Courts Bad Luck . Breaks Superstitions on 13th By JAY BRtEN New York, Oct. 12, Plui 1 U. Something terrible just hai to happen today to Nicholai Matsoukas, who doesn't believe in bad luck. He broke a mirror while standing under a ladder and kissing a blonde who had her eyes open.

Sixty 4-H clubs will also be under her direction. She is expected to arrive this week. Age any lool knows, that is courting enough bad luck to make any normal Friday the 13th seem like Christmas. MaUouka is president of the National Committee of 13, a reckless society pledged to the abolishment of superstition. He started the organization four years ago and has been putting the hammer to mirrors every Friday the 13th thereafter. As of this writing, he looks healthy enough, but you'd be crazy to take bets on today. "I got into this," he explained. "when I realized a lot of super stitions are the seeds which pro mote prejudice. " For instance, Matsoukas says a lot of Mediterranean residents believe blonde hair and blue eyes to be a sign of the devil. Conversely, he points out that in remote areas of Norway it's popularly believed that the dev il sometimes visits the earth in the form of a woman with ra ven "black hair, pearly white teeth and coal black eyes. Mar ry one of those and yoji have hell. Merely ignorance in both quarters," Nick said, "they worked that up as a devilish way of persecuting people who were different. Since he began his campaign against superstition, this rash, impetuous fellow has had some good and bad luck. j Once he got a Broadway the ater to run a special superstition-day movie on Friday the 13th. Anyone who showed up at the ticket.window at 13 minutes past the hour was admitted free. "It was a terrible bust," Nick said, "I stood on the sidewalk watching hundreds of people de liberately wait until a quarter after the hour because a sign dared them to take a chance." In 13 hours time, he says only four patrons braved the wrath of a double 13. See, It's Simple That's no peace-pipe being offered these Legionnaires in Los Angeles.

Lamport Backs GOP Ticket State Senator Fred Lamport in a statement issued Friday said that he had made no coalition with the democratic nominee for one of the two senate seats, Cor nelius Baieson. A news dispatch Wednesday announced that farmers' eo-j operative group had endorsed both Lamport and Baieson. "In reading the press reports one might infer that I am in a coalition with the democratic nominee, Corneilius Bateson to bring about his election," Sen. Lamport's statement read. Such Is not the case," he continued, "as I am one of the republican nominees for state senator and will work for and support the republican ticket in its entirety. The chairman of the farmers cooperative group approached me and offered their support which I accepted1 and for which I am deeply grateful. But I am in no way associated with Mr. Bateson, as he is one of my dem ocratic opponents." Dallas Shops Doubt Armistice Day Close Dallas Merchants commit tee of the Dallas Chamber of Commerce has recommended that local stores and business houses remain open on Armis tice day. November 11. The group met last week and voted to go on record for the opening, but at the same time made it clear that each businessman could do as he pleased about it. The action was taken because i other stores in neighboring com munities are remaining open on the holiday, according to George WoerSii, chairman. It is also felt that the holiday has lost some of its significance by virtue of the fact that the closing dates of the Jaoan and German?

He and his father R. A. Mohney, the latter a civil engineer, re turned to Salem three days af ter the accident without having a chance to fire a shot.

The father placed a turniquet above the injured member and started for the hos pital at John Day. Due to rough road conditions more than two hours were consumed on the trip. Surgery placed the hand in good condition and after two days stay in the hospital young Mohney came home with his . father. Eighteen stitches were needed to close the wound on the outside. tmrnsl NIW QUICK-MIX MCIH MOLASSES BS IKo creaming, no ft-beattnt eat (MJ mlxtni this KeUotgHiukk wajl l a.
