"PORT PERRY AND VICINITY -- HALLOWEEN hat many, many years ago the witches in looking found that every day in the year was dedicated ept October 31st. They accordingly, not wishing , made application to the reigning Pope of the er 31st be dedicated to the witches. It must have al day for the Pope or any other church dignitary when su ¥ 8h was granted. Of course, this is but one of many stories were current about the church, and need not be re- called but for the fact that in spirit we have taken it for granted that October 81st was. dedicated to witches, hobgoblins, and a spirit of riotous fun and destruction. In point of fact Hallowe'en is All Saints day--the time of all other times when supernatrual influences prevail, Once a year the people who are so inclined get into this spirit of uproariousness, and give vent to their feelings and the peculiar sense of humor which has an unaccountable attraction for outside closets and fences. Nearly every outhouse down town and some uptown was over- turned, and many fences were torn down. Of course this type of thing is great fun for the folk engaged in the outing; but it is hard on the victims; and seems to be very unnecessary display of destructive power. The net cost of the destruction to some people would be from $56.00 to $10.00. . Funny parades, tick-tacks, pumpkin faces, ghosts, and other such evidences of bubbling fun are not objectionable to any but In fact there is something to be said in favor of a rollicking good time for a people who are usually bound by convention in nearly all their entertainment. We don't laugh enough as a people, nor do we really have much fun that shows originality. Movies, sports, played by 'professional or picked teams, card parties and formal entertainments are the usual round of relaxation, and but seldom do we break loose as a people, and enjoy ourselves with any spirit of abandonment. Only one feature is really objectionable in Hallowe'en, and that is the destruction tendency and the rather peculiar attraction to remove outside closets. It needs to be kept within bounds ; because when fun oversteps the mark and becomes destruction, there is tragedy lurking around the corner. such cases was cited this year in Port Perry; but fortunately they did not become actual facts.

A people who were embued not with pirit- of Calvary, but a spirit of greed and selfishness. The ning of the Armistice sounded the death knell to their days of rfige profits at the cost of their country and the sacrifices of the ker of the world's young manhood. : 'AS a certain Rev. gentleman made the remark at a memorial service last Sunday, certain of his parishoners had made the re- mark to him that although it was All Saints week and All Saints Sunday, they did not think it was appropriate to have Saintly hymns for 'a soldier's memorial service, to which he disagreed. For while they may not have been Saints in a literal way, were they not embued with séme spirit of Christ of Calvary, who gave his life for others. = . v : The words of the hymn below are most appropriate of the Glorious Dead. 0 VALIANT HEARTS O valiant Hearts, who to your glory came Through dust of conflict and through battle-flame; * Tranquil you lie, your knightly virtue proved, Your memory hallowed in the Land you loved.

Smith New York, Nov. 7--Voting in un- precedented numbers, a myrid of American citizens yesterday chose Herbert Hoover of California for President of the United States and Charles Curtis of Kansas for Vice- President. How pronounced is the vietory of these candidates of the Republican party over their Democratic com- petitors, Alfred E. Smith of New York, nominee for President, and Jos. T. Robinson, of Arkansas, the Vice Presidential nominee, cannot be de- termined until this stupendous task of counting 40,000,000 or more votes is completed, but something like a Re- publican landslide took place at the polls and it will be reflected in a heavy Hoover-Curtis majority of the 6531 ballots in the Electorial College. Mr. Hoover is assured of at least 334 electoral votes. It is probable that his majority will increase as further returns are received. He has broken the traditional Democratic "Solid South," for Virginia returns show a majority for him in that state. Governor Smith has only 88 elect- oral votes to his credit. According to the returns received, Massachusetts, Maryland, Missouri, Wisconsin, Mon- tana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota and Arizona are still in the doubtful column. Sendtors Elected--14 Republicans, 7 Democrats, 1 Farmer-Laborite, 18 doubtful. It will be some days before the total returns are given out, nn (}) Orem.
