things in our every
day life that we ac-
cept SO lightly and
- value so little, but
when we are deprived of
them, how we miss them. This
week when the lights were
really turned on again, the
comment from everyone must
have been comparable to that
Of the gay. White Way, so hap
py was every one to have the
town we'll lighted again. The
news that the real danger of
being attacked was over and
that pre-war status as to illum-
ination might be resumed was
more welcomed than the fact
that rationing of coffee was
over. If patience can be prac-
tieed for a time, many of the
difficult things will be ironed
out and normal living will be
resumed. OF course, we are
not forgetting those who bear
the real burden of this awful
ness, and to whom we shall be
everlasting sympathetic.
Halloween was really cele-
brated in Milford. Friday many
affairs were enjoyed by differ
ent groups of people. The

told many times. The school
set took in the dance at the
high school given by the Junior
Glass and later a number gath
cred at Plaza Theatre for the
midnight show, still full of
that exuberance. only enjoyed
by the young, and eager to give
yells and calls for their high
school. Small parties with
younger children participating
were numerous. too. So the
witches and the goblins had
their sway and cast their spells
over all.
