures; next a poet whom you will remember with pleasure, from his lyceura appearance here In Provo two years ago. William Hose Bcnet. He was born on Ground Hog Day. I wonder If he's ever written a poem about a woodchuck? He's written a poem on almost every other conceivable con-ceivable subject, why not? Amy Lowell, one cf America's greatest women poets " claims February th. By now the date should be familiar. Remember President Harrison? Then there's Edna St. Vincent MUlay, February 22nd. also a most familiar date. -How they double up. You - see! . The month is half gene and we have only Just begun. I5ut even If Edna St. Vincent Mil-lay Mil-lay (Mrs. Eugen Boissevain) hadn't been born on Washington's GERMAN: Back from successful success-ful patrol duty. 1L FINN: Grim, well fed and on the elderly side- K ..'."V, RUSSIAN: Safe from Finns, their prisoner. the FRENCH: Bewildered prisoner of the Nazis. M ., via BRITISH: Men of the Royal Navy face a touch Job. ' Fighting faces of these five warriors are mirrored 12 million fold on the battlefields battle-fields and battleseas of Europe, but most oft he actual fighting Js going on up in one corner of the contintnt. On a rectangular isthmus between Finland and Russia, Finns numbering less than 400,000 have proven themselves the war's bravest fighters by standing off the assaults of a nation with 3.100,000 men under arms. Idling in stalemate as they wait for spring are 3,500,000 Germans, 4.000,000 French and 1,000,000 Brilsh now gathered for battle in the west. Happiest Hap-piest faces are those of the captured; for them, warring days are over. s birthday we would have to pause for her. She did some of her best work In interpreting the free dom to which Washington so grandly pointed the way.. ' . : Did he on that day 131 years ago, when he was about to Become Be-come president of the United States of America, envision a world where ... . t The coarse defeats the twice refined-. .. '"-as Miss Mlllay phrases it? Certainly he knew that ... 'Love does not help to understand The logic of the bursting shell." There Is surely a broad under standing on the part of this Am erican woman who shares Wash ington's natal day. Our tribute to him should rightly ' conclude this article, so we go on to February Z3rd. the date of birth of the sixth president of the United States, in 1843 John Qulncy Adams (son of Pres. John Adams, signer of the Declaration of Independence.) Inde-pendence.) Making a total of four presidents born, and two who have died in this famous month. . Tribute To Washington- There are many other poets who could be mentioned here, but we are writing by the 'column Inch', and the list would grow ' weari some. James Russell Lowell is the last of the February poets we shall mention. And since the poets play such an important role in our gallery of fame, we will let them speak our tribute to Washington. These are Lowell s lines of praise: "Dumb for himself, unless it were to God, But for his barefoot soldiers elo- , quent, . , ' '. r , Tramping the snow to coral where they trod, Held by .his awe in hollow-eyed content: -' Modest, yet firm as Nature's self; unblamed ' 1 Save by the men his nobler temper shamed; v - : - Not honored then or how because he wooed .,.-.' The popular voice, but that he 7 still withstood; . " ' : ' Broad - minded, 'higher - souled; there is but one ' . Who was all this, and ours, and all men's Washington." Whittler said of Washington: k "His" rule of justice,' order, peace, Made possible the world's release." Longfellow's "Psalm of Life,!' written for himself, he tells us, not for publication but which inevitably in-evitably saw the light and swept the world is a "treatise on the lives of such as lend their grace to February's days. . , -:: ; ; "Lives of "freaf men all remind us We can make our lives BUbllme,; And departing leave behind us 1 Footprints on .the sands of Time.!' -g - ' -r " 3- J Lived His Parti SUBJFARJNE SUNK BY" ACCIDENT , ' ; .
