The origin of All Saints Day goes back to the early seventh century when the saints and martyrs of the church were first venerated. Since the Middle Ages pagan customs and beliefs about ‘evil spirits and the souls of ‘the dead have attached themselves to the festival.

Ghosts, witches, black cats, pranks, "trick or treat" and masquerades have been part of Hallowe‘en folklore from early times. r;n:mm g o o t t t t o t 8 i U IMPROYVE YOUR ABILITY TO THINK, REASON AND DISCUSS LOGICALLY The School of Economic Science for the 15th year in Ontario is offering its stimuâ€" lating, LOW COST Course in Basic Economics and Social Philosophy.
