10 This was indoed a surprise bifr-hday party for Tom. Ned r told Tom about the whole set-up. The mysterious boy going past Tom was Ned s cousin, Tom's mother sent him to the library purposely to have Tom get the note in that Tanner. During the party, Tom was talking to all of his friends. Tom told them about how he thought it was Ned in front of th3 library. When Tom told them about his getting a littlo scares» they all laughed and Tom replied, This has been the most myster- ious birthday I have ever had. David Westcot '60 GHOSTS—OUT OP DATE? Now in these days of T,V,, rockets, missiles, and juvenile delinquents, it seems that everyone pooh-poohs the existence of ghosts. Why, a self-respecting ghost can't oven haunt a house decently, without being lauphed down. Anyone who attempt» to relate an episode of this type, however truthful, is virtually sneered at. Well, just between you and me, of course, you really do believe in ghosts, now don't you? Take the time vou went to Aunt Jane's and slept in the room where Uncle Henry had died twenty years before, and which he was asid to haunt nightly. Just becau-se you closed the windovr twice, it being chilly, and then found, it opened almost immediately each time, that doesn't moan a thingj It could have fallen down. But noiselessly? .. • - • t Remember the time wo visited Cousin Ralph up at hiB old. farm house in the mountains? It was near the place where Tom Dooley was hanged and we saw the very white oak tree that he swang •from. At night, from a distance, it looked kike a man hanging there; now isn't that ridicuipus? It must have been a boar. You know how they stand up on their hind logs-look almost like a man. Speaking Of bears, Cbitiift Ralph told ffie ho aftd a friend were planning to go befir huhtihg in the next state, the following season. Seems a bear hasn't been shot in those mountains for over thirty years. Oh well, I supDose you're right. Ghosts and all that sort oi gobbledy-gook is just a sill piece of someone's overworked imagination. I mean most of them have problably had to retire ■go make room for more up to date horrors, such as: The Blob , ’’ iocnnge Frankenstein,'• Sek (teenage son of Shriek ) aid mens tire from out of space.
