' 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.

Bells, Bells
Through the ages,
bells have served many
purposes announcing
the approach of vehi
cles, for instance, or sig
naling the beginning of
curfew. 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.
