The celebration of New Year's Eve is a means of insuring the continuation of life. On 31 December a threat to the New Year appears in the guise of the Grim Reaper. His object is to use his scythe to kill the New Year baby who symbolizes the New Year. Noisemaking is the principal means of thwarting the Grim Reaper. When midnight arrives with the babe secure, the celebrants sing AULD LANG SYNE, "For old time's sake," to welcome another year of existence. DAVID F. TRASK
