ably was seized by communist

Austrian b r o t h e r-in-law. The

me. Then I kept my eyes briefly

the sergeant waded through the

sentries might have waited him
and soiled him. The island belongs
to Czechoslovakia.

Superstitions
Collide Today
In Hong Kong
HONG KONG (AP) Western
and eastern superstitions coincided
enday.
The western calendar's only
Friday the 13th in 1958 is the Day
ot Kan the day of the weapon
on the Chinese lunar calendar.
Its a most unlucky day to give
parties,- do business, sign con
tracts, get married, or lend money.
It also is a day to avoid friends
if friendship is to be- retained
throughout the year. Should two
friends meet accidentally, each
should pretend not to see the other.
Done adroitly, this may fool the
had luck devils into believing no
friendship exists, whereupon they
race madly down the street in
search of other victims.
