The two evenings OF
fun for the teens
- and the younger
children were pleasant as to
weather. But the headline in
the morning paper Tricks
Still No Treat" might sum up
the activities. There were no
reports of pranksters and the
things they did, that were
away out of line, but the chill
dren of all ages came and
went during both evenings un-
til they must have been weary
and with bags full to the
brim. By actual count one
house was visited by one hun
dred and five. All with some
kind of disguise but when the
evening was about over no
funny face and no costume
had much appeal. Lucky is the
person who had handouts"
until it was over ard the
thought fingers, that the GUS
tom is so much abused. It
was a happy time in the past
when children of neighbors
and friends came and there
was time for recognition.
That time is way back there
and it has been replaced by
children that are not known
and those from other towns
that abuse the privilege that
was a former good time.

The verdict reached after
almost three hours deliperation,

was based. The defense had
asked for ruling, but the judge
postponed it until the verdict
was reached.

yesterday, the trials fifth day,
the jury deliberated for 90
minutes and then recessed over

"a democratic society is by its
nature an ethical one, or its

I'VE cannot have liberty our

partake of the spirit of the Lord,
which porclaims truth, justice
and charity of all men toward

Mr., Goldberg said the

encyclical of Pope John XXQI.
