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 31 1 gods for small sprigs of mistletoe | which would bring them health and Receives Nurse's Certificate prosperity for the year.

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! NEW YEAR'S EVE DANCE SPONSORED BY LEGION Willis V. Rowan Post 116, Ameri- can Legion, will assist residents of this section to welcome the New Year by staging a New Year's Eve dance at the Centennial Auditorium tomorrow night.

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.

He was represented with a key in his hand symbolizing his power to open doors, and gate- ways, and this holiday was one of great gayety lasting several days.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1949 PGSIX TH SR POR ST OGL ONY LR 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.
