In the mystic twilight of late autumn evenings, it is
not hard to imagine the ghosts and ghouls that are
supposed to be about. And if one listens, he might
hear the whistle of the witch's broom as she flits
through the sky. In the imaginative mind of the child,
smoke from burning leaves can become a ghost-like
form as the night settles in. It is nearly Halloween.
It is fun to pretend, and though no one in this modern
age really believes in ghosts, there was a time, and
not too long ago, when goblins and other strange
creatures actually existed in the minds of young and
old alike. Few persons would venture from the house
on the night the "haunts" were out.
Nowadays we still enjoy the exciting crispness in the
air, the misty landscape and colorful autumn leaves.
The goblins and ghosts are really costumed children
out to "trick or treat", and we know there are no
weird creatures creeping through the night that will
do us harm ... or are there?

Valley. The pumpkins were borrowed from a neighbor, R. E.
Nealon.
