Therefore the fall activities are more or less curtailed and various organi- zations in this section cannot make any definite plans. The Community Club were in hopes of having a Halloween party, but there seems to be so much work unfinished that 1t was a question whether or not they could use the hall by the end of the month, and committee was appointed to get in touch with Supt of Parks James J. Curtin, to have some action taken with the WPA.
 A special meeting of the Rubbish Removal committee at the home of Chairman John J. Dzick took place last evening, it was agreed that representatives from each club should attend the meeting of the Board of Alderman, next Monday night, October 7th, to hear the re- port of the special committee ap- pointed by the mayor who have visited the various cities now hav- ing this system in force. We hope that their action on this ordinance will be favorable.
 Friday being the first Friday of the month, masses at St. Francis Church will be at 5:30, 6:30 and 7:3O a. m. Confessions will be held Thursday afternoon and evening.
