School cadets from - Burlington and Oakville, spent the day at the Long Branch Ranges. The weather during the day was ideal for range with the result that many excellent scores were obtained. The weapons fired were the rifle and Bren light machine gun. All the participants seemed anxious to return on our next visit to the ranges. During the interval between visiits to Long Branch, everyone is keeping in condition by firing the .22 rifle on our indoor range at the Armoury. Much keen riv- alry results, as members of the Regiment, and High School ca- dets, challenge and counter-chal- lenge in an effort to reach the top position of the challenge board.

DAILY TEEN TOWN By Don Lovegrove Ghosts, ghosts and more ghosts haunted the gala Hallowe'en party last Friday evening. Uncanny power cut-offs and bleating horns made unscheduled appearances and helped to add to the horror of this spooky affair. To top it all off every one was taken on a ghost walk through the rink, a walk which some will never for- get. Tipping ramps, wet string hanging from the ceiling, logs in the aisle and the complete dark- uess were the, main obstacles while clanging' chains, blood thirsty screams and the loud re- port of a shot «gun supplied the sound effects. Some of the 'sound effects were drowned out by the screams of the "victims," parti- cularily the girls. Don't tell mie you're afraid of the dark girls? Despite a disappointing at- tendance many fine costumes were on display to make the judges stop and think. One fellow came pretty well lit (with elec- tric lights that is) and walked away with first prize while an- other stole Lana Turner's sweat er girl title to win the most com- ical. Last but not least came "Touchdown" Osborne and "Cheer Leader" Herbert to take the hon- ours for the best couple. Teen Town received a face lifting last week during decorat- ing sessions « and: lo and behold we have a comfortable lounge where -the ping pong table once stood. Said table by the way will undergo repairs and be placed on the stage as soon as the stage can be cleaned up. A new addition also was the little red suggestion box by the canteen counter. Three sugges- tions were entered on Friday and all will receive an airing at the next council meeting One how- ever has prompted us to leyel criticism at the writer, who serib- bled the two words "new music" on his slip and shoved it in the box. All the records have been sorted and filed and every effort is being made to keep up to date on all the latest discs with what money is available. We now have close to 150 records in the library to choose from and although some. people think the music should be played to suit them, let's remem- ber that not everybody likes the same recordings. Let's give John Ford a chance and not be always complaining. After all you can't please everyone, . Teen Town returns to its veg: ular Friday night dance this week. Here's hoping we will ses a little better turnout than last Friday. TROUBLED TUMMIES The great tragedy of ulcers is that you can have 'em and still not be a success.
