Enjoy Dyngus Day!

Niagara Hobby & Craft Mart

From Wikipedia:

Śmigus-dyngus (also known as lany poniedziałek, meaning "Wet Monday", Ukrainian: Поливаний понеділок) is a celebration held on Easter Monday in Poland and Ukraine. It is also observed by Polish diaspora communities, particularly among Polish Americans, who call it Dyngus Day.

Similar celebrations are held in the Czech Republic and Slovakia (Oblévačka in Czech, Oblievačka in Slovak, both meaning "Watering") and in Hungary, where it is known as Vízbevető or Water Plunge Monday.

Traditionally, boys throw water over girls and spank them with pussy willow branches on Easter Monday, and girls do the same to boys on Easter Tuesday.

This is accompanied by a number of other rituals, such as making verse declarations and holding door-to-door processions, in some regions involving boys dressed as bears.

The origins of the celebration are uncertain, but it may date to pagan times (before 1000 AD); it is described in writing as early as the 15th century. It continues to be observed in Central Europe, and also in the United States, where certain patriotic American elements have been added to the traditional Polish ones.

John Kavulich Operates Firm While Attending High School

Binghamton Chamber of Commerce today marked the beginning of the new year by enrolling its youngest member.  He is John Kavulich, 18, who operates the Binghamton Model Airplane Co., 70 Wall Street.  The new member has operated the company for the last three years, while attending Central High School from which he will be graduated this month.  The youthful businessman was signed up for chamber membership by Heath Andrews, youngest member of the chamber's staff.

In welcoming the new member, Carleton A. Cleveland, chamber president, said: "We congratulate you for being the youngest and newest member of 1948."  He said that Mr. Kavulich "typifies the American idea of opportunity in business for the young man."  

"You have used wisely," he continued, "our free educational advantages and your self-confidence.  You have put together ambition, hard work and decision.  We admire you for your courage to go into business for yourself while still in high school.  We hope that your Wall Street address is the omen of financial success."
