Odd Beliefs About First Day of Year


-. _- 0 OPEN a bank account on
-', ''" -. New Year's Day was con-
I., '", sidered lucky in Old Eng-
land, 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 dur-
ing the months to follow. So deep
seated was this superstition in the
minds of men that even after the
festival was declared a general
holiday, many clung to the old-
time belief, and to insure work
for the coming year would set the
pace by spending at least an hour
or t'-;o in some useful pursuit.
The first day of the year has
been more generally observed than
any other holiday, and over a
longer period, as well, its observ-
ance dating back to the Druids
in Egland and to ancient Baby-
lon when it was made an occasion
for a celebration lasting from ten
to twelve days. With every nation
this holiday has been considered a
time for the expression of good
will and the renewing of old friend-
ships. The effort to demonstrate
the kindly spirit led to the custom


of making gifts, often very expen-
sive jewelry and large sums of
money. But it was not necessary to
remember one's friends in the lav-
ish way for custom made it possi-
ble also to express good wishes in
a fitting and humble manner.
Almost every nation has wel-
comed the New Year with some
form of ceremony, not, however,
on the same date or in the same
way. The Druids celebrated the
New Year on the shortest day of
the year, the time, in their belief,
when the sun, which journeyed
away from earth during the cold
months, turned homeward bring-
ing with it sunshine, light, warmth
and good cheer. The superstitions
that cluster around the day began
away back in the time of these sun
worshippers when the priests led
the people to the forests of the

New Activities Are

Planned for School


Chairman Predicts It Will Be
Most Intensive Every Con-
ducted In Gulf County

The 1950 March of Dimes will be
conducted in Gulf county and thru-
out the nation during the two-week
period from January 16 to 31,
Henry Campbell, county campaign
director, announced yesterday. He
predicted the drive would be the
most intensive of its kind in local
history.
"Recalling as we do the tragic
polio epidemics just past," Camp-
bell said, "each member of our vari-
ous March of Dimes committees is
determined that this year's fund-
raising drive to aid polio patients
must be the greatest in the twelve-
year history of the National Foun-
dation for Infantile Paralysis."
The Gulf county campaign direc-
tor revealed that plans for* cam-
paign activities are now being re-
viewed and that committee mem-
bers and others workers are receiv-
ing briefing on the work ahead dur-
ing the two-week period of the lo-
cal drive.
"The people of Gulf county have
always had the welfare of their
children at heart and have always
demonstrated their loyalty and sup-
port in the fight against the cruel
disease-infantile paralysis. In that
knowledge, your local March of
Dimes volunteers will go all-out
during the drive to make this cam-
paign the phenomenal "success it
must be," Campbell concluded.


Red Cross Nursing

Course Opens Jan. 3

Classes In Home Nursing Will Be
Taught In Several County
Communities

The Gulf county chapter of the
American Red Cross is offering free
instruction in "The Home Care of
the Sick." The program will begin
next Tuesday, January 3, and the
instruction will be offered in sev-
eral communities of the county. It
is hoped that all honiemakers and
potential homemakers will take ad-
vantage of this valuable course.
Anyone interested may contact
Mrs. George Adkins, phone 105-W,
and register for the course. Classes
are limited to 15 members, and
those who attend all six lessons in
the course will receive certificates
in home nursing from the American-
National Red Cross.
It's fun! It's fast! It's free!

Our Country Right or Wrong

THE NEW YEAR
Once again the brth of a New Year is calling
us to high resolves! The bright gleaming page
that it holds before us is stirring our hearts to
noble purpose! Ambition and earnestness have
taken hold of us as never before. And we vow
that we shall use all of the corning days ad-
vantageously.
Every New Year holds a challenge within it-
a dare to do bigger and better things. As we look
forward to the months ahead we are filled with
enthusiasm; faith and trust in ourselves and our
abilities burn strongly within us. We want to
work harder than we have ever worked before;
to plan and accomplish greater things than we
have ever put over in the past.
We look back with regret on the wasted hours
and opportunities written on the page of 1949-
there were so many chances that. we let slip by.


In 1950, we resolve, we will not do that; instead,
we will avail ourselves of every opportunity that
it may offer and seek around for others that may
be hidden in us, that we may do ourselves proud.
In greater measure, even, we make resolutions
to avoid all the little pitfalls that made us trouble
during 1949. We resolve to cut out the bad
temper that cost us much in happiness and peace
of mind; the sharp, sarcastic words that come so
easily at times; the petty deeds of unkindness
and criticism of which we may have been guilty.
This year we will try to practice the golden rule
as we have never tried before; we will try to give
our friends and our folks the best that is in us,
and we know there are many good deeds we can
do.
A bright New Year lies before us! It is calling
us to greater action and more noble and worth-
while living than any other. year has ever offered!
At midnight Saturday we step on the gas and
journey into the experiences of 1950, and in do-
ing so, express our faith and optimism by wish-
ing one and all a Happy New Year!

Looking hopelessly for a parking place on
Reid Avenue the other day, we have decided
that the old saying should be revised to "tire
tracks on the sands of time," instead of footprints
-no one walks any more.

If you feel that you misspent 1949, there's a
brand new year just around the corner you can
use better.

Most New Year's resolutions are the result of
weakness rather than of strength.

The New Year will be just like the old year
unless you have a vivid imagination.

State Files Suit To Test
Closed Mullet Season

Firm Shipping Fish In From Out of
State To Be Target
In Case

A declatory judgment as to the
'intent of the state law providing
that a fishing firm cannot have
mullet in its possession during the
closed season between December
10 and January 20 is requested in a
suit filed last Saturday in circuit
court at Pensacola by Governor
Fuller Warren, acting for the state
of Florida, against the National
Fish Company of that city.
The state's bill of complaint says
an interpretation is desired of the
law, which says possession of mul-
let five days after beginning of the
closed season shall be prima facie
evidence of violation 'of the law.
The state contends National Fish
Company has mullet in its posses-
zion and is offering the fish for sale
during the closed season.
National Fish Company contends
the mullet were taken from waters
other than the state of Florida, that
they were lawfully taken from wa-
ters of foreign states and were le-
gally imported into the state for
possession, purchase, sale and of-
fering for sale "which is not con-
trary to statute."
The suit is for the courts to de-
cide whether the state law applies
in cases such as outlined by Na-
tional Fish Company, where fish
are imported from another statue.
