Tonight is Halloween
Tonight Is the night when de
gangs reorganize and prowl through
the streets armed with ancient vege-
tables and not so fresh eggs, hurting
them on the porches of unfortunate
house -holders. Tonight is the night
when witches, ghosts and COLLINS
fly hither and thither and when the
police do the same thing, but in
search Of the youthful offenders of
aw anu order.
However, that is not for Berlin.
There the youth is too careful to
bring down the wrath of the officers
lpon their heads, especially when |
learly all the youngsters have parents |
who are friends of the policemen,
who might administer well deserved |
,pankings should anything out of the |
way happen Berlin has usually beer |
In orderly community on Halloween. |
Youth must be served at any rate |
lrd the spirit Of the right will be |
.arried by multitudes of witches,
,hosts, COLLINS and other residents
# the supernatural world, who will
Dam up and down Berlin street and
he streets of Kensington, soaring be-
ated citizens out of their well known
Wits.
But tomorrow a great change will
ONE over the town. The witches.
'oblins and ghosts of tonight will re-
ume their studies in the schools of
he town and will behave like ordin-
ry boys and girls.
No doubt, there will be SEINE resi-
ents who will find on their porches
lifts of dead leaves, vegetables long
ince past usefulness and other arti-
les not essential to human life. The
ouseholders Will make no comment
ut will sweep these things from their
orches. Halloween comes but once /,
