- THIS WEEK'S COVER
- Once again (and whatever became of summer?) the fodder's in the shock and the frost is on the jack-o'-lantern. Papa and the little Halloweeners will now cut faces in the pumpkins and papa will cut his finger, but he won't bleed long, only until he burns the finger on a candle—cauterizes it, a form of healing. Then everybody will bob for apples, and have gay fun, even mother, the one who gets to swab up the mess on the floor. These are the wise, wholesome ways of merrymake on Allhallows eve, and we rejoice that the kids in John Falter's scene do not plan to bang a pail of milk over Farmer Smith's door, ring the doorbell and watch him get wet. That would be naughty, wasting valuable milk when water would do just as well.
