Friday the 13th – Historical Newspaper Stories and a Calming Cartoon

Uh-oh! It’s that day again.

To calm the nerves (we hope!), here is a newspaper cartoon that advises us that Friday 13th is just another day, and also a report about some of the very interesting superstitions observed in the 1930s on these spooky days.
