was a great occasion for the giving and receiving of presents Oklahoma State university library sources note that kings and queens received very elaborate and expensive gifts but among ordinary people the common New Year's Day present was "pin money" This term came into use when it was the custom fot men to give their wives and daughters money for pins and knick-knacks on New Year's Day This was the only time during the year that this money was received since pins made of wire were very expensive and seldom used Instead many persons used skewers made of wood liad more amusement this past week

Jan 1 in every country but whatever the date the idea of goodwill and kindly expressed In quaint Is associated with the holiday The age of the custom of celebrating New Year's Day is not known but three thousand years before Christ the people of Babylonia kept a New Year festival called "Zalmuk" which lasted for 11 or 12 days The Romans began the year on Jan 1 with the holiday being held sacred to the two-faced god Janus who was supposed to look back on the old year and forward to the new one In England the ancient heathen priests called Druids would scrape the mistletoe from the oaks and distribute boughs or sprays of it among the people on New Year's Day With the advent of Christianity the festival of New Year was still kept but by church order the day was given over to ''prayer fasting and humiliation" It ow 4 4' 1 6 Irc Itf ft 0 4: --4 AL litil (11 k' 4 1 It 2 7 III filli 1Ifiti tlid 6: 6-5 1 44 6-7bit 0 1 4 4 Ai k4 ow 0 ot 3' 1 gfr 1 (5' Nrk Dr and Mrs Karl Davis and son
