Every New Year
Residents of Chatham Islands,
New Zealand, are always the first
to welcome in the New Year. This
particular distinction is brought
about by the fact that the Islands
lie just east of the starting point
of time—the Admiralty’s date line.
It is made to curve east and west
of the 180th meridian in such a
way that it lies always in tbo
ocean.
The year 1955 will leave tho
islands and race westward along
the equator at a speed of 1.000
miles per hour. At 12:01 on Jaap
uary 1, 1955, in the islands, it will
still be the last day of the year
1954 in New York and London. The
milkman will be making his 7 a.m.
rounds in New York and Big Baa
will be striking the noon hour for
Londoners.
By the time the New Year
reaches the howling mob in Times
Square, the Chatham Islanders will
be preparing to set down to their,
New Year’s day feast.
OLD TIMES
Before the revolution, New
Year’s was a gay time in Russia.
In some cities the streets were
decorated with flags and lanterns
and thronged with merry-makers.
New Year Gatherings
Are Ancient Tradition
Gathering with family and
friends to celebrate the New Year
is a custom older than when the
date January 1 became accepted
as the first day of the year.
Watching the old year out and
the new year in is one of the old*
est and most universal of all cele
brations. The ancient Romans got
together, although they celebrated
the New Year in the spring, to wish
each other health, wealth and hap
piness in the days ahead.
And, long before this time, the
Vikings built huge fires at the
turn of the year to propitiate their
fierce Norse gods.
Feasting Important
To World Observance
Of New Year
Feasting is as important a part
of a New Year celebration as of
Thanksgiving, with a good meal
on the first day of the year sym
bolizing that there will be plenty
throughout the days ahead.
The New Year's day banquet
differs as one travels around the
world. An important dish among
the Spaniards is sopa, rice cooked
with olive oil, tomatoes, vegeta
bles and meat particles. Africans
partake of cous-cous, which is
composed of wheat grains, lamb
and vegetables. Pickled greens,
raw fish, roast bird and shrimp
fritters are menu headliners in
Japan, with pickled chrysanthe
mum petals considered a special
delicacy. The Swedes temper their
feasts with a special drink, called
glogg which is a claret wine sweet
ened with sugar and flavored with
almonds, raisins, dried orange
peel, cinnamon, cloves and carda
mon. It is usually set afire before
serving.
Feasts in England and Western
Europe are similar to our Ameri
can menus, chief difference being
in the choice of side dishes. Tur
key, duck or goose make the pop
ular roast in England and in
France. Latin countries bedeck
their holiday fowl with truffles,
chestnuts and olives and (me might
find snails on the menu in France.
Merry Christmas!
It Can Be Wished
In Many Languages
“Happy New Year!”
As the year 1955 rolls westward
from the Admiralty’s date line, {
these words will ring out in many
languages.
Should you be in gay Paree, the
greeting you’d hear would' be
“Bonne Annee!’’ Down in sunny
Italy, they ’ say “Buon Capo
d’Anne!” which doesn’t sound too
different.* In Spain, it’s “Feliz An#.
Nuevo!”
If you have relatives car friends
in Germany, th£y may write, “Eia
Glueckliches Neues Jahr.” If so,
they wish you a Happy New Year.
The Swedish and Norse greetings;
are different from the ones above,
although they are almost the same.
The Swedes say, “Got Nytt Ar,**
and the Norse “Godt Nytt Aar.**
Any way you hear it, though, it
seems the same. The three words j
mean not only Happy New Year* {
but imply best wishdk for all the i
days ahead. I
