CALENDAR "REFORM"
SIX WEEKS IN MONTH The Academy of Science at Moscow has approved of a Soviet project to reform the calendar by providing a five-day week in accordance with a scheme of industrial reform, which consists of a continuous working week in factories and elsewhere, including Sundays, but excluding the five principal revolutionary festivals in the year and the workers in turn will take one day's rest in every four. The number of months in the year will not be changed, but each month will be divided into six weeks. Five non-working days will be devoted to revolutionary holidays, and will not be counted in the months.
