HALLOWEEN
Good Evening,

When witches dance upon the green. Hobgoblins hop with looks so queer. And elfin figures fit about
 Know that Halloween is here. When children dress up in costumes funny And duck for apples one by one, And play weird games like hide in the dark Halloween is here. what fun! When hoodlums gather at the corners Cutting lines and ringing bells: Throwing eabbages and all that hooey Until police the riot quells; When witches dance upon the green, Hobgoblins. black cats and figures queer Decide you've got to take it and like it Halloween comes but once a year.

Arthurdale, Mrs Roosevelt's model town-to-be in northern West Virginia. has both a past and Q fu- ture.
 The quiet farm purchased by the government for its rehabilitation experiment has Q past that is wov- en into America's early history. George Washington surveyed the place, it is said. Lord Fairfax owned it. It was a storm center during the anti-slavery agitation. Then a Pittsburgh hotel-keeper bought it and fenced it in with shovel handles.
 The Fairfax heirs held the farm until the "war between the states''. Col John Fairfax, head of the family, died in 1S43, aged S1. He and his wife were buried on the highest hill on the farm. Around them, a little farther down on the slope, are the graves of some 200 slaves that worked on the place.
 Graves to Be Restored
 The government architects who are planning Arthurdale have set aside this hilltop as a memorial park. The graves will be restored and preserved. A log cabin. built by Colonel Fairfax for his chief slave, a man named Watt, also may be left in the park, although its architecture will be out of keeping with the rest of the buildings. Many of those who live around Arthurdale believe that if one stands on Watts grave at exactly midnight and asks, ''Watt, what do you warit?" the occupant of the grave will answer, ''Nothing at all" So far ss is known, however. no one has made this experiment re- gently.
 The old Fairfax homestead long ago routed away. The present farm home is great turreted frame house of 22 rooms. It will be torn down aften Arthurdale is< com- pleted, because its architecture is not right. The government is de- termined to make Arthurdale truly a beautiful spot.
 The recent owner of the farm was Richard Arthur, who built the Arthur hotel in Pittsburgh, 40 years ago. He has lived on the farm for S5 years. cS Buckwheat for Prince
