THE STORY: Although A1 Kem-
mer, owner of High Hill, a summer
resort, has made Dan Morrison, his
athletic director, Eddie Fields an
entertainer, and Midge Burnett, a
guest, promise, Dan doesn’t like
keeping secret the fact that a mur-
dered man's body was found on the
place and then moved away by Al.
So Dan and Midge decide to find
where AI left the body and report
it to police.

If one hair of that child’s head could be found humanity should build
the mightiest tomb on earth to honor it. There are divine possibilities in
every child. We should strive to bring out these Infinite possibilities.
Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
—Luke 2:12,
Deal May Force Plane Subsidy
IT was a totally new departure when Pan American World
* Airways announced it is buying three British jet airlineis
for delivery in 15)56, and possibly may buy seven more for
delivery in 1957. No. U. S. airline has ever before made
important use of foreign aircraft. ,
Pan Am’s reasons were simple. British airlines now have
Comet jets in service on two routes, and in the yeais just
ahead British Overseas Airways corporation will begin using
them on the major international runs, like New York to
Europe. Pan American must meet this competition.
It must do this for its own sake, to keep from losing
business to BOAC, and to maintain the prestige of American
flag aviation on the great air lanes of the world. As our
biggest and most far-flung international carrier, 1 an Am
is the chief bearer of this responsibility.
rpHE company chose British aircraft because American
plane makers were just not in a position to offer a com-
petitive type of plane by 1956. To wait longer might have
proved too great a risk.
Why are the British ahead in developing practical com-
mercial jet planes? Partly the explanation is that the
British government has been absorbing the huge experi-
mental costs. Then, too, the manufacturer finds a guaran-
teed market, since the British lines are government-operated
and must use the products developed at government expense.
Yet there’s more to it than these special advantages.
Evidence indicates American plane makers underestimated
the British. Why they should is hard to see, since the British
already have a notable record for ingenuity in this field.
APPARENTLY U. S. manufacturers were not staggered
by the prospects for the present British Comet Mark I,
now flying from London to Johannesburg, South Africa,
and London to Singapore. This ship has a limited range
and limited pay load and is not practical for the long over-
water hops.
But Britain already has projected ahead to the Mark III,
which will have a 2,700-mile range and the approximate
size and capacity of the successful Stratocruiser now plying
ocean routes. It is this plane Pan Am has ordered.
Perhaps the airline’s turning to a foreign maker will
have a desirable shock effect on both the plane industry
and congress in this country. The manufacturers need to
gauge British inventiveness correctly. Congress may well
need to consider whether the time may not have arrived to
subsidize part of the development cost of new aircraft, as
it now does the building of ships.
A man from Massachusetts, caught after a jail break,
said he just wanted some fresh air. A nice compliment for
the jail.
Masked bandits robbed a used car lot in Indiana. Police
say they won’t get far.
Halloween will solve the problem of what to do with old
razor blades. They’re swell for removing soap from windows.
Don’t be too hasty in criticizing your fire department. A
fire in a Persian temple has been burning for 1,000 years.

Many residences in the southeast section of El Reno were
without electric service most of Thursday night after high
winds struck at about 9 p. m„ snapped a pole of the South-
western Light and Power company’s line near the railroac
overpass at the cemetery corner, permitting a 66,000-volt
line to fall into the Oklahoma Gas and Electric company’s
2,400-volt line. The Southwestern line also fell across the
Oklahoma Railway company’s trolley line, halting interurban
service.
Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Walker of Arapahoe, Neb., departec
for their home today after spending the past three weeks

