Labor Day
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5
idea of pushing for the observance
of Labor Day quickly spread across
the country. On Feb. 21, 1887,
Oregon passed a law to establish
Labor Day as an official holiday;
many states soon followed its ex
ample. Despite the support and
popularity of the holiday, it wasn’t
until June 28,1894, that Congress
declared the first Monday of each
September a legal observance.
No matter how you decide to cel
ebrate this long weekend — at the
beach, indoors, playing sports or
studying — remember that it was
the working class citizens of this
country who afforded us this op
portunity to do absolutely nothing.
Their movements pushed to better
the conditions of the work places
and strove to secure respect and
appreciation for those who work
hard for the country’s prosperity.

Holiday album aims
for more than cheer
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Some re
cent recordings of holiday music
may be more about stuffing
Grammy ballot boxes than stuff
ing Christmas stockings, ac
cording to a report Thursday in
the Los Angeles Times.
Earlier this summer, Warner
Bros. Records recruited more
than 100 employees to croon
about a dozen Christmas carols
for a planned commercial album,
the newspaper reported, citing
unnamed sources.
The article said that rival la
bels have characterized it as an
effort to boost the company’s
Grammy chances by qualifying
scores of insiders to vote for the
coveted music prizes.
Warner Bros, declined to
comment for the Times report
and did not immediately re
spond to a call from The
Associated Press.
Under the rules of the
Academy of Recording Arts and
Sciences, members of the group
with technical or creative credit
on six commercially released
songs — including liner-note
writers — can be eligible to cast a
ballot in the competition.
Universal President Monte
Lipman estimated that of the 100
or so staff members who chose to
sing on his employee album,
about 50 ultimately registered to
cast ballots.
He likened the labels' efforts
to a political party's move to bus
voters to the polls.
Asked whether employees are
likely to vote for their labels' own
artists, Lipman responded:
“That's like asking Bill Clinton
or any!other politician whether
they voted for themselves.”

HOROSCOPES
ARIES Just when you've given
up and think that life is a
dreary routine, a person
appears with a smile and offers
a hand for no possible reason
at all. It's impossible for you to
refuse.
TAURUS The bliss of true
romance can lead to a project
or two. Love energizes
creativity, so this is normal.
Get busy.
GEMINI Schedule your date for
tomorrow night, because you
still have a few things to do
first. Your sense of humor
should be coming back, and
not a moment too soon.
CANCER You've been using
more energy than you realize.
Do something special for
yourself tonight. The privacy
of your own home is best for
whatever you choose.
LEO It's a good time to get your
accounting straight, so make
that a priority. Later, curl up
with a good book.
VIRGO You could start getting
benefits from a rather unlikely
source. If you do the work, the
profits and/or savings will
come rolling in.
LIBRA You've been doing a lot
of thinking lately. However,
don't get so bogged down in the
thought process that you can't
move when you should. Catch
an opportunity.
SCORPIO Don't push yourself
quite so hard. You need a while
to let things sink in. As you
know, a little more planning
never hurts.
SAGITTARIUS Try to remember
exactly what you hear so that
you can pass it along to your
friends. This is a good skill to
acquire. Practice.
CAPRICORN It's important to
be respectful now, especially j*
you're winning. Don't get
arrogant. Remember, you're
not doing it by yourself.
AQUARIUS You've almost
completed the most difficult
part of the learning curve. Set
time aside for a change of
scenery and some intellectual
refreshment.
PISCES Evaluate a recent
project so that you'll do better
next time. That's always
possible, even if this latest
project was close to perfect.
