A recent survey showed That 9'A per cert of the homes had calendars, and that almost half the housewives in the nation wen', to sonic place of business and asked for a calendar Oar present system o! keeping up with the rjs dates back t the era of Julius Caesar, who was responsible for leap year. Caesai consulted his trusted astronumei . Soii-enes. in the vear 46 B. C. then issued n decree abolishing the use of the lunar year and the intercalary month, thereby regulating i ire civil yeai entirely by the sun. He fixed the solar year at 365 da s. 6 hours, which tem porarily must have posed a knotty problem for the great Roman. "Six hours too many.' Julius probably said to himself -We'll fix that. We'll make the ordinary year 365 days, and make a 366-day calendar every fourth year." Since then. 46 B. C. has been kn.owii as the first Julian year. English history records that the bissextile year became known as leap year because of the reference to February 29 as a date that "leaps over" a day in the week. And leap year, we're told, is for the bene fit of some young lady, as it grants them the privilege of proposing marriage, and to oth ers leap year gives that extra day before meeting the income tax deadline 15 days hence. So maybe, leap year is not such a bad idea after all. Anyway, while a little early, here's wishing that every day in leap year will be a happy one. Saving Trees During the Christmas season we noticed more live Christmas trees were used than ever before. Even one of the schools used live trees and then set them out around the school grounds. In years to come these trees will add materially to the looks as well as the comfort of the school children. Too often thousands of trees are "slaugh tered" at Christmas time, when with a little care, they could be used as live trees and re planted. We are happy to see the practice of tree conservation growing in Haywood county. It is altogether fitting that at the celebra tion of Christ's birthday that we remember the? immortal lines of Joyce Kilmer: "But only God can make a tree."

To many the pic ture will be brighter with the New Year, but to countless millions only the gloomy out look of hunger and misery raises its spectral head. It seems such a pity with all the enlighten ment in the world, education culture, etc., that some means can't be found that will work out to the benefit of all mankind. Are we as really cultural as we would have people to believe when we condone, if not support, the greed and cupidity of the few to the detriment of the entire population. It is a blessing though that the majority of us can shed the heartaches and misfortunes of a past year like changing a dirty shirt. You can see this phenomenon on every hand at watch parties New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. too. The bright, brave eye of most everybody sparkles with gaiety and care-lessness and hope ever uppermost in the human breast. But with the passage of suc ceding days that hope seems to grow dimmer and dimmer until by the end pf the year it is completely extinguished. Wouldn't it be fine if we could keep up our courage over the entire year the way we do on New Year's Dav? r i i -na jj MIRROR OF YOUR MIND 9 :.

Some time during this year astronomers of Mount Palomar in Southern California will put into operation the 200-inch reflecting tele scope that is almost twice the magnitude of any other telescope in the world. Just what will these astronomers see when they turn this gigantic eye toward the heav ens?
