"While
[Daddy] was shaving [on Halloween] he thought he heard a car. On looking out he saw one driving down our
lane. He slipped out down to the road
and watched. After a little while a car
stopped close to the lane, several kids jumped out and headed for the
house. Daddy thought he'd drive the car
off but when he got there Betty Jones was in the car. Daddy tried to get her to get over so he
could drive. She jumped out as Daddy
drove the car home (it was Lloyd King's).
The kids had to walk home but not until they had torn up things in
general around home. Now Betty is sure
mad at Daddy but I think it's a joke on the jokers."
