    For some people today is Halloween and for others it is the day to start
growing that winter beard.
    The November Beard Club asks: why rush out to buy warm clothing as the
weather cools when you can keep warm with your own beard?
    Club president Tahd Frentzel of Piedmont says about 100 members of the
eight-year-old club cast away their razors and shavers every year about this
time.
    He says the club has a theme song:

	The weather outside is frightful
	    but my beard is so delightful.
	And since I don't have to shave,
	    let it grow, let it grow, let it grow.

    And the club now has a web page and ultimately hopes that November will
be declared National Beard Month.
    A little club philosophy: ``A man's face is nothing but a canvas for
Mother Nature to paint with whiskers.''
