Weather clues . . .
From Page One
"In earlier times these people's existence depended upon their ability to accurately read nature's rules, 'Standfast said.' They believed that, pretty good ways to predict the weather."
Here is one proverb some sailors believed in:
Red sky at night,
Seaion's delight:
Red sky in the morning Sailors take warning
Standfast said this proverb was true and had a scientific basis.
"The red sky at night means that the storm is passing over and the next day will be clear," Standfast said. "A red sky at morning means that there is a lot of rain in the air. Moisture refracts rays and within the next six to 12 hours it is likely to rain."
Standfast said there was always some memorable weather, a valuable folk kite of forecasting weather.
"A lot of people kid around about their arthritis bothering them when bad weather is approaching, but this is no joke," Standfast said. "When the atmospheric pressure is high, the moisture in Moisture also has an effect on the joints, causing them to be swollen and painful."
Some people believe that by observing animals and insects, weather can be accurately predicted. No scientific basis can be found for many of these observations, but nevertheless many people still believe such signs.
For instance, many farmers believe that pig can see the wind," a saying which comes from the fact that pigs are sensitive to changes.

Library policy on fines, and according to Lewis Armstrong, curator of maps, the map library rarely charges for overdue material.

Bengel did no attempt would be made to force the branch libraries to conform, and she invited their ability to deal with fines on an individual basis.
Faculty members aren't fined for overdue material and can check out material for four months instead of the usual three weeks for students.
Bengel said the faculty had resisted attempts to fine them for overdue books.
"Nobody has the clutch to make the faculty do what he said. "We work on a system of cooperation."
Faculty members are sometimes difficult to deal with, according to Bengel. A frequent problem are faculty members who loan books to colleagues. Occasionally a teacher may need help with the forgets forgets the book was loaned to and then refuses to pay for a book he doesn't have.
Each Year Watson Library collects more than $1,800 in fines for overdue books. This is the largest collection of fines in the country.
"We don't get a cotton-pickin' peny of
a finer. Tengal say." Primitively what
he says.
Another $2,000 is collected each year for lost books. Lost book fines are generally the cost of replacing a book plus a $2 processing fee. If the money is usually refunded, Bengel said.
Woman attacked Sunday night
A 28-year old Lawrence woman, found beaten and nade on a highway south of Nortonville Sunday night, was in fair condition yesterday at a Winchester hotel.
A spokesman at the Jefferson County sheriff's office said the woman was taken from a vehicle on U.S. 99 by a passing motorist. Understaffing Jerry Hundley quoted the woman as saying that she stopped her car to assist a person who had left from a vehicle she thought was disabled.
The woman said she was attacked, and he bilfold and some credit cards were missed.
Hundley said his office was seeking a suspect in the case.

weather changes -run around, squeal and are more restless before a storm.
If flies swarm into the house, or bite more sharply than usual, one can expect a storm. When bees stay near the hive or cluster closely about it, bad weather is on its way. If owls scream in foul weather, the forecast will be for fair weather.
All these weather signs have little scientific basis and wouldn't mean much to an experienced meteorologist, but many a citizen is understanding the weather by using such methods.
Charles Michener, professor of entomology, is skeptical about much of the research he does.
"There is really no scientific basis for the ideas about certain insects being able to predict the weather," Michener said. He pointed out that when a storm reacts to weather, they don't forecast it."

Regardless of today's emphasis on scientific fact, weatherlore润野 medicine as the second great group of folk beliefs and superstitions. People will always attempt to predict what tomorrow's weather will be like, whether it is by watching a television weather report or by listening to grandma's complaints about her arthritis.

YOUR CONGRESSMAN LARRY WINN SPEAKS OUT
The OPEC—Oil Producing and Exporting Countries—policy of
Fifth in a Series
One important lesson we have learned in recent years is that the view local disputes as perpetually manageable. To continue to treat problems in that outdated framework, we must danger of global disaster. If we truly hope to create international harmony, we must search for alternatives in solutions, emphasizing the importance of communication and engagement.
As a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee, I have been called in to discuss difficulties in the Middle East. In talking with King Hussein of Jordan, Prime Minister Rabin of Israel, Dr. Kissinger and others our guest, Mr. Kashif, discussed the understanding of the nature of the conflict: but, the challenge of international policy making is that we are drawing into effective measures.
using oil as a political weapon, originally designed to diplomatically isolate Israel, is now being used to alter the economic structure of the world. This poses a real threat to world peace. For the UN, this is an important condition in this situation would only compound already aggravated circumstances. However, the OPEC position and labor strenuously to convince them that the consequences of their actions are sustained by the world. Alienating the OPEC bloc, would be a serious error because we need to understand the road to interdependence.
When considering important legislation, I very much appreciate the fact that you are in the Third District. Please contact my office whenever you have an interest in a particular issue and be sure to have the benefit of your views.
