Hallowe'en Is Tamer- Due To 1953 Plumbing? By THE CANADIAN PRESS The witches, ghosts and goblins whose weird cries have startled Canadians on Hallowe'en are get- ting tame. This year many of them will be at school parties. The costumes of the little people will probably be as strange as ever, running from: cowboy suits to bo-peep dresses, but there'll be fewer yelling "shell out" and bang- ing drainpipes. A Canadian Press country-wide | survey shows more school associa- | tions and service clubs planning shindigs, with apple bobs, taffy pulls and popcorn balls, than ever before. The result is expected to be a decrease in mischief-making. Po- lice in most sections will have full staffs patrolling the streets, but little trouble is expected. Officers say the incidence of misplaced gar- bage cans and soaped windows, has fallen off since the school parties started. i Most serious Hallowe'en pranks are played by teen-agers rather than grade-school children, police Frontier College Splendid Idea Canada's Frontier College is an educational institution brin, migratory workers in camps an frontier areas rtunities for study and citizen development, re- lates the Regina Leader-Post. Its teachers are young university men who work side by side with the men during the day and serve as instructors when the day's work is done. These laborer-teachers, as are called, bring companionship, instruction, Canadianization and healthy ideas of citizenship to nav- 'vies, bushmen and campmen gen- er. all across Canada. WORK COVERED They introduce basic English to their foreign-born students and wider vistas to the English-speak- ing members of the community. In bther words, they irrigate a soil ¢ regarded as intel- lectually barren. The fact that they find it strangely fertile is the best proof that Frontier College is on the right track. Their own testimony as to what r down-to-earth experiences ve done for them proves that Frontier College is doing as much for its teachers as for its students. These young, carefully nurtured university men are, of course, coming face to face with a reality far removed from the higher-edu- cation curriculum and discovering in it an essential tonic denied them by more conventional en- vironments. One writes: "My experience in Frontier College work during the past two years has widened my horizon." Another puts it this way: "It is good to help others instead of working solely for my own gain." And still another: "The work is hard but healthy; the men are the salt of the earth." TOUGHER STUDENTS Canadians do not commonly think of lumber camps and mining and construction areas as seats of learning offering unique opportu- nities to delicately - bred urban Jouth in search of knowledge. evertheless, it works out that way in actual practice and pro- duces tougher university students ust as war service did not so ong ago. Frontier College makes no charge of any kind for its services in the camps. It relies wholly on the support of public-minded men and women. Frontier College's "One Year symbolic of its operational scale. The College has in mind '80 labor- er-teachers, 3,000 campmen en- rolled in classes, 12,000 listeners at discussions and 180,000 maga- zines and books provided by friends for men in frontier camps and adjacent settlements." Frontier College has been doing its own special t; of work ever since it was launched and charter- ed in 1900. It is, as the St. John Telegraph-Journal says, a move- ment of 'real national signifi- cance." With Governor-General Vincent Massey as its patron, Frontier College has an impressive board of governors. It includes cabinet ministers, members of Parliament and distinguished leaders in the rofessional and business fields. he administration is in the hands of the principal, Dr. E. W. Bradin. Seventeen colleges and universi- ties provided Frontier College's field staff. And incidentally, offer their students post graduate work and research opportunities' in the field of frontier adult education. The process of assimilation whereby new Canadians are ab- sorbed into their Canadian con- text in body and in spirit is con- stantly operative in established communities where school and church and business serve as its conscious or unconscious agents. But, on Canada's frontiers, with their floating populations seeking employment, wherever it offers, Canadianization is a different mat- ter entirely. This is what makes Frontier College and its function so valuable. Certainly, the prac- tical-minded men who organized it at the turn of the century put their fingers on one of Canada's essential needs. The recent big in- flux of immigrants makes that need more pressing now than it has ever been. And, in the inter- ests of Canada and its future, Frontier College must have the public support it so richly de- serves. ---- 'MORTGAGE LOANS AVAILABLE 18%2 KING ST. EASY PHONE 3-2269 ¥ OSHAWA Refinishing of Furniture Can Be Tough Job In refinishing old furniture, the preparation of the wood is as vital as the careful application of a new finish. Gordon Obrig, Fellow of the Industrial Designers Institute and an expert on wood and wood fin- ishes, has some practical tips for "do-it-yourself" hobbyists. After an old finish has been com- pletely removed with a suitable paint gover. Obrig Suggests spong e raw wood thoroug with pure turpentine to remove all traces