JOSEPH and DRYSDALE (ALFRED DUCHARME, Correspondent) All of that to satisfy and get revenge against those children who are not of age to defend themselves. Those old crabs forget that they too were once young and that they too perhaps offended their elders, perhaps in a more cruel way. We do notive encouragement to play their Hallowe'en pranks to destroy property for that would be violating justice but as I see it there is no harm go- ing about from house to house with their little paper sack in their hand. Commenting on the sudden death of Marty Charles Joseph Denomme, son of Mr. and Mrs. Tony Denomme of this parish was a most heartbreaking one. It was a shock not only to the grieving parents but to all the parish and its surroundings. God has his holy ways, and we must submit to them and rejoice. To the parents let them not weep of the passing of their young son for today he is a saintin leaven. He will at all times give a wat- chful eye over his parents and other members of the family. We offer our deepest sympathy to the family. Visitors at the Senior Sophas this week were Mr. Elgin Sopha from Elgin I11. , from Detroit, Mr. and Mrs.. Lawrence Sopha, and from Windsor Mr, Philip Sopha and friend, Mr. Alfred Hauge. Also at the Sopha home were Mr. and Mrs. Harold Diet- rich from Zurich, and from Mount Carmel, Mr. and Mrs. John Mahoney, Mr. and Mrs. Dolph Sopha were Sunday last visitors at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Turn- bull of the Dashwood district. We are also glad to report that the senior Sophas have much improved from their ailment. Mrs. Celima Bedard who has spent several weeks visiting with her children in different parts has returned to her home on this highway. Mrs. Adeline Denomme who spent a few weeks in London has returned to her home on Saturday Mrs. Joseph Corriveau who was confined to South Huron Hospital for a fractured arm has returned to her home on this highway. Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Denomme of London were weekend visitors with the former's parents Mr. and Mrs. Garfield Denomme. Mr. and Mrs. Ty Stansberry of Grosse Point, Mich., were one day visitors with Mr. and Mrs. Fred Ducharme. Even though Hallowe'en is over there still remains some bitterness due to the outing of children representing themselves as spooks or spirits roaming the country side dressingthemselves in a costume to foothe public, especially those they come in contact with. They arrive at homes in small groups with a paper bag or container to receive their gifts. By many, those little children are regarded as ruffians going from one door to another. This custom dates back many years and it is an outing for those small children to pass an evening together some place re- lating their success or failures. It is regretable that there are old cranks who oppose their little pranks by those doped bon- bon candies or apples with razor blades , pins or needles or what- ever they thought would be in- jurious to them. To those few we say "shame" for such actions.
