tain the community at the an.
nual Halloween street party on
Halloween evening, October 81,
from 1880 to $50: The area of
Diamond ave. between Russell
and Summit ayes. will be
blocked off to become the scene
OF the festivities.
To the accompaniment of fes-
tlval mood music, the parade
will be the highlight of the eve
ming. To facilitate the selec.
ton of prize-winners and to be
fair to everyone, the costume
contestants will be divided into
three age groups: ages l to g;
10 to 16; and II to 100. Noise
makers will be presented to
everyone as gifts from the
Lions, and refreshments will be
on sale at several stands.
eliminating the evening will
be the announcement of the win
ners in the rattle drawing. The
gifts to be given away include a
30/30 Marlin deer rifle as first
prize; a pair of water skis, a
life belt and a ski rope as sec
ond prize; and a gasoline camp

also be three other drawings for
smaller gifts.
Warren Kilby and Bill Brad
ley are the co-chairmen of the
event, and they urge every resi-
dent of our town to come out
and share In the fun.
Word from the Office of the
Mayor and Town Council tells
us that Trick or Treat Night in
Gaithersburg will also be OBJ
served on Halloween night, o.
tober 81, thus scheduling all
mass celebrations on one eve
ming. This plan, adopted last
year, won hearty support from
local citizens. There will be
ample time to make Trick or
Treat calls in costume before
going on to the street party.
The local Jaycees again are
going to be out in full force to
patrol the streets on the night
of Halloween, to assist smaller
tots in crossing at intersections,
and to lend a hand in keeping
the celebration a time of fun
and safety for everybody.

weekend is at Grace Methodist
Church on Saturday, October

fowl, ham is also featured on
the menu, along with an array
of vegetables and side dishes all
