SECTION TWO ("pS) The Roundup) I By Wilborne Harrell & Todir — This week’s stint, and last week’s, too, were written under difficulties, sort of forced labor.

But, that was just a lot of excess steam blowing off—l love this i /i* HARRELL writing and it would take more than the flu to stop it, as bad as it is. I thought for awhile, though, I may be headed for “The Last Roundup.” But I think I’m over the “hump” and I’ll get an other chance to wear my Western IT’S HALLOWEEN Roasting marshmallows over a bonfire, bobbing for apples in a tub of water, trick-or-treatin’ at the neighbor’s house and hoping you won’t be asked for the “pay” -—a dance, song or poem—for the treat. All this is Halloween, a once-a- i year occasion when Johnny and Mary can fill their paper sacks , with a collection of goodies even the heartiest of appetites can barely, dent. Halloween ... a night when bedtime is moved back an hour (or two, if you protest enough), a night when small spooks slither through the streets of Pumpkin Center, Calif., Skull Creek, Colo., and Treat, Ark. and most plac es in between. 1 The originators of the observ ance of All Saints Day probably s»ever realized how the eve would be marked in the 20th Century. And for sure, they never rea lized the dangers of Halloween hi jinks. The holiday, the National Safe ty Council points out, can be full of fun for youngsters if a few simple precautions are followed. No one wants a repetition of the tragedy in Seattle, Wash., when a youngster’s Halloween mark Slipped, blinding his view of an onrtishing auto.

He was a close friend of Theodore (Teddy) Roosevelt. An interesting fact about the Old West: In emergencies or when haste was imperative, a newly-elected marshal or sheriff was sometimes given a gold coin as a badge when a real badge was not immediately available. Tomorrow— For a writer to write successfully about the past he must project himself into the pe rriod of which he is writing, and keep himself there until he fin ishes his story or book.

No dashing from be tween parked cars, no playing in streets, no crossing streets without first looking both ways. 4. To make doubly sure motor ists can see costumed children, put reflectorized tape or bands on their outfits.