of chemicals. "When tHe surface is dry," Obrig says, 'the wood should be 'care- fully rubbed with No. 00 steel wool followed by No. 00 sandpa- per. New wood should be prepared with steel wool and sandpaper in the same way." Thin coats of fresh' white shellac are recommended for the under- coat. Best results can be obtained by rubbing each coat with No. 00 steel wool or sandpaper before the next coat is applied. For a natural finish, Obrig then. rubs the final coat with a high quality carnuba paste wax for a final polish. "If it is desired to bleach or stain the wood," says, "it should be done with the raw wood bzfore any shellac is applied. When the surface has dried, the shellac coat will seal in the stain or bleach and give the color a richness which will be protected." NATO Readies Its A-Attack IZMIR, Turkey (AP) -- NATO commander General Alfred M. Gruenther said today NATO planes will be equipped to carry atomic bombs and that atomic guided mis- siles will be available "in a few years." Gruenther, talking to American, Greek and Turkish staff at NATO's southeast Europe headquarters in Izmir added also that more atomic artillery '"'will be arriving from time to time." He said these new weapons "will make it very difficult for a suc- cessful attack to be made against us." He expressed belief the Russians haven't enough strength in occu- pied Europe now to launch a suc- cessful attack without bringing in reinfortements from the homeland, iE 94 BRUCE ST. -BUY KOOLVENT VENTILATED ALUMINUM AWNINGS Use Our Install-Now-Pay-Laier Plan V2 DOWN -- Balance April 1, 1954 Without Interest or Carrying Charges FOR FREE ESTIMATES DIAL 5-4632 KOOLVENT AWNINGS OF OSHAWA vl H oe For doecrways DIAL 5-4632 say. This year many teen-agers are expected to attend house parties and school dances. Adults in many centres go in for house parties and church gath- erings, but most hotels are not planning 'special affairs. This year in Vancouver, at least 14 community groups plan par- ties for youngsters. They'll have bonfires, fireworks, candy and cos- tume contests. The old "trick-or-treat" cry is almost forgotten in Regina and Winnipeg. Stores there as in other Prairie cities are expecting a rush business on black-and-orange can- dies before the big evening Satur- day. Several dances are planned in Winnipeg. BUSINESS AS USUAL At Toronto, bigger hotels plan no special frolics for adults. Res- ervations for Saturday night dances are no heavier than on other week- ends. ' Firms renting costumes say they're getting the usual demand for witch and black cat outfits. In Ottawa, many youngsters will wear plastic masks that cover the head. Sale of these and other masks in Montreal is reported 'terrific' and stores report a greater run on candies. In Quebec, there'll be a special dance for adults at the Chateau Frontenac. Hallowe'en customs date back 2,000 years. The Romans feasted to honor Pomona, goddess of the fruit of trees, at t time of the year. The Druids held a harvest festival and thanksgiving. In its Christian association Hallowe'en means All Hallows' Eve or the eve of 'All Saints' Day, in honor of saints known and unknown. Sharon Smith of Rouge Hills tap- danced and did acrobatics; Nancy Campbell of Rouge Hills and Garry Williamson of Frenchman's Bay of- fered piano solos; Mrs. Marion McClement of Base Line, well known soprano soloist ¢' this dis- trict, sang as did Mrs. Gladys Par- ker of Pickering who is a contralto soloist while Al Crowhurst of Dun- barton, tenor soloist, and Chief Hill of the Pickering police, an Irish tenor, added their talent. The townsmen, four young men from Dunbarton under the leader-- ship of Langley Tunnell, gave sev- eral enjoyable numbers. Ronnie Dobbin and Grant King sang cow- boy numbers and the three Smith girls sang two pieces. Mrs. O. Synott of Rosebank added her tal- ent in the form of elocution, All in all it was a very enjoyable program and those' attending had an exceptionally good show for the money. The financial outcome was very gratifying and those on the committee wish to thank the artists for their help; also the newspapers who carried our news regarding the show; CKLB of Oshawa; the Lions Club of East Woodlands; E. Stroud and all who sold tickets or helped in any way to make the eve- ning such a success. PLAN FOR DANCE The club is now planning a dance for November 27 so keep that night open and more information will be available later. Don't forget the Home and School meeting of the Bay Road School on Monday, November 2. This time it will .be held in the United Church Hall. Please take note of the change of meeting. All interested in chil- dren are cordially invited to come. SCOUTS ATTACKED On Sunday morning Harry Cook and Jimmie Hern, leaders of Dun- barton Scout Troop, and both re- sidents of Frenchman's Bay, while at the Boy Scout camp on Valley Farm Road with seven othe. Scouts were suddenly fired on by three hunters in the district. | Mr. Cook and Mr. Hern tried to | persuade them to leave the prop- erty. but- to no avail. While Mr, Cook went for the police, one hunt- er covered the boys with a gun while the other two jumped on Mr. | Hern, hitting him over the head | with a rifle butt causing a gash | which required stitching, and Kkick- | ing him in the stomach and gener- ally giving him a thorough beating up and escaped before the police arrived.
