Go register." Then, to another passenger: "You read that stuff I gave you?" Taking almost a year to admit to herself that she no longer could work did not result in Mrs. Kaelin's losing any benefits, as disability checks can be retroactive for one year.

N. A. Observance Of Yom Kippur Begins Tonight What once may have been a village harvest time revel has become the Jewish Day of Atonement, celebrated tonight and Monday throughout the world. It ends the "days of awe" that began at sundown September 8 with the New Year, Rosh Hashan-ah. The Day of Atonement, Y'om Kippur, changed its character at some time after the Babylonian Exile, according to one generally respected rabbi.

"In each era of ancient Jewish history festivals were created which were bound up with the ideas, the emotions, and the conceptions of the Jews of that particular era," Rabbi Hayyim Schauss, author of the authoritative book, "The Jewish Holidays," wrote. "It was not necessary to create new holidays. The old festivals were altered and recreated; a new spiritual content was poured into them and they became new institutions." Yom Kippur is now a fast day, and the melody of the "Kol Nidre," at the evening service, is an emotional and artistic high point. Like the New Year, Yom Kippur is a time when the Jew looks inward, assessing his or her accomplishments of the year and seeking the resources to do better, having resolved to confess sins against man and God. omnmfiK minimum V-'v A I -I Enquirer Tom Hcbyard?

The signs are being installed along the Mill Creek Expressway from Paddock Road south to the Riverfront Stadium area. The system will flash messages warning of congestion or accidents and advising drivers what to do to avoid the jam. Signs will also tell when stadium parking is full. TYPICAL SIGN'S would say "Riverfront parking full use alternate parking;" or "Bridge traffic heavy seek alternate route;" or "Traffic congestion ahead exit interstate at Lincoln Park Drive." If the driver is asked to leave 1 75, additional signs will guide him back to the interstate past the congestion. The system will be programmed to deliver 12 different messages that can be used in a number of combinations.

Thirty-six possible traffic situations will be fed into the computer that will act as the "brains" for the system. A manual override of the system also will be included in case Cincinnati police should want to control the signs manually. High Voltage Systems Co. Toledo, is Installing the signs; the federal government is paying 90ro and state and local money is paying the remainder. The system will work like this: Sensors imbedded in the expressway pavement will be plugged into the stadium computer to indicate the speed of traffic.

Coupled to the sensor will be television cameras to beam roadway pictures to the computer. Using the information from the sensors and television the computer will automatically flash messages on sign boards along the expressway. Robert F. Bevis deputy director of highways for Division Eight (Lebanon) said the Cincinnati system will be one of the first to co-ordinate changeable message signs with television monitoring. "Most control systems attempt to ease traffic flow by restricting traific on the highway" Bevis aaid.

"The Cincinnati system however is designed to increase traffic by better utilization of the road."
