THE SENTINEL - LEADER. SPARTA. MICHIGAN THURSDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1944 New Years Eve Happy New \ **ar j New V ear Greeting Festive Occasion For Native Scots Celebrant ALPINE GRANGE COMMUNITY r Christmas never aroused much enthusiasm in Scotland—but on New Year's eve the Wassail bowl goes; around, filled with savory liquid nos-1 talgically fragrant. Floating atop ihe Wassail bowl, apples stir memories of the "apple- howling" when boys switched the trunks of fruit trees petitioning 'a good howling crop": somehow, the "lamb's wool" (as the decoction of the Wassail bowl is often called) seems reminiscent of young folks rushing to the nearest spring a t t h e stroke of 12 to drink the "cream of the well"—the first one so doing, might expect good luck during the ensuing year. Handsel Monday—the Monday aft- er New Year s, is traditionally tho "big Day" for Scotch boys and girls: and. in addition to being the Scotch day of gift-giving, it is a day of feasting and gaiety. Small wonder, that families and friends gather on New Year's eve to "Drink a cup of kindness vet For Auld Lang Syne." This charming young daughter of a marine corporal is all set to wel- come the advent of 1915. Judging from her attentive look, she is wait- ing only for the 12 o'clock whistles heralding the arrival of the n e w , year. Tell Me an Indian New Years Story The ceremonial for the snow has passed, when enemies are forgiven and harsh words forgotten, a s a n e w trail has been blazed for all through the New Year's festivities. "ihe story-telling grandmother has taught the ancient chants and cus- toms through the beads of the strings of histo.ic wampum; but now she again has time to entertain the children. Gathered around her lodge-fire, they p!-iad for another story with their bright eyes and shrill voices. To satisfy them, she tells an ancient legend about the clouds. "Long moons ago when the world was first made, the sky at win- tertime was cloud'ess much as it is on clear m:dsurr.mcr days. The ground was covered with white snow and iiit- iiccs, except the p;r.cs, -.cc— bare. The cold wind whistled around the bark cabins; and with a cloud- less sky, everything above and be- low looked dreary. "The children, too, missed the green leaves and changing colors over the landscape and they gave a wish that the sky might have clouds now and then. It is true, dark-gray, fierce-looking clouds came in great masses and covered all the sky and let down snowflakes to amuse the children. But the children also wished for bright clouds a n d t h e o d bear in the sky heard their wishes. "So the old bear blew his moist breath into the heavy clouds and broke them up; he even made humps in some of them, and held on to the corners of others, until when they passed over the village, each cloud had a different shape, some like bears, some like wild cats, some like hills and even some like funny people. Ever afterward, the clouds took these strange shapes u/a likfl, all children in midwinter."—Dr. E. A. Bates, Cornell. Traditional New Year's Gifts Were Sacred The Druids distributed branches of the sacred mistletoe, cut with peculiar ceremonies, as New Year's gifts to the people ana the Saxons observed the day with gifts and fes- tivals. The Roman custom of taking gifts to the emperor was introduced into England as early as the time of Henry III. Queen Elizabeth is sup- posed to have supplied herself with her jewels and wardrobe almost en- tirely from these gifts. As late a s 1692 t h e English nobility were accustomed every year to send to the king ? purse containing gold. Under the Tudors and the Stuarts it was the habit of all classes to give presents to friends with the best wishes for the New Year. Ladies received presents of gloves or pins which were then expensive. Sometimes ins gifts were wrapped in money and from this practice we have the term "pin money." President's Reception It has been the custom from the beginning of the Republic for the President of the United States to welcome the New Year by holding a reception open to the general pub- lic. On the first New Year's day after his inauguration President Washing- ton r»p»»ned His home to receive the people. Throughout the seven years which Washington lived in Phila- delphia as the capital of the nation, he continued this custom. New Years Day Ante- dates the Birth of Christ by 452 Years The celebration of New Years on January 1 began in 452 B. C.. and therefore, contrary to logical reason- ing, had nothing whatsoever to'do with the birth of Christ. The ancient Roman calendar be- gan in, and with, the month of March: there were ten months, the last six of which were named Quin- tilis. Sextilis. September. October. November, and December—or. the Fifth. Sixth. Seventh, Eighth, Ninth and Tenth months respectively. Nu- ma added two months, January and February, placing the former a t t n e beginning of the year and February at the end. In 452 B. C.. February was placed between January and March: thus establishing the order of months as of today. The ancient calendar year did net correspond to the solar year and by the time the days cf Julius Caesar rolled around the actual and calendar equinoxes were months apart: a siiuaiion which Caesar set out to remedy. Caesar's astronomers and calen- dar experts tixed the calendar year at 365 days—and because thev esti- mated the solar year as of 365"« days—an extra day way to be add- ed every fourth year. This Julian calendar was effective, by decree of Caesar, on January 1. 46 B C. Actually, the earth toes around t h e s u n in :<65 days, 5 hours. 48 m n- utes. and 46 seconds: and by 1532 A. D., th"? Julian calendar was 10 days behind the sun. Pope Gregory XIII remedied the situation by or- dering that the calendar play leap frog and the intervening days be- tween October 5 and October 15. 1582, were lost forever. In order to prevent repetitions of the sun running away from the cal- endar and vice versa. Pope Gregory decided that a leap year should be omitted now and then: hence only those years divisible by four—ex- clusive of years numbering the cen- turies—should h?ve sfift rtays > and the ccntury-n.\ rking years shall be leap years only if divisible by four after the ciphers have been omitted. The Gregorian calendar has been officially adopted in most countries of the civilized world: however, many creeds and peoples still cele- brate their religious and traditional festivals in accordance with ancient calendars. Pre-Christian Roman inaugurated the new year by offering sacrifices to the gods, exchanging greetings, and bestowing gifts. During the early Christian ccnturies, New Year's festivities persisted and be- came so boisterous that the faithful were forbidden to participate there- in. After December 25 had been es- tablished as the day of nativity, the church made January 1 a religious festival honoring the circumcision of Jesus: the day being thus observed in the Roman church since 487, and in the Anglican church since 1549. I saw the hills of the morning. The form of the new year arise; He stood like a statue adorning The world with a background of skies; . There was courage and grace in hi» beautiful face. And hope in his -glorious eyes. "J come from Time's boundless for- ever." He said, with a voice like a song; "I come a s a friend to endeavor. I come as a foe to all wrong. To the sad and afraid I bring prom- ise of aid. And the weak I shall gird and m.eke strong. "I bring you more blessings than terrors, I bring you more sunlight than gloom. I tear out your page of old errors. And hir*e them away in Time's tomb; I reach you clean hands and lead on to the lands. Where the lilies of peace are in bloom."

" During the latter part of t h e 19*.h century the custom of making short caiis on New Year's day was in full swing throughout America. Metro- politan newspapers carried columns of " a t home" notices which, includ- ing names of social prominence and those making no such pretenr?, an- nounced hours during which visi- tors would be received: having duly received, hosts and hostesses closed their receptions to join the proces- sion of ca!lers at other "open houses."
