No. 4 5 ve THE COLUMNIST royally and in Dryden. no depression last Countless masks. pounds of lamp black, boxes of apples, sacks of peanuts, hun- dreds of doughnuts, lots of every- thing, and a general feeling of cheer and friendliness. I never saw a better Hallows e'en, and I have seen'. many kinds. : The police force was not evi- dent, but the evidence of its force was felt. I may be wrong, I sometimes am, but I feel somewhere that there was less wanton and actual damage this year, than any here- tofore. There was perhaps more house to house calling than other years. Maybe this is the new style. I hope so. . A few gates changed hands, a few barrels, iron culverts, and cord wood was rolled on the streets by warlocks and witches, but no damage to speak of.

Tremendous credit 1g due to the organization in the Pulp Mill Hall, where several hundred children masked, Played ganes and paraded under t the eyes of sheathed stern mentors and moni- tors. It was rather a pretty scene. It was a lovely scene. Little tots, older and still older boys and girls, all representing some- thing, and hoping, of course, for a prize. Scarcely any time out of control, nearly always under discipline but. I certainly did not envy the judges. Then came the supper and home, because good boys and girls must be in bed by ten 'o'clock. In the interval of gathering and the parade, children ani guiding grown-ups played games "Ring around the Rosy," "'Far- mers in the Dell,' ""Tiondon Bridge," and "In and Out the Window.' My how I wanted to play, how I wanted to shove that huge bulk of mine, in and out the window, but pride, corns, callouses, varicose veins, ingrow- ing toe nails, kept me sitting down. And, safely home in bed, I snored while the witches, rode the broomsticks past my w indow to the sky. Such was Dryden's Topo innocent, simple 1932 Hallowe'en. ) CER () GED () GEER) CE () CURD (SE () 3 VALUE must mean SATISFACTION -- and in PROUDFOOT "Clothes of Quality' there is a real satisfaction based upon value.

GIBSON, Agent CANADIAN LEGION DATES to REMEMBER We wish to impress upon the public what we consider suffic- ient reason for keeping open the following dates: Friday, Novem- ber 11th; Saturday, November 12th; and Sunday, November 13th. On Friday the eleventh we are celebrating Armistice Day with our usual Whist Drive and Dance. Our object is frankly to make money, but we realize that in order to separate the contribut- ing public from their money, we must provide some entertainment in return, in other words give value for their money. Thig year we have made slight departure from our usual proceedure in that instead of the conventional whist prizes, we have been fortunate in securing from Mr. Pitt a hind quarter of Hudson Bay red rose beef to he delivered to the winner on any date specified. Mr. C. J. Wright bas donated a 48-pound hag of flour. J. Hardie 20 pounds of sugar. O. H. Pronger a conso- lation prize. It has been suggested that prizes of this kind, in addition to the other prizes, might he more acceptable than something of a purely ornamental nature, These past few years have been heen wery hard on some of our people and heavy calls have in consequence been made on our funds, so we have no sense of imposition in asking the public to help us by patronizing ou" dance on Friday, and we think that whether you win a prize or a 1 not, you will get value for your money. On Saturday, November 12th, at 7.80 p.m. the Annual Re- Union Dinner will be held in the Pulp Mill Hall. Here again we are making a slight departure from the estab- lished custom. The programme is in. charge of Mr. A. Pitt, and to relieve the stiffness usually wggociated with formal dinners, Mr. Pitt has arranged that all those speaking are to be limited to five minutes in which to exer- cise their talent. Mr. J. Cross will be present and with part of his band from agle River will assume charg: of the musical end of the pro- gramme. In holding the dinner in the Pulp Mill Hall and reducing the price of admission, we feel that this might induce more ex-ser- vice men to join in an atmos phere of good fellowship and conviviality. Any programme under the direction of Mr. Pitt is bound to be at least alive, and Mrs. Gordon's rendition of a turkey dinner needs no comment. The Remembrance Day Service on Sunday should be largely at- tended as a tribute to those who have passed on and a tradition to those who follow. The object of Remembrance Day is not so much to extoll the glories of war as to perpetuate the epic of heroism and sacrifice, not of legendary heroes, but of our own people--fathers. and brothers of our own generation. To teach the coming generation that the price of victory musi be paid in the blood and suffer- ing of those who place duty to. their country before everything without counting the cost. We ask the cooperation of the Poy Scouts and Girl Guides, ete., | to attend this service, to tender their tribute and receive the message which Mr. Howes will deliver on the promise and hope of the future. Don't forget Poppy Day. Give what you can remembering that vour contribution however small will help some disabled man who gave his strength for you. The Donte Government has proclaimed Friday, November 11th, a national holiday, to be a day of nation-wide observance. In Manitoba the weekend is be- ing observed as a public holiday and schools and business houses will remain closed to permit proper observance of our day of remembrance. Can we do less? --Adsum. Card of Thanks William Tuck wishes to thank everyone for the kindness and sympathy extended to him dur- ing his recent sad bereavement. $ OXDRIFT YOUNG PEOPLE RE-ORGANIZE The Oxdrift Young People's Society met Thursday evening, Octoher '7th, to hear the report People's Conference in Kenore After considerable discussion it was decided to enlarge on their programme.
