All Hallow's Eve And Unsaintly Celebrations Hallowe'en approaches' but among the beings with whom it is certain to be entirely unconnected will be the seines for whom it was originally instituted. Instead, the Probabilities are that silly, and alas often destructive activities may 118 ,* disflgure what ought to be a jolly, Joky celebration in line with gtuck- ishness, prankishness of the origin- al idea. One form of destruction will be the general abuse of the very name by people who ought to know better. It will be called Hallowe'en Night! Wbierh is' just the same se saying Hollow evening night, But added to this cruelty to sense and English, may be gang celebrations which will result in of prosit!vedamage to property.

F. Maine of London, One, be- lieves people who are members of churches ought to attend, and when. he med.e. that statement he was. re- ferring to the United Church that is' where he belongs. The London man reduced it to a question of statistics' and estimates. There are between 600,009 and 650e 000 mehmbere of the United Church of Canada today, but there is only, an average Sunday attendance of 250,000. When one considers that the same people in many cases ate ten'ci twice it would further decrease the actual number of individuals' turning out to the church service.' The figure as given by Mr. Maine is! below 50 per cent.; in fact it is deeidediy below. The problem on which he is wanting is not a mon- oeele of the United Church because there are preachers in a lamentablf large number of large churdhes who face too many empty pews. The Londoner says it is necessary to Increase church attendance by 250,- 000 anti adaiuittedly that is a large order. 11 will be found that chustch attendance and church financing are closely ranted one to the other, For the most part those who absent themselves, from Sunday services clid not give. There may be any number of reasons for the lees -them 50 per cent. attendance ,bet prim- arily it Is dine to like-waavnnese or Positive, indifference, If the church and all for which it stands had grippe&l tot membership and they found that what they were drawing from it wee greatter than that which they were lontributing then they would attend and there would be no needto urge t0 do so. That may be a hard -sounding explana- tion bu.t we know of non eotlter ante - Create to cover the case,.

Ings! and advice of the Minister of Higth;watyte and these announce- ments have also singled out and 11- lustreted pre -dices of the road which were considered dangerous and which would have to be discon- tinued, • The DeparUment of Highways with its Ylgonous camdtaign anust have had something to do with that drop 0f 88 per cent, in 1988 traffic fa•tall,ties, It is too much to believe that such a desdruble decrease would come 'to ,pass of its own will. NOTE AND COMMENT of the war lords of Europe would quit making speeches there might be a time of comfort in the world. American students suggest there should be a Secretary of Peace, And after all, why not? ,France is s'pend'ing 52 million dol - lays more on defence. There Is evi- dently to be no ,peace so far as the taxpayers are concerned. It must have been an error of course, but we noticed where one paper reporting a robbery said "the Police :farce is. investigating," A French hunter took two shots at a rabbit but missed. However, Ise made up for that because the shots' struek four other hunters, The New York Yankees carried eight pitchers and the line-up, and we recall the time when it took only nine people .to make up an entire team. It has been .declared that a. tobac- co combine exists, in Canada, but the companies decided they would have to go ahead and plug along as usual, A Netroit judge has ruled that wrestling patrons should know how to duck when wrestlers or referees are being tossed around. But the act is not always. played the same way. The suggestiin that the Bing and Queen should stay at a hotel when they visit Toronto next summer le- dioates that the government was a little hasty in getting rid of Morley Park. Putting two and two together one would take it that Col. Charles Lindbergh would be none too Wel- cease if he deckled to drop !u. and see the folk in Russia again.

Take the camera wherever things are going one ' ' 1IBITIONS and county fairs supply a wealth of picture ma- terial for the busy camera. So do street fairs and carnivals. Tarte your camera along when you visit these lively affairs, and you'll have no difficulty keeping it active all day long. On such occasions, there is al- ways plenty going on, and wherever things are happening dna can find subjects for pictures. Especially do these events offer opportunities for the "oft -guard" type 01 story -telling snapshots. The vendor of toy bal- loons making a sale, the fat man munching a hamburger at a midway booth, the "barker" in front of a sideshow, the child gazing longingly. at the merry-go-round—these are but samples of the dozens of picture chances you may find In an after- noon's visit. And there are many other types of snapshots to take. One always finds contests and exhibits, ranging from home -canned peaches to prize watermelons, chocolate layereakes and the "best bushels" of corn.!Snap- shots of the judging, as well as the exhibits, make good pictures tor your collection. Too, there are horse and livestock shows that offer many picturo-taking possibilities. Keep your eyes open, try to COD - etre the spirit et the fair ie all it's aspects, and you will come home with a pocket full of good snapshots. These oecastons just give point to an old rule --if you want really good pictures, and plenty of there, take the camera Where there's something going mil 202 Sohn. qac Cittilder.