Hayes, and his brother, John Walker, 219 North Foster.
They were accompanied home by their nieces, Mrs. Bill Mc-
Cray, 1211 West London, and Mrs. Roy Hall, 1110 Wes
Woodson, and John Walker.
RIS Bridge club met in the home of Mrs. Glen Richard-
Bon, 400 North Barker, Wednesday afternoon. Auction
bridge was played. Mrs. Pete Gerber was high and Mrs
Richardson tallied second high. Mrs. Ollie Michael, the only
guest, was presented the guest prize.
rpHERE was something going on
L in the woods across the road,
the tract of evergreens and oaks
that stretched to the main high-
way. Somebody was calling Alex
as if Alex were a dog.
A Great Dane as big as a horse
was galloping around the trees as
If the huge choice were driving
him crazy.
"Oooh, Isn't he beautiful?" said
Midge.
The dog slowed down. He looked
across at us. "Stay behind me.
Midge.” I said. "He thinks you’re
a picnic spread.”
A man suddenly appeared be-
hind the monster and grabbed the
collar. A leash clicked In place.
I saw the man's face clearly for
a moment. Then he gave a yank
and led the dog away through the
woods and down across the creek
toward the old road.
"Stay here. Midge," I said. ‘‘I
want to talk to this guy."
I hurried up the dirt road and
across the bridge. Midge scrambled
after me. "Griscomb!” I called out.
He turned his head. He didn’t
look startled. He talked to his dog,
and the big brown-and-tan thing
pranced around on the leash to
have a go at me.
’’I don't have much time—what is
It?" he said as I entered the woods,
but his tone was bland, unhurried.
* * *
T HAD seen G. O. Griscomb only
L once before, and only briefly.
I took a good look this time. He
was about five-ten, just about my
height, pretty thick through the
chest but with a pronounced stoop,
which anybody would get walking
this dog. His face was the peculiar
tan clay kind that doesn't take on
folds or wrinkles. I guessed him
be 55. Now he had a rough-
textured snap-brim on. and was
wearing a rugged canvas limiting
coat.
"Trespassing,” I said.
The dog did a little dance with
his forepaws and gave a sudden
Jerk toward my ankles. Griscomb
pulled back hard at the leash.
Quiet, Alex!" The dog ran stu-
pidly back, sniffed at his master's
shoes, then came at me again as
far as the leash would let him,
eager for my blood.
'You raised such a fuss when
some of our guests canoed near
your place," I said. "How come
we find you trespassing now?"
•'I’m sorry—the dog happened to
chase something over there and
wouldn't come back. I had to get
him."
‘That’s nice. But you wouldn't
listen to any explanations from
our people.”
Midge was suddenly around in
front of me—her hand was on the
dog’s head before I could grab her.
HI, Alex," she said. The monster
walked up her—he got his paws on
her shoulders—he looked ready to
use her for a lollipop. But Midge
kept patting his snout, baby-talking
him. and no calamity happened.
•I’ve lived all my life in these
woods," Griscomb said stolidly.
"Every corner of these woods. They
don't belong to you . . . you sum-
mer people."
"Uh huh. And while you were
growing up out here, did you ever
learn that, funny word hospitality?”
His eyes didn’t waver. "We knew
how to show hospitality—to the
great men who used to be our vis-
itors. Joseph Jefferson. . .
"He means Thomas Jefferson,"
Midge confided to Alex, who was
now licking her face.
"Joseph Jefferson, the actor," said
Griscomb. "He came up to the Po-
conos to study his fnmous role, Rip
Van Winkle. And Henry van Dyke
he used to go fishing all through
this section. Of course, you don’t
know who Henry van Dyke was,
but he was a great writer.”
“I know," said Midge, letting Alex
down on the ground.
"We don’t get suen visitors any
more," said Griscomb.
"I think that's a shame," said
Midge.
“You’re an unusual young lady,"
said Griscomb. He quoted some
poetry about the Poconos.
I could see Midge’s face waver.
"You still haven't explained what
brings you around here," I broke in.
"I’ve already made that clear," he
said calmly. He took another loop
of the leash around his wrist, gave
Alex a Jerk and started away.
"Come see us again,” Midge called
after him.
* * *
pRISCOMB didn’t answer. He
Vi was scrambling after his dog,
trying to stay on the same side of
the trees as Alex.
“Isn’t he a nice old geezer?” said
Midge.
"I still want to know what he’s
doing in this part of the woods,”
I said.
"He Just likes to go around and
see the trees.”
“You see, this guy owns that big
slice of land across the lake, and
about a month ago some of our
lovebirds went canoeing over there.
He burned their ears off—even
threatened to shoot them. Then he
came over and: told Al Kemmer we
were a lot of vermin, dirtying up
these virgin woods, and if he ever
caught anybody else trespassing on
his land, we’d have to spend a
week picking up the pieces.”
“I don’t believe It,” Midge said
firmly.
We walked In silence down the
dirt road. Midge suddenly stopped
and put her hand on my elbow.
“Dan—let's find who did it—the
who shot that man.” She

looked up at me avid-eyed, like
a kid saying. Let’s play house.
“Nope,” I eaid. “You can't go
catching murderers. The Dete-
tives’ Union would picket you.”

rpHE evening of Oct. 31st Is
A Hallow e'en set apart by the
church as the vigil of All Saints
Day, which Is November 1st.
In the old Celtic calendar Hal-
lowe’en was witches’ night and
superstitious folk still hold that
the spirts walk abroad on this
one evening
In the old countries the evening
was observed as a festival with
traditional rites and charms and
was followed by the ecclesiastical
celebration of All Saints day
which is Nov. 1st.
In my childhood we were the
spirits which roamed the neigh-
borhood. We made weird noises
with tlc-tacs and wore ghostly cos-
tumes which we thought would
frighten the unsuspecting com-
rades also roaming the neighbor-
hood.
The big boys were more daring
and turned over garbage cans,
rang the church and school bells,
and tried to think of something
devilsh which wouldn’t get them
in too much trouble at home.
Retribution was swift and sure
In those days and Hallowe'en was
no problem beyond the ability of
parents. The game wasn’t worth
the candle so on the whole the kids
were pretty well behaved.
When the advent of tricks or
treats took place Is not known to
me. Had we been caught at some-
body’s door demanding a hand-
out we would been snatched home
and summarily dealt with as hav-
ing besmirched the family es-
cutcheon.
Parties, yes, where bobbing for
apples and eating doughnuts off
strings were on the evening’s
agenda. We also made and pulled
taffy, popped corn and made pop-
corn balls, sat snuggled up togeth-
er while some accomplished one
told ghost stories.
We finished off with dancing
and a long walk home in the crisp
autumn air. Destruction was un-
heard of except as the floors were
muchly gummed up with bits of
taffy and one could sweep up
pop-corn for days and mothers
who cleaned up the messes
couldn’t always make It to church
on All Saints Day.
I cannot imagine my father ex-
pecting the city to put on extra
police to protect the public from
his children, or anticipating the
town would entertain his off-
spring to keep them out of trou-
ble. Wonder If ‘times’ have
changed as much as parents.
Learned today with a great deal
of satisfaction of a neighborhood
party to be held this evening. Each
of the mothers is providing part
of the treats and an amateur
magician will provide the tricks.
Parents of that neighborhood are
accepting their responsibility for
the safety and behavolr of their
children.
They will not be on the town.
Perhaps from a small beginning
the Idea will spread and Hallow-
e’en can again become a festival
occasion where fun and frolic are
Indulged in but depredations are
not condoned.
