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.
