TrOuble-Free
Halloween
Appeal Made
Events In Area
Communities
Offer Activity

Halloween has beer time for
fun, but not for pranks, in Farm
vile for the past several years.
Police Chief Otto S. Overton and
Sheriff James T. Clark asked the
cooperation of area citizens in
keeping it that way again this
year
Last year Farmville was for
tunate in not having a single H.
ciden. of unpleasantness, which
Chief Overton said is due to the
fine cooperation of local adults
and children.
The local police authorities al
SO believe that an "ounce of pre-
vention is worth a pound of
cure and all precautions will
be taken to prevent destructive
pranks this Halloween. Chief
Overton said all extra duty po-
icemen will be working Halo
ween night. All police cars will
be in use plus a number of un-
marked cars on patrol.
The new walke-talkie radio
urit. purchased recently by the
town, will be used to keep po-
licemen on foot patrol in con-
slant contact with headquarters
and the police cars. The down
town area will be patroled close
ly by policemen on foot.
The football game originally
set for Friday night has been
moved up to Thursday night so
the teachers can attend the YEA
convention on Friday. This
makes the game fall on Halo
Ween, and Chief Overton said it
should cut down on some traffic
early in the evening. He asked
the cooperation of students and
football fans in going straight
home after the game.
Overton also pointed out that
the clWfeW law enacted la S
December requires all juveniles
be off the streets by midnight.
Events Scheduled
A number Of events in the
Herald area are scheduled to
help keep Halloween free of

Ellis said the most simple form
of a trade association is fousd
when business men and interest
ed individuals in community
band together to form a Cham
her Of Commerce. These local
chambers of commerce and the
larger trade associations are
competing business units that
have united into a single body to
expand general business, and to
improve the interests Of industry.
Most of the activities of these
associations are international in
character.

Less than that amount would

The new signs, while not deny

are reminders to hunters, wood

fields are bone dry now. Any
careless act on their part could
be disastrous.
