Time limit for filing for 1972 wool payments January 31 is the latest date on which 1972 wool applications may be filed in order for producers to receive incentive payments in April, according to Scott Horn, chairman of the Kosciusko county Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation (ASC) committee. To file for incentive payments on 1972 marketings of wool, unshorn lambs, a producer need only provide sales documents and fill out a short application form, Mr. Horn said. Sales documents should include name and address of the seller, date of sale, net weight of wool sold, number of head and liveweight of unshorn lambs sold, gross and net proceeds, and name, address, and signature of the buyer or the marketing agency making the sale. The incentive payment price is 72 cents a pound for wool marketings with payments based on a percentage of each producer’s returns from sales. Hie percentage will be that required to raise the national average price received by producers up to the 72 cents incentive price. The ASC committee chairman also said that the U.S. Department of Agriculture has announced that the wool payment program will continue unchanged for 1973, with the same level of incentive prices. These prices are in accordance with the law which requires that support shall be at these levels for each of the three marketing years through 1973. - Traffic safety group meets Indiana state police sergeant John E.

John F. Coppes, director of the Indiana Employment Security Division, attributed the increase to seasonal layoffs in manufacturing and construction.

Communion nt Methodist church New Year's eve Holy communion will be available at the altar rail of the Milford United Methodist church beginning at 7 p.m. on New Year’s eve.

New Years — what a day!

NEW YORK (NAPS) - While you may raise a drink and sing “Auld Lang Syne” when the clock strikes 12 on New Year’s Eve, your Japanese counterpart may sip cola from America while singing “Otanjobi Omedeto Gozaimasu” (Happy Birthday To You”) —for the stroke of midnight means it’s everyone’s birthday! Celebrating the first day of a new year is an age-old custom. Nearly all peoples have marked the caning of the year. However, the time selected as New Year’s day has varied widely. The first day has been celebrated as early as the autumnal equinox, about September 21, and as late as the summer solstice, about June 21. In most European countries during the middle ages, March 25 was the beginning of the new year. And legend has it that El Cid, the great hero of Spanish liberation from the Moors, once won a great battle on New Year’s day by giving his tired horses generous gulps of sherry the night before. The Russian people, long ago, gave the new year a roaring welcome with a hundred cannon shots at midnight. In ancient China, people took a different approach to the first day. They cleaned house, paid debts and closed their shops. Then they shot off their firecrackers . . . and who can ever forget a New Year’s in Chinatown of a big American city, with its colorful procession and fiery paper dragons breathing good cheer to everyone! Near China, in old Japan, New Year’s was a time for everybody to don new clothes, take three days off from work and visit their friends. Each gatepost would be adorned with green pines and bamboo. And over each door would hang red lobsters, crabs and scarlet tangerines, standing for long life and happiness. Gypsies in Spain used to marry

on New Year’s eve. The 18th century writer George Borrow tells us that a main feature of the bridal ceremony was the feasting associated with it. Once the Gypsy couple took their vows, guests ate and sang and danced throughout the night and day. Not to be outdone, Italians just consider January Ist as part of their Yuletide festival, and so revel until Twelfth Night, 12 days after Christmas. In Vive-La France, New Year’s day is so singular that adults let Christmas pass by and exchange presents on January 1. In America today, New Year’s festivities range from gala gatherings to cozy conviviality. John Ruskin, noted 19th century English critic, once toasted the New Year in by saying: “I consider just and tolerable the drinking of sherry from dawn to dusk . . . Happy New Year.” Tradition has it that in Scotland the first one in a house on New Year’s day gets a big,'big bear hug. Why? Because he has brought the host good luck.
