Jeffrey, Robt, ke Cragg, - Buy WAR SAVINGS CERTIFICATES REGULARLY Myrtle Station The annual Hallowe'en supper un- der the auspices of the Woman's As- sociation, which was held on Wednes- day night of last week, was a decided success. The church basement was suitably - decorated with the usual black cats, bats, pumpkin faces, ghosts and festoons that make weird and eerie. Although costumes were few, yet the evening wis a jolly one. -One large black cat, the very largest ever seen in this neighbourhood, and walking on his hind feet--for He was none else than Puss-in-Boots, himself made his appearance on the scene. When it came time for the guests to sit down to tables, it was. decided to give the cat a dish of milk but he didn't want milk, so the queen said, "Off with his head". However, Puss didn't wait for some one else to do it, he took his own head off and then it wasn't a cat at all, but little Johnnie Kirkham!

The at- tractive feature of the programme was the presentation of a pyrex coffee percolator. to Mr. and Mrs. R. Thomp- son and a bill fold and key case, in brown morocco leather, to Jack. The following address was read: Mr. and Mrs. Thompson and Jack: TN was with considerable ve- gret that we, of this neighborhood learned that you were leaving our vil- lage for a new home in Oshawa; so we are under the necessity of bidding vou a reluctant farewell.
