Mabel (OF) (=] ¢ Halloween night was fine weather wise for hordes of small fry out for a Tricker Treat! Yours truly was pleased to see .- many little scary people all decked out for the big night to have a bit of fun! They were all cute and very polite. I missed a few kids who I suppose have outgrown Halloween! Trust they had a great evening! Remembrance Day Keeping the Faith! We trust Canadians every- where will remem- ber...solemnly and reverently on Nov. 11 - those immortal he- roes who sleep in foreign fields across the sea...those valiant sons of Canada who gave up life itself for the things in which they believed. The years pass...but time must not dim the memory of those inspiring chapters written into the histo- ry of our country. If we have re- membered...we have kept the faith!
