Page 4A The Anniston Star, Sunday, Oct. 26, 1986 Cable car jumps tracks, nine hurt SAN FRANCISCO (AP) A cable car filled with passengers bound for Fisherman's Wharf jumped its tracks and nine people were injured, authorities said. The cause of the accident was under investigation, but an early theory being considered by the Municipal Railway was a possible de fect in the slot blade, according to spokesman George Newkirk. The blade and a grip extend from the cable car down through a slot in the pavement to grab the moving cable that propels the cable cars. The cable car on the Powell-Hyde Line remained upright after it derailed Friday evening.

The change officially occurred 'at 2 a.m. Sunday, when clocks should have been set back to 1 a.m. The most immediate effect is an extra hour of sleep for most folks and an extra hour of work for those on the night shift. For the few who forgot, it likely meant arriving an hour early for church or other morning activities. In the long run.

the change'meahs less evening light for outdoor activities but more in the morning for traveling to school and work or doing chores. This season, standard time won't last as long as it has in past 'years. Thanks to tinkering by Congress, daylight saving time will return on April 5. 1987, three weeks earlier than usual. These twice-a-year changes confuse many Americans, but today's time system is vastly simpler than timekeeping in the 19th century.

The current system of standard time took effect on Nov 18. providing the first uniform national system of time. Before that, lime was purely local, with each city and town setting its. public clock according to the passage of the sun overhead at noontime. Thus, each hour was marked in Albany, N.Y..

one minute and one second before it occurred in New City. And the same hour would be marked in Baltimore. 10 minutes and 27 seconds later. Sacramento. was 3 hours.

Anriisl.m. 1 JL I City renames path way in honor of Lazarus mmn Calhoun County Commission BY VIRGINIA BYRNE Associated Press Writer NEW YORK In this centennial year of the Statue of Liberty, one group has sought to honor Emma Lazarus, the poet who wrote the Lady's enduring welcome to the "huddled masses yearning to breathe free." On Tuesday, the anniversary of the 1886 dedication ceremony, their efforts will be rewarded as the city renames a Battery Park pathway leading to the Liberty Island Ferry as Emma Lazarus Walk in tribute to the author of "The New Colossus." Behind the effort are the women of the The Emma Lazarus Federation.

They number about 2,500 nationwide U. and are mostly in their 60s and 70s, A according to their president, Rose published when she was 18 and received critical acclaim from Ralph Waldo Emerson, among others It was Emerson who urged her to turn away from classical themes and write more about "the despised present." "SJie developed a social consciousness in the 1880s after the start of the Russian pogroms and the flood of Russian and Eastern European Jews began, according to Morris Schappes, 79, a historian who has edited three books of Miss Lazarus' prose and poetry. After a tour in 1882 of a refugee shelter on Ward Island, where hundreds of immigrants were living in substandard conditions, she became an advocate for their welfare.

"Out of these experiences, the sonnet was born," said Schappes. THE POEM that assured her place in history was almost not written. In 1883, well-known American writers and artists were asked to contribute works that would be sold at auction for the benefit of the statue. Miss Lazarus was asked to contribute, along with Walt Whitman and Mark' Twain. At first she declined, explaining she wasn't able to write to order.

But two days later, she wrote "The New Colossus," containing the "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore; Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me. I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" The sonnet sold for $1,500. Three years later enough money was raised to build the statue's pedestal, but Miss Lazarus wasn't among the dignitaries at the dedication ceremony. Suffering from cancer, she traveled to Europe in 1884. She returned to New York in July 1887 and died four months later.

Her sonnet was not read, at the unveiling of the statue. According to Schappes, "Her poem was completely forgotten until 1903, when a friend of hers came across it and wanted it put on a bronze plaque inside the statue." In 1945 the tablet bearing the poem was moved to the statue entrance. Emma Lazarus was "a very good minor poet," according to Schappes. "If she hadn't written The New she would be remembered more by Jewish literary circles rather than the general public. It so happens the poem is one of the best of her poems;" IF PUBLIC recognition of the poet has been a bit belated, it is no less welcome to the Emmas.

"We hope that the spirit of Emma Lazarus will live on." Mrs Raynes said. "We made a little dent during the Liberty festival! More people are now aware of her name." BRADLEY Bom in Calhoun County.

Raynes, who is 83 and a charter member of Ihe 35-year-old women's service group affectionately known as "The Emmas." "WE WANTED a commemorative stamp issued in her memory," she said. "We almost got one in 1986, but lost out with the postal authorities." The group plans to try again next year on the 100th anniversary of Miss Lazarus' death. At Beth Olom Cemetery in Brooklyn, where the poet is buried, the Liberty celebrations have not brought an influx of visitors to her ivy-covered grave! "Few people recognize her," acknowledged Max Riverd, 30, the caretaker. "When I first came here, I said to myself, who's Emma Lazarus?" The simple granite gravestone is inscribed with the dates of her birth, July 22, 1849, and her death, Nov. 19, 1887.

Several years ago, members of the Manhattan congregation that the Lazarus family belonged to, The Spanish and Portuguese Synagogue, set up a footstone inscribed with the text of "The New Colossus." SOME PEOPLE do stop Rivero reached between the footstone and the ivy and pulled out a five-inch bronze-colored replica of the Statue of Liberty, left by a local historian who visited.
