Rough a Wish the Christmas spirit could last all year. By the time we have all recovered from the hustle and bustle we have already lost the excitement of the joyous season. So its time to renew our efforts to make the time between these special Christian times better than they were last year. Lets get on with the everyday adventures that will fill our lives in the ensueing year. My husband and I always welcomed the New Year with a glass of champagne. Heactually disliked wine in all its forms. It made him a little ill but we did it every year. I shall carry on the custom this year even if I have to do it alone. I shall also make a whole slew of resolutions. They will be very idealistic and practically impossible to keep but the effort required to try will be good for me. This is also a time for quiet meditation and reflection. Especially so this year! é B jest stay up a whole night. I don’t believe it It isa different sort of experience. Kind of eerie. KABL radio has music all night. It is quite varied and beautiful. Last night it was mostly Christmas music. Along about 4 a.m. they played the melody “Do you hear what I hear”. I ‘They say occasionally it does a person good = had forgotten the bit ‘about the great Star with the “-tail a8 big as a kyte”. Sounds like Kohoutek! Added to the eeriness of the early morning hour was the situation of writing news that will be too late for Christmas at a time when there wasn’t another thought in my head but the upcoming big event. Pr : “Yes Virginia there is a Santa Claus.”’ The expression of wonderment on the faces of the little children when they saw Santa last Friday night leaves aboslutely no room for argument on that subject. The rapturous glow on those little faces will be with me for a long time. Everyone is so busy with Christmas, including me, that. they haven’t had time to live even a little news. Seems everyone who isn’t going away to family is coming here to family. The Frank O’Neals, Sr. will have son Frank O’Neal home to celebrate. Together with daughter Joan, Mrs. Lawrence Mader and family, they will have a real Christmas family gathering. Dennis, Kenny, and Allan all have babies to bring home to visit Grandma and Grandpa and yes Mom and Pop. I like the way Marie Broadus extended her Seasons greetings. She telephoned to add her bit of cheer to the holiday. ’ Also like the way Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Bixler get their Christmas message across. They are going to see that my helper, who would otherwise be without transportation, has a ride when needed. Mrs. Conne Baer will take over while the Bixlers spend Christmas Day with their family in San Jose. Conne and her family will all be home for Christmas. Without a helper I couldn’t get away. Having such nice neighbors _ is a mighty handy thing. Had a nice Greeting from Marguerite Spaite DeBow. She seems to really miss Rough and Ready. She loves being-busy with her former friends and projects. She is living in Moraga. She does a lot of work for the Childrens Hospital. _ Met little Judy Dunn in the Postoffice last week. She is now Mrs. John Whalin Jr. and lives nd Ready News By Fay Dunbar \ > Wed., Dec. 26,1973 The Nevada County Nugget 3in Penn Valley with her husband and three little ones. For you newcomers Judys Grandparents owned and managed the Rough and Ready Toll House for years. It was not an antique shop then. The second house in that row was built specifically for Norma Howe Dunn who was their second daughter and Judy’s mother. Mrs. Art Phelps was their first daughter and moved into the first house when she married. Mrs. George (Effie) Howe was a Davey. Her grandfather built the old Anthony House, one time Butterfield Stage Stop. Now under Lake Wildwood. The Newcomers Lyric Ensemble has just finished a very exhausting but totally pleasant Helen Beatie selected and arranged the numbers for each program but one number that pleased all the audiences was Clement Moores ever delightful Twas the Night before oe as tothe heey Aap and arranged group are presently working on a program for Marysville in February of 1974. The Wm. Franks will cooperate with the Energy shortage and spend Christmas at home. Thanks to Hepsi Frank the Don Browns of Bakersfield, Hepsis Mother and Father, have offered shelter to this weary travelor if I run out of gasoline in their area. The grandson of Grant Dart, Sr. early day Rough and Ready resident, is the Postmaster at Lincoln. Grant Dart, Sr. was another pupil of the old Rough and Ready School and another friend of Martina Paulls. I often refer to the Gregorian Calendar and I have been called about it. Now it is an appropriate time to tell you about it. It is the calendar in use throughout most of the world today. It was ordered by Pope Gregory. XIII. It is the reformed Julian Calendar and is a system of reckoning time in which the ordinary year Consists of 365 days. ‘‘One day more we add to it to make one year in four.” This leap year consists of 366 days and occurs in every year whose number is exactly divisible by 4. Centenary years numbers must be not divisible by 400 as 1700, 1800, and 1900. the Julian Calendar forerunner of the Gregorian Calendar was established by Julius Caesar in 46 B.C. and was quite similar to the Gregorian. Their year was longer than the solar year by 11 minutes and 45 seconds. By 1582 this error had accumulated to 10 days. Many suggestions have been made to compensate for the difference of time that accumulates between civil reckonings and the solar system. As you know. there has been agitation recently for a 28 day month to be added ‘to our Gregorian Calendar. The advantages of such a calendar in internationally recognized and steps are being taken to have it accepted in the leading countries of the world. The seven day week used in our calendar during the history of the world comes from the story of the Creation in Genesis. There are many other systems of reckoning in the civil world. Among these are several with 4 to 5 day weeks. The most interesting other calendar though is that of the Chinese. It is supposed to have begun in 2397 B.C. Years are reckoned in cycles of 60. As you know each year has its own name. It seems we are about to accept the solar systems supremacy over the time of day too. Mother Nature keeps us busy trying to keep up with her. No matter what we put on paper she will have the last word. Happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year. _ Sierra dean in U.S. assembly Richard F.
