girls should not be deprived of their
fun on Halloween, but rather that

youngsters in the celebration and pro-
vide harmless but exhilarating fun, q
decision was reached at the close Of
the address Monday night to make
the celebration this year community
affair. The idea swept the audience
of men with a wave of enthusiasm
and suggestions and ideas for pro-
gram came thick and fast. The up
shot of it all resulted in the city being
divided into 10 districts, with leaders
appointed for each district. These

lowing night to perfect arrangements,
