HENSALL - The Week of the
Child continues this week in Hen-
sall as the kids collect point while
participating in village activities.
Saturday's parade was cold and
soggy, but the 17 kids who walked
around the streets showing off their
costumes didn't seem to mind: All
the participants received prizes, but
awards for the most original cos-
tumes went to Scou Ferguson's
pumpkin outfit and Craig Hoover
as an English policeman.

the presence of children and youths on the streets of the summer resort
after hours. Those 14 and under had to be off the streets by 9 p.m. and
