NEW CALENDAR URGED TO END DATE MIXUPS Arkansas U. Astronomer Backs Reform in Series of Talks Here. An appointment made for Wednesday, March 26, which should be Wednesday, March 25, or Thursday, March 26, may confuse you. You do have this clew, however. If it’s with a woman it's for Wednesday, if it's with a man it's for Thursday. According to Dr. Arthur M. Harding, director of extension service at the University of Arkansas and lecturer and author on astronomy, a woman makes her appointment for the day in the week and a man for the date in the month. Dr. Harding, who appeared in the city today before the Rotary Club at the Claypool and a group of boys at Cropsey auditorium and is to lecture tonight before the Mathematics Club, says none of this confusion would result if the New World Calendar were in effect. “Nature has three clocks and no two agree to the number of days in the year,” say Dr. Harding. "We have the earth moving around the sun which gives us the year, the moon going around the earth which gives us the month and the earth rotating on its axis which gives us the day. The seven-day week is man-made and it doesn’t come out even. We live by the week and keep a record of time by the month and they don't agree.” Here’s How it Works The arrangement for the world calendar according to Dr. Harding is a simple one. It calls for a 12month year with the year beginning on Sunday, as in 1939. “Take off the last day of a 365da.v year and hold it as a year day, leaving 364 days,” he says. “These days are then divided into for periods of 13 weeks each. Let the first of January be Sunday and have 31 days in that month and 30 in February and March. April would have 31 days. April 1 will be Sunday and May and June will have 30 days. The same arrangement follows for the next two periods. “The year day would follow Saturday, Dec. 30, 1939, and be called a year day (another Saturday) 1940 and be followed by Jan. 1, 1940. On Leap Year, leap day would follow June 30.” The plan is being studied in 50 different countries and Dr. Harding says he believes it is gaining favor. Business Groups Favorable Superstition and interruption of the seven-day week are the arguments against the world calendar. Business men and especially wholesalers and transportation men favor it, says Dr. Harding, because they want to fix Easter which moves over a period of six weeks. “An average of date of Easter in the last 100 years is April 8,” he said. School children learn that George Washington w'as born on Feb. 22, 1732, but Dr. Harding admitted seeing a recording of Washington s birth as Feb. 11, 1731. He explains that Washington was born under the old Julian calendar and before England and the Colonies had adopted the Gregorian calendar. When the adoption was made they were 11 days behind and their year dated from March instead of January. The date that had been Feb. 11 became Feb. 22 in the next year. R. L.

Versailles Camp to Offer Low Wage Groups Advantages of State Resorts

July 1 Set as Opening Date for New Recreation Center. BY JOHN MURPHY Representatives of low wage groups in Indiana are to enjoy practically all the advantages of the • best state parks by July 1, if a project of the National Park Service develops as rapidly as expected. The project is a recreation camp situated on the east edge of Versailles in Ripley County in a 5500acre tract of submarginal land. As the camp develops, it is expected to include 10.000 acres. Legal objections to the park virtually were swept aside yesterday when Federal Judge Robert C. Baltzell overruled a demurrer attacking the government's authority to condemn land for the project. Plans for the establishment of the park were started two years ago when Harry L. Hopkins, Works Progress Administrator, set up the Rural Resettlement Division to retire land regarded as unprofitable for agricultural purposes. The camp Is one of two in Indiana, the other being near Winamac on the Tippecanoe river. Plan Is Experiment In establishing these parks over the nation to provide recreation for persons denied privileges of state parks and other resorts, the government worked out a comprehensive plan of experimentation and demonstration. Ultimately, after the parks have been set up and placed in operation it is the intention of the Park Service that the communities in which they have been established to assume management and operate them as their own. Versailles was selected as a camp site for three reasons. First, because it is scenic; second, because it is close to both Indianapolis and Cincinnati, and third, because it was given financial support by Joseph E. Hassmer, wealthy retired business man, who desired to do something for his home town. 5100,000 Fund Provided Mr. Hassmer gave the Park Service a deed to 65 acres of land upon which is a palatial home, to be used for an administration building, and also set up an endowment fund of SIOO,OOO to help finance the project. Splendid co-operation between the Park Service and Versailles has existed ever since the project got under way. The town also established an endowment fund to aid in the financing. A county park commission was appointed to conduct its affairs, with Ewing Wright serving as executive officer without salary. One of the chief beneficiaries

Refreshing woodland scenes such as the one here in Ripley County are to greet visitors to the national park being developed on a 5500-acre tract of submarginal land near Versailles. The project of the National Park Service is designed to provide outdoor recreation for workers in low wage groups from Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio.

among the groups to enjoy the park are to be 4-H clubs of 11 surrounding counties. N. P. A. officials are making every effort to speed along the camp so that the first group can be accommodated by July 1. Other Cities to Benefit Other groups to enjoy the privileges of the park are to be selected by social agencies here, in Cincinnati and in other cities. The agencies also are co-operating with the service in park plans and determining persons eligible for its benefits. Another co-operating agency is the American Recreation Association which is lending experienced park and camp directors to the N. P. S. to assist in both construction and operation. Work on the Versailles project has been carried on by 160 Civilian Conservation Corps enrollees and 90 WPA w'orkers. When completed, the camp is designed to have accommodations for 120 persons, which, according to experienced counselors, is the ideal size for such a propect. Campers are to be organized in groups of 30 and are to be housed in modified army barracks.
