And hundreds of thousands of dollar! are tpenl annually by hundred of thousands of people who think collegiate football on New Year's Day 1 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 Jan-vary Jan-vary 1, 1902. Of course, it might have been a better idea from the California point of view If the barnstorming University of Mich' Igan had not barnstormed to a 40 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 drtv ers, the chariot races became pro fesslonal affairs after the first few ,r years, and the public lost interest. The year 1918 brought a return to collegiate football via a contest in which Washington . state defeated Brown university. Prior to dedication 61 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 seat ing capacity of 83,000. 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 muh-' muh-' roomed various 'Bowl' games from coast to coast Among the many, there art the Orange Bowl, the Sun Bowl, the Sugar Bowl, the 'Gater Bowl, Hawaii's Pineapple Bowl, and even Alaska's Ice BowL An 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. Day of Creation Is Basis of Calendar Giving Year as 5777 ; According to Jewish dogma and tradition, the Day ol 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 -9711 In relation to 1950 AD. Use 'of the notation A.D. (in the year of our Lord) was inaugurated by Charles HI 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 begins on January 1 in the- middle of the fourth year -of the 194th Olympiad, the 753rd year of the building of Rome and in 4714 of the Julian period. The Julian period, invented by Joseph Scaliger about 1583 A.D., was devUed by multiplying the lunar cycle 19. solar cycle 28 and the Roman lndiction 15. . 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-nlng'and 'begin-nlng'and the Mundane era of Alexander Alex-ander fixed that estimate at 5502 b.c.. - 7. Modern research has developed a new time clock, which utilizes the principle, of radioactivity." Wood samples now can' be radio-actively 'dated' as far back as 4.600 years, and atomic scientists hope soon to -extend their measurement, aa far, back as 20.000 years long before 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. HOLY NIGHT (i A ..

Few , city dwellers have onen grates or desire a log fire. And those living in the country find coal more efficient ' and less trou ble.'..; However, for those who have a place to burn the yule log and want one.' tradition says it should be oak, ash, olive, apple or pine. runner., the Ore on which It la placed should be kindled from a brand aaved from last year's log, and that ft should not be allowed to. go out during the night . For those determined to have the yule log, the voice of experience exper-ience says get hold of all the wood you can. Some kinds burn better than others, but reject none these days. , Ash Is highly praised by " some and can be used without being seasoned. It burns quickly, but thrdws oft great heat Poplar, on the other hand, should be seasoned season-ed or it will spark badly. ,. Elm is condemned as undesirable, undesir-able, but can be used. It is slow to get burning, but lasts a long time and brightens up when it gets going. A few logs of birch, pine or fir will help It along. - Beech and oak are among the best logs. ' Beech ' Is especially good, ' having .a pleasant aroma and a steady glow. Oak has the outstanding merit of burning slow lyy. iV-V-Vi'-, :.-. If none of these are' available, wood from all kinds of fruit trees are prime favorites for the yule log because of their pleasant smell when burning.

What can be done with the poinsettia? Most of us figure that it is easier and cheaper to throw it ,iway. However, If properly handled, it will bloom for you a second or even "a" third or fourth year. YouF can even propagate it. If you wish, and have more plants. , Give the plant a resting period around the middle of February. The florist simply lays it under the benches, but you will probably put it In your basement- Water it occasionally oc-casionally enough to keep the wood from wilting, but no more. Then, around the latter part . of May or early in June, bring it out, cut ii back rather severely, and repot re-pot It You can then put it outside if you wish in the Shade of a tree or TmTntr,an4 "watcr-tnenouch to keep it growing.
