New Year's Day affords everyone the opportunity to bring himself good luck throughout the year. At least that is supposed to be true according to several old superstitions concerning the beginning of a new year. The "First Foot" the first person to enter the house on New Year's plays a morning significant role in the family's future fortunes. He must be a dark man to bring good luck, but if he also brings a gift and "carries in" more than he "takes out," then the house is as sured peace and plenty for a whole year. The most auspicious gifts as are a lump of coal and a red herring. Unmarried persons are advised to look out of the window on New Year's morning. If you see a man, it is a sign that you will be wed before the year is out Should you see a horse, you can have a wish, and it will be realized within the year. To see a dog is lucky, but a cat foretells worry. A little care will make it possible to bring oneself good luck for the entire year. Wear something new, if possible, on New Year's Day, but the garment must be put on when you first dress in the morning. Receipt of a gift is certain to carry luck. Wish everyone you meet "A Happy New Year," but remember when the greeting is given to cross your fingers for luck. Be sure to say "rabbits" as the first word when you wake before anyone has had a chance to speak to you. Love's progress will be aided on New Year's Day if you are careful to put on the left stocking before the right. The potency of this charm is supposed to be increased if you do all things as far as possible during the day. To open a bank account on New Year's Day was considered lucky in Old England, the custom growing probably from the belief of many centuries that whatever you do on the first day of the year will be an indication of what will happen during the months that will follow. In soma parts of England and Scotland it is supposed to be unlucky to leave a house until soma outsider hsi first entered it luck-bringe- ly New Year's Bles3ings Ancient Swiss Legend Last day of 1945. torn and they are called "watch-nig- ht services." In 1944, St. George's Methodist Episcopal church in Philadelphia held its 175th watch night service. The church was founded in 1769 and in 1770 held what has been called the first such services in America. Many other churches are holding such services today. .

The earliest settlers in the vicinity of present-da- y Philadelphia were English and Swedes. The English cherished the traditional Mummer play "St. George and the Dragon," while the Swedes were fond of masquerading informally on New Year's Eve. The two customs had merged long before the Revolution and it was customary even among the Quakers to extend hospitality to the masqueraders or give them a dole for refreshments. After the Revolution, George Washington replaced St. George as the central figure of the festivities which continued along the path of spontaneity until 1886 when the parade was sponsored by the Silver Crown New Year's association. The Municipal administration officially recognized the parade in 1901, and representative citizenry began turning out to watch and participate in the festivities. The number of organizations sponsoring the parade, the divisions and elaborateness increased thereof through the years. On New Year's Eve in 1930, 12,000 participated in the line of march down Bond street and 300,000 spectators watched the parade which lasted from early evening through the wee hours of the New Year.

MINERSVILLE n-i- ng 31 $ January Year's Eve OUT FIGHTING COMES According te Swiss legend, the Among more tradition It has long been common practice for Eastern mining people to enter the development and operation of a Utah mine, but when a Utah company goes east to open a new property, that is really news. Park City Consolidated Mines Company, a long time operator in the Park City district where Its principal product was silver, has become one of the nation's substantial producers of lead by putting Into operation the Ruth mine and a 500-toflotation mill in the southeastern lead belt near Missouri. The Southeast lead belt is currently the largest single lead producing area in the country in which are located a number of famous mines, including Mine La Motte, located by early French explorers. When Park City Consolidated secured the Ruth mine in 1941, there had been no previous production, but the Utah people have chartered the company successfully through a moderate exploration campaign and a program of mill construction and experiments. The company's owners are principally Utahns. While it is gratifying to have a Utah company enter successful operation in another field, it is a warning for Utahns to look to their metallic resources and encourage their development. The Utah company searched far and wide for a property to operate before entering the Missouri field. Several properties were examined in Utah for possible production, but Park City Consolidated went to Missouri. This does not mean that Utah's resources are becoming depleted, but it does mean that they are more and more difficult to find. The state's surface deposits of base and precious metals have long since been prospected and is necessary to probe deeper and further under the earth's crust to find them. It Is probably a fact that Utah's metal reserves have only been scratched, but It will require more courage, capital and encouragement to develop them in the future. During its period of operation in Utah the company has produced ore valued at $3,788,255.61 of which $2,021,727.86 has been paid for labor in wages, compensation Insurance, social security and unemployment taxes; 11,270,000 has been spent for supplies, equipment, insurance, power and $120,000 paid in taxes, and $387,842.47 paid for freight and umpires on ore sales. a few days ago.
