MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, TiIEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, JUNE 22, 1934. PAGE NINE ADVOCATES OF 13 MONTH CALENDAR Naval Observatory Expert Against New Division of Year Only Benefit Law yers, Accountants, Claim WASHINGTON, (UP) Tha IB month calendar advocatai have run Into some major opposition from the director of the United State Naval Observatory, a sea-oaptaln-sclentlst, who believes that any radical cal endar changea will be costly to American business and cause endless confusion. Such a calendar even would be tougher on seamen, would compli cate their work and might even Jeopardize their safety, In the opin ion of Capt. J. P. Hellweg, whose riutv It Is to determine the time by celestial observations and broadcast It dally, accurate to the fraction of a second. Vigorous Campaign The 13-month advocates have been campaigning vigorously for their calendar. Their 12-month opponent have battled Just as strenuously, They Insist that the 12-month cal endar has worked fairly well for a good many years now, and that any revision should be slight to prevent ehaos following any exaggerated chance. The World Calendar association, of which Captain Hellweg Is a member, proposes that the first month of each quarter, January, April, July and October, shall have 81 days and that all other months shall have 30. Each quarter would have 91 days. That would leave an extra day at the end of the year, which would be a holi day. On leap years there would be another holiday. Immediately after June 30. Business Aid The captain believes that the sim plified calendar would aid in the conduct of bualnesa and still not complicate astronomy and navigation, nor throw the regular succession of holidays, religious and otherwise, out of (fear. The 13-month calendar, on the other hand, has so many disadvant ages, ' according to Captain Hellweg, that it wouldn't benefit anyone, with the possible exception of lawyers and accountants, who might be busy un tangling business litigation. History shows, he says, that after the change to the Gregorian calendar In Eng land, more than one-third of all liti gation for the ensuing 70 years, re sulted from the change. The number "13" In the first place, he continues, is against the 13-month calendar. It la a clumsy number, difficult to use In divis ion, and unlucky. In the opinion of large sections of the population. Cap tain Hellweg says he doesn't think that people who ateer clear of "13 all their lives would find much hap piness using a calendar which would force "13" on them for a whole month every year. 1 .- Mother and Son to Graduate GLOUCESTER, Ohio.
