Let’s Tty This For Halloween
A clever idea to prevent the annual “soaping” of win
dows of business houses and yet not deny the kids their usual
fun on Halloween Nite was introduced in recent years in the
east.
The plan called for the cooperation of the Chamber of
Commerce, merchants, school teachers and the children of the
community. Everyone had a lot of fun and no store windows
were damaged.
Here is what they did: Merchants sponsored and en
courged various school groups to come to their stores anc
decorate the outside of their windows for Halloween. The
kids could paint, decorate or design the outside of the win
dow's in any manner they chose. However, the merchants or
C of C furnished a type of paint that was easily removed
with soap and w'ater later.
. . The 3 of C offered a cash prize for the best portrait,
landscape, drawing or cartoon which graced the windows.
The paintings were made on Halloween eve and the following
day a committee judged the work and awarded prizes.
Result: A fine feeling of community cooperation. Kids
happy over a contest an 1 being permitted to “legally” deco
rate a siore window. No damage to merchants windows,
Great publicity and good will for the town’s stores. Everyone
had a good time.
Think we could do it here? ? ? ?
