days. witches, skeletons and
wild animals will be roaming
the streets of Seaforth and
other towns throughout the
country. it sounds scary, but
it isn't. It is all a part of
Hallowe'en celebrations.
Perhaps tonight or tomor-
row night many mothers and
children will rush around the
house hunting for costumes

for Hallowe'en. Once a cos-
tume has been decided on,
making it exactly as you think
it should be can be a real
challenge. However, after a
little work, some of Dad's old
clothes can make a great
`outfit for trick or treating.
For as long as 1 can
remember,we have awaited
anxiously each year for Hal-
j•e'en.
Approximately a month
before Hallowe'en, stores
would display new masks and.
costumes. These masks were
funny, yet. some had this
amazing way of keeping me
awake or giving me night-
mares. There was something
spooky about a mask with the
eyeballs hanging out of the
sockets, or, worms drooping
out of the sides of its mouth.
The witches, the clowns. the
robbers and all of the other
characters who wander the
streets on Hallowe'en night
are enough to excite any
small child.
RUSH
We would always.-
through
lwaysthrough supper and then
begin our preparations for the
evening. The jack -o -lantern
would be set outside or in the
window. the candies would be
put in the bowl, an T8utside
light would be turned on to
welcome•trick-or-treaters and
we would begin our change
from children to creatures
and characters from stories
and fairy tales. It was so
exciting. After our costumes
were fitted over our sweaters
and warm clothes. we chose
something to' put our treats
in. Finally, we would be on
our way.
THE RULES
We were taught very good
rules for trick or treating
when we were small. An
important rule to remember
for kids on Hallowe'en is to go
out trick or treating in a large
group of at least four kids or
with an adult or older brother
5.
or sister. It is more fun
walking in a big group or with
a parent and it is safer as well.
Another thing to remember
is to trick or treat onty,in your
own neighbourhood or at the
houses of friends. It is more
fun for the people giving out
treats to identify children
they are familiar with. If a
child visited all of the homes
he or she were familiar with.
he. or she would have plenty of
candy and would enjoy the
evening.
When 1 was small we
usually Icft the house about
6;30 and returned from our
iourncv at about ":30 or eight
o'clock. This gave us lots of
time to get candy and after an
hour of trick or treating, we
were pretty chilly. Nine is
pretty late for small children
to be out at night.
CARVING
Hallowe'en is a lot of fun
for all ages. It is really funny
to watch a baby stare in awe
at the masks and costumes or
to listen to a child laugh as
you try to identify him.
Children love to get dressed
up, go to Hallowe'en parties
and/or parade around the
neighbourhood for treats.
Parents have fun as well,
helping the little ones carve a
jack -o -lantern and dressing
them up. Staying home to
give out treats is fun as well.
It's exciting to hear footsteps
on the porch and wonder
whose voices will be chanting
"trick or treat". To open the
door to the various masks can
be quite a shock as well.
Some masks are pretty
scary. If you have a scary
mask, use it for good inten-
tions only. Jumping out at a
child from behind a tree is a
sure way to ruin her Hal- ,
lowe'en. Also, there are a lot
of elderly people in Seaforth
who would rather not open
their doors to strangers in
unusual masks. Understand
this when you come to the
home of some friends and
their outside light is not
turned on. They may be
away, or asleep or would just
• as soon see you another day
when you're dressed as your-
self. Sometimes that can be
scary enough! If you'd like to
show them your costume.
give them a call before you
go on your rounds. during
daylight and visit them with
your costume on. That way.
they will know that you are
coming and who they are
opening the door to.
THINK OF OTHERS
There is a lot of fun to be
had on Hallowe'en and as
fang as everyone thinks of
others, fun will be easy to
find. Beware of the ghosts
and goblins, they'll be out on
full force this year.
Happy Hallowe'en.

JOHN E. GEORGE
FOR
McKILLOP COUNCIL
on
NOVEMBER 8
Council is your Tool for Survival Look to the Future
Vote John E. George
I believe an elected official should work for the people and not against them An
elected official is an extension of the taxpayers he represents. Sometimes council
members become so Involved in the day to day workings of the Township that they
forget to find out what the opinions of the people are on specific issues. I feel it is
very important to keep communications open between council and the taxpayer
Often there is a large gap in communications between council and taxpayer.
Sometimes people feel as though tax and drain assessments are the only extent of
contact with the Township. I would like to introduce the possibility of newsletter
up -dates distributed to the residents 3 or 4 times per year keeping the people
informed of what is going on in council and encouraging them to attend meetings
and express their opinions. I feel the present procedure of short summarys of
council meetings in the newspaper does not always reach every resident But
hopefully everyone reads their mail. Only in this way can council really keep in
touch with the feelings of the people they represent.
Council has access to all types of information regarding government aid
programs. Whether it be drains, road construction, buildings and especially in
these times farm aid, for example small business development bonds or farm credit
low interest loans. There are many programs out there that most people are lust not
aware of. I feel coGncil should take the initiative to make this information accessible
and to help each taxpayer understand its availability and use. If a farmer could save
$10,000 per year on interest payments he would and many of them can through -
these programs.
Council is your tool for survival and the future of McKillop Township is at stake.
If council cannot help you prosper through aid programs, growth through lobs or
'Invest tax money wisely, there will be no future. McKillop has 48 fewer residents
than last year. Why did they go?
We must also look to the future regarding our natural resources McK illop is
endowed with an abundance of gravel and right now it's like ''Gold rush Mmes in
McKillop." But are the residents as a whole prospering in this flurry of activity?
No. Does the township have any protection for its own gravel needs in years to
come? At the present time—No. In a number of years will McKillop be paying • top
dollar" in its own township for gravel or be "hauling" from another township to
maintain its roads? As things stand now—yes. I feel council should carefully
investigate all the facts and design an overall policy for gravel extraction and for the
protection of township gravel for the future.
I believe a cduncil member has a responsibility to the residents to actively and
conscientiously represent their opinions and answer to them.
