November 01, 1934

THE NEW YORK TIMES, New York, November 1, 1934

* Halloween night
* 1st year "trick or treat"


This 46 page newspaper has a two column headline on page 3: "Street Fights Mark Halloween in Harlem; 400 Parading Children Battle With Stones".

See photos for text. According to Wikipedia, this was the first time "trick or treat" was used in the national media in the United States.

Other news of the day throughout. Rag edition, some front page damage, otherwise nice.
