The Enduring Calendar Debate Reaches 1962 Start
The letter exchange with Dr. Willard E. Edwards of Honolulu argues for a perpetual calendar that would reset the year count to zero, placing 1962 as the start of a new cycle. Edwards cites widespread adoption in the U.S. Congress and abroad, noting the calendar would modernize dating and keep time uniform across years. He asserts that Jan 1, 1962, would begin the 1963rd year, with many readers surprised by the zero-based counting. The note ends by referencing the vast U.S. population involved in health and related efforts.
