HUBBARD WOODS Telephone 2985 Winnetka WHOLE ARMY OF SPOOKS INVADES NORTH SHORE Hallowe'en Pranksters Most Ac- tive in Winnetka; Police Are Kept Busy An entire regiment of Hallowe'en spooks, goblins, and witches invaded the quiet north shore Wednesday evening, centering their activities in Winnetka, where, until well near mid- night, the entire police department was kept on the jump. One hundred fifty boys caught in pranks of various kinds, some border- ing closely to vandalism, were rounded up at the village hall. At the conclu- sion of the festivities at Community House that evening, the police dele- gated a squad of the most ambitious of the youths in their custody to "K. P. duty" at Community House. In cleaning up Community House, they were given an opportunity to work off some of their surplus energy, which earlier in the evening had been exerted in the form of rolling large stones in- to the street, wasting scores of per- fectly good eggs hurled at buildings, and doing many other things. Fire Hydrants Turned On Fire hydrants at numerous places were found open and the water pour- ing into the gutter. Fourteen of the large metal signs at the street curb in the vicinity of New Trier High school were not only re- moved but hidden so securely that they had not been located up to noon the following day. These signs, it is said, each cost $8.50. A poor imitation of Jack Frost's artistic window decorating was seen throughout the business section of the village. Lawn gates, porch furniture, and automobile tires proved attractive play- things for the "witches." Police Cars Kept Busy Four police squad cars were kept going on "high" throughout the eve- ning, each car manned with two men who covered the village from one end to the other, breaking up groups of pranksters here and there, and haul- ing the most boisterous to the station. Sergeant Ed Cummings and Officer I. E. Barker, commanding one car, encountered a bunch of fifteen boys in the New Trier High school area, gave chase and captured many of them. Sergeant Harry Enault and Officer A. E. Facchini manned another car and brought in several loads. Officers Charles M. Bemus and Frank Rayburn, experienced as mo- torcycle "cops" in chasing speeders in cars, teamed against the Hallowe'en prank players and brought in their full quota. Officers J. H. Luensman and Wil- liam Cazel patroled in their car an- other section of the village which proved to be spook-infested. Officers Harold Lewis and William Amendola directed the cruise of a fifth car through areas where goblin activities were in full blast. » PIANO INSTRUCTION EARLE B.
