Japanese Fly Kites
To Greet New Year
j. Japanese Doys can tell each
t other to ‘'go, fly a kite” on New
j Year’s morning without being
I guilty of the slightest impropri
I ety because New Year's time is
kite flying time in Japan.
Feudal Japan encouraged kite
flying and, in those days, kite
flights were considered part of the
sport. Sharp pieces of metal were
attached along the kite's tail.
January Is Namesake
Of Janus, Roman God
The Gregorian month of Jan
uary is the namesake of Janus,
I the two-faced Roman god cred
! ited with ability to look backward
and forward at the same time.
( This idea is not exclusively char
j acteristic of any creed or age.
Chinese children traditionally dis
! patch the Kitchen God to heaven,
while simmering pots promise
New Year banquets.
OLD SUPERSTITIONS
Still Abound in Modem World
many superstitions surruuuuiiig
New Year’s Day still abound in
the modern world, the old prac
tices finding many adherents.
In many parts of New England
it is considered unlucky for any
one to go out of the house on New
I Year’s Day until someone has en
! tered.
To bring good luck and pros
i perity through the new year, Tex
l ans and residents of other south
i western states make a point of
including black-eyed peas on the
New Year’s day menu.
People in many parts of the
world believe that a full salt shak
er on New Year's Day is the sym
bol of a year of plenty and good !
: fortune. The superstition, it is be
lieved, can be traced to the days I
when salt was a precious item in |
the household I
'i? >£ tg '-g ’S K «g ’g tg tg
in rmgiana ana scouana n is
customary for young people to
rush to the nearest spring or well
at midnight. Whoever first tastes
the water that is drawn will have
good luck through the new year.
Another superstition prevailing
in England, particularly in the
Lancashire area, is that it is an
ill omen for a person to share a
lighted match with another on New
Year’s morning.
Frequently in Scotland funeral
services for the old year are held
during the waning hours of New
Year’s Eve.
Residents of the Isle of Man be
lieve a dark complexioned person
entering the house on New Year’s
morning will bring good luck while
a blonde visitor is the bearer of
misfortune.

Remember the rides in the old fashioned sled
With hot bricks and blankets on a soft straw bed.
The gay singing voices and bright jingling hells
On the still night air their glad message tells.
