Halloween

It's trick or treat time as Halloween has
come again. The pumpkin must be carved
and the candle lit. The attic is ravaged
through in search of some of grandma's old
togs to assemble a unique and hilarious
costume or possible a spooky, far out
creation copied from the pages of an outer
space comic.
The little children try to look like their
favorite TV cartoon character or storybook
hero while the big spooks get more exotic.
The fun of dressing up is enjoyed by all
ages of spooks, but not all enjoy the innocent
fun of trick or treating. The majority of those
who are going door to door are polite and
very well behaved. But there are always
those who only delight in destructive
mischief. if those who wax and soap the
windows had to clean them, there's no doubt
it would be the last time it would be done.
Parents really do a super job with
supervision of their little children. They
either walk with them or drive them to their
neighbours in the country. When it gets dark
so early it becomes very dangerous for the
children to be out alone. And with often dark
and long costumes, drivers do not see them
and tragedy could strike.
Halloween is often a cold, wet, windy
night creating an eerie atmosphere suitable
for the occasion.
Did you know that the Halloween customs
that we observe on Oct. 31 had their
beginnings long, long ago. They came from
the beliefs of the druids -- priests of ancient
Gaul and Britain. The druids believed that
•
once again
witches, demons and spirits of the dead
roamed the earth on the eve of Nov. 1.
Bonfires were lit to drive the bad spirits
away.
To protect themselves further from the
mean tricks of the bad spirits, the druids
offered them good things to eat. They also
disguised themselves so that the spirits
would think the druids belonged to their own
evil company.
And thus we celebrate Halloween by
playing trick or treat, dressing up in
costumes and wearing masks. The autumn
leaves, cornstalks, apples and nuts which
are so much a part of the Halloween season
are reminders of the druids autumn festival
in honor of the' harvest. Halloween was also
referred to as the witches Sabbath.
As orange and black are the colors of
Halloween and of course we cannot have
Halloween without the jack -o -lanterns, I
found a very interesting fact in a book that
the children in Britain made their jack -o -
lanterns from turnips. The turnip is still used
in many places, although pumpkins are more
popular. Since turnip is not most children's
favorite vegetable and pumpkin pie is such a
delicious dessert 1 can easily see why they
carved up the turnip instead.
FITNESS OUTING
On Sunday, the Dublin 4-H club went on a
fitness outing as part of their club's
program.
The girls went to the YMCA in Stratford
where they enjoyed a swim, sauna and
workout in the weight room. All the girls
found this most enjoyable and will .continue
with their regular meeting again this
Thursday at St. Patrick's Parish Hall.
Howatt drain reportstudied
Hullett Township council provisionally
adopted the report on the Howatt municipal
drain at their Oct. meeting.
Council approved a snow removal tender
from George Radford Construction. The
tender, the only one received by the.
municipality, was for $33 per hour.
Council authorized the road superinten-
dent to hire extra help for the township's
snow removal equipment. A wingman for the
municipal truck was approved for the 1984-85
winter.
LONDON SERVICE USED
Council agreed to continue the use of a
London computer service for tax billing
purposes.
The municipality began using the company
last year for billing. The service will cost
Hullett between 5800 and 5900.
