Halloween
Our town was deserted on Satur-
day evening, as most of the people
went to Milford to witness the pa
rade held there.
The writer can remember and not
so far back, when the young lads
| and lassies used to have a royal
| time on Halloween night.
Dressed as they usually did, they
had glorious time, playing their
pranks ON people passing along the
streets, and have them. guess who
the masked ones were.
II has only been a few years back
when the people as a whole spOn-
sOred one of the best Halloween
parades ever Witnessed here. The
cOlOred band led the procession, fol-
lowed by u number of automobiles
and people on foot, as they went
from street to street, there were
shouts of gladness which pervaded
the whole throng, and showed the
passer-by that fhe young people of
Ellendale were matchless, when in
nOcent fun was To be engaged in.
Those days seem TO have passed.
The young people seem to take no
delight in taking part in the Hal
lowe'en parades any more. Some
thing has come upon the people
which seems to have taken from
them that desire TO engage in the
social pleasures of the day.
People don't seem today like they
once were. They don't seem to have |
that cordial feeling which used TO |
prevail one for the other. It would |
be well if the old time feeling could |
prevail again. but can il under the |
present circumstances There must |
be some cause for so much apathy |
among the young people of today. !
and it. would be a grand thing if |
the cause could be found, and when |
found, Danish il as far as the east |
is from the west, and then endeay-
or to get our young women ana
men in doing things once more.
which shall be for the good of the
church and community at large.
Perhaps an old tima revival in
the church is what is neA led at the
present tr!e. II is worth trying!
