Druids Believed
Spirits of Dead
Roamed on Halloween
Man’s fascination with the super-
natural is an emotional balancing
act between fear and fun. The
hearty laugh of those who sneer
at ghost stories frequently has an
embarrassing resemblance to a
nervous giggle.
There’s an irresistible appeal
about the shadowy world of the
occult that has attracted poets,
playwrights and authors for cen-
turies. And, throughout the history
of mankind, this appeal has spell-
ed success in the entertainment
business — from William Shake-
speare, with the ghost of Hamlet’s
father to Rod Sterling and his
hearing aids
to fit every
hearing loss

probes of the ’’Twilight Zone.”
Current manifestations of the
allure of the weird are three new
television programs. Two of the
shows caricature eerie families
in haunted houses; the third fea-
tures a contemporary witch in the
guise of a normal housewife.
All three are intended to produce
laughs but the basic ingredients
of the gags are found deep in mans
tribal lore — centuries before
television was even a bad dream.
And, presumably, there was noth-
ing funny about the superstitious
beliefs of those early times.
For instance, Compton’s Pictur-
ed Encyclopedia relates that the
ancient Druids believed spirits
of the dead roamed abroad on
Halloween and they lighted bon-
fires to drive them away.
They also thought that cats had
once been human beings but were
changed as a punishment for evil
deeds. This curious notion found
its way into 20th century melo-
drama with the broadcast of Arch
Oboler's hair - raising radio play,
“The Cat-Wife,” which starred
Boris Karloff.
A more neighborly explanation
of the old European custom of
blaxing bonfires on Halloween is
found in Sir James Frazer's class-
ic book on primitive customs, "The
Ck>lden Bough.” He points out that
the souls of the departed were
supposed to revisit their old
homes In order to warm them-
selves by the fire and to bask
in the good cheer provided by
their affectionate kinfolk.
The Irish say that Jack-o-lan-
tems originated with a man named
Jack who was doomed to walk the
earth with his lantern until Judg-
ment Day because he wais unable
to enter heaven or hell.
Even after November 1 became
a Christian feast day, honoring
all saints, the peasants clung to
the old pagan beliefs and customs.
According to Compton’s the holy
day traces back to 610 A. D. when
Emperor Phocas gave the Roman
Pantheon to Pope Boniface IV as
a church.
But when the Druids were call-
ing the shots, they combined their
fear of ghosts with fun and rejoic-
ing. A three-day celebration cen-
tered around Halloween. The festi-
vities included roasting of nuts
and apples as symbols of the har-
vest.
Today, the trappings of ancient
rituals are stjll with us on Hall
oween — grotesque masks, witches
black cats, white ghosts. But the
glamour of mystery and awe that
clung to the annual observance has
long since been dissipated. There
are very few practioners of black
magic in today s enlightened space
age. Superstitious fear of the
unknown has been uprooted by
technological advances.
Only squares dig all that spook
nonsense.
Of course, even the moHt sophis-
ticated take a dim view of walking
by a cemetery at night. And, some-
times when you're alone late at
I am deeply grateful for
your continued
confidence and support.
I hope that I may have
your vote for re-election
on November 3rd
to continue
the important progress
that we are making
together.

Republicans To
Have Poll Watchers
For Nov. 3 Election
In a letter to County Judge
Choice Moore, F. E. Clark, Fannin
County Republican Chairman and
Conner, Harrington, District Re-
publican Committeeman have ad-
vised that Republican poll watch-
ers will be appointed to serve in
some of the Fannin County polling
places on November 3.
The letter points out that “This
policy Is not limited to Fannin
County, or even Texas, but is gen-
erally in use throughout the United
States by both political parties.”
The letter In part, follows:
"We are not, in any way, mak-
ing an accusation that irregular-
ities have occured in past elect-
ions or might occur in this elect-
ion. We are sure that you are
aware that clerical errors, such
as transposition of numbers,
sometimes occur after a long hard
day’s work.
“We feel, therefore, that we are
rendering a public service, because
if a member of the loyal opposit-
ion party says that he - served
as a poll watcher and observed
no irregularities, then no one
should have cause to contest the
election.
"Every effort is being made to
secure qualified people and to
Instruct them so that they can
perform adequately.
“We sincerely hope that this
program meets with your approv-
al, and that you will Instruct the
election judges to familiarize
themselves with the section of the
Texas Election Code which deals
with poll watchers.”
