But there is one problem with getting into the Halloween spirit this year: when should one get into it? The traditional Halloween of Oct 31 falls on a Sunday. But any good witch knows that Sunday is not an appropriate time for broom flying or casting spells.

In fact, His Honor sat down a signed proclamation this week that designates Saturday, Oct. 30, as the day for carrying on such spooky activities as trick or treating. This 'is also the evening that youthful volunteers will be collecting funds for UNICEF. THIS IS THE FORMAL parlance in which it was stated: Now thelrtfore, I, Willis Hansen, Mayor of the City of 'Brigham City, Utah, do hereby proclaim that all Halloween customes, traditions and collections be carried out on Saturday, Oct. 30, 1965 and that Sunday, Oot. 31, 1965, be observed as the Sabbath Day and be kept free from any collections or trick or treating in this city.
