This flag was referred to in the correspondence of the day as the American colors, and may safely be regarded as the first American flag. Since the 13 colonies represented in the 13 stripes, although fighting for their rights, had not yet 71 broken entirely away from the mother country, the British Union Jack was retained to show their connection with England. Six months later, however, the ties which bound them were severed by the Declaration of Independence, and then the need for a new banner resulted in Guoronteed by !otA Good Housekeeping the doing away with the Union Jack. AND Then came the historic resolution of June 14, 1777, the stars were placed in the canton and the flag of the United States became the Stars and Stripes. The War of 1812 saw another important event taking place on New Years day. For it was on January 1, 1815, that the British made their first attack on New Orleans, and a week later occurred the decisive engagement in which Old Hickory Jack-so- n so decisively defeated Paken-ham- s veterans. On January 1, 1822, the first American settlers arrived in Texas, an event which forecast the struggle for a second war of independence in North America and the addition of the Great Southwest to the United States.

Astronomers, geologists, and scientists estimate the age of the earth at approximately three or four billion years. However, the Egyptians were apparently the first to figure out any exact measurement of time. They were astronomers, besides having the Nile which overflowed pretty regularly every 365 days. As a result, they divided the 365 days into 12 periods of 30 days each and added the remaining 5 days to the last period or months. Historians have accredited the Egyptian calendar as having been established some 4,000 years before the birth of Christ.
