And a glorious Hallowe'en it was, for kids of all ages, with a perfect night to go tramping door-to-door. The ghosties and goblins were out in legions again this year. and once again, their favorite habitat was Southcott Pines, Green Acres, and that number one stop on everyone's list, The Christmas Tree Place. As usual, it was a special Hallowe'en treat to visit there, with a row of unusually fearsome Jack -o - WATCH Opening Soon Mr. Mugs Ontario St. Grand Bend 1 lanterns, lining the walk, flying spooks, cobwebs draped everywhere, dangling spiders and unearthly moans frons the bushes. each trick/treater received a balloon with a black cat on it! This year the Lion's Club donated $15.00 worth of silver dollars as prize money for the Grand Bend Public School, grades kindergarten, one and two, for the best costumes. The Lions also financed the Hallowe'en Party for the Grand Bend Nursery school tots, goodies and all. The entrance to the Grand Bend Book Store featured a special touch for Hallowe'en too - corn shocks, an• orange pumpkin and a real black cat, who sat quietly staring, as part of the tableau. One wonders what the cats' fee was for this service, so many mice per day? Another pussy -cat tale for Hallowe'en involved yours truly. We normally run four spoiled pussy cats, as part of the household. While away in August to see Expo, one of the cats got insulted at the lack of service and left the area. When we returned, a wide search revealed no trace of our handsome Chester. On Friday night, my daughter opened the door to let in one of the cats, and in walked long lost Chester, returned after two and a half months. He quickly resumed position as top cat,.as if nothing had happen- ed, looked great, but refuses to tell us where he's been all this time. Another wierd Hallowe'en mystery! Enjoy what's left of the autumn col- ors - they won't be around much longer. Most people spent their sun- ny Sunday raking leaves and as a whiff of tangy smoke filled the air .quite a few were burning them, too. Raking leaves is still one of the best family outings available - it's free, fun, and healthy, out in the fresh air. Of course, the kids are more likely to be jumping in the piles their parents have raked, but it still gets done. A traditional leave-taking or farewell, to summer and warm weather, as we grid up for the winter months to come. Sympathy of the community is ex- tended to Carol , fmil, her RR 1 Grand Bend, itheand loss ofy mother last week.
