Saturday of this Week Observed as Hallowe‘ Origin of Some of the Customs Associated with Hallowe‘en. Some are Old and Some are New. Hallowcen Pranks Comparatively Modern. Damage to Property Frowned on These Days. Hallowe‘en â€" that night on which witches slide down moonbeams 1Or a brief stay on earth, falls on Saturday night this week. So Timmins‘ storeâ€" keepers had better be on the lookout for strange little figures that come in to demand, on pain of terrible things to come:â€""Shell ut!" Hallowe‘en is just another of those things the ancient Celts bequeathed to those who occupiled their countries and brought them Christianity. A pagan celebration, it heralded the coming of winter, and was a mysterious feast in which the ancinents most probably gave themselves up to wondering what would happen when winter came to their lives. Bonfires and fortune telling are the survivals of the Celtic celebration in England; masking and talk of witches seem to have become more firmly fixed on this side of the Atlantic.

Bill Resseguier,. pilot for Prospectors Airways, was unwilling to fly the animal in unless it was first put to sleep. _ The veterinary surgeon being absent, and the doctor of huâ€" mans unwilling, the equine failed to be put into a state of passive resxstanoe and therefore started on its way to the mining property by the overland route. The new hotel being established in Chaputâ€"Hughes will probably operaté without a beer license. At a meeting of the township council at Kirkland Lake a petition was presented r°gistcr- ing opposition to the granting. of A lieense.

"You can sign or not as you like,." the magistrate advised them. "If you don‘t you‘ll go to sail." They signed. The child cannot be made a ward of the Children‘s Aid Society until action is brought with that idea, it was learnâ€" ed duting the hearing. If there is any more trouble in the home, this action will be taken. Children Not Attending school Eight Timmins parenis appeared in court charged with not sending their children to school., The daughters wore in each case between 14 and 16 years of ago, the charges said. In one case, the girl was to be 16 on December 8th. "I can‘t do everyâ€" thing at home myself," explained the mother.: "I have 11 children." This was adjourned until called on. Another, this time a father, asked if his daughter was out of school, said: "Sure, why not? She‘s 16 on April the 2nd." "Have you a birth certificate?" "Bure." And he produced a sheet of letter paper. "That‘s right, as far as I can make out," said Mr. Caldbick after examinâ€" ing the Italian document. The court decided the school records were wrong in this case. "I need my daughter at home." said a mother. "I have nine children." _ _ Can Get "Working Certificate" ‘The magistrate explained that in genuine cases where a child was nseded in the home a "working certificate‘" could be obtained from the attendance officer. But that unless this certificate is obtained, the parents are liable to punishment. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29TH, i8936 Another case was adjourned a week on condition that the child be sent to high school regularly. One father produced a doctor‘s cerâ€" tificate stating that his wife had been 11 for two years and relies on her daughter to do the work in the house. "They can only get a certain amount of time off under the act," the magisâ€" trate said. "Sure it‘s right," said another father when the charge was read to him; "but she‘s 17 years of age, she doesn‘t want to go to school and T can‘t make her." One of his daughters is in a convent now, said the father, promising to send for her and have the one here go to the convent in her stead. The magistrate gave him a chance to getâ€"a birth certificate, "but," he warned, ‘"if you‘re fooling me, I‘ll fine you." In the last case, it was found that the husband was in the hospital and that the wife received compensation of $4.00 a day. She has 10 children to at home. The daughter, who has been out of school and is 15 years old, has been supporting herself by "working out." "Anyone who employs a child like this is liabl eunless they have a cerâ€" tificate," said the magistrate in adâ€" jJourning the case. Liquor Charges Adjourned Victor Fauvelle, charged with illegal possession of beer, was remanded a week at his own request. Nick Pouff asked a week to get a couple of witnesses. He is charged with illegally. having liquor. Albert Moses, who faces a charge of arson, will be tried next week. The crown asked an adjournment, owing to the absence of Dr. Evans. A remand was also granted Nick Blahey, who is charged with violating the town‘s byâ€"law governing woodâ€" yards. A medical certificate showed that Blahey was unable to appear in court. Two violators of parking byâ€"laws paid fines of $1.00 each. Having no lights eost another driver the same sum, while having daefective brakes cost another $10.00. A reckless driving charge was adâ€" journed one week. A woman who claimed $60 wages from a@ local man was told that she would have to sue in division court, sintce the bill was more than 30 days old. Four drunks pleaded guilty and were assessed $10 and costs each. One adâ€" mitted that "I made a fool of myself, your â€" lordship, but it won‘t happen again if I get a chance." He didn‘t get the chance. . Three years in the penitentiary was the sentence given Austin Fitzgerald, The 37Tâ€"yearâ€"old man pleaded guilty to three charges of gross indecency with "other male persons." In all of the cases, the others were boys, 11, 12 and 13 years of age. "A man like this certainly is a pubâ€" lisc menace," said S. A. Caldbick, crown attorney,. "Many think that the peniâ€" tentiary is not the proper place, but under our laws it is the only place he gan be sent. He certainly should be taken out of this country." " you think he should have the lash?" asked the magistrate. â€"**I‘m not in favour of the lash, ‘ reâ€" plied Mr. Caldbick. + "Was any violence?" "No,." "It‘s the first time since last March until this fall,‘ pleaded Fitzgerald. "This is a very serious thingâ€"corâ€" rupting young boys," said the magisâ€" trate. "It‘s got to be treated seriously. This sort of thing has got to be stampâ€" ed out." The sentence of three years was made on each charge, the terms to run concurrently.
