Immediately following the Coro- nation, all youngsters are invited to enter the Halloween Costume Contest, and vie for prizes for the prettiest, funniest and most origin- al costumes. Around noon there will be a basketball game—girls vs. boys. The boys have agreed to play by girls’ rules, but both teams are out to win so it should be an exciting game. All three of these contests are under the direction of Althea Has- kin sand Dora Martirlez, and Al- thea has also lent her time and talents to the making of delightful littl® snowmen—perfect for the Kiddie Koop set—which will go on sale in one of the colorful booths tomorrow. Among other booths which pro- mise to fascinate the youngsters, is the “Goose Neck”—a long-neck- ed goose, not unlike Ollie, the single-toothed dragon of TV fame —where the goose, manipulated by Delia Yates, Bertha Lopez and ‘Marguerite Rotz — will hand out surprise packages to its eager cus- tomers. Then there’s the Witch’s Pot with its intriguing brew, stirred by Mrs. F. Romeka, Mary Lytell, and Edna Lee. An Archery Range, under the supervision of Fran Loeblich and Pat Wheeler; a Dart Shoot, direct- ed by Martha Southcott, Nell Kin- gersake and Dorothy Ballantine; and a Candle Flick, managed by Pauline Vecchione and Onelia Baldwin will test the youngsters’ skill as they aim for prizes.
