The former Cardinal Albino Luciani of Venice laughed and smiled as he greeted each prince of the church, the men who elected him in one of the shortest conclaves in recent history.

"In this sacred celebration inaugurating the ministry of the supreme pastor of the church, which has been placed on our shoulders, we begin by turning our mind in veneration and prayer to the infinite and eternal God."

Breaking more than 1.000 years of tradition, the 65-year-old pontiff donned a simple white wool stole as the shepherd of his flock and concelebrated his inaugural Mass with the College of Cardinals. He refused to be crowned with the traditional beehive-shaped papal tiara or to be carried by a dozen footmen to the ceremony in the swaying portable throne, as past popes had done. Like his predecessor Pope Paul VI. he chose to have his installation on the steps of St. Peter's Basilica, close to people and in front of Christendom's largest church.

Most past papal coronations, glittering with the regal trappings of the crowning of kings, were held inside the mighty basilica.

The plane was carrying 52 passengers, mainly white tourists, and a crew of weee cross with his hands. Before him were gathered a throng of dignitaries including kings, queens, princes and presidents, and a multitude of pilgrims and tourists. John Paul wore a golden miter and a simple gold vestment.

Kariba is 200 miles northwest of the Rhodesian capital of Salisbury, on this nation's border with Zambia. Despite Rhodesia's war with Zambian-based black nationalist guerrillas, the area remains popular with vacationing Rhodesians. The only confirmed report of a Rhodesian civil aircraft being attacked by guerrillas using ground-to-air missiles was at Victoria Falls, also on the Zambian border, in June 1977. The missile, fired at a twin-engine light aircraft on a scenic trip over the falls, missed the plane and hit a hotel, causing heavy damage. Air Rhodesia has an accident-free record since its formation in 1967.

In 1894. Labor Day became a national holiday. Vice President Adlai E. Stevenson of Bloomington was among three persons who signed the bill. His signature was accompanied by that of House Speaker Charles F.

Crisp and President Grover Cleveland. At the end of the last century, labor unions thought the day should be used to exhibit their strength and advertise their cause. Today, the event no longer centers on labor crusades. It has become a day for family picnics and parades. The United States is not the only country which recognizes laborers.

Although Labor Day, in one form or another, is celebrated in many industrial nations throughout the world, it is not recognized on the first Monday in Sep tember. May 1 is the day which honors laborers 4 century ago.

A fairly strong tremor in the Black Sea shook the Soviet resort city of Sochi early Sunday but caused no destruction, the Soviet news agency Tass said. That tremor came several hours earlier than the German quake.

A third quake, registering 4.6 on the Richter scale, hit southern Taiwan Sunday. It was the second to hit the island in two days, but neither caused injuries or damage. The Richter scale is a measure of ground motion as recorded on seismographs. Every increase of one. number means; a tenfold increase in magnitude.

Thus a reading of 7.5 reflects an earthquake 10 times stronger than one of 6.5. An earthquake of 5 on the Richter scale can cause considerable damage in the local area, 6 severe damage.

It has become a day in which all persons can honor the working class from blue collar to white collar. Labor Day.

traditionally the first Monday in September, was founded by Peter J. McGuire. one of the leaders of the Knights of Labor and also president and founder of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America. McGuire confronted the Central Labor Union and Joiners of America in New York City with the idea that there should be a day to honor labor. He is reported as saying: "There were other worthy holidays representative of the religious, civil, and military spirit, but none representative of the industrial spirit the great vital force of every nation." On Sept.

5. 1882. more than 10,000 workers marched around Union Square in New York City, marking the first Labor Day in our country. Although the celebration became an annual event in New York after that first march, it was Oregon which passed the canton, or state, of St. Gallen, police said they received more than 100 calls in an hour from anxious residents.

Most of the damage was near the picturesque Black Forest in the state of Baden-Wuerttemberg, West Germany's earthquake zone. It was the first quake recorded in the region since 1969. The Baden-Wuerttemberg Interior Ministry estimated damage in the millions of dollars but said an assessment was incomplete. The ministry said there were three shocks, with the strongest coming first. In the town of Tailfingen, 30 houses were damaged and three persons injured, one of them seriously, police reported.

Police said the Hohenzollern Castle, a popular tourist attraction and ancestral home of the German kaisers, suffered extensive damage and will probably be closed for up to six months for repairs. A spokesman for the Central Observatory in Erlangen said the quake was "the strongest ever recorded" since Germans began measuring tremors a in Mexico and most of the countries jn Central and South America. Europe has set aside May 1 as ils "May Day" to pay tribute to working people. Previously, that day had been a traditional holiday signifying the coming of spring. But in 1889.
