'Twas really a pleasure to hand out an assortment of candy and gum at the usual request of "Trick or treat." No serious trickery or damage has been reported in this community. Let us commend our youngsters for conducting themselves in a proper manner and <dempnstrating that they will truly be ladies and gentlemen, in the not too far distant future, i ^ •• Sudden' Passing fsjhri^nds and neighbors;w»e shocked to learn of the untimely passing of Gunnar Johnson of Knollwood (a summer resident) last week. He was found dead in the apartment in which he was living in Chicago. Death was due to music on his accordion at one Wonder Lake, with his interpretation of Digger O'Dell Second prise went to Mrs. Pearl Pietsch as a Spamiah senorita. Chester H el wig was nothing if not glamorous as a hula dancer. Other costumes that deserve honorable mention were Lottie Piotrowski as a lollipop sucking little Sunbonnet Sue, and her lovln' husband, Oene Piotrowski^ as a "Grotesque Monstrosity* that even Tracy objected to. Anne and Fred Matthesius depicted a sultan with the first lady of his harem. Second lady was Dorie Brennan. Lil Hansen was attired at a cat and Dave was so cute as a ballerina. Martha Lorch was a flapper of the roarin' 'twenties and husband, Don, was a cannibal chief. Kenny Sawdo provided the a sudden heart attack. Mr. Johnson was well known to many in our community for his happy disposition and the smile he always wore. He is survived by his widow, Edith, who is still convalescing from a cerebral hemorrhage suffered a few months "ago, and two daughters, Virginia and Astrid. Reunion In Norway What a thrill for Pvt. Dick Osterby, stationed at an Army base near Frankfort, Germany, and our bachelor friend, E:ling Olsen, to be reunited in Oslo,- Norway. Srling reports he had a pleasant flight across the ocean. And Dick was amazed to meet so m^ny relatives that he didn't know existed. During his furlough, Dick is making his home with his paternal grandmother, Raghnhild Osterby, and his -aunt. Else Osterby. He plans, a return trip to "the land of the midnight sun" in the summer. Both Dick and Erling send regards to all their friends. \ Mrs. Bertha Hall of Chicago arrived last week for an indefinite visit with the Osterbys here in Knollwood. Mrs. Hall is Ray Osterby's aunt. Party Note* ProMcki.ig fun was the order of the day Saturday night as two public Hallowe'en parties were held. Prizes for the most outstanding costumes were awarded . At both parties. At the first, indisputable honors went to Charlotte and George McOuat of Fountain Lane. Charlotte was unique in her portrayal of a Japanese wife aria mother, even to the ohild strapped on her back. George was made up as a Scotchman and his -costume was authentic. At the second party, several prizes were awarded. First honors were captured by Art Brand, formerly of our community and now residing in party and was dressed as Farmer Brown with a corn cob pipe. The evening was enjoyed to the utmost by all who participated.

AfteM Ua^ia« Debut Mr. and Mrs. Theodor Olsen enjoyed dinner at the home of Shirley and Art Olsen in the Country Club subdivision on Sunday. In the afternoon, the senior and junior Olstns drove to Fox Lake to witness a dance recital and as far as the Olsens were concerned, the star was pretty little Kaaren Judith, 11-year-old daughter of Shirley and Art. She was dressed in a ballet gown of pale green taffeta and nylon net trimmed with brilliant purple seqtflhs. This was Kaaren's first sok> dance on toe shoes and she was justifiably proud. . - Picture ~1n The Paper ' Did you see Linda Passalaqua's pictwte in the Sun Times last Friday ?
