Memories of old Hallowe'ens She told of one farmer who on one Hallowe'en loaded a wagon with produce to drive to Toronto the next day. But when he wakened the next morning, he found it on the roof of his house, still loaded. Another man's chimney was stuffed full, so the house filled with smoke. Upsetting of outhouses was a common cecurrence. But consider the plight of the man whose white hens were his pride and joy. The morning after Hallowe’en he arose to find they had all been dyed pink. Pranksters in those days were seldom children. Mrs. Kelly also spoke of the Les Hood family. The late Mr. Hood kept the village store at Buttonville which is now occupied by GUMBO. And she described an incident in early history, when a delightful Irish Catholic lady entertained the protestant minister, and served him potatoes which she carried to the talbe in her apron. The minister evidently enjoyed the visit, but the Women of the neigh- borhood were horrified. Mrs. George Barker demonstrated flower arranging, pointing out the best colors to use together.
