A Hallowe'en Suggestion
In Palo Alto, California, so tells us Miss Ruth Mclntire,;
xtension recreation specialist at the University of Massachu-
e
tts an ingenious plan for celebrating Hallowe'en has been suc-
cessfully tried. She sees no reason why it would not work equally
nell in New England.
By means of a Hallowe'en Treasure Hunt, youngsters'
pranking inclinations are used to collect items for ,the needy of
Europe.
This is how it works.
Dressed in the customary Hallowe'en costumes, Palo Alto
youngsters roam the dark streets ringing doorbells. Instead of
asking for treats, however, they ask for such items as buttons,
needles and pins, thread, snaps, shoelaces, elastic, and thimbles.
These items are stowed away in the treasure hunter's specially
prepared bags and off they go to the next house. The following
morning these "bags of loot" are collected at central headquar-
ters where they are sorted, packed, and shipped to relief organ-
izations overseas for distribution in Europe and Asia.
In the schools instructions are handed each child in written
verse, with cut-out jack-o'-lanterns. These are colored and hung
on each door after receiving gifts, so that no householder will be
solicited twice.
The plan is sponsored by the local Board of Education,
Parent-Teacher groups, civic and church organizations through-
out the city. Newspapers and radio stations give the plan good
coverage. Stores carry ads, displays, and offer "specials" on the
desired articles.
I In her description, Miss Mclntire concludes, "Not only is
'mischief greatly reduced, but the children's stomachs are in fai
better shape the next day."
Perhaps it is not too late this year for some smart Cape
iCodders to get their heads together Hallowe'en-wise and mak<
up plans for energy-using, glamorous employment for youthfu
celebrants.
EDITORIAL
Miss Harriet Chace, principal of
the Elementary School In Center-
ville , spent the past summer at
International House in New York.
Our Centerville correspondent
asked her for an account of her
experience there and received the
the following story, which we think
deserves to be passed on to our
readers. Miss Chace has spent the
last two summers studying at
Columbia University for her Mas-
ter 's degree and living at Inter-
national House, serving as one of
the hostesses.
—Editor
" . . . You asked me to tell you
ibout International House. There
s so much to say about this place
and about the larger topic of the
promotion of International under-
standing and good will In the world
that I find it difficult to write
briefly.
International House was created
i by Harry Edmonds and General
Frederick Osborne (now repre-
senting the U. S. on the Atomic
Energy Commission) after the
loneliness of foreign students in
this country was noted. From small
beginnings with those-students in
the Cosmopolitan Club of the
Intercollegiate Y.M.C.A. in New
York, it has grown to an associa-
tion of 50,000 potential instruments
of understanding—the men and
women all over the world who
once lived in the three U. S. In-
ternational Houses and who knew
each other easily as brothers.
The New York House, built in
1924, through the generosity of
Mr. and Mrs. John D .Rockeletler,
Jr., has each year over BOO resi-
dent members, both men and
women, together with several hun-
dred non-resident members. Here
they participate In the social, cul-
tural and educational program of
the House. Fifty or more countries
are represented each year in the
membership. The majority are en-
gaged in graduate or professional
studies in practically every field of
Interest. At dinner, one may con-
verse with a young doctor from
Columbia, a Chinese teacher from
Shanghai, a beautiful young girl
from India in her colorful silk sari,
a turbaned Sikh , a Spanish artist
of no mean talent or a charming
young teacher from the Phllip-

me iirsi lecture in me series
being offered by the Cape Cod
Board of Realtors took place Oc-
tober 18 In the Hearing Room of
the Town Office Building, Hyan-
nis, and .was attended by mem-
bers of the Board and the public.
Speaker was George R. Glen-
dlning, editor ot the Banker and
Tradesman, Cambridge. Mr. Glen-
dinlng spoke on "Trends in Build-
ing and the Real Estate Market."
The speaker cautioned against
letting public housing into our
town, because It meaiiB losing con-
trol of the future development of
the town. Under the public hous-
ing bill those who have earned
their own homes must subsidize
the rents for other people. Saying
that a housing shortage originally
brought government into this pri-
vate business, it is, nevertheless ,
the beginning of socialization of
private property. With business
falling off, Mr. Glendining gave
the opinion that the prices of old
houses will drop 20 percent by the
end of the year to what they were
last January flrst.
Mrs. Elizabeth W. Mollen was
chairman of the meeting.
The next meeting will be De-
cember 13.

cooperation with the Masdaohii-
settB Safety Council is transposing
an old ailage and asking people
to "Keep Your Mind on Your
Walk" . Pedestrians aro to blame
many times tor accidents. They soo
rod and yellow or groon lights and
stop off tho curb, novor looking
to the right nor the loft , and walk
In front of moving vohlclos. In
many instances, says Chief Lawes,
pedestrians aro cither wholly to
blanio for accidents or thoir care-
lessness contributes substantiall y
to tho injury.
Some statoB , Including Connecti-
cut and Kliodo Island , have laws
regulating pedestrian traffic. May-
be MiiBsachiiBOtls should have a
pedestrian "law ". Chief Lawoa
thinks It may become nocossary
If people don 't "Keep their minds
on w hat they are doing—especially
walking Into danger."

The Honorable Rudolph P. King,
Registrar of Motor Vehicles, re-
minds motorists that extra vigi-
lance and attention must be exer-
cised to avoid unnecessary acci-
dents to children who will frequent
highways and byways In their child-
ish celebration of Hallowe'en.
Every operator must recognlzo
that children will be dressed in gay
costumes end wear masks over
their faces. Tho mask not only
hides the wearers identity but shuts
out their view of your approach,
Many children will be out alter
dark as they pursue in Imagination
tho witches and spirits or Hallowe-
'en.
Parents must keep thoir children
off tho streets.
Registrar King and your Police
Department urge every driver to be
unusually alert in our mutual ef-
fort to protect celebrating children
from Injury and death .

Your Children!
