quarters gone and New Years and
Christmas 81 seems like yester-
day. Why is it that when you're
very young you are always wish
ing your life away, and when you
mature, it seems as though life
slips by so very, very fast.
Today is big holiday for those
of the Jewish faith. 1t is Yom
Kippar, which as you probably
know is the day of atonement. 1t
would be well if others had a few
days in each year when they
could atone for their sins, those
apparent and the ones on their
consciousness.
Also, as you probably noticed, a
lee of our stores were closed to-
day observing this holiday. Well
don't say we didn't warn you, and
we hope it didn't cause you too
much inconvenience. Tomorrow is
another day, and all stores will be
open we promise you!

As | said politics does make
strange bedfellows, and real
scoop for any newspaper is the
