  _________________________________________________________
     Why would anyone want to set aside a day to honor a lowly
  little groundhog? The answer to that question is not certain, but
  a group of people get together every February 2 in Punxsutawney,
  Pennsylvania, to watch Punxsutawney "Pete" leave his burrow. What
  "Pete" does next, many believe, will indicate whether spring is
  just around the corner or a long way off. You see, in
  Pennsylvania on this date there is usually a great deal of snow
  on the ground, and the little animal has been hibernating during
  the long, cold winter, He gorged himself during the autumn months
  and then went into his burrow for a long sleep, his body fat
  helping keep him alive. But as he emerges on February 2, he looks
  very thin. If the sun is shining brightly and he sees his shadow,
  according to legend, it scares him back into his home where he
  will stay another six weeks. Should it be cloudy and gray, the
  little animal will supposedly wander around for food -- a sure
  sign that spring is near. While many believe in the groundhog`s
  predictions, it is unwise to accept them as factual.

      The First Amendment to the American Constitution declares
  freedom of the press to all men. Although this right was not
  officially adopted until 1791, the famous Zenger trial of 1735
  laid the ground work for insuring this precious freedom.

  nine months, Zenger`s wife dutifully published the newpaper every
  day, bravely telling the truth about the corrupt government
  officials sent by the king to govern the colonies.
       Finally Zenger`s long-awaited trial took place. The hostile
  judge dismissed Zenger`s local lawyers, making it necessary for
  his wife to seek out Andrew Hamilton, a prominent Philadelphia
  lawyer. Persuaded By Hamilton, the jury bravely returned a not-
  guilty verdict defying the judge`s orders for a convection.

     When buying a house, house must be sure to have it checked for
  termites. A termite is much like an ant in its communal habits,
  although physically the two insects are distinct.
      Like those of ants, termite colonies consist of different
  classes, each with its own particular job. The most perfectly
  formed termites, both male and female, make up the reproductive
  class. They have eyes, hard body walls, and fully developed
  wings. A pair of reproductive termites founds the colony. When
  new reproductive termites develop, they leave to form another
  colony, They use their wings only this one time and then break
  them off.
       The worker termites are small, blind, and wingless, with
  soft bodies. They make up the majority of the colony and do all
  the work. Soldiers are also wingless and blind but are larger
  than the workers and have hard heads and strong jaws and legs.
  They defend the colony and are cared for by the workers.
       The male and female of the reproductive class remain inside
  a closed-in cell where the female lays thousands of eggs. The
  workers place the eggs in cells and care for them.

     In recent years, there has been an increasing awareness of
  the inadequacies of the judicial system in the United States.
  Costs are staggering both for the taxpayers and the litigants -
  and the litigants, of parties, have to wait sometimes many yeas
  before having their day in court. Many suggestions have been made
  concerning methods of ameliorating the situation, but as in most
  branches of government, changes come slowly.
      One suggestion that has been made in order to maximize the
  efficiency of the system is to allow districts that have an
  overabundance of pending cases to borrow judges from other
  districts that do not have such a backlog. Another suggestion is
  to use pretrial conferences, in which the judge meets in his
  chambers with the litigants and their attorneys in order to
  narrow the issues, limit the witnesses, and provide for a more
  orderly trial, The theory behind pretrial conferences is that
  judges will spend less time on each case and parties will more
  readily settle before trial then they realize the adequacy of
  their claims and their opponents` evidence. Unfortunately, at
  least one study has shown that pretrial conferences actually use
  more judicial time than they save, rarely result in pretrial
  settlements, and actually result in higher damage settlements.
      Many states have now established another method, small-
  claims courts, in which cases over small sums of money can be
  disposed of with considerable dispatch. Such proceedings cost the
  litigants almost nothing, In California, for example, the parties
  must appear before the judge without the assistance of counsel,
  The proceedings are quite informal and there is no pleading - the
  litigants need to make only a one-sentence statement of their
  claim. By going to this type of court, the plaintiff waives any
  right to a jury trial and the right to appeal the decision.
       In coming years, we can expect to see more and more
  innovations in the continuing effort to remedy a situation which
  must be remedied if the citizens who have valid claims are going
  to be able to have their day in court.

       unable to because of the cost and time required.
   (3) The judicial system in the United States is highly acclaimed
       for its efficiency.
   (4) Pretrial conferences will someday probably have replaced
       trials completely.

       In 1971, the great Persian Empire celebrated the 1500th
  anniversary of its founding. Its founder was Cyrus the Great,
  who proclaimed himself the King of Kings. His son Cambyses
  succeeded him, conquering Egypt and expanding the empire. Darius I
  followed Cambyses and was probably the most famous of this long
  line of kings. Under his rule, the empire stretched as far as
  India. Governors were placed in charge of the provinces.
  Extensive systems of roads and waterways improved communication
  throughout the realm. He was one of a few ancient rulers who
  permitted his subjects to worship as they wished. The magnificent
  city of Persepolis, founded under his direction in 518 B.C.,was
  a ceremonial center then as wall as in the 1970's.

      In an effort to produce the largest, fastest, and most
  luxurious ship afloat, the British built the Titanic. It was so
  superior to anything else on the seas that it was dubbed
  unsinkable". So sure of this were the owners that they provided
  lifeboats for only 950 of its possible 3.500 passengers.
       Many passengers were aboard the night it rammed an iceberg,
  only two days at sea and more than half way between England and
  the New York destination. Because the luxury liner was traveling
  so fast, it was impossible to avoid the ghostly looking iceberg.
  An unextinguished fire also contributed to the ship's submersion.
  Panic increased the number of casualties as people jumped into
  the icy water or fought to be among the few to board the
  lifeboats. Four hours after the mishap, another ship, the
  Carpathia, rescued the survivors - less than a third of those
  originally aboard.
       The infamous Titanic enjoyed only two days of sailing glory
  on its maiden voyage in 1912 before plunging into 12,000 feet of
  water near the coast of Newfoundland, where it lies today.

      The Great Pyramid of Giza, a monument of wisdom and
  prophecy, was built as a tomb for Pharaoh Cheops in 2720 B.C.
  Despite its antiquity, certain aspects of its construction make
  it one of the truly great wonders of the world. The four sides of
  the pyramid are aligned almost exactly on true north, south,
  east, and west - an incredible engineering fiat. The ancient
  Egyptians were sun worshipers and great astronomers, so
  computations for the Great Pyramid were based on astronomical
  observations.
      Explorations and detailed examinations of the base of the
  structure reveal many intersecting lines. Further scientific study
  indicates that these represent a type of time line of events -
  past, present, and future. Many of the events have been
  interpreted and found to coincide with known facts of the past.
  Others are prophesied for future generations and are presently
  under investigation.
       Was this superstructure made by ordinary beings, or one
  built by a race are superior to any known today?

  (1) Families watch television together more often now than in the
      past so that they can decide whether shows are desirable or not.
  (2) Families with televisions are not as close as families without
      televisions because the former bicker more over program choices.
 (3) Although parents worry about the programs that their children watch
    they find it difficult because censorship is not what it used to be.
 (4)Because of their concern over the television programs that are aired
     many parents are deciding which programs they will allow their
     children to watch.
