able inconvenience and damage, and.
some. ?!nears' were advanced as to -.the

erable . discussion , on this point, • but
nothing definite came out of it. It

of the rink being used: for any other
purpose, .the 'curlers would lend -their

LionsHaliowe ert
When the Autumn leaves are falling
And the summer days are past, '
When you have a dread of -winter,
And how long it's going to last;
Don't forget the halfway station ,.
That you reach just in between.
With the ending of October—
Why: It's happy Hallowe'en.,
When the candles all are lighted
And the shades of evening fall,
When there's tapping on the windows
And some creaking in the hall;
When a tall and silent figure,
Which the children all have seen,
Steals 'softly through the shadows—
Then it's "Spooky" Hallowe'en.
There's a creepy sort of feeling
That you caneot quite explain,
It is not a new sensation,
And you're feeling it again.
Here's a cure- for all the.."Goblins"
That'a have been using you so mean—
Buy a ticket for the "Frolic,"
Come, it's - Sed.forth's Hallowe'en.
See the black cat and the witches, .
See the pumpkins lit up too;
Don't you know this celebration
Was arranged for kids like you?
When you ,'see the . Band assemble
Just outsidt the Hotel Queen,
Put It down' "There's somethin' doin,"
It's the. "Lions Hellowe:en."

Important changes in the regular
tions• governing the shipping of gift
and food parcels to the United King-
dom are announced this week by
Postmaster C. P. Sills.
The British authorities have advis-
ed, he states, that the weight limit
for gift and food parcels addressed to
the United Kingdom has been extend-
ed from 11 pounds up to the normul
maximum weight of .20 pounds. The
parcels, which must be clearly mark-
ed as "Gifts," must be unsolicited
bona fide gifts and must not be im-
ported into the United Kingdom as
merchandise or for sale. The effect
is that there is now no limit on the
qmantity of food in general or of an
y
one foodstuff whin;;' may be included
in the 20 pounds,5 and there is no Kon -
ger a condition that parcels are m
ite.d to one a month.
• These concessions do not appIy to
parcels containing arms and ammuni-
tion, plumage, dangerousdrugs or
other articres, Postmaster Stills points
out, the import of which•is .subject to ,
epecial prohibition and restriction, and
do not relieve goods front lialaiiity to
any appropriate etistbuis duty andJOst
purchase tax on arrival in the United
Kingdon!., '•
Parcels which do not coaipiy• with'
the above 'conditions will be liable to
seizure by the United Kingdom ens -
toms, unless covered by an import
license.
