Watch Out For Goblins Remind your children about the traffic before they go out. Stress looking both ways before erossing, and the fact that they may be hard for drivers to see. Leave your porch light on so youngsters won‘t tumble. Drivers should remember on Hallowe‘en night tlfat there‘s always a chance that some small ghost may forget to be careful, and then his chance depends on you. Have a child use a makeâ€"up face instead of a mask, which makes vision difficult. Fluoresâ€" cent tape as trim makes a difâ€" ference to the visibility of a dark costume. See that costumes are easy to move and walk inâ€"not high heels and tight skirts for little girls pretending to be big ones, or dresses long enough to trip on. The Ontario Safety League says they may present a special traffic hazard when they dash unseeing across a street with their mind on loot.

The Centennial Dance sponâ€" sored by the choir of Queensway United Church was greatly enâ€" joyed by all who attended, last Friday night.

"Whiskers," the tall, wellâ€" dressed man shouted, "I said get the stick!" s Whiskers : raced across the field. He ‘nosed about the clover, found a stick, and brought it back to the man. He wagged his tail, feeling rather proud of himself. A chipmunk scurried across their path and darted up the Atrunk of a beech tree where he scolded the man and dog in a grand style. When the man pointed out the scolding chipâ€" munk to the terrier but got no response he lost all his patience. "Whiskers," he yelled, "can‘t you do anything? You can‘t even flush a robin or find a rabbit hole to sniff. You can‘t even chase a noisy little chipmunk. Youâ€"you, stupid, useless mutt! Why, for two cents I‘d give you away just to be rid of your stupidity." "No! No! That‘s not the stick I threw. Is that head of yours empty, Whiskers?" He pulled out a sandwich from his jacket pocket and started to break it in half but decided against it.

Right from the start Whiskers lost his heart to the pretty ‘tenâ€" yearâ€"old girl and | practically knocked her down in his efforts to reveal his affection. "Are you going to be around here for a few more Sirt" j "Yeah. Yeah, I reckonâ€"I‘ll be around for about another fifteen minutes. Why ?" "Would you â€" could I please take Whiskers for a ‘walk with me down to the lake ?" He was more than glad to be rid of the clown for a while. Once away from his stern master Whiskers behaved as if he were in an entirely different world. But then being with this Aappy, friendly little girl in yelâ€" low was like being in another world. She told him stories, patted him on the head, hugged him, played hide and seekâ€"and did everythingâ€" his master did not. He‘d do anything for his newâ€"found friend. June picked up a piece of driftwood and tossed it out into the lake. She bent down near the small black dog and whisperâ€" ed in the kindest voice Whiskers had ever heard: "Would you please get the stick for me, Whiskers ?" Without hesitating, Whiskers plqued into the water and got the stick for the girl. She patted his wet head and gave him a cookie as a reward. He wagged his tail furiously and barked several times. In the next few minutes June praised Whiskers more than the sad dog had ever been praised in his life. The tall man nodded his head 993 u 1895 Reg. 16.98 to 25.00.

Naturally, he exâ€" pected to be scolded t his cowâ€" ardice. But that was not the way June treated frightened dogs. Instead, she picked him up in her arms and told him all about beavers. He wished he could stay with June forever. It was so much ‘"Thanks for letting me have Whiskers, Mister," June said as she led the dog back to the man who didn‘t seem interested in having him back. "If I ever had a dog â€" I never did in my whole life â€" I wish he was like Wihiskers." fun being with her. He dreaded returning to his master. At last they had to go back. The tall man laughed loud and long. He couldn‘t see what a person would want with such a stupid, useless dog as Whiskers. "I was thinking while you were gone, Miss," he said, "I‘ll tell you what I‘ll do. I‘ll give you Whiskers just so that I can be rid of his stupidity." 3 June started to protest but he wouldn‘t listen.
