He shuffled his legs, then reshuf fled them; scratched the left el bow, then the right. He knew his time was coming. His cracking voice was loud and easy to hear above the noise of the laundromat's washers. He talked to anyone who happened to be waiting for their Sunday night washing to stop spinning in the machine. You could tell he wasn't waiting for laundry. You might have thought the holiday spirit prompted him to wear that loud green and red jacket, except it was dirty and ill-fitting and the week-old stubble on his face scratched against the wool each time he burrowed his chin into it. He was easy to talk to or listen to: It was cold, Carolina students ' aren't as friendly as they once were. Franklin Street was nicely decorated. It was cold, colder than last year. He didn't ask for anything. He just sat talking and fidgeting. He knew it was coming. His pants were mud-streaked. Maybe he'd spent some time re cently as a field hand or a day laborer. Maybe it was from sleep ing in a dirty alley when the weather was warmer. He didn't ask that favorite col- Eclipse Will Change Moon From Green Cheese To Red i V , 1lfl ' ' I 1 r1 1 fji&0, ..

SHULTON The moon may appear to change its traditional green cheese color to a deep red in a total lunar eclipse beginning at 3 p.m. Friday. "All North Carolinians and most residents of the southeast ern United States should be able to see the eclipse if the weather is clear then," says Donald Hall, assistant director of Morehead Planetarium. An eclipse is caused by the moon passing into the shadow of the earth, so that it cannot re flect the light of the sun as it usually does. The sun seems to be completely darkened when it is eclipsed by the moon, but the moon may appear to change colors when it is eclipsed by the earth. "This is because the earth's atmosphere bends red lights from the sun more than other colors," Hall explains. "This red light shines on the moon and is re flected back to us, even though JZT If you got a Honda for Christmas, havo it serviced at Open Road in Durham and if Santa doesn't know vhere to get your Honda, let him know that Open Road is the place to go. 0PEU ROAD, Inc. 117 Morgan St. Durham 681-6116 -ii ii ii " I Vi irJ .a mil n --nil i i urn .. iiftimifaafTrT mi.-iil! nil iinriinir 1--- - I --w . - - - x - j , -v i o ;4 nut. n r . v JTM S i uy i T x ' X'-'- v ' " r r II i If if HI VM ai ...a,.-,,X'.-.v.,.v.,.v.w,,j IS - ' : i I .

By 11:16 p.m., the moon will be completely out of the earth's shadow. lege town question, 'mere're you from?" Nobody asked him either. He was nervous, but he seemed nappy in the warm building. He glanced toward the door and saw a man enter. The happi ness vanished. He dropped his nead and lowered his voice. His time was almost up and the seconds in the warm all-night laundromat drew fewer with each pep the policeman took toward him. The big, blue-clad man didn't walk right up. Instead he play ed with a few machine handles and checked the door knob. . He stalled like a kid crying to buy time before he had to take medicine. But he had to do it. It was a cop's job. "Washing tonight?" he asked. "I'll leave," the old fellow re plied, not bothering to answer uie question. He pulled up his collar and strayed out into the windy night. A student followed him.

He took the change and walk ed down the street past a restau rant door where two youths, prob ably students, sat with a tin cup placed on a paper which read, "We need 20 cents." The sign didn't say if it was for cof fee or beer. Inside the laundromat a stu dent smiled and leaned forward in his seat. "Hey," he told two others, "one time in a town up north this fellow walked up to me on the street and said, 'Bud dy, I won't kid ya I don't want no soup. I got 60 cents and need 10 more for a bottle of Thunder bird. Give it to me'?" He said he did.

The object of our concern was a small, wedge-shaped mollusk found in southern waters where we planned to lay telephone cables. Like others of its genus Martesia (of the family Pholadidae) it is a borer. Usually it bores into limestone or some other substance to find a home. Would it could it bore into our undersea cables? At the time, we were testing the performances of proposed dielectric materials for undersea cables at various simulated depths, temperatures and ocean pressures. We also tested for resistance to marine biological attack. The testing showed that our cable covering wouldn't be attractive to pholads, and in nearly fifteen years of experience with undersea telephone cables we have peacefully shared the ocean bottom with them. But we had to be sure we could. In the telephone business; reliability is everything. We must do all we can to safeguard service from interruption. No threat is too small to ignore, not even that posed by a tiny mollusk. Right now we've got other problems. Out in the Dakotas, hungry squirrels and field mice are nibbling on our wires. We have to run. Bell System American Telephone and Telegraph Co. and Associated Companies
