he

GOT
YOUR

IT'S
FRIDAY
13TH
To
some,
today
Is
Just
another
date
on
the
calendar,
but
It
is
a
period
fraught
with
all

of
unpredictable

Is
Friday

Those
who
take
stock
In
the
superstition
surrounding
such
a
calendular
combination
conceive
the
hours
as
a
procession
of
enemies
which
must
be
guarded
against
with
a
great
variety
of
rituals
and
symbols.
For

no
true
believer'
would
leave
home
In
the
morning
without
assuring
.himself
that

That
would
be
to
court

Nor
would
he
under
any
cir
cumstances
violate
any
of
the
minor
supcrstitutions
whfch
or
dinarily
one
has
a
right
to
expect
to
get
away
with.
Punish?
mcnt
would
be
sure
to
be
quick
and
dire.
Truly,
it
is
a
situation
which
no
man
should
have
to
suffer,
and
which,
actually,
has
