The Gregorian calendar is, in ef-lect, ef-lect, a revision edition of the old Roman calendar. The ancient Ro-man Ro-man year began with the month of March and ended with December, the 10th month. January and Feb-ruary Feb-ruary were added in the course of fame and the celebration of New Year's on January 1 began in 452 B. C. Continental Europe had universally universal-ly adopted the Gregorian calendar by 1700 but Great Britain, frowning upon anything originating in Rome as Popish, continued the use of the old calendar-with its legal year be-ginning be-ginning on March 25 until the confusion con-fusion arising from using a different differ-ent calendar than 'the one used by continental Europe -prompted the adoption of the Gregorian calendar In 1752.

None are so free as they who dwell on the farm, It sure is God's favorite holding many a charm. Athletics for all and the sun tan so free, Health is the motto, results you sure see. O give me a farm, a horse, garden and dog, When night time comes, let me sleep like a log. The sky for a canopy, all studded with stars, Operas can't surpass the birds, God given bars. Some work is real hard, that I will not deny, But true beauty unfolds across the blue sky. A natural art gallery from morn until night, Alluring the mind and eye with its beautiful sight. Birds talk, not gossip, but sing from the birch, If the heart is atuned, early morn is a church. God's handiwork you feel and see all around, Scenes of exquisite beauty worthy to be crowned. Neighbors are neighbors and friends head the list, With freedom sublime, and charms you cannot resist. May M. Lot REMINISCENCE We ' built such a lovely ' cottage by a little babbling brook There were three rooms and a tiny pantry and a darling kitchen nook; The curtains were starched and as white as snow; On the shelves sparkling plates stood in a row; The furniture we chose with care Good taste was evident everywhere every-where The yard was planted with fruit and flowers, Roses framed the door in per- fumy bowers Twas perfection it seemed in every way ' Yet we lived in it for but a day. No, 'tis not so strange as it may seem; You see, it all was just our dream. ANN Name of Jesus Found Carved in Palestine Urns recently discovered in a cave on the Jerusalem-Bethlehem road, believed to be the oldest ar-cheological ar-cheological record of Christianity, dating back to 70 A, D., contained the name of Jesus carved on th n It is believed that the carving was made by an eyewitness to the era cifixion. They were found on II early Christian burial urns. A sect of Hebrews, who followed Jesus, denounced Pontius Pilate, and mourned the crucifixion of their leader was believed to have left the writing on the ossuaries in the cave. , Dressed in their newest and best clothes, the youngsters bear gifts to their elders: they receive presents pres-ents and small sums of money In return. In rural communities the older children visit neighbors: switching the householder with cornel cor-nel rods, they wish him a happy and prosperous New Year. The word "surva" is repeated frequently the visitors expecting to be served with goodies but if the supply is exhausted, ex-hausted, the situation Is accepted with characteristic good humor. The holiday season climaxes on Epiphany. The orthodox priest leads a procession to the river and, commemorating Christ's baptism, tosses a cross into the water: sometimes some-times the ice has to be broken, but youths dive for the cross unhesl tantly the retriever supposedly re ceiving a special blessing. Based on estimates from deputy wardens on 39 of Utah's far-flung hunting districts, 54.4 hunters out of every 100 who went afield during the deer hunting season bagged their game, game management officials offic-ials of the state fish and game department revealed today. The estimated percentage of hunter success ranged from, a high of 957 in the Daggett county area to a low of 20 in some southern Utah districts. Estimations included deer of all sexes. In answer to the question: "Estimated number of illegal kills In your area?", 32 wardens reported a total of 1009 deer illegally felled, this number Including In-cluding a proportionately high number of illegal deer reported as having been left on the range. Ross Leonard, Utah fish and game director, pointed out that complete ...returns cn the deer shoot will not be available until the first of next year following yearly reports filed by license vendors. Jan. 10 Is the last date under state law on which vendors ven-dors have to file their reports. Meanwhile, to make the 1946 picture more complete, Leonard renewed his appeal for all sportsmen sports-men to mall in their deer cards attached to big game licenses whether or not they made a kill. Lyons First Born Welcomed Warmly . But the Son of Man hath . not where to lay his head." St, Matthew 8:20. At Foundling hospital in Lyons, France, the first infant received on Christmas Day is luxuriously welcomed wel-comed with great ceremony: the tradition contrasting the lot of the infant Saviour, and that of one of His most helpless little ones. Nola Birthplace Of Church Bells The use of church bells is said to have been inaugurated during the fifth century by Bishop Palinius of Nola, in Campania.
