HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES, Thursday, December 19. 1963 I 1 as mucn as we have s I ' Do We Need A New Calendar? Since man first notched a stick, the calendar has caused problems. It has lead to riots and to dissatisfactions that have caused cleavages in nations. Our own present calendar is misleading and inaccurate. This chart, from Compton's Pictured Encyclopedia, shows the problems that are encountered in determining a date based on cither the Julian or the Gregorian Calendar. The basic problem is that our year actually is 3G5 days, 6 hours, 9 minutes, 9.5 seconds long. Thus, no calendar to date has given a true measure of our year.

Early associated with churches, by medi eval times the pealing of the bells had come to signify the rejoicing of the Christmas season. An early custom was the tolling of church bells on Christmas Eve, during the hour before midnight. The tolling announced the death of Satan, and at midnight joyous peals told of the birth of Christ. In England, where bell-ringing is an hon ored, family-taught art, the tuneful bells ring out at seven-thirty on Christmas morning. It takes years of train ing and practice to learn the ringing of complex "changes," as the differ ent chants and tonal combinations are called. mm mmmmmi VWshing you all the joys and blessings of Christmas.
