PIECES OF OUR PAST - LUCKY 13

 LUCKY 13 

  

 Leon Ross Moore did not believe in superstitions.  He thought nothing of them the day he was hurt while working as a linotypist with "The Courier Herald."   It didn't occur to Moore that he was injured at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, or the thirteenth hour in the day.  It didn't seem strange to him that he spent thirteen months and thirteen days in the hospital.  Mr. Moore even had thirteen letters in his name.  Oh, the day he was injured was, of course, Friday the 13th, 1938.  Moore remained cheerful after the accident and was never seen trying to avoid any black cats.
