Color Plays
A Leading
Role
By JEAN GREEN

Parties are apt to be rather
much the same the year around
unless you take advantage of
the passing holidays. Halo
ween offers one of the most in
teresting occasions for a party.
Many quaint old customs can
be revived for the occasion.
The old belief that Saman, Lord
Of Death, holds final judgements
over all souls on this night and
that the witches and ghosts from
the other world are abroad can be
revived. These ghosts don't just
roam, according to the old Brittany
peasants, but they also like to eat.
The holiday affords many unique
possibilities in entertainm t.
Party refreshments should be kept
simple but clever. It is advisable
to employ clever ideas in preparing
the tried and true recipes.
Here are some colorful menus:

REINSURANCE
Senator r. Ryan Duffy, Demo
crat of Wisconsin, was recently
making disparaging remarks con
corning a pamphlet issued by the
American Liberty League which
contained q letter supposedly
written by one Elmer Willis Serl
who claimed to be Wisconsin
farmer.
The letter began:
Three cheers for the Supreme
Court. Now maybe I can run
my farm without interference
from political parasites Of the
tax body who tell me what
may raise on my land, how
much Of It, or none at ali"
Senator Duffy attempted to
convince his colleagues that Mr..
Serl was not a farmer, had raised
no crops Of value in years, but
was q preacher in North Carolina
who owned a small acreage in
Wisconsin.
Senator Duffy concluded:
II merely desire to reaSsure
Senators that when they 90 to
bed tonight they should not
lose any sleep thinking about
the terrible things the New Deal
has done to the farmers Of the
country, and this farmer in
particular, because he is prob
ably now down in North Caro-
lima playing golf"
Mr. Duffy may not think the
New Deal has injured the farmers
in any way but there are some
men in his own State Of Wis
conSin who are inclined to dis
agree with him.
One Of the members Of the
House from Wisconsin has been
earnestly seeking to have recipro
Cal treaty legislation changed SC
that the dairymen Of Wisconsin
and other States Of the nation
might be protected from encroach

Senator Duffy may not be con
WINGED, but some of the most bit

New Deal policies pertaining to
agriculture have come out OF
Wisconsin.
