(1964 November 2)
Halloween we gave out 50 5-cent bars, 10 sticks gum, 2 lifesaver packages, and 23 cookies! Next morning we saw my jack with flashlight in it was stolen. Radio said some meanie on South Side sacked up her garbage and handed it out to them. And everyone is talking about the NY woman who gave out poison.
Polly Kay (1904-1997) vividly and with humor describes her life in Richland Center, Wisconsin, in excerpts from letters to her son Skip written after 1949, including her 5 last years in an old folks' home.
