Beware! Friday The 18th Nears

Friday the Thirteenth! To-. morrow is the day. Everybody, superstitiouS or not, and most persons are little bit wary whether they admit it or not, will be careful so as not to meet up with adverse occur srcnces. The usual warnings were on the lips of everybody in the city today. The "don'ts" were plentiful. And tomorrow will be a "don't" day.
 The most popular "don'ts" are: Don't walk under lad der; don't let a black cat cross your path; don't spill any salt; don't break a mirror and get seven years bad luck; and above all don't light your cigarettes three on a match. There arc many other ''don'ts" that must be observed and there are hundreds of persons in Waterbury who know what rules to follow.
 Tine whole feeling is that its best to be careful in crossing the street tomorrow and to be exceedingly careful in going swimming. It's "unlucky Fri day and the general warning Is ''bc carcfuP' or the boOrcy-ma will get you.
