Time to die? i i t i i i i i i i i i i i i t was i i i t time.' Eleven a.m. and four p.m. are, to most Americans, just the last long drag before lunch hour and quitting time. To the British, however, those same hours are 'tea time' and heaven and earth couldn't stop or change those meals. strait-jackete- by d taboos set by 'time.'

He could read the heavens like an open book and could not only tell the time of day, but the season of the year, as well. Every phase of his life i 'Time' has been important to men of all ages and devious ways of keeping track of it have been invented. Not all bad, either.

Family is up, fed, clothed, books and brief cases gathered, the goodbyes said and she can, finally, find a moment of 'time' to pour herself a hot cup of coffee, put her feet up, and gather her wits before starting the day's chores. And, in reverse, while five p.m. is for the worker and student, it means getting busy for the housewife.

The award for best reaction has to go to Big Brave Bob, the production foreman. No way. Im not going to touch that thing. No way, was his initial reaction to promptings from the rest of the staff. He even hid behind Ethel. Then there was the day they brought the snake to the office. Normally, Thursday is a quiet day at the Green Sheet Except for the string of telephone calls from people who didnt get a paper, or didnt want one, its one of the weeks calmer days. Last Thursday morning was different. For a half hour at least, inhaling and exhaling accelerated. when the snake constrictor Thats - a boa to be precise and a colorful, chubby iguana were brought to the newsroom. Its amazing what two animals can do to alter the atmosphere of an office. Dont fool yourself into thinking that only little kids get excited when they see animals that normally are observed from a distance at the zoo. Or that men are far braver than women. No guy said, Stay back. Ill protect you by putting my body between you and the snake. Thats not to say the women in the office - were too. Couldnt beat Don, the editor, though. Quietly but quickly, he assumed a safe position in the rear, properly maintaining the editors responsibility to watch the overall situation from a distance, not becom- - all. Emboldened, Big Brave Bob actually touched the snake once again. Fear was conquered. But a snake lover, hes still not. Several days later, pictures of the incident made him shudder.

But a message remained: Little kids never grow up, just older. not gonna touch that. She did. Petted it almost like it was one of her cats. Considering her previous feelings, the gesture represented an act of unprecedented bravery. Ethel wasnt any more inclined to give the snake an even break. But she, too, ended up rubbing the boa and marveling at the unexpectedly - at least it smooth was surprising for us -- - some unexpected from this confrontation between man and beast.
