Pag 4-The Perquimans Weekly, Hertford, N.C., Thursday, January .1, 1976 , Bethel - Snug Harbor '. Ammnnihr TVTiato v By FREDA NELSON NEW YEAR'S DAY, the ... first day of the calendar year, is celebrated as a ' holiday in almost every ' country. Many churches hold special services, with parties before or after them. New Year's is a time of gaiety, and a time for visiting with friends. , Man y custom s representing New Year's Day have - existed throughout the ages; one, of which, was giving gifts. An English custom " was practiced by English : husbands who gave their wives money on New Year's Day to buy enough pins for the whole year. This custom disappeared in the 1800's, when machines were developed to manufacture ; pins. Thus, the term "pin money" was "coined" and is still used to refer to small amounts of spending money. At a recent gathering the subject of New Year's Day was being discussed in regards to superstitions relative to those present. The most interesting one ' was the belief of a "male" entering a household "first" on that day, which was suppose to bring good luck to those living in the house . for the entire year. One gen tleman told of how his parents would send him out early on New Year's Day at a very young age to visit several spinster aunts. And he still recalls the happiness Home Away From Home (EDITOR'S NOTE: The v following is the fourth ''article in an eight-part series on going to college 'released by Catawba - College in Salisbury, N.C. . ' Young people have a variety of reasons for going to college. Some want to get i an education; others have hopes of finding a mate and get an education at the same time. There are some who want a change of lifestyle and pace of living and feel they can "kill two birds with one stone" by combining the obvious need for additional schooling with the new living experience. And some go to college because it is expected of them, while some others, probably very few, go to college to get "away," far away, and that is sad. The validity of some of the reasons listed above are obviously highly questionable, but one thing is certain while you are at college, it becomes your home. The time you spend there is graphic evidence of this fact. In a junior college program, it's a two-year span; with a senior college, there are four years. Add in graduate study of one, two or three years, professional schools of two, three or four years, and you have quite a span of your life involved. Most of the time, you are there some nine months of each year, but in some cases, with the addition of summer study, you wind up with nearly 11 months of schooling out of each 12. Since college will become your "home" for the next two, four, six or eight years, you should become aware of some aspects of "home" life peculiar to community living. In this new home you have rights and responsibilities which you may exercise and carry , through. A new level of maturity is required as you take a large step toward adulthood. 'i . Several observations need mentioning. Your privacy and the privacy :-. of "others. . Dormitory living, and to a 'living, is a communal !' concept of life with a high - dependency , on mutual cooperation to make it work .satisfactorily. That means . you must be aware of and ' support the rights of others to privacy just as you want them to be concerned with . ;your privacy. The Golden '.Rule is quite applicable Jhere.

It was not established whether this supersitition still ' .exists today; however, no - one . present denied the fact that it had. How do you feel about it? . '.' ' New Year's Day became a holy day in the Christian Church in A.D. 487. Mr. and Mrs. David Cole of Durham, N.C. spent the Holidays with Mrs. Cole's parents, Mr. and ; Mrs. Lester H. Simpson of Road Landing. Visiting with the Albert Wigandts during the Christmas Holidays were their son, Albert, and his wife and their daughter from Virginia Beach, Va. Also their son, Robert, and his wife Linda from Long Island, N.Y. made a Christmas visit to their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Wigandt. Christmas dinner at. the W.V. Brabbles included their daughter and family, the J.D. Hollowells of Chesapeake, Va., and their son, Lee, and family from Elizabeth City, N.C. Visiting with the M.E. Nelsons during the Holidays were, Mr and Mrs. T.L. Dickens and their children, Nicole and Thomas, of Mechanicsville, Va., and Joseph C Dickens from College Station, Texas. T.L. and Joseph are sons of the Nelsons. Community living requires a considerable amount of tolerance and patience. In a dormitory situation, you have "cast your lot" with a large group of people, all of whom have their own little ways of doing or not doing things. Most everyone will have to modify his behavior patterns in some regard in order that the welfare and well-being of the entire group is upheld. You must pull together if each is to retain the bits of originality we all hold so precious those bits that make you, you. No one has to sacrifice anything really substantial, it's simply a matter of give and take, adjust and adapt. It is a time to be creative, understanding, and to start becoming the mature adult. Human relations is not some esoteric subject for a doctoral dissertation. It is a must in college and it boils down to your having a pretty good idea of what kind of person you are, having yourself under control, and understanding who you are. In the process, you will be more understanding of others. This is not to say you should not be aggressive or ; stand up for your feelings or - your position. It does mean that you must be ready to handle yourself diplomatically, . tastefully, firmly, and with patience.

Going to college represents, for most young people, their first substantial venture out into the world on their own. Make it work for you, be observant, creative, enjoy your college years with responsibility and good taste. You'll be a better, more well-rounded person for it. You can have a great, good, fun time in college and still be clean, decent, and considerate. This is not "pie-in-the-sky" advice. It can be done, and is being done by thousands of young people' all over the country. You will be going to college to learn, and the lessons in human relations and the experiences you'll gain in human relationships represent some of the most valuable data you'll receive in your college career. Be receptive to it, : react to it, and use it to your maturing advantage. HOLIDAYS HERE Mr. and Mrs. Charlie M.

Change In Plates RALEIGH - North Carolina motorists will see a major change in license plate registration starting January 1, 1976. Instead of purchasing a new plate for 1976, owners of , private automobiles wLLJ keep their 1975 red and white plate and will receive a validation sticker for 1976. The valida tion sticker must be placed in the upper right hand cor ner of the 1975 plate to validate it for 1976. The 1975 plates will be used until 1979 with a new validation sticker issued each year. Edward L. Powell, Com missioner of Motor January Begins Mcentennial Celebration In Tar Heel State American farmers and backwoodsmen versus British soldiers and sharp steel. An idea grown into fever. It happened 200 years ago and North Carolina played an important part in the War of the Re volution.

Powell added that there might be some confusion over the new system so the Division of Motor Vehicles is installing posters in 102 license plate branch offices across the state that explain the new system and give in structions on applying the validation sticker to the 1975 plate. Powell .emphasized hat month of the year is a fine one for the Tar Heel traveler. Near Hertford, the Newbold-White House, built about 1725 or earlier, and declared by the Department of Cultural Resources as probably the oldest house in the state, has been restored.
