BIZZY BONEHOUSE
For untold centuries the Npw
Year has been a time of feasting
and merry making The date has
varied over the many calendars
accepted by the science and cus-
tom of changing civilizations but
man has paused at the new date—
when pause he could—and danced
or quaffed some drink or prayed
or combined with some enigma all
of these
Why?
We would suppose that thP urge
to celebrate is the fighter's im-
pulse to laugh and scorn at the
unknown enemy No one knows
what the corning year holds No
one ever knew nor will one ever
The prophets could foresee the
doom The imprisoned never held
hope The saddened had no hope
of happiness But none is seer
none holds such a view that the
year for a person can he predicted
—exactly Or whether for him time
as we know it will cease
The celebration of New Year's
Day in our time has become a few
days of vacation frequently cli-
maxed by one riotous night —
depending upon a person's prldi-
lections or such riotous behavior
But our New Year has gradually
evolved such features as "resolu
