We celebrate New Year’s on Jan
uary 1 because 10 days have been
lifted boldly from time.
These 10 days disappeared on two
occasions. The first time was in
1582 when several countries of
Europe swore allegiance to the
new calendar created by Pope
Gregory VIII which found the world
some 10 days behind itself due to
errors in time calculations.
In order to make the correction,
the people of these countries were
asked to sacrifice the days from
October 5 to 14, inclusive. It was
essential to have October 15 follow'
October 5 by just one day, and
bravely, millions allowed it to be
so.
The second occasion, and the one
which makes the American New
Year celebration come at the right
time, occurred In 1752. It was then
th~* Tr- decided to cease
holding out against the Gregorian
calendar. England discarded the
period from September 3 to Sep
tember 13.
It was a confusing period. Social
calendars were mixed up, babies
were 11 days old after only being
alive for two day, vacations were
cut short. But it finally straight
ened itself out and today the cal
endar is on schedule.

The big event for Philadelphia on
New Year’s is the annual Mum
mers’ parade.
The custom comes down from
the early English and Swede set
tlers in the vicinity of Philadelphia.
The English cherished the tradi
tional Mummer play “St. George
and the Dragon,” while the Swedes i
were fond of masquerading in- j
formally on New Year’s eve. The
two customs merged.
After the Revolution, George
Washington replaced St. George as
the central figure of the festivities.
It wasn’t until 1901, however, that
the municipal government officially
recognized the parade.
After that, the all male parade
became a community project,
sponsored by civic and fraternal
organizations. Today it is the great
est annual event in Philadelphia’s
crowded schedule of activities.
Thousands watch the parade, which
begins in early evening and often
continues into the wee hours of the
New Year.
