Dear Abby: Readers agree trick or treating should be abolished

DEAR ABBY: Last year you ran a wonderful letter from a concerned mother who deplored the custom of sending children out to beg for treats on Halloween. M v 12-year-old daughter took it to school, and it completely changed the character of the way Halloween was celebrated in our little town. Please run it again. This is from your home state WHERE THE TALL CORN GROWS DEAR FELLOW lOWAN: Thanks for asking. Here it is: DEAR ABBY: Those who presumably worry about their children who are out trick-or-treating on Halloween should take a lesson from my mother and her friends. They never had to worry. We stayed home because she and her neighbors would toss the best party of the year—next to Christmas. They did this with little effort, permitting the children to do most of the work and planning. Hot dogs, hamburgers, soft drinks, cookies and cakes were in bountiful supply. We played games, bobbed for apples and received prizes for our costumes. Growing up in a small town (population about 9,000), I never heard of trick or treat until I moved to Washington, D.C. We didn’t have to worry about poisoned candy, pins

Heloise: Severe winter weather necessitates special boot care

DEAR READERS: With winter fast approaching us, it is time to get your boots out and make them ready for the cold, wet winter ahead for most of you. The Soap and Detergent Associ ation has passed some do’s about leather boots and I would like to pass them on to you. They advise that you start caring for new leather boots even before wearing them, by applying several coats of transparent paste wax on them to protect the boots from the elements. If the boots are well polished it will help them shed water. Spray tne seams and sole line of dark leather boots with silicone. Silicone will stain Light-colored leather and suede, so use it only on the dark colors. You can And other products safe for the light leathers to increase their waterresistance. Do not use heavy oil as a waterproofing finish for fine leather boots; it will make them dull and impossible to shine. Stuff the toes of wet boots immediately with paper after they have been exposed. Let them dry naturally for at least 12 hours and keep them safely away from any heat source. Always wash the salt from the boots as soon as you can. Use a solution of warm, sudsy water with a spoonful of vinegar and sponge the salt stains off. Be sure to clean the soles and heels.

and razor blades in apples, or the threat of being lured into the home of a stranger to be molested. I personally despise the custom of trick or treat and refuse to condone it by encouraging children to come to my door. Call me Scrooge. Fortunately, more parents in my part of the country are beginning to see the sense in block parties on Halloween. I hope it catches on and replaces the deplorable custom of sending children out to beg for treats. CONCERNED MOTHER DEAR CONCERNED: You hit upon something that has troubled me for a number of years. The very principle of trick or treat is pure and simple blackmail: “If you don’t give me a treat, I will play a trick on you”—the “trick” being anything from overturning garbage cans, soaping (or breaking) windows, or doing serious damage to property. This kind of vicious and antisocial behavior should not be tolerated. Most police departments must call in extra hands on Halloween to patrol the streets in an effort to protect private and public property. What began many years ago as a harmless holiday, celebrated by telling children scary ghost

Remember boots need to be rewaxed often and should be clean and dry before starting. When your boots aren’t being used, use a boot tree or roll heavy cardboard into tubes and insert them in the boots. Placing camphor in boots helps remove any foot odor after wearing. The same boots should not be worn every day, as they need to air, otherwise, bacteria may breed In the boots. I hope these boot hints will help you keep those nice leather boots looking beautiful for years. Heloise IRONING BOARD COVER Dear Heloise: If you have a nonstick surface ironing board cover that has seen its last days in some areas, don’t throw it away. Use the good areas to make potholders, barbecue mitts or hot pads. Use '*>ne side of the non-stick coated material, the other side can be a perky color or print to match your kitchen. You can make the lining from flannel or quilted material. These ;tre easy to do by just stitching all layers together on the sewing machine in a geometrical pattern and binding the edges with bias tape. Add a loop to hang them. —- Jody Marlin SAFETY TIP Dear Heloise: Here Ls a safety tip for campers or those who like to cook out on the grill.

stories about imaginary witches, goblins and spirits, has turned into legalized blackmail. Halloween has become scarier than ever, and I vote for abolishing the custom of trick or treat. * * * DEAR ABBY: Please settle a giant family dispute. Is your mother’s or father’s new spouse your stepfather or stepmother only if you are living with them? You are the only one who can settle this, so please put your answer in the paper as soon as possible. C.J. IN NEWPORT BEACH

My mother discovered that placing a child’s circular yard fence around the campfire made the evening much more worry free. The fence can be opened or collasped to the distance preferred and easily lifted from around the fire when the children are settled in for the night. It has given us many evenings of worry-free camping and has prevented a serious accident on more than one occassion. Jeanne Harris * * * This is great for all campers. Heloise CAKE FLOUR Dear Heloise: My daughter is married to a service man and they usually are stationed at small places and don’t have too much access to grocery stores. Lots of times she cannot get cake flour. I told her she could use regular flour, but 1 forgot how you could substitute it. Elizabeth Tost

DEAR C.J.: A stepmother is the wife of one’s father by a subsequent marriage, and a stepfather is the husband of one’s mother by a subsequent marriage. The relationship remains the same whether you live with them or not. (Do you hate to write letters because you don’t know what to say? Thankyou notes, sympathy letters, congratulations, how to decline and accept invitations and how to write interesting letters are included in Abby’s booklet, “How to Write Letters for All Occasions.” Send your name and address clearly printed with a cheek or money order for 52.50 and a long, stamped (39 cents) self-addressed envelope to: Dear Abby, Letter Booklet, P.O. Box 38923, Hollywood, Calif. 90038.)

You can use your all-purpose flour if you sift it well before measuring it and be sure not to pack it down. Reduce tne amount of allpurpose flour by two tablespoons per cup of flour called for in the recipe and do not beat the batter as long as you do when using cake flour. Remember if you don’t sift well and if you pack the flour down you will have a very dry cake. This seems to be the easiest method to substitute regular flour for cake flour. Heloise
