GHOSTS WALKED
WITCHES TALKED
KNEES KNOCKED
Winder was quiet Wednesday morn
ing after a night of ghost walking,
witches talking and knees knocking.
The raid on the city's bed linen supply
was staged on a big scale Tuesday
night by children and youths on Hal
lowe’en masquerade bent, and the
night policemen were kept scared all
the time.
It was a time when the toddling tot
donned a ghostly pillow ease with the
express intention of freightening the
other kids, find some of the older lolk
got into a sheet to make wife or daddy
or hubbv run to cover.
And even if the white-clad t > Idler
did flee in terror from an anp.uitio 1
scarcely ess weird of looks than him
self —and even if “the wife" old fdl
into an unexpected faint when con
fronted by hubby in her prize linen
sheet —all that lias faded into history,
and Winder is again quiet after anoth
er Hallowe'en hi gtime. It was a
time of black eats, grinning pumpkins,
and peaked paper bats and ha rvest
colored costumes. Kids running and
yelling along the streets startled tile
old timer and made him turn over in
his sleep and dream of the time when
he. too, was a kid, and saw ghosts on
Hallowe’en nights.
