Watch Your
Is Old Friday
In the first place, what are
you doing walking around in
the open today-
A smart man, when hr woke
up this morning, would have
shot a quick glance at the cal
endar, shuddered, flopped back
under the covers and stayed
there until midnight.
It Is if you didn't know
Friday the 13th.
But, seeing as how you're the
reckless type and intend to dis
regard foolish things like sup
erstitions, don't say we didn t
warn you. Being a family news
paper and a servant of the peo
ple, we hereby post the follow
ing warnings:
tl) Don't walk under any lad
der unless your affairs are ful
ly in order and your insurance
paid.
(2) Avoid black cats like the
measles.
(3) Don't have anything to do
with the number thirteen. There
are plenty of other nice num
bers. This will be a good basis for
missing the traditional hart luck
which comes to one and all to
day. And this idea of Friday
the 13th being an evil day is" t
only Buperstitinn. It goes bar
a long way. Many Biblkal ca
tastrophes occurred on the date,
such as the Flood and the mix
tare of tongues at the Tower
of Babel. Sailors and farmers
always look for foul weather on
the day. Of course, the way
the weather's been in Haywood
.08
recently, you wouldn t know.
