She creates faces from pictures in old books, pictures given her by friends and from memory, carving tlie quaint characters from fresh, crisp ap ples and drying them by a slow process. Buffalo Bill, her latest, wears authentic cos tume of leather, has a knapsack tor jerky and hardtack and he carries a "Kain-tuek" gun. Grandma wields a needle on her pieced quilt and Pierro, in rear, holds a hand carved pipe of wood. Note miniature picture of President Tyler on wall and tiny wooden butter churn in left-hand corner.

This was the report given by the club's part-time manager to a newsman who knocked at the door bearing the big bronze "Q" ajid walked in. "It's been quiet." said Wil liam Pickford1, surveying the club quarters, almost empty at an hour when the thoughts ot businessman and bureaucrat alike begins to turn to dry mar tinis.

Robert Y. Thornton honied as he rallied some legal bones to take some of the spoof out of the Hallo ween spooks. "Spooks and haunts roaming around on Halnween t'hould know that while there is no specific state law against soap ing windows, any bit of mischief that amounts to defacing prop erty is severely frowned upon," Thornton noted. He said such school or church sponsnred activities as collect ing funds for UNICF have his full approval but he warned any gohlins falsely representing to collect money for charity would run into a real live night mare. It's against the law. "Kven the ghosts or witchfs HALLO WE EM COSTUME PARTY TONIGHT PRIZES TO COUPLE WITH BEST COSTUMES SPECIAL HALLOWEEN STEAK DINNER WITH AL. TRIMMINGS $1.50 DINNERS START AT 5 P.M.

"His election (by a rump ses sion of the congress dissolved when Bosch was overthrown last month i . . . was. constitu tional, but it will have no ef fect while he remains in hid ing." Sanchez said.

De Wet today quashed the indict ment against 11 men accused as saboteurs in a case con demned by the United Nations. Trial of the 11 had opened Tuesday. Four whites, six Afri cans and one Indian were ac cused under South Africa's sab otage act which provides for the death penalty in certain cases. They were accused of pre paring a rebellion which was to have included guerrilla warfare and armed invasion to over throw the government of Pre mier Hendrik Veruoerd. Earlier this month the United Nations had urged South Africa call off (lie trial and free the prisoners. It was apparent from epceches supporting the U. N. action that most dele gates regarded the II defen dants as political prisoners and not saboteurs. (Ml CHI HKRAl.n AND NEWS.
