Looking ahead, Rio Grande fully realizes that its marshaling yards will be taxed to serve the combined needs of the domestic economy and national defense. ..Rio Grande is prepared in plant, in equipment, in manpower to carry its share of the load.

THE DIRECT CENTRAL TRANSCONTINENTAL ROUTE fFHll TF A THING of beauty is a joy forever, a good idea is a good idea for a reasonable length of time, at least. And hundreds of thousands of dollars are spent annually by hundreds of thousands of people who think collegiate football on New Year's Day is a good idea. The fabulous Rose Bowl game started out as a supplement to the Tournament of Roses when the first east-west game was played on January Jan-uary 1, 1902. Of course, it might have been a bptter idea from the California r,f'int v of view if the barnstorming University of Michigan Mich-igan had not barnstormed to a 49 to 0 victory over Stanford. This might have had something to do with substituting chariot races for the football game in 1903. Originally run with amateur drivers, driv-ers, the chariot races became professional pro-fessional affairs after the first few years, and the public lost interest. The year 1916 brought a return to collegiate football via a contest in which Washington state defeated Brown university. Prior to dedication of the Rose Bowl in Arroyo Seco, the games were played in Tournament Park. In 1923, the bowl in Arroyo Seco was dedicated with an original seating seat-ing capacity of 85,000. Recent enlargement en-largement made it possible for a paid attendence of 100,234 in 1949. The tremendous success of the Rose Bowl classic has , 'mushroomed' 'mush-roomed' various 'Bovl' games from coast to coast. Among the many, there are the Orange Bowl, the Sun Bowl, the Sugar Bowl, the 'Gater Bowl, Hawaii's Pineapple Bowl, and even Alaska's Ice Bowl. All these 'Bowl' games are rapidly rapid-ly becoming a great American New Year's tradition, but the daddy of them all, the Rose Bowl game, continues con-tinues to be the outstanding collegiate colle-giate sporting event of the season. The Christmas program presented pres-ented by the choir on Sunday evening was highlighted by organ melodies by Mrs. Helen Allen and solos by Carrol Allen, Evan Murdoch, Howard Anderson Ander-son and Alice Harding. Several numbers were sung by a ladies quartette comprising Maurine Madsen, Cumorah Holdaway, June Allen and Carol Allen and by five little gids, Cherrie Harding, Har-ding, DeLee Clegg. Edith Ann Wells, LeAnn Holdaway and Sharon Morrill. Ross Holdaway, president of the choir, was in charge of the program. W. K. Allen is the director. Tme MIA sponsored a holiday dance in the ward hall on Tuesday Tues-day evening. A number of M Men and Gleaner girls went caroling on Saturday evening. In the party were Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Williams, J. C. Wilkinson, Le- land J. Wells, Earl Farnworth Grant and LeRoy Holdaway, Wayne and Val Hebertson, Fern Morrill, June and LaRae Allen and Janet Sundblom. Day of Creation Is Basis of Calendar Giving Year as 5777 According to Jewish dogma and tradition, the Day of Creation antedated ante-dated the birth of Christ approximately approxi-mately 3,761 years. Thus, the Jewish Jew-ish calendar, which the Jews adopted during the 15th century, reads 5711 in relation to 1950 A.D. Use of the notation A.D. (in the year of our Lord) was inaugurated by Charles III of Germany, who affixed the symbolism to the years of bis reign in 879. The system of retroactively dating the years prior to the Saviour's birth and dedicating dedica-ting the succeeding years to His greater Glory was Invented, along with the Christian era, by a monk about 532 A.D. The Christian era begms on January 1 in the middle of the fourth year of the 194th i : i j: - TJ . n J i 111 A .V. I Julian period. The Julian period, invented by Joseph Scaliger about 1583 AD., was devised by multiplying the lunar cycle 19, solar cycle 28 and the Roman indiction IS. Apparently the Egyptians were the first to figure out any 'exact" measurement of time (about 4,000 B.C.). Having devised a 'calendar,' the experts turned their attention to estimating the date of the "begin-ning'and "begin-ning'and the Mundane era of Alex ander fixed that estimate at 5502 ; B.C. Modern research has developed a new time clock, which utilizes the principle of radioactivity. Wood ; samples now can be radioactively I 'dated' as far back as 4,600 years, and atomic scientists hope soon to extend their measurements as far ( baclc as zu.uou years long oeiore the dawn of history. And there is plenty of room to go back, back, back,' since astronomers astrono-mers and geologists estimate the earth to be at least three or four billion years old. Checking Stations Report on Post-Season Hunting Figures taken from the check ing stations set up for the post season deer hunt in Cache valley reveal that 53 percent of the hunters have bagged their deer to date. According to the Board of Big Game Control this post season hunt in Cache was held to remove the surplus deer from areas where they have become a burden upon private lands. In the Blacksmith Fork area, however, it is necessary to hold the late season in order to re move some of the deer from the heavily over-grazed ranges. Pri vately owned lands in the southern south-ern part of Cache Valley are protected by a nine mile fence which holds the deer from stack yards, orchards and farm lands. In much of this section there is a shortage of browse during the winter time. Merline Mills spent Christmas Christ-mas day in Lehi with her sister Mrs. Glen Baldwn. First Day, First Moon Began Chinese New Year New Year's was a 15-day affair in old China when festivities began on the First Day of the First Moon and climaxed on "Teng Chieh", tee Feast of Lanterns. After the family gatherings traditional tradi-tional to New Year's Day, exchanges ex-changes of gifts and all sorts of entertainments en-tertainments were in order until "Teng Chieh." Northern China commemorated "Teng Chieh" very simply. Paper lanterns, hung in doors and windows, win-dows, symbolized the advent of the longer days. Southern China, however, how-ever, climaxed the festivities with spectacular lantern-lit parades fea-turinz fea-turinz huae fire-breathing dragons. supported from within by many men, wiggling through the streets. mmmmmmmmiim I I 0 Q o'o o 0' - 0 V 0A 0 rV. o, 0 .
