A FEMALE JACK-O-LANTERN FACE - Mrs. Patrick Swope of 6797 Textile Rd. had that in mind when she designed this cover for the camping trailer she and her husband own. She dyed two 16-ft. bed sheets tangerine and then sewed them together. She then drew a feminine pumpkin face, complete with toothy smile, long eye lashes and curly hair framing a rotund face. The Swopes have the decorated camper displayed in their yard with a paper skeleton dangling from a short smoke stake mounted on the trailer top. (Press Photo)
