Save on Pumpkins for Jack-O'-Lanterns

One pumpkin may serve for two lanterns when the Hallowe'en decorations are being planned, or one-half of each pumpkin may be used for pie, using the other half for the lantern. Cut the pumpkin through the center and substitute a piece of cardboard as a back in place of the other half of the pumpkin. Cut the face in the pumpkin. A flash-light may be used instead of a candle if there is danger of fire, or an old radio battery may be attached to a test tube on the inside of the pumpkin and the battery pasted on the back of the cardboard with adhesive tape. -Mrs. M.
