It's bazaar time again. Local
church groups, sororities and
organizations will once again be
holding their fall and pre
Christmas bazaars in the near
future and new ideas are always
welcome.
For the craft table these unique
and decorative egg shell mosaic
containers would be the perfect
item this year. The craft requires
a little imagination, used egg
shells and tin cans or containers.
Decorative items useful to the
householder, child or business
person can be made. An empty
detergent bottle can be tran-
sformed into an attractive vase,
an old tin can, can become a
find making mosaic containers
both easy and fun,
Supplies - White egg shells, Rit
Dye, tweezers, white glue, clear
shellac or varnish, fruit juice
can, tuna can,plastic detergent
bottle, etc.
General directions - Draw or
trace the design onto the item to
be decorated. Rinse the egg
shells and remove any loose
pieces of membrane. Colour the
egg shells by dyeing them in a
solution of 1 4 package powder
dye in 4 cups hot tap water for
about 10 to 15 minutes, Because
eggs shells vary in structure
different shades may result
which will add texture to the
appearance of the finished
design.
Gently lift and stir egg shells in
the dye solution, then rinse in
cold water and dry on paper
towels,
Working a small area at a time,
apply glue to can or bottle, Press
egg shell pieces into place until
flat and glue adheres, Allow to
dry completely, then brush with a
protective coating of clear
shellac or varnish or use a plastic
spray.
Vase - Cut top from bottle with
a razor blade or sharp cutting
tool. Add egg shell pieces in
irregular horizontal stripes.
Suggested colours are cocoa
brown, gold, kelly green and
tangerine.
Pencil and Clip holders Fill in
egg shell pieces to form letters
first, then fill in background,
Break egg shells into smaller
pieces as needed to fill open
spaces. If desired,colour rims
with nail polish. Suggested
colours are cocoa brown, yellow
and scarlet.

burned. That's too much of a
coincidence. The structures were
empty but they belonged to
someone, Disregard for another
person's possessions isn't
amusing.
Vandalism and tragedy don't
belong in our celebration of All
Saints' Day. The little witches,
ghosts and goblins are less
frightening than the tainted spirit
that now haunts the annual
October event.
In many ways, Halloween has
lost its innocence. For the sake of
the bright-eyed youngsters
planning their disguises and their
fun, let's hope this Halloween is
an old-fashioned, safe one.
It seems we just recuperate
from our Thanksgiving Day
feasts when we begin stocking the
house with Halloween candies.
Soon the ghosts and goblins, the
clowns and hobos, the witches
and gypsies will prowl the streets
again and cry "trick or treat!" at
our front doors.
Like many other traditions,
Halloween has changed over the
years. When I was a kid, the only
eerie part of the night was caused
by the flickering lights from the
grinning jack-o'-lanterns.
Our treats consisted of home-
made cookies and glasses of
sweet cider, apples, carmels,
peanuts, chiclets and popcorn.
My friends and I munched
excitedly all evening. When we
arrived home, we dumped the
remaining goodies into a bowl
and dug in. If we felt sick the next
morning, our parents realized it
was only because we ate too
much.
Now the parents caution their
kids to not eat anything until they
get home. Every apple, every
chocolate bar, every stick of gum
and every toffee must be
carefully examined before it's
eaten.
Why? During the past few
years, an ugly phenomenon
occurred. Some sick people hid
moth balls, razors and pins in the
children's candies. The "treats"
became possible hazards; the
public was shocked; and
Halloween lost some of its
carefreeness.
Likewise the traditional
Halloween tricks, such as soap on
windows, overturned outhouses,
hidden mailboxes and switched
wires on cars' spark plugs, were
replaced. The old jokes resulted
in a slight inconvenience, which
was usually accepted with a
chuckle.
Each year some pranksters
invented new tricks, and many of
the stunts are no longer funny.
Instead they're dangerous and
destructive.
Turning or removing a stop
sign can cause an accident for a
motorist who is unfamiliar with
the corner.
In the country, yanking a gate
from its hinges is similarly
thoughtless. Some cattle still
graze at this time of the year. If
-.they wander onto the road, they

In 'many towns, eggs and
tomatoes are splattered on store
fronts and on cars. The situation
infuriates the owners of the
property which is tampered with,
but the mess can be cleaned up.
When large cucumbers are-
hurled at passing vehicles and
when pumpkins are dropped
from overhead bridges,however,
safety is at stake.
Rubber tires are sometimes
ignited on street corners. After
the initial excitement, the in-
cident is forgotten.

Twenty degree weather was no
deterrent to 20 Exeter Guides as
they spent a weekend at Camp
Kirkton.
Activities included tent pit-
ching, trailing, fire building and
shelters, with an evening of fun,
songs and skits.
Meals were cooked over open
fires in gourmet style and in-
cluded foil dinners (well done)
bacon on a stick, dough boys and
muffins baked in a cardboard
box. This left quite an impression
on the younger girls and one was
found out in her driveway Sunday
night roasting potatoes for her
mother.
Five girls braved the 20 degree
weather to sleep in the tent with
mitts and all.
The funds raised at a bazaar
last spring were used to finance
this weekend camp. Thanks go to
the local people who supported
the Guides then,
