Utah Hardware & Imp!. 720 NORTH STATE PHONE 0550-J1 Jnew ar Was 4S air Jn gijpt, Jlome New Year's was not always mid-winter affair. Ancient Egypt used the overflowing of the Nile as a calendar and , celebrated the New Year accordingly, in June. The Babylonians began their year in March, and the early Romans followed the Babylonian pattern. Bearing this in mind, the custom of invoking the gods of fertility at New Year's time the origin of which is lost in antiquity seems logical and appropriate. The Romans were accustomed to hanging tiny masks of Bacchus upon trees and vines, the Idea being be-ing to impart fertility to every side of the tree to which the masks were turned by the wind. In the old days, Rumanian youths went from house to house singing and wishuig everyone a prosperous New Year. " Scottish lads always had a howling howl-ing good time going about on New Year's Eve switching the trunks of fruit trees and petitioning a 'good howling crop. Reflecting the fear of starvation, peasant families in various parts of the world baked a special New Year's cake which they dashed against the door; members of the household hastened to pick up a piece and eat it, prayerful that neither hunger nor want should enter the house during the ensuing ensu-ing year. 1 . X tlolciutimi fwir 9 If Rifkt SfiMt George M. Cohan may have saluted sal-uted the great American custom of breaking New Year's resolutions, but Ernestine Evans assures us that around the turn of the century her family played the game of resolutions reso-lutions very seriously and for keeps. The game was invented by the family's Aunt Callie .whose dinners were out-of-this-world, and if you were invited to New Year's dinner, you automatically were invited to dinner on April 1.; There was one qualification, however... Aunt Callie's guests were required to write out one just one sood resolution, seal it in an envelope and deposit it with Aunt Callie. Then, on April 1, the envelopes were opened and the family, having feasted on their 'second' New Year's dinner, judged just how well the resolutions had been kept. Typical resolutions covered a wide . range of resolves looking in the dictionary before interrupting conversations by asking questions, folding one's clothes carefully at night, keeping the kindling box well filled, Aunt Lou's anti-gossip promise, prom-ise, and the elders' promises to read aloud and. teach the children to sew. It was embarrassing to have broken one's resolution before it was read on April 1; thus a lot of good habits were launched, and it was a lot of fun, too. Calends to Calendar In ancient Rome, the priest3 called the people together on the first day of every month, known as the Calends, and announced the sacred days and festivals to be observed ob-served during the month. The people checked the days on their "fasti," marking the important feasts in red. IfOU'LL BE SORRY . . .

Aircraft Workers Needed at Hill Field Aircraft workers of all kinds are urgently needed by Hill Air Force base near Ogden, to help in the vital job of supplying and maintaining a fighting Air Force. Approximately 300 va cancies now exist at the huge base, according to Lee Florence, civilian personnel officer. Needed immediately are 40 sheet metal wrkers who have completed their apprenticeship and are now ready to go to work at journeyman wages. Also needed are aircraft mechanics and aircraft wheel and brake mechanics, Florence said. "Because of its strategic location loca-tion and the importance of supply sup-ply and maintenance to keep Air Force planes in the air, Hill Air Force Base is becoming increasingly in-creasingly important to the defense de-fense of the nation," Florence stated. "More and more the Air Force is depending on Hill to get out the vast quantities of sorely needed supplies and airplanes for our fighting men." ----- - Already the state's largest single sin-gle employer, the highly skilled working force of Hill Air Force Base is being expanded to meet the increased workloads and demands de-mands being placed on the oase by the Air Force. "It is entirely possible that in the very near future we will be hiring female aircraft workers to help on our production lines," Florence said. "To meet this pos sible eventuality, we would like to receive applications from women" wo-men" who obtained their aircraft repair skills during World War II. Applications will be kept on file until authorization is received receiv-ed to start hiring female aircraft workers." . All applications for employ-! ment at Hill Air Force base should be made direct or by mail fo the Board of Civil Servce Examiners, Room 220 Post Office Of-fice Building; Ogden, Utah. Mr. and Mrs. W.
