Meatloaf-O-Lantern: A Nutritious Halloween Supper

An Old Timey Hallowe'en

Today's post will only be clippings I found from the first part of the the 20th Century.  Halloween from that era hits differently as it seems more mysterious and superstitious.  Enjoy!

Halloween Insurance

Some clever kids back in 1978 raised money for Unicif by selling Halloween insurance.  I wonder if they had a busy Nov. 1st cleaning up toilet paper streamers and washing off egg splattered houses.

Okay, I couldn't help myself and for fun I asked A.I. to make us a Halloween Insurance Policy brochure.  The original one was probably a hand drawn mimeographed brochure the kids made.  Hopefully someone saved an original one.
