equate. That is categorically false." Halloween From 1B It's easy to be scared, just knowing that the old two-story house is a former funeral home. The first warning to guests: "Touch no one, and no one will touch you." Proceeds from the haunted house, which will be open through Oct. 29, except on Sunday, will help fund the $600,000 Ronald McDonald House under construction on the grounds of University of Mississippi Medical Center. The haunted house will be open from 7 to 10 p.m.

Monday through Thursday and from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m. Friday and Saturday. A Ronald McDonald House is a home where parents of critically ill children can stay while their children are in the hospital. Parents of patients at University of Mississippi Medical Center Chil- dren's Hospital will be able to stay at the facility for $8 a night or whatever they can afford.

The first Ronald McDonald House was opened in 1974 in Philadelphia, now there are more than 80 across the country. Lynn Ross, president of Lovebilt a nonprofit organization spearheading the fund drive for the Ronald McDonald House, said he hoped the haunted house would net $15,000 to $12,000. This is the third year Lovebilt has sponsored a haunted house. Taylor Thornhill, 8, and his mother, Margaret Thornhill, 33, were the first customers at the haunted house Friday night. "I'm not scared," Taylor kept repeating before entering.

During the tour, he held as tightly to his mother's arm as any little boy could. TRIVIA ANSWERS 1. Frank E. Smith, a native of Sidon, who also distinguished himself while serving as a U.S. congressman from Mississipi's 3rd District (1951-1962).
