WASHINGTON (AP) -
Egypt and Israel began nego-
Composer Richard Wagner con-
sidered 13 to be a lucky number. He was
born in 1113, there are 13 letters in his
name and he composed 13 operas.
Flo Ziegfield, the late great theatrical
producer, preferred to open a new
show on the 13th. He also booked
passage on ships with sailing dates of
the 13th.
And "13" has appeared closely
associated with our country’s history.
There were the 13 original colonies. The
Seal of the United States has 13 stars
and 13 bars, the eagle has 13 tail-
feathers and is holding 13 darts. There
Carter’s reassurances about
seeking an overall settlement
and AU’s specific reference to
the Palestinians were intended
to be conciliatory.
As he welcomed them to the
White House Wednesday night.
Carter promised the Egyptian
delegates he would be "avail-
able any time I’m needed" to
expedite the talks, taking place
under a United Nations flag at
Blair House across Pennsylva-
nia Avenue from the executive
mansion.
The Egyptian delegation is
Last Supper when Jesus was betrayed.
The anicent Romans considered the
number 13 to be a symbol of death,
destruction and misfortune; and in
literature, a gathering of witches,
called “a witches-coven," always has
13 members.
Hotels rarely have a room numbered
“13.” It is usualy numbered 12A or 14.
Many real estate agents claim that it is
harder to sell a house numbered "13.”
Many believe the 13th day of the mon-
th, any month, to be the worst day to un-
dertake any new venture, such as a
marriage or a journey and that any
misfortune will be doubled if it falls on a
Friday the 13th.
Skippers of some ocean liners have
been known to hold their vessels in dock
until midnight of the 13th to allay the
fears of some of their passengers — and
maybe also their own.
And it seems as though all those

settlements, in return for peace
and normal relations, with
Egypt.
One of the lines is supposed to
run roughly 30 miles east of the
Suez Canal and the Gulf of Suez.
It will mark the closest point to
Israel at which Egypt can
station military forces.
A second line, lying from 12 to
25 miles west of the 1967 border,
will mark a demilitarized zone

“Don’ts” like: walking under a ladder,
having a black cat cross your path,
three on a match, finding a coin lying
face down, and so on.

However, not all is gloom and dispair
over superstition of Friday the 13th.
For instance, the National Society of

and Fear meets each Friday the 13th
and at the end of their luncheon there is
a mirror-breaking and a salt-spilling
ceremony.
By the way, if one does spill salt, bad
luck can be warded off by throwing salt
over the left shoulder. However, be
cautioned, the salt should not be in
shaker, otherwise bad luck may start
immediately, caused by the person
struck by the shaker. . ‘ .

And so it goes, some like the number

not even give it much thought.
But, whatever be your own feelings
about "triskaidekaphobia" — Have a
good day.
By LASH LASHBROOK
Bulletin Writer
Harken all ye who suffer from
“triskaidekaphobia" — fear of the
number “13” — tomorrow may be the
day you should not do too much of
anything, for it is not only the thirteenth
day of the month, it is Friday the 13th.
The origin of the superstitions
surrounding this day has never been ac-
curately determined and numerous
stories,' at least 13, have been told about
how it all started.
A tale from Norse mythology tells of
a feast being attended by 12 gods. A 13th
god, Luki, intruded during the meal and
one of the other gods. Balder, the God of
Good, was slain.
This, has given rise to the super-
stitign that it is an ill omen for 13 to sit
arodnd one table; that a serious misfor-
tune will fall upon the first of the 13 to
rise from the table.
Some point out the fact that there
were 13 seated around the table of the
