HA I.l.0"EN llallo» «'en Day will be her«again at the end of this month, and already hopes are being expressed that it will not be charact- erizerl by the destruction which has sometimes spoilt its celebration. It is the children's night, the night when all is fu» and revelry, and the ycung- er generation take charge of the municipality and con- duct its affairs in the happy and care-free manner of youth. The grown-ups stand by, an&1, in watching th«odd costumes of the small mummers and listen- ing to their shouts and laughter, )ive over again long past Hallowe'ens when they, too, were children. It is to be hoped that the weather will be fine on this 81st October and that fun will reign supreme through- out the evening. Gates, which can be easily remov- ed without damaging the hing«s and other stationary objects which are loose may take short journeys, and other forms of harmless amusements known to every boy and girl will doubtless be indulged in. But we hope it will stop at that. Next morning there should still be smiles on all faces as wellon the young celebrants while recounting their ex- ploits the previous evening as on the grown-ups view- ing what the children have managed to accomplish in a fe» short hours. There is not a boy or girl who does not realize just where fun ends and destruc- tion begins. IVhen that line is overstepped, their honor becomes involved,and every school boy and school girl knows what that means. IVest Vancouver this llallowe'en is placing its faith on the honor of its sons and daughters. EI:ive your fuii, but don't try to get it at too gi «at an ex- pense to the other fellow, The police have issued an official warning in this is- sue that, » hile ordinary fun-making will not be int- erfered with,destruction of property or street lights »ill result in prosecution. '1'he bo&s of the district should get »ise to this and realise that they erin have their fun, but must not over step the limit. RNS'1IENDIIENT TO '.

Rogers at that point was sent to them on 15th J"nuary, and that in the opinion of the council the government should decide whether or not it encroaches on the foreshore, and further that in the opinion of the majority of the council it does not interfere with the beach. This resolution was car- r'ed, Councillors Jackman and Fiddes dissenting. TELEPHONE LINE TO BE BUII.T TO SKI CAiIP R. J. Verne in reply to the council's letter advised them that the men at the ski camp on Hol- lyburn Ridge were at present en- gaged in enlarging the ski hill, but would start the telephone line work in time to have it fully completed before Christmas, at which time the visits of hikers tn the camp usually started to assume» inter proportions.

The efficient work of the School Trustees has placed this District in the forefront of educational matters.
