OCTOBER, 1969 5am Owo-s Officiates Four hundred forty six basketba!! games are a lots of ball games, and that's exactly how many varsity basketball g a m e s Sam Owens has officiated. Sam, who began refereeing basketball in 1956, will begin his 13th season with the 1969-70 year. lie is the only member of the Mid-state Association i>r* t ? ? i v? ?> i IV) AMllLAl II1C U'J[J 1X1 JU. His interest in basketball dates back to his high school days. Owens played guard on the Clinton High team ,'1'j years. In 1958, Sam, a former Clinton High half back, turned to football. His first game was at McCormick when they were host to Greenwood "B". Two years later, in 196'J, he changed The Missing Person When an absence occurs, the supervisor either has to bring in a substitute, reschedule the work, ask other employees to work / t ntn #\r n 1 Vmi? 4 i aK W ?

Since a principal of manufacturing is wages, any of the solutions to filling an nhsettt employee's f>ost is expensive from several points of view. Substitutes or extras are not ?f ftitriliLr with the job or situation as the regular employee. Re-scheduling the work isn't the answer either. The extra burden slows the department down while increasing individual responsibility. When work schedules fall to the way-side, the Company doesn't meet its deadlines and the customer doesn't get the service lie is entitled to. Working the others overtime certainly is a hardship on the employees as well as to the profit picture. And allowing a machine to sit idle worsens the profit picture even more as the overhead costs remain the same whether a machine is operated or not. Without belaboring the noint. it is clear tho nbson toeism is a serious problem. Profits are hurt when machines are idled, jobs are undone, and worlc is rescheduled.

But probably the best known of all October's special events is Halloween, that m i s t i c time when spooks and hobgoblins reign over all our festivities, and when little children (and grown-ups) let their imaginations run rampant as they don false faces and costumes to become "something they really aren't." Back of the observance of Halloween is a deeper significance than just the "spooks" and "dressing up" of our present day observance. Like most festivals that we celebrate, its beginning goes back to the far distant past when man's life was strongly influenced by belief in supernatural powers, and he worshiped them as the bestowers of favors and protections. One of the great sacrificial days set aside by the ancients to worship their deity was November 1. And on the preceding evening, October 31, they built huge bonfires to observe their ceremonials. Whe.i Christianity was born and mankind was converted to the worship of God, this same date was set aside as a feast for All Saints. /v c i u a i i y nanoween means "Holy Eve," or the contemplative hours to be ! /O r^ ~ :>;rt? j v . / ' \ v>*vv- ?

There are strong indications that a dependable vaccine against the disease will be ready for use before the next epidemic, expected sometime in the early 1070's. While the disease itself isn't particularly severe, German measles (or rubella) can have tragic effects in the form of birth damage when it attacks a pregnant woman. For a long time such effects were considered a hazard only if the disease struck during the first three months of pregnance. But recent research has disclosed a rate of birth damage as high as ten per cent in offspring of a group of women who con iraciea tne aisease in tne fourth to sixth month. This gives even greater urgency to the task of perfecting a safe and effective vaccine. With prospects now bright for a licensed vacspent in prayer and preparation for the sanctity of the occasion on the morrow. As time passed, the more serious importance of the date has been forgotten, and now Halloween is but a night of diversified hilarity. Just so the order of i; ~^J tu. ,1 iKi; \-I IclIl??Ca, clliu LUC UiU gives place to the new. But even in this there is a lesson for life. The philosophy should be that there is much good to be found in "old things." ? ??1 _ I Bran IJ s> ~vfLmJ\\ -?> /:A? .' J A" !\\\ i U \V .!> >?/\ ; \ V Lt^r 1 \y \ 'Vw vu. WJ* -v.

If the immunity conferred by the vaccine turns out to be limited in duration (this is so far an unknown quantity), booster shots will be recommended at appropriate intervals. The most recent rubella epidemic, which occurred in 1964, was the most severe in many years. Some experts believe that the next one (they occur in cycles roughly six to nine years apart) will be considerably milder. The medical profession, hoping for the best, plans to keep its vaccines moist?and handy.
