DEMARK
1953
SUSTAINED
progress toward the international enactment of calendar reform
was reported at the Seventh Annual Meeting 15 January
1954 of The World Calendar
Association, International, held in the International Building,
New York City. Published highlights (JCR Vol. 24, April
1954) for DEMARK:
Informal
discussions of calendar reform were held in Copenhagen during
the August visit of James Avery Joyce, International liaison
officer of The World Calendar Association. He conferred at
some length with the governments's adviser on calendar reform,
who is also its UNESCO delegate and therefore fully familiar
with international procedure in matters of this kind. There
is not yet any organized movement in Denmark on behalf of
calendar revision. The Copenhagen newspapers announced in
the early summer that a prominent industrialist had made a
move in that direction, initiating a correspondence with the
International Standardization Organization and with the Secretariat
of the United Nations. apparently there have been no further
developments in his campaign. However, qualified observers
are confident that Danish delegates at this year's U.N. meetings
will be sympathetic.
