This is the first goose to be shot in this vicinity for a long period and Mr. Sullivan said he also shot another one the same day, but it was a smal] specimen and could not be readily identified.

Cawley who was ap- pointed to take the measurements. It was not weighed, but would probably run to seven or eight pounds.

Hallowe'en games a3 Street Sign Broken Off; HALLOWE'EN WAS QUIET Damage Seems Deliberate AND NO DAMAGE DONE, POLICE CHIEF STATES One of the town's new street signs at the corner of Probyn street and the Lake Shore road was broken off last week-end and, in the opinion of police chief K. R. Watson, the damage was done deliberately. The post carrying the two signs was pulled from its moorings, the chief said, and one of the metal signs was broken off near where it was attached. There appeared to be no chance that the damage was done by an erring motorist, as the post was inside the walk and there was no sign of a car being driven against All local residents apeared to be on their good behavior on Hallowe'en, and there was no damage and little or nothing for the regular police force, augment- ed by a few extra men, to do throughout the night, according to chief K. R. Watson. The de- partment received only one call during the night and that had no- thing to do with the celebration of the festival, he said Tuesday.
