Mistaken Invasion It was on October 30, 1938, a Sunday evening and prime time for listening to the radio, that Orson Welles broadcast H.G. Wells science fiction story The War of the Worlds, a dramatization of a Martian invasion of Earth. No one anticipated that the story would cause a national panic. The broadcast began with an innocuous weather report and live music, which was interrupted with a news report detailing the sudden invasion of Earth by hideous aliens. When the actors realistically announced that Martians were wiping out major cities, listeners flew into a panic. As many as a million people believed the invasion was real. Welles thought the controversy would ruin his career, but the wild performance earned him a Hollywood contract and superstardom. Langley Adult Day Program 20256 56th Ave Langley BC V3A 3Y6 October is the tenth month of the year on the Gregorian calendar, though its name stems from the Latin octo, meaning eight. In early Roman times, October was the eighth month on the calendar. Old England referred to it as Winmonth, meaning wine month, as October s temperatures were ideal for making wine and cider. The Anglo-Saxons called October Winterfylleth because it marked and celebrated the beginning of winter.

TRIVIA In a Greek wedding tradition, the bride writes the names of all her single female friends on the sole of her shoe. After the traditional wedding dance, the shoe is examined, and those whose names have worn off are said to be the next in line for the altar. Did You Know? The word taxi is spelled the same in English, Spanish, German, French, Swedish, and Portuguese. Although many cultures have used spices since ancient times, they were not introduced to the European menu until crusaders returned with them from Eastern lands. For the nobility of Europe, highly spiced cuisine was regarded as a sign of wealth. Pepper, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, caraway, mustard, and ginger were among the favorites.

Flower of the Month Calendula The calendula is a member of the marigold family and is sometimes called the pot marigold. They are easy to grow and typically bloom quickly (in under two months from seed to bloom) in bright yellows, reds, and oranges throughout the summer and well into the fall. Birthstone Opal Those with October birthdays have a birthstone that changes color! These gems diffract light, and depending on where they were formed, they can be any number of different hues from reds and yellows to blues and greens to purples and blacks. the most common color is white, with a milky, opaque color, lending to the term opalescent, meaning showing varying colors as an opal does. It is said that opals have healing powers and even enable the wearer to find true love. Opals were considered to be very lucky in the Middle Ages, as it was believed that they held all the virtues of each gemstone whose colors could be found in the opal s impressive play of color. Their wide range of color still makes them a very desirable gemstone today. In fact, the opal engagement ring has increased in popularity in recent years.
HALLOWEEN The actual origin of Halloween has been argued by various historians with some who believe that Halloween found its roots in the Roman Pomona feasts that celebrated the Roman goddess of fruit and seeds and some believe that Halloween found its roots in Parentalia, the festival of the dead. While these two festivals seem to give something to the story of Halloween; however, it is the belief of the majority that the holiday of Halloween actually derives from Samhain, the Celtic festival which celebrates the end of the summer and the beginning of the darker days of the year. The superstitious Celts believed that during the latter half of the year as the days became darker much more quickly that the boundary between the other world and ours became so thin that spirits were able to move through to our world and cause havoc.
