partition were Sank Centre youths
put to flight spirits Of depreda-
ton Thursday evening in Sank
Centres now annual and growing
insurance plan against Halloween
pranksters.
Instead a spirit of fun, that ev-
en- an all day rain and a cold misty
drizzle couldn't stop, reigned SUI
preme.
For the third successive year
the old time Halloween with
its next morning cleanup, its
special police, maruading bands
Of youths was blitzlxrieged right
out Of the picture.
Third now in the annual party
given by oldsters for youngsters,
who forego Halloween depreda-
tions in return, the party this year
reached even greater proportions
than. the first and second, found

Legion and the Sank Centre We'll

listing the aid Of other civic groups,

school faculty, the other workers,
the organizations that were finan-
cial donors and all the others who
helped make the party the success
it was.

Just how much Of a job it is to
feed and entertain nearly 900
youths is gained from the roster
Of food and paraphernalia used.

wieners, 1900 buns, 100 bottles of
pop, 200 bottles Of chocolate milk,
all Of which the committees saw
melting into youthful stomachs in
the five separate parties. There
were several hundreds of horns,
caps and masks.
The affair opened with a parade
down Main Street and Third to the
playground that rocked the old
town with youthful shrieks in what
has long been regarded as the most
boisterous parade this city sees in
any year. More than 800 entered
spiritedly into the noise as the
procession, lead by the American
Legion band, snaked down the
street in the early evening mist.
At the Fairgrounds the huge bon
fire was lighted, symbolic now of
the chasing away of the evil spir-
its Of the evening.
Then into the Community Club
rooms, the school buildings, the
Armory and Episcopal Church par
ish house poured the youths in five
separate parties, divided along age
lines that included students from
both of the city's schools. While
