"The             Goblins Will Get You                                       If You              Don't Watch Oi


      By EVE SEITER
  Before this paper goes to
the press, goblins will be
abroad, some of them seeking
treats under threat of tricks!
Watch for them as they scurry
forth from the shadows. Keep
an eye out for them as they
cross our streets. The inno-
cent fun of soookin friends
and neighbors can be shat-
tered by an accident.
  Vandalism is not "fun" nor
is it a "trick.:" It is a crime,
certain to involve young people
and their parents in trouble
and grief. The older, young
people in our Area are wisely
setting a pace that will make
Halloween a time. of fun in-
stead of folly. Adults are
assisting them.
  WARA will help by sponsor-
  ing a Community Parade and
  party for children and ol-
  der young people. The parade
  October 31, will form at Lee's
  Garage on Leonard Avenue
  and Main Street at 6:45 P. M.
  The Wintersville High School
Band will lead the parade
with our Village Police and
Volunteer Firemen assisting
in the formation.
  Costumes will be judged
  immediately following  the
  parade in the Wintersville El-
  ementary School. Prizes will
  be awarded according to age
  groups: 1-6 years, 6-9 years,
  9-12 years, 12-16 years and
  16 and older. Prizes for the
  most original and the funniest
  costume in older age group
  will be awarded. So here is a
  chance to have some fun, for
  everyone loves a masquarade.
  This writer recalls two cleVer
  traffic lights who stopped
  traffic at her door on Hal-
  loween night. An ingenious
  mother had converted two
  corrugated boxes into full
  fledged traffic signals which
  properly glowed red, yellow
  and green. The child witmnin,
  equipped with flashlight, has
  had a merry old time,
  What's   a   party without
  tood? Refreshments will be
  served. Cider and   donuts
  passed around there by the
  Junior Federated Club Women
  of Wintersville.
  From 6-9 o'clock Halloween


night another group of young
people   representing Youth
Groups   of   various  Area
Churches will make a UNICEF
Drive. These young people
will be of Junior and High
School age and will s6licit
door to door contributions.
Remember, now, they can be
identified': :by their official
carton. ._. a half pint paper
container .-with an orange and
black. Isicker bearing the


UNICEF    symbol of mother
and child. Their aim is to
treat the World's children.
the money you give buys
milk and vitamins for sick and
needy   children  throughout
the world. Our own, young
people entreat you for them.
  There may be a few poli-
  tical eoblins about in the next
  week. Watch out for them,
  too. Learn to know them. You
  still have time. A Chicago
  election poster reads, "Bad
  officials are elected by good
  people who do not vote."
  We might add to that, "or
  vote without knowledge."
  Knowing a candidate's ad-
  dress, sex, race, the size
  of his family and his place of
  employment is not enough.
  All this gives a mental pic-
  ture of the type of candidate
  but gives little indication of
  his qualification for office.
  Consider him or her objective-
  ly. Learn why the candidate
  is running for office. What
  really motivates him to serve..
  a chip on the shoulder, a per-
  sonal aK to grind, a genuine
  desire to serve, an intelligent
  concern for his home, his
  state and his country? Will
  the candidate be a f'fence sit-
  ter" or will he have the cou-
  rage to stand up and be count-
  ed when doing so may threat-
  en his own popularity? Will
  the candidate, once elected,
  remember that his job is to
  act tor all the citizenry
  impartially? Is the candidate
  honest, reliable?  Turn  a
  searchlight upon his actions,
  for actions have always spqk-
  en  louder than  anyman's
  words,


  Up till Thursday afternoon
  October 31 at four o'clock
you may go to the Jefferson
County Board of Elections of-
fice in Steubenville and vote
an Absentee Ballot if you
are to be absent from your
home on Election Day, No-
vember 5th.
  The Citizens living North-
west of Wintersville in the
area newly annexed to the
Village of Wintersville have
been duly certified as voters
with the secretary of the
State of Ohio. If you live
in this area which extends
out to Route No. 646 and are
an American citizen, have
lived in the State of Ohio
for one year and in Jefferson
County and your precinct for
forty days you are eligible
to vote in Precinct No. 5
station in Forester's Rest
Home.
  Yes, Halloween is here
  again; Election, too. Keep a
wary eye out for the goblins,
for "the goblins will get you
if you don't watch out"!

Curfew Lifted


  The curfew was lifted by
the police department in the
village. The vandalism which
forced  the  strict curfew
ordinance was solved with
aid of our vounger citizen
and the responsible parties
have   faced  duties  with


shame and regret.
  The   Police  Department
feels that the residents of
Wintersville have a right to
be  proud of their Junior
Citizens and parents who
aided in the enforcement ot
the curfew.
