"Why can't we go out alone mom?" "Why can't we stay out later" my own three goblins always pleaded on Halloween nights "Because ifs not safe" I'd reply How do you explain to kids about the strangers out there who enjoy hurting them? By 8 we'd arrive back home and the kids trashed all the unwrapped or homemade treats No gooey caramel apples or warm home-bake- The most brilliant specimens were carried to school for art projects My brother Joe grudgingly spent carSaturday afternoons raking at the pet of leaves They rained down as fast as he could rake and my friend Betty and I bedeviled him by sliding into his neat leaf piles scattering them back to the winds Dad supervised the sacred pumpkin-carvinritual and mom spent Halloween day dipping dozens of apples on Popsicle sticks into warm bubbly melted earamel for the onslaught of trick or treaters I helped wrap them in clear plastic and pile them on a table by the front door As soon as the October sun faded Betty and I painted our faces and paraded around in our costumes In our younger years we danced on tippy toes as ballerinas or flitted around as fairies As we aged or wings we refusing to be caught dead in s rode brooms in pointy hats or blackened our faces and carried red handkerchief packs on long sticks Too excited to eat we picked at our baked beans and weinies til dark Halloween was the one and only night of the year we stayed out alone past dark Flickering decorated most front porches and we covered four or five miles racing from house to house filling our pillow cases with homemade goodies We never skipped a single house — the darker and scarier the better Skeletons danced in the Butler's front yard Ghosts moaned from the record player hidden in the rose bushes and Count Dracula answered the door The Molteni's door creaked open slowly to reveal a flickering candle on a wooden table A pale ghostly hand deposited a bag of doughnuts in our pillow cases Witches with warts pirates tattered By Kathryn Currie COUNTY SUN The days of extravagant shop- - ping sprees are over Or are they?

The truth? There probably isn't a mass spiritual turning away from materialism But necessity dictates we curtail spending a bit Each year it seems pay raises grow smaller So there's less dis- cretionary income to fritter away on upscale goodies And for baby boomers there's the kids' college education to con- sider And it's never too soon to make plans for retirement All in all ii ts time to pull up the boot straps tighten the belt and so say many pay off a few bills economists and financial consul- tants Norton E Marks PhD mar- keting professor at California State University San Bernardino says from what he sees on cam- pus materialism is not dead or even slightly out of fashion non-essenti- al ' 80TH BIRTHDAY Isuyako Miyogishima The kirsty ot Isuyoko Mee:sonnet° (Mrs Joe MoyoL invite Mends ond retothes to On Open House Cele brahon ot her 80th Birthaay Saki- 26 1992 51307113 O m al 9633 South 1300 West South J:I:Ion No grits please WE LOVE You MOM ZC t14 aptember e11 ii HAPPY 86TH BIRTHDAY " GRACE PERRY Grace Pony of tolad Cove Yesroce wil cat rebir her 86th Borth day on September 25 1991 A yetY special day e planned by her family to include Toni Michas& vAlo is nyno in no to honos this occasion Happy Birthday to otir Morn and Grand- mottles GROSJEAN LORDY!
