Popping corn moved from an Indian treasure to an integral part of America when it joined turkey on the menu at the first American Thanksgiving.

Probably the earliest method of getting the corn to pop was to toss the kernels on the glowing coals and let it pop. The technique became more sophisticated with the laying of stones on the fire and placing the kernels on top of the rocks. Almost all of the popcorn consumed in the world is grown in the United States with Indiana being one of the major popping corn producing states. This is the perfect time to let readers in on some amazing facts about popping corn. Americans consume more popping corn than anyone else in the What do Valentine's Day, Thanksgiving and New Year's have in common? They are all days of celebration.

But popcorn doesn't have a day of celebration it has a whole month October, celebrated every year as National Popcorn Month. Not only is popcorn a popular snack it ranks in the list of the top 10 favorite foods and has been around for centuries. When early European explorers crossed the Atlantic Ocean, they discovered popcorn was more than just an important food source to the native Indians. On his way to North America, Christopher Columbus encountered West Indies natives hawking popcorn decorations that resembles corsages. The Spanish explorer, Hernando Cortes found that the Aztecs also used popcorn as a decoration, embellishing their Dear Abby HILIJi TO PROVIDE FREE SPOT-A-TOT ARMBANDS FOR HALLOWEEN TRICK-OR-TREATERS For the third year in a row, Hills Department Stores is providing free fluorescent "Spot-A-Tot" armbands to help ensure the safety of youngsters on Halloween night.

had devised a way to learn the whereabouts of her son. When Millard's first letter arrived, my mother ran to her purse, and pulled out a small map of the world (approximately 6 inches by 6 inches) cut from a national magazine. Opening the letter, which contained several sentences cut out (censored), she placed the left-hand corner of the letter to the left-hand corner of the map, noting a small pinhole placed there by my brother, and announced, "Millard's ship is in the middle of the South Pacific!" (He had an identical map.) So, throughout the war, we always knew his approximate location. R. IN OKLAHOMA CITY DEAR ABBY: In World War II, I was sent overseas and wanted my wife to know where I was, so I asked her to let me know the name of the song on the reverse side of Eddie Duchin's theme song.

She looked it up and found it to be "April in Paris." She knew I was in France. HOWARD E. DIEHL, MOMENCE, ILL. DEAR ABBY: I just read your column in which "Hearing Things" complained of hearing music in his head. I have just finished reading a book titled "The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat," by Dr.

Oliver Sachs. The author told of more than one patient who heard entire "concerts" in his head. They were not hallucinations, but real memories triggered by a neurological problem. These patients are not some are epileptic, and a few may have tumors that trigger the stored music memories. I am not a doctor, but this person who is hearing things should see a neurologist.

ANNA F. JACOBS, TUSCALOOSA, ALA. DEAR ABBY: During World War II, I wanted my wife to know that I had moved from Iceland to England (1943), so I simply went into the city of Newquay, Cornwall, bought a postcard with a picture of Newquay, Cornwall, on it, addressed it to my wife and mailed it through the British postal system. Not very original or clever, but the funniest part is this: When I asked the little gray-haired lady at the post office, "How much is the postage for a card to the United States?" she replied, "Why, just the same as to the rest of the colonies!" K.P. CHISHOLM, SUNRIVER, ORE.

DEAR ABBY: I submit the following for your collection of how some people beat the censors during World War II: One American G.I. was held prisoner in a German prison camp. He wrote his friend the following: "The food here is fine, the living conditions are excellent and all the prisoners are being treated very, very well. Please tell this to all your friends in the Army, your pals in the Navy, and above all, tell it to the Marines!" His letter passed through the German censor unmarked. C.Q., SPRINGFIELD, VT.

DEAR ABBY: When my husband (8th Air Force) was shipped out, he wrote, "I can't tell you where we are, but Nick would love it here!" Our 11-year-old son immediately said. "Dad's in Labrador!" We had a dog a Labrador named Nick. Incidentally, said son became a career Army officer. BEE BURNHAM, SAN JOSE DEAR Ab I was 11 years old when my oIK3t brother, Millard, was shipped overseas on the battleship South Dakota. I learned later that before he left home, our mother DEAR READERS: I asked if readers out there had used a secret code to let their loved ones know their whereabouts during World War II.

Did I get letters! Read on: DEAR ABBY: My mother showed me some of the letters she had received from my father while he was in the Marines. They had devised the following scheme to let her know where he was: In addressing each letter, he'd use a different middle initial to spell out his location. His first letter was addressed to Betty the second to Betty the third to Betty A. and the fourth to Betty M. He was on GUAM! It took 1 1 letters to let her know that he had been moved to Guadalcanal.

D.L.S., CHALFANT, PA. DEAR ABBY: You asked your readers to share their "codes" used during World War II to. let their loved ones know where they were. I'm reminded of the following: A radio personality named May-naxd Spease told the following ctory on WCCO in Minneapolis: A Minnesota farm boy joined the U.S. Navy and left home for the first time.

His first letter to his father went something like this: "Dear Dad: I can't tell you where I am, but yesterday I shot a polar bear." A few weeks later the father received another letter from his son saying: "Dear Dad-1 can't tell you where I am, but last night I danced with a hula girl." The farmer didn't hear from his sailor son for several weeks. Then he received this message: "Dear Dad: I still can't tell you where I am, but the doctor says I should have danced with the polar bear and shot the hula girl." E.B. LINDBERG, MINN.
