The use of lunar months was discontinued even before our present calendar came into use. Neither the number nor the length of the months is governed by any of natures laws: hence, there is no good reason why they cannot be changed as the welfare of society may require.
Only three simple chages are required.
1) First makes New Years Day an independent legal holiday. Have it fall between the last day of December and the first day of January. Do not include it in any week or month.
2) Provide another legal independent holiday for Leap Year. Have it fall between the last day of 1 month and the 1st day of the next. Do not include it in any week or month.
3) Divide the remaining 364 days into 13 months of exactly 4 weeks each, making Monday the first day of every month and Saturday the last working day of every month. The days of the week would then be permenently fixed as follows.
=========================================
Monday--1st 8th 15th 22nd--always be a Monday.
=========================================
The 2nd 9th 16th and 23rd---always Tuesday.
=========================================
3rd 10th 17th 24th always Wednesday.
=========================================
The 4th 11th 18th 25th always Thursday.
=========================================
The 5th 12th 19th 26th--always Friday.
=========================================
The 6th 13th 20th 27th--always Saturday.
=========================================
The 7th 14th 21st and 28th--always Sunday.
========================================
