Page GEORGETOWN HERALD THURSDAY OCTOBER 1B71 Skate Teachers Have 235 Pupils For the second straight year Georgetown Figure Skating Club Verhaegon of Georgetown Sharon Dwyer Acton and Rick of Oak as their teaching professionals The club season started October with pupils enrolled An annual highlight of the skating club year is their ice carnival which always at tracts a full house at the Memorial Arena This seasons spectacular will be held in February fourteen hours of instruction are provided by the club weekly with sessions Monday afternoons and Wednesday and evening and Sunday afternoon In the Mall Bag Says A Sunday Halloween Inconsistent with Teaching The Editor Dear Sir item in last Thursday edition of The Georgetown Herald relative to Halloween has caused a great deal of con It was with much surprise we read that Council had reversed Committees decision to hold Halloween on Saturday October and now it is to be on the Sabbath This of course is not the time this question has come up and it would appear of the times that even Sunday is not to be exempt Granted Sundays are wide open with games and sports of all kinds movies etc but this is a free choice as to whether the Individual wishes to attend a game or a movie The argument might be given that the indivi dual does not have to shellout unless he wishes to do so Correct but his house Is not free from children coming for their treats Certainly the individual is not free to go out or even to entertain family or friends on that evening It is a regular fact that the little ghosts and witches start coming by GOO and continue until at least to by which time more than a hundred have come to the door This year with the stores ad verlising Halloween as October and the Town saying tober what do the children say The older ones at least say they will go both nights We each our children to attend Sunday School every Sunday and to respect this day How is this consistent with the fact that the same day we shoo them out to take part In an ancient pagan custom dating back to the Druids Perhaps the time has come to abolish this form of Halloween Let the children have their parlies to celebrate A return to the simple games such as dunking apples is surely a good deal more fun than wandering up and down dark streets often in Ihe rain getting candy and pies all of which have to be in for needles blades and drugs Any mother will tell homemade candy is suspect of drugs unless the child Baedeker the well known books on travel were named for Karl Baedeker a German publisher and founder of long series of guide books knows exactly which friend ighbour has donated it us take a good long look the whole Idea of Hall owe en as it is celebrated today but first of all let us keep the Sabbath free Yours very
