Modern Calendar Puzzles Advocate Of World Type NO SENSEB!?Dr. Martin Fleck looks over a modern calendar and wonders how It cot that way. a owe ' .1. ... ... ?" 12 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 lO 11 12 13141516 1718 19 20212223242S! 2627282930 J ?""? > Br JULIUS GOLDEN AP Newsfeaturc9 ALBUQUERQUE, N. M. _ Our present calendar is an abomina tion, says Dr. Martin Fleck, Uni versity of New Mexico biology professor. He has made himself an expert on the subject. Now he has turned salesman for the World Calendar which has been approved by the United Nations and more than 30 countries including Great Britain and Russia. "I blow my top when someone declares that our present-day cal endar is a divine document and infallible,'* he says. "It has been chanced many times. I counted 63 different chances rancing from 7,000 B.C. to 1934 A.D. and I'm sure I didn't cet them all." Fleck has been makine soeeches on the calendar for almost 15 years. He says Sen. Mundt <R-SD) has Introduced a bill in Con cress to have the World Calendar approved by the United States. Fleck bases his talks on the cal endar's "imosct on civilb.sUon". He uses believe-it-or-not illustra tions to prove his Doint For ln itance. a calendar Initiated the lirst deck of curds and started the Gvnsy occupation of fortune tell ing. The nresent calendar is not itahie. he says. "We know our blrthdate but not ?ur birthdsv. Some months have four Saturdays and Sundavs and some hsvc five makine the number if workinc davs in two months rarv as much as 12V? per cent at times." The World Calendar never chances. Flcdt savs Jan. 1 would llwavs he a Sunday, January would have 31 davs February 30. March 10 Anril 31, and so on In a 31 10-30 line. Every quarter would have 91 lays, he said, instead of the present 90 in the first quarter. 91 the second and 92 each the third tnd fourth. "Every month would have 26 working days and every day of the year would have the same date every year," he said. "Of course, this only adds up to 364 days so the 365th day would be an international holiday dedicated to peace and good will. It would not be on the calendar." Fleck says we have been living under the Gregorian Calendar in this country since 1752. "Pope Gregory the XIII started this calendar when the old Julian Calendar was out of time with the sun in 1382, but the Protestant countries didn't start using it until 1752." The change in calendars forced a drop of 11 days to bring the new calendar in tinwj with the sun. Fleck's prize yarn concerns an old Egyptian calendar. "This calendar had 52 cards ? one for each week," he said. "There was a two-way design for day and night and four symbols for the seasons, called air, earth, fire and water." Fleck says our present card decks come from this. A club on a card is just a corruption of an old five-pointed star. "Take a look at one of the Jacks, " he says. "He has a staff in his hand with lines on it. It seems that one of the sons of the Pharaoh had to measure the depth of the Nile. Also, add up all the numbers, counting the jack as 11 and queen as 12 and king as 13. The 52 cards equal 364. "For the 365th day, the Egyp tians had a special holiday card considered lucky. I'm told if you get a joker to an inside straight, it's still a lucky card." "Some Egyptian priests had a good racket by telling fortunes from the cards. They traveled to new fields and became known as Gypsies," he says. SFC Headlev Patroling Border Zone In Korea ? 24TH DIV.. HOPE A?Sergeant First Glass James W. Headley, Jr., 29 whose wife.
