The discrepancy continued to grow to the Point that it threatened to put Magellan into a protective safety Mode although Alim said he did no to believe that would have interrupted mapping or made engineers lose touch with the spacecraft.

Up a attacks on government sponsored halloween events Are becoming More common As fundamentalists frustrated with the Banning of Christian symbols assail goblins and witches As representing paganism or satanism to o experts said tuesday. That was driven Home monday when a Western Virginia county administrator who is an evangelical Christian proposed Banning witches and goblins from county sponsored halloween events. A Franklin county administrator Richard Huff ii argued that the symbols might be construed As representing the occult. The Board of supervisors rejected the proposal. Jeffrey Hadden a sociology professor at the University of Virginia and Robert Butterworth a los Angeles clinical psychologist said huffs stance is part of a regrettable trend that is picking up steam every year. But Hadden believes Huff and other fundamentalists have a Point Given the movement in recent years to ban government funded nativity scenes crosses and other Christian symbols As violating the separation of Church and state. A this would be a logical Extension a Hadden said. A i think its a shame but. It seems to be a logical direction to go. I think he has a Point Butterworth takes another View. A we re always telling kids they have to be on guard about getting kidnapped being sexually molested and the danger of drugs a Butterworth said. A now we re trying to take away one of the few fun thing kids have left to do. The frightening thing about halloween to me. Is that people Are trying to revive the paganism that children done to know anything about. A the research shows there Hasni to been a Rise in satanism. So the argument is moot Hun suggested it is wrong to warn teenagers about the dangers of satanism while entertaining elementary school children with tales of w itches. Of the county wont spend Money putting up crosses and other symbols of my Faith then i Don t want them to spend Money on this a Huff said before the Board of supervisors met monday a if they wont let my son Pray in school i done to want them cramming witches Down his  the supervisors disagreed with Huff saying they think halloween is nothing More than a harmless cultural diversion.
