Because of the alleged unwarranted unwar-ranted and unlawful acts of the ,. defendants, Mrs. Allen charged that on Sept 4, 1945, she was arrested ar-rested on a charge of issuing a fictitious check for $11042 to the Orem Cash store. She pleaded innocent to the -charge and on Feb. 11. 1946, it was dismissed from the district - court on a motion of District At-torney At-torney George Ballif, on the grounds of lack of evidence.

The plaintiff charged that the bank . unlawfully and without notification to her, transferred $200 from her Twin Pines cafe business checking account and credited it against the note. As a result, she said, checks written against the account were rejected wnen preeemea ior payment. , The plaintiff charges that the transfers were made in August of 1945, and that under the terms of the promissory note, she did not' have to pay anything on it until the entire amount became due Nov. 16, 1945. She charges that the words "month" and "$20 per month" were written on the note after it was issued and with out her knowledge or consent. Because of her arrest, Mrs. Alien charges she suffered great humiliation, that her credit rating was seriously damaged, that her reputation in the community suffered until she was shunned by her friends and family, and that it affected her health until she suffered a nervous breakdown. She also charred that because of the affair, she was unable to obtain credit to the extent that she was forced out of business. The plaintiff seeks $25,000 gen eral damages, $5000 punitive damages and $250 attorney's fees Unlucky? Not For Me ...xi'vir-f.--"- : : .. a a - t - A v - ; ' - DAILY HERALD ' Friday.

Winsor, CAA engineer on the Provo airport dike, in an address ad-dress at the Provo Kiwanis luncheon-meeting Thursday. I Dr. Winsor, who spent more than a year in Iran on an agricultural agri-cultural development mission, declared de-clared that with modern development, develop-ment, that country might be able to produce enough food to: sustain sus-tain a population 10 times as great. Farming practices at the present time are the same as folks committee in charge of the day were Mrs. Hannah Hughes Swenson, Mrs. Hannah Hansen Swensen and Nathanial Ludlow. those, in vogue in Biblical times, he stated. At one . time Dr. Winsor and his party were the victims of desert bandits who even robbed them of the clothes -they wore. After this experience, the Iranian government insisted that Dr. Winsor be accompanied by a body of cavalry men whenever he went out on exploration trips. During his stay in Iran, Dr. Winsor found remnants of great irrigation structures, including canals and storage dams, which were probably erected more than a thousand years ago. and have fallen into disuse since that time.

Superstition's Heyday: Friday the 13th Bugaboo Back Again-The Only Onie in 1947 BT THERON H. LUKE One glimmer of hope shown through the murky clouds of superstition today for all those who fear Friday 13th. If you can get through till midnight without breaking your neck, you re okeh for the rest of 1947 it's the only time this year the unlucky com bination will occur. However, for those who really want to do their worrying in ad vance, they will have two such days with which to contend in 1948, a study of the calendar reveals. Anyway, a lot of poor innocent in-nocent black cats, whose color through no fault of their own resulted from the alley - ' - w J! J vv Policeman On Vacation Gets Parking Ticket - Sergeant Fred Loveless of the Provo police force today was convinced about Friday 13th. Now on his vacation, he walked into the Provo police station this morning bearing, of all things, a parking ticket. Laying down his 50 cents, Sergeant Lovejess remarked that he had made out thousands thou-sands of receipts on these during the past several years, and his co-workers on duty could make this one out. Another local peaceofficer nadn't encountered1 any ill luck by noon, but his fellow officers were assuring him it was a virtual certainty. Deputy Depu-ty Harry Mower of the county sheriff's office blossomed out in a pair of brilliant yellow suspenders which, the other deputies assured him, would undoubtedly dazzle some approach ap-proach ing motorist before the day was over and result in an accident. A check at press time revealed it hadn't happened yet. Friday the 13th No Joke to 3 Hurt in Mishaps Friday the 13th was no ioke today to at least three Provo residents involved in mishaps. City Recorder I. Grant Bench was ruefully nursing some possible pos-sible fractured ribs, after slipping slip-ping and falling as he prepared to embark on a fishing trip. The day was also decidedly un lucky for Edwin Krehbiel, 31, 187 East Third North, and Edgar S. Best, 36, 727 East Fourth South, involved in an intersection crash at First East and Third North this morning. Krehbiel escaped injury although his car was knocked over on its side. Best was also uninjured. Best was ticketed for failure to yield the right of way. prowling ancestry of their forefathers, (and fore mothers), moth-ers), will be given a wide berth today in particular. Also the usual ladders and other supposedly unlucky objects ob-jects will be avoided with care. History is a trifle obscure as to just when Friday started being unlucky. The day gets its name from Freya, goddess of love in Norse mythology. Our own guess is that things became a trifle sour for the gent she married the first time she burned the biscuits, or one of the other seemingly unimportant un-important trifles which mark the end of the honeymoon and things went from bad to worse until it started the ball rolling on the Friday legend. The number 13 is far more of a superstition bugaboo than Fri day. Its earliest association with ill-luck in the Christian world is the fact that there were 13 at the: Last Supper. However, even be-j fore that, non-Christian peoples looked askance at the number. Norse mythology again contiib-j uted its bit, listing 12 gods and: then Loki, who turned out to be somewhat of a rat as gods go, and made people a little leary of the next number after 12. Anyway, pull in your neck , from the, time you read this until midnight, there's plenty of chance for something to fall on it. Statistics DIVORCES GRANTED Harold Walton from Wilhel mina Walton.
