New Moon, New Year
An old bil of Almanac lore tells us thal Ihc druids celebrat
ed the irew year at the first new moon in January
Druidism was the religion of the ancient Celts and seemed
to involve some sort of worship of the sun, but in fact, we
don't know very much about them They apparently followed
a lunar calendar in which Ihc natural rhythm of the changing
seasons was an important element The time of winter sol
stice, with its short, dark days, held parlicul; ifi
the death of the old year In fact, we wondi
if they actually celebrated the new year at tl
first new moon after solstice, which, in 01
calendar, would fall in January some yeai
and in December others
n e good of other times let people
state;/I think it lucky 1 was horn so late. Ovul
S - Use dental (loss to sew buttons on clothing that gets a
lot of hard wearing.

If you are reluctant to bathe
your dog in the winter, but
Fido is beginning to look
sort of dingy, try a dry sham
poo Spread an old sheet on
the floor as a drop doth and
gently rub dry oatmeal into
the dog’s coat When you 1
brush out the oatmeal, the
dirt and grease will come out |
too Baking soda can also be
rubbed into the coat as a .
cleansing powder, and it A
has the added advantage of W
neutralizing A A
