PLEASANT- - or brushed against, striking fear in the hearts of those who venture out at night. The fear that behind every tree lurks a ghost or goblin. Black cats are on the prowl, bats are hovering overhead and witches and monsters are everywhere demanding treats or threatening some stepped on sort of mischievous prank. In contrast to the dark night, there is a glimmer of light as we look from house to house and see the lighted jack with their errie toothy grins, on every porch, bidding perched welcome to the young costume clad visitors who makie their rounds on Halloween night. For generations? the has been one of the main symbols of Halloween. The term as Irish legend has it, originated many many years ago with a man named Jack, who because of his miserly ways, was refused entrance to heaven. He could not enter hell either, because he had played too many practical jokes on the devil. Being rejected by both places, he was destined to roam the earth with his lantern until Judgement Day. A word of caution on this special holiday, dress your children in costumes that will not hamper their vision, and that are clearly visible to motorists. Also, it is not likely that we would have cranks in our small communities, but in larger cities there may be a problem. Regardless of where you Uve, it is wise to be selective in the treats you let your children munch on after trick or treating. Let's keep for children.

Frank Peart and four grandsons, Ray Alan Christensen, Brent Christensen, Ronnie Christensen and Guy Lynn Nelson, were successful in getting their deer after the storm abated. In the same group, LeRoy Gourley Jr. also got his buck. Get ready for winter driving The Utah Department Transportation is urging motorists to prepare for the upcoming winter season.
