At Elm Place School _ An Elm Place P.T.A. Halloween In closing this piece, we‘d like to retell one of our favorite bits of Highland Park lore. Some years ago, when Ed Moroney was chief of police here, a subâ€" stantial and well known merchant stormed into the police station complaining about the mischief being done by the kids. Ed listened until his caller ran out of breath, then looked up an old and yellowed police hlottl:a:d and ‘ll)eganthreading selected entries. I'tl’ach enâ€" try to do with a complaint registered y some citizen because of pranks and practical jokes perpeâ€" trated by the complainant. The fact that 7manflyl; of us are like that comâ€" plainant gives point to query, "Weren‘t you ever a kid yourself?" That objection certainly may be valid in some cases, but second objection seems to us to carry more weight. That objection is that many of the youngâ€" sters, collecting more treats than even juvenile gasâ€" tronomical ability car _ absorb, throw quantities of food away. S If such a condition obtains to any degree, the suggestion that the kids contribute excess loot, of a type suitable for shipment, to a "treat collection" to be sent overseas, has real merit. & ADDENDUM This "tricks or treats" business is still rather new to those of us who recall Halloween as a time when much less commendable en ises were pretty much the order of the dayâ€"or sg{mg)wevu, mild as this routine may seem, it can have its objectionâ€" able aspects. ; oz Some householders have objected to the manner in which some of the youngsters have demanded treatsâ€"as though the treat were their right, rather Ehan a courtesy extended by their more or less willing The idea of having the kids see what they can dointhewgyofshopwindowmunlsisnotnew,but it‘s good. The kids have the fun they‘re entitled to. The merchants share, vicariously, at least in the fun. Nobody loses. & OR TREATS : Happily, however, such is not always the case. Merchants the country over have long decried the soaping of their windows and the labor involved in removing the evidence of the youthful observance oftheHalloweenaeason.SmhisnotflleaseinHigh~ land Park this week, as anyone who has walked through the business section must be aware. One of the more pronounced failings of some of the oldsters who seem to find a certain grim satisfacâ€" tioninwhattheyeonsidertobetheahorhomingsof the younger generation, is the tendency, to restrict their activity to pious head shaking over the said shortcomings.
