Members of the cult bettered that a god, incarnate as a human being or animal, appeared to his worshippers disguised in various animal forms or dressed inconspicuously in blade. The earliest form of the aniipal disguise is the figure of a • man clothed in a stag's slcin with antlers on his head. Such a figure appears among the palaeolithic paintings in a cave in southern France. Hie goat disguise was common in early France and Germany. In the British Isles the usual forms were the bull, the dog and the cat. Pagans set aside four days during the year to worship this strangeappearing god: February 2 or Candlemass; May eve or Roodmas; August 1, Lemmas and November eve or Halloween. The worshipping was joyous: Cult members by tne hundreds, from far and near, men, women and children, gathered together. "The scene was like a great fair with dancing and singing and feasting," Enclycopaedia Britannica says. "The celebrations began in the evening, lasted all night and ended at dawn." Today, Halloween is chiefly known as the eve of the Christian festival, All Saints' Day. However, in the spirit of humor and adventure, beliefs are recalled that mark this night as the one night in the year during which ghosts and witches are most likely to wander abroad. And young and old, dressed in every imaginable costume, sally forth for fun. It was in just that spirit that a crowd gathered at The Bridge in McHenry to attend the annual Halloween dance given toy the ' Ladies Auxiliary of the Wonder Lake Rod and Gun club. Joe Turner's orchestra from Woodstock furnished peppy music for the dancers, and. for every dance the floor was well filled. Costumes of every imaginable type were seen. Chairman of the club, Mrs. Helen Reuter, greeted her friends in the guise of an old witch with hair of rope. First prize for costumes went to Fred Sells, all dressed up in a neighbor's dress, with purple modish hat and veil, white sandals, and a well padded "figger." Second prize went to Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Fowler of Chicago, who were attired in matching Indian costumes of genuine buskskin. Young Mr. Fowler, who has just ^returned from Saipan less than two weeks ago, and after seven years of service in the _ navy, _ was such a convincing Indian in a wig of straggling black hair, that many of the ladies stepped back in horror at first sight of him. Third award was made to Mrs. Zella Reese, dressed in a white harem costume through the diaphanous fold of which a very lovely1 figure was both concealed and revealed. Fourth prize went to Mr. and Mrs. Joe Monteleone, dressed as French apache dancers. Mrs. Olive Armstrong, chairman of the entertainment, and her able and energetic committee, are to be commended on a party that was really lots of fun. to visit Mn. BIMtoma. of Mm Joseph Smith and Mrs. Cteraaea Biukema, sister of Mrs. Smith. There was a meeting at the home of Murphy m Tuesday to select an advisory eoencil for the Boy Scout troop that will soon be organised at Wonder Lake. Through the constant drarts of Mr. Murphy, who foela thatthe organisation of children's clubs is one of the major answers to delinquency, the Boy Scout movement is finally underway. As all Scouts* must have an adult qp aponsor, Mrs. Betty rf, chairman of the Community club, has announced that that croup will act as sponsor for the Scouts. Johnny Widen will act as Scoutmaster with Harry L. McGurk as assistant Scoutmaster. The committee for the Scouts are: Elmer Murphy, chairman; A1 Merritt, Allen Armstrong, Bud Elberson, A. Thorn and Ed Cannon. An application for the charter has already gone in. *' _ " Elmer Murphy is also responsible for organising and sponsoring the new Ricon club of Wonder Lake, affiliated with the National Rifle Association. The boys are to use the McHenry jrifie range. Victor Milbrandt, and Mr, Bergdahl are assisting in the transportation and conduct of the boys. There will be a special presentation party held when the rifle club charter arrives. The name of the club, broken down, is formed from the first letters of the words. Reliability, Industry, Concentration, Orderliness, Neatness. Mr. Murphv is a member of both the State and National rifle associations and holds many medals for both rifle and pistol shooting. The Folly Pigtails club, composed of ten little girls from Harrison school, met on Tuesday evening at the home of Gertrude Smith. Apparently the cakes served at Gertrude's home gave all the youngsters neat respect for Mrs Smith's baking! Helen Tronsen, organizer of this club, conceived the idea from a magazine of that name. The newly organized choir of the Wonder Lake Gospel Center met at the Glouser home in Ringwood on Tuesday, for practice.

His sister, Ona Marie, also attended the party, but brother Keith, ill with a .bad cold was unable to'go. People are always going around saying, "Something ought to be done about this!" Well, this is one of those thingB that definately comes under that caption. The Ernst Meyers (our barber) received a telegram this week, and it might have been a little quicker sent via turtle express.

Upon getting settled in Deep Spring Woods, the Raedels discovered that there was no front door bell on the new home, and put the kitty-bell at the right height on the outside for visitors to reaeh. A few nights ago. late in the evening, they heard, a loud clanging of the bell and wondered with dismay, since they had retired, who could possibly be ^coming to call.
