I don't pretend to hare
done exhaustive research,
but I gather that the pat
tern of Salem Witch Per-
Secution 1UGS a long time in
the planning. 1t apparently
first took shape in Boston
in 1888,
The 13-year old daughter of
John Goodwin seems to have
triggered the gun. About to be
caught taking liberties with
the family fortune, she cutely
accused an Irish laundress Of
theft.
Unable to make the charges
stick in court, the teen age
delinquent naturally pretend
ed to have been beWitched.
Cotton Mather's political SER
mons were all the rage, 50
the little girl emoted to the
hilt.
History is vague on what
happened to the Irish wash
erwoman, but she was prob
ably banished In any event,
her poor old mother, name of
Glover, was accused of Witch
craft and executed in 1888.
Instead of denouncing the
Goodwin girl for her delin-
quency, Cotton Mather evil
IDENTIFY took pride in her atten-
tiveness. He continued to TO
ment fear of Witches. 1t was
good copy and smart politics.
The following year, in Lon
don, Mather published his
book, Memorable Providences
Relating to Witchcraft and
Possessions. 1t was to become
the Bible of Salem Inquisition-
erS in 1929.
Whether this 18th Centu-

the author tipped his lid,
1Oho can say? In any event,
it 10dS pot0ertul enough to de-
Stroy the IalDS of evidence
in the Kings Courts.
No crime is without mo-

persecution at Salem waS a
lust for political polUer gone
mad. No crime is l0ithout
real or imagined conlpul-
sion. The compulSion waS q
fear common to all dictatorS.
To appreciate fully the story
of the Salem Witchcraft Tri-
ais, one must understand the
violence and turbulence of
Massachusetts politics from
the beginning. None of the
bosses had a monopoly on
good or evil.
In play-acting drama, the
action is dominated by the
/ fiuctuating fortunes of good
guys and bad guys. Almost al
ways, truth and justice pre-
vail at the final curtain, the
evil gets its come-uppance.
In this real-life epic, for
263 years, the script has cal
led for competing williams to
take turns in the spotlight.
while the innocent continue
to be rampled underfoot, or

Our Sincere Sympathy

We are indeed sorry to know
that the mother Of Mrs. Mol
lie Palmer continues i'll. Some
slight improvement has been
shown recently, however.
Newcomers to our commu-
nifty are Mr. and RMS. Taylor
and their hree children in the
Watson homestead on Hart
ford. 1t seems so right that
there should be children en-
joying this hcme. Except for
a period of little over a
year, the writer can't recall
a time when there were not
little feet scampring about. 1t
is hoped the Taylors will en-
joy heir residence here.
Many preparations were
made in birmingham for the
observance of a safe and sane
Halloween to the end that
very high dividends were de-
clared: namely a very few
windows were marked up and
very little destruction of pro-
perty. Perhaps those respon-
sible for "malbehavior" in the
past are now more mature and
act accordingly and those
coming along at this time
realize the consequences of
their acts. But whatever the
reason, Halloween this year
was pleasure.
The Pro-To Community
Club held its Halloween party
at the Civic League. At $3.50
pm. the club was host to
children IS years and under.
In addition to the traditional
cider, donuts, apples and can
dies, they enjoyed several
games. At $50 the hosts en-
tertained the adults dane
ing and Halloween goodies.
Recipients of prizes for games
and costumes were Loretta
Christopher, Arnold Christie
pher, Jr., Joey Assencoa, Wal
ter ASsencoa, Robert Fuller
and Patricia Lane. The at
tendance prize was won by Mr..
Arnold Christopher, ST., and
Juanita Christopher held the
lucky ticket which entitled
her to a gingercake and whip
ped cream. 1t can be headily
seen that it was the Christie
pher family's lucky night.
Eveyone seemed to have had
fun.
The regular business meet
ing of the Pro-To Club will
be held wednesday, November
8, at 800 pm. 1t is hoped
that all members will be pres
ent.
A little late, perhaps, but
none the less sincere. Con-
gratulationS to Mr.. and Mrs.
Murray Scott who recently
celebrated another wedding
anniversary.
In a long, newsy and inter-
ested letter received a few
days ago from Mrs. Mildred
Crawford, a former resident of
birmingham but now making
her home in LA, she stated
that despite the smog and
'quakes', California is sill
very beautiful place in which
to live.
