Ghosts and spirits being in order on Oct. 31, those of the Gaelic Druids will doubtlessly accompany the modern Trick or Treaters on their rounds. The gleam in our children's eyes, seen through the slits in their masks or enhanced by makeup, may well reflect the dancing lights of bonfires which went out in Scotland and Ireland many centuries ago. The present, traditional festivity derives its name, of course, from the night preceding All Saints' Day--All Hallow's Eve-- but pagan, and disquieting origins, lurk in the ta^Kground of this Christian celebration. Witches on broomsticks or in the guise of black cats are more ancient than prayers for the souls of the departed. Rome celebrated the end of summer with a festival in honor of Pomona, the goddess of the orchard, and nary a modern goblin, spaceman, or spook will be surprised to learn that nuts and apples were roasted while autumn foliage and fruitswould you believe pumpkins?- were used as decorations. - TRUE LOVE WON'T POP Bonfires, originally lit to coax the sun into returning a few months later, eventually became an obstacle to leap over while making a wish. Wax or molten lead was poured into water, and scrutinized for portents of the year to come. Romantically inclined young girls placed dust or grass from their courtyard under their pillow, in an effort to dream of their future spouse. Others believed that an unbroken apple peel, carefully swung three Good Turn Day is a national Scouting program with some three million boys participating annually.

The first girl to draw an apple with her teeth from a water-billed, apple-bobbing tub would be married within the year. \ Nuts bearing suitors' names were thrown into glowing embers; those that popped presaged unfaithfulness, it was understood, while nuts which burned quietly represented young men with desirable qualities. •SOUL CAKES? TO 'TREATS' In England and Wales, "Soul cakes" were baked and distributed among the poor in exchange for prayers on behalf of the giver's late relatives. Irish peasants availed themselves of the terrifying overtones of Halloween to roam the countryside in disguise, and collect the makings of a carousal liable to restore even the most superstitious man's courage. Many years and many miles of ocean later, American boys and girls revived the old custom, begging for handouts of candy and apples under the penalty of soaped windows and deflated tires. Such "treats" obtained under the threat of playing "tricks" on the reluctant giver, underwent an unexpected and radical transformation when a few Sunday school pupils decided to devote their Halloween fun to collecting coins for the benefit of underprivileged youths in other parts of the world. The year was 1950; the proceeds totalled$17; the beneficiaries were sick and hungry children aided by the United Nation Children's Fund. NEW TRADITION Since then, many a candle has burned to its wick in many a jack-o'-lantern (incidentally, another typically American innovation). UNICEF has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Many of the original UNICEF Trick or Treaters have children of their own. But the new, beneficent tradition has continued to grow--and grow. Last fall, over 3.5 million young Americans raised more than $2.7 million for their less fortunate counterparts overseas on Halloween. The nationwide program, carefully supervised by competent adults and supported by the National Safety Council, will again be organized in over 13,000 communities this year.

The film continued to point out that when the Athenians introduced a progressive income tax, their leading intellectual, Isocrates, said: "E would appear that success is to be punished--that exorbitant taxes have made it a crime to prosper. The end result of such an order can only be the removal of incentive, the discouragement of our people, and the destruction (four free society." The Liberty^ Amendment, it was brought out, would abolish the personal income tax arid force the government to get out of competition with private enterprise. Government businesses today, it continued, consume all of the personal income tax paidbythe American people.; It was decided to form a study ; group before th action program^ gets under way.
