String is most useful when it is strong, or sometimes when it is strung.

There is an easier way to read data from a file, if that file can be
suitably prepared :

In the main page, something like

<script type="text/javascript" src="chron16.js"></script>

and in adjacent file chron16.js, for example,

var clndr = [,
  msg01,
  msg02,
  ...
  msg53 ]
where each msg is a string literal (or, more elegantly, an Object of
strings) -

together with any other variables wanted.
