A Nkhol's Worth of ... Comment On This and That By HARMAN W. NICHOLS United Press (uln Wrrt.r Washington (U.R) Civic groups and the cops have taken a lt of the temper out of our L'r.'' young on Hal- diidjk Jowe en night. held to keep the kids out of mis chief. A lot of churches hold hoedowns, give the little ones a beany full of goodies each """ Nichols and nH thorn off to ring door bells in the good name of charity. In my day we played "trick or treat" first, then we went around destroying property, running off with farm wagons 10 kids pulling and 10 others pusning. We pushed over out-houses; once, in my memory, it was oc cupied by the chief of police. irouDie aeveioped. Th Start Hallowe'en is a cut-down ver sion of "All Hallows' Even That is the evening before "All Mallows' Day." or "All Saints Day." Pope Gregory III in the eighth century dedicated a chap el in tne Vatican Basilica to all saints, known and unknown, and set ov. 1 as their festival. Kids today, of course, still go up, cut the legs off Dad's old pants and prowl their neighbor hoods. And if thev hide behind false faces, they are doing what MARK HATFIELD FOR SECRETARY OF STATE I X.

Man has been running around in false faces since history started to be recorded. For cer emonial dances, worship, on the stage, and in the grim business of pitting man against man in fighting wars. In Africa, as well as Alaska and parts of the United States where Indians live, men still de pend on masks to invoke the spirits. Or "scare them away." Square Heads for Squaws Some Indians of the South west have masks made to fit over the skull and down around the shoulders. Round heads for the braves; square heads for the squaws. No offense to the lady Indians intended. Mothers in some countries have been known to wear face covers to make the young fry behave and take on their nour ishment. Headpieces worn in some early Greek plays sometimes had hid den megaphones inside. The idea was to amplify the emotions of the actor, as well as his voice. This added up to show the folks who bought cheap seats in the bleachers or the outfield whether the actor was trying to emote, simulate sorrow, joy or if he was plain mad at some body. The masks our little kids wear don't scare anybody. And if the church doesn't supply them with lollypops, the good American family has a few morsels to give away. Pennies and nickels, too. If charity benefits, that's fine. If they leave the soap off my car windows, that's very fine. Court Records DISTRICT COURT Charles Howard Walden, overload 153. Melvin J. Bean, overload. $117.
