No Column With no column in last week's paper, many of this week's news items are several weeks old, however, I felt some of them still needed to be reported. The reason that my column did not appear in last week's paper is because early Friday morning, Nov. 4, my Dad was called to the hospital for his second corneal transplant. My deadline is 1 p.m. Friday so I was unable to get the column in. That same day, my uncle, Walter Wilier, passed away and the next several days were spent between St. Lukes Presbyterian hospital and the funeral lor.

Passes Soap out for Candy I received a phone' call from Millie Kunz and a few others on what their children received for trick or treating at Halloween right here in Lilymoor, soap wrapped up in candy wrappers. How lo^ can a person stoop? If you don't want to give the children candy or anything else why don't you just tell them no and be done with it, and not pull a dirty thing off like that. To a pre-school child candy is candy and they can't read, so therefore they put it right into their little mouths. Instead of making the children sick from eating this so called candy which is soap the party with the warped mind should eat it and get sick, not the little children.
