James has been acting editor for two weeks during the absence of the other editors at the World's Fair." The Sub-Editor 50 years ago was the "Whistling Jim" of today, and he well remembers filling in for the Senior Editor and Miss Haycraft. He was not quite as wise or pru- dent as he is today, and ran two or three items that stirred the editor of the News (opposition paDer) to remark in his next edition that "There is a smart aleck with a sorrel topknot ventîl- ating himself on one of the local papers this week who should be writing a funny column in a U.S. paper where his brand of wit would be appreciated."

Memories of hilarious Hallowe'en pranks made us wonder what the young- er generation may think of next. The initiative and energy of the kids who go out witching on thé 3th of October may prove ex- pensive when we try to find a handyman to repair the night's damage. Before the war many organiz- ations sponsored "magic" parties; householders bought candies and nuts to sheli, out to youthful mas- queraders and mothers held candymaking parties in the homes. This year amateur van- dalism and oodles of candies and nuts, or ingredients to make candies, are "out." Many have already made plans for Hallowe'en. Organizations have planned war service cam- paigns. Householders in some localities are purchasing printed Mîlk for Britain tickets and the costumed teams are to receive these as their loot, turn them into the school or place of meeting where the children may gather for a chaperoned party. After ahl, what would Hallowe'en be with- out grandma's dress or father's pants to disguise you. Such fun as costume parades, bobbing for apples and pin-the-tail-on-the- donkey until the masquerade is over, will conclude another mem- orable Hallowe'en.
