One of them was up for discussion by Congress. It was presented to and received favorably by dele gates at the world security confer ence at San Francisco. Edwards sees a possibility that his per petual calendar soon may be the international calendar. Edwards, a navy veteran of action in the Pacific, outlined his plans for the calendar. It tvould simplify the present sys tem by a switch that would involve a change* in only two days. In the Edwards perpetual calen dar, the year would have 364 days Leap Year dc.y, like New Year’s day, would be an inter national holiday, completely apart from any menth. It would come following Sunday, June 31. Labor Day and Christmas, for instance, would always be on Mon day. With the possibility of a fixed Easter, there would be six three- day holidays. This, Edwards con tends, would be of great advantage in planning vacations, transporta tion schedules, school terms, and especially to business concerns. And for those of superstitious per suasion, there would be no Friday the 13th to worry about. DO YOU HAVE PROPER FIRE PROTECTION? Is your coverage adequate?

New Year Resolutions Silly So Say Psychiatrists In the opinion of some of the nation’s leading psychiatrists, the practice of making New Year resolutions is “silly.” They believe that any person going around making resolutions and informing all and sundry of h ; s decision is something of an exhibitionist and. in addition, is being childish. The experts add that these persons out the resolutions anyway.” ‘probably never carry Some agree that New Year resolutions have little .value. They feel that resolutions aren’t the-best way of cuebing difficulties and correcting one’s self. They point out that, instead, the best method is giving thought to what causes trouble and trying ration ally to correct these faults. i Children especially, the experts argue, should not be encour aged in “making resolutions.” They contend a “child should be taught to do the best he can at all times and not save his diffi culties for any particular time, and attempt to tear them all up by one superhuman effort that is almost sure to fail.” COMMERCIAL HOUSEHOLD WIRING Electrical Appliance Repairing and Electrical Construction , Work - Floor Plugs A Specialty ARNOLD M.
