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

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. We

THOSE EMPTY
SEATS
J. 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

number of reasons for the lees -them

and all for which it stands had

found that what they were drawing
from it wee greatter than that
which they were lontributing then

sty t ncle Eben used to say,
he'd really sort of dread the day,

the children might remain, so every-
thing would be the same, he'd have
them all at home,
If But then the dhildren drifted
out, they'd. bad to make their way
about, and make their way ahead;
and Uncle Shen used to say, that
home was neither bright nor gay,
the place seemed sort of dead,
If The oldest boy got fired I
think, ale little home began to
sink, 'twas weighted like a 'stone;
so with hie wife and children two,
he knew nothing else to de, and so
he came back home.
if The second lad Who kept a
store, found he could run the thing
no more, his creditors moved in; lie
found that he was broke and bent,
and really didn't have a cent, for
he'd list all his ten,
He had a wife and children
three, and no resources be could
see, he could not start ,nem•; ,so
hecame hound two weeks ago, and
made his father's, flamdlg grow, was

wives share up the space within—
of children there are five.

=SNAPSHOT CUIL
PICTURES AT THE FAiR
Stook showings provide snapshot chances at the fair—and so do many
other events. 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
