Goblins March Tonight at 7 P.M.
So, Borough Better Beware!
Paraders, attention! The time has come! Tonight is
the night for hobnobbin* with hobgoblins. The Chief Witch
arrives, via a non-stop broom flight, at 7 p.m. on the dot to
marshall the weird and ghostly procession into town. The
masked ranks are to form at the parking, lot of the Lamb-
Miller Field House on College lane from whence they will
march on the village and around by the judging stands at
the corner of Park avenue and South' Chester road, by the
railroad platform.
So that scary spooks don't frighten drivers of automotive vehicles, or hilarious clowns cause them to double up
in laughter, (resulting in possible damage to life, limb, and
.auto), grownups are asked to comply with temporary traffic
regulations and keep' oft the parade route. Only broomsticks may be parked on the Field House lot and Park avenue after 6 p.m. ,,-.	
Those citizens of the Borough I
who can muster up enough courage to venture out of their homes
at   the  witching  hours  are  en
couraged to attend the festivities.
No guarantee is provided that a
few unsuspecting souls won't be
spirited away in sudden, mysterious fashion. The survival rate
lias been fairly high over the past
few years, however, so don't let
these fears deter you. The best,
and safest, vantage point from
which to view this uncanny crowd
is thought to be along Park avenue.
It there be any gremlins or goblins, hobos or fairy princesses,
clown? or .^devils hiding out in
town who have not yet registered,
there is still time. Come to The
Swarthmorean office ,. before 5
p.m>, being careful not to frighten
the staff—already somewhat jit-
, tery' from the hosts of' ghosts
who've descended on them, and
get ' your official number. No
prizes from the bubbling cauldron
can be spooned out to you unless
you've been duly signed in.
Awarding of ribbon prizes will
take place in the borough's parking lot.
In the event,of rain (resulting
undoubtedly from the darkling
curses of an-uninvited witch), another date for the festivities will
soon be announced.

Choir Presents Gift
lo Presbyterian Women
As ..a token of their gratitude
and appreciation, the European
Touring Choir has presented the
Woman's Association of the Presbyterian Church witii a lithograph
of the St. Pierre Cathedral in
Geneva, Switzerland.
Mrs. William Scarborough, a
member of the Touring Choir, on
its behalf thanked the Association members for their many gifts
of shirts, aprons, dolls'and jewelry
which they had collected last
spring for the Choir's use.
Speaking at the first fall meeting of the year, Mrs. Scarborough
told the group, "Everywhere we
visited, we left gifts, symbols of
the love and generosity of our
church members.
"In Duisburg, Germany, a great
industrial city teeming with refugees, we were guests for tea at a
local orphanage . . . Great was
the happiness of our Choir and
Auxiliary group to be able to
leave these children gifts of
Christian love. There were dolls
dressed with, infinite care; bean-
bags knit in gay-colored yarn and
fashioned for small hands to
catch; well-tailored shirts of plaid
flannel; gloves for cold hands;
small aprons anoScostume jewelry
for the older girls.       ,
"In Frankfurt, Germany, most
of the choir was housed in homes

No Ticket - No Fine
Monday's ill wind, which blew
down heavy branches from a tree
earnestly growing on Park avenue, was merciful . enough to
spare the,lives of passers-by: In
dumping the branches neatly into
a vacant parking space, the wind
also managed to leave unscathed
the two cars parked on either
side.
But, it was a full half hour before'the road crew could, get to
the debris and remove it, and
during that time the parking
meter's little red flag was up. No
Borough Father appeared to pay
the rent, no Borough, policeman
hastened to apply the tag.
There are a dozen shoppers and
proprietors ready to verify the
fact; and as any local motorist can
tell you, it costs two and a half
cents to park there half an hour—
55 cents (or a dollar)- for the day.
