Another month almost gone
and the new one promisinga lot
of activity.
The Romans had a ten month
calendar and octem, was their
wolf for-the-eightlr, month ,and,
our word October was taken
from this - for some reason.
The. opal is the birthstone -
and I don't know where I have

those Les Chapman of St. David
Street has for his business. Les
is a "Rock Hound" from a way
back - only with a 'difference.
Les can tell you all about,that
precious piece of rock - and
knowing something about it
makes it all the more precious
and exciting.•
I'm getting off the track - but
,I had never seen such a fan-
tastic variety of rocks and stones
as Les Chapman is dealing in.
Listening to him talk about each'
piece, made me. think it is too
bad he was not talking to
groups of students who could
make better use of the
knowledge than I ever will.
So when you want the best in
precious stones talk to Les.
Well, • back ' to our fading
month of October. The flower
for the month is the "calen-
dula" and a • hardier, sunnier
flower is' hard to find. • And so
the children born in this month
are cheerful and inclined to see
the bright side of 'things.

American Thanksgiving the
fourth ThuxadaY.10. Noveiuber * .,
a big family day in the U.S.
Today, if it isn't raining, we see
the bounty of our land - the
richness of its yeild, The wheat -
fields glowing golden red in the
sun. The orchards jewels now
gathered. - We hope - but we see
trees loaded with beautiful ap-
ples around the country and
wonder why, after freeze-up,
that they were left ori the trees.
A shortage of pickers again?
But would the orchard 'owners
allow you to pick and pay for
your bushel? 'Many of them
would not. You might do more
damage to the trees than your
few dollars are worth.
And so it goes, A land of
waste and plenty. I don't know
"what it is coming to" Great
Grammar! Oh well, you know
what I mean and you are just
as upset as I about it.

everyone out for rehearsal and
really enjoying ' it. They've now
set the dates for this play: Nov.

For several reasons they have
had to split up the dates, so do
take notice: it starts Wednesday,
then . Thursday, skips Friday
and final night is Saturday.

How did you like the Lions
Club Parade - I thought it was
just G-R-REAT! Got ideas?

The idea of trick or treat star-
ted a long long tid e'•ago when
people had to DO- something for
their treat.
The old custom of the poor
going to their rich neighbours
for a "soul cake" on "All Souls
Eve" • has led up to today's
greedy, grabbing of goodies
which are mostly wasted by the
kids today. -
I like the idea of their collec-
ting pennies for UNICEF, this
could be great for helping
' children who are not . as for--
tunate as they are.
Not all children are greedy -
as I know the youngsters in our
area collect a nice lot of goodies
-but stay in their own district.
The kids that travel miles and
collect such a lot of stuff to my
mind are' just plain thoughtless,
as I have seen them throwing
the stuff they collected at each
other and all over the street,
and this really burns me up.
My idea of Halloween
treating is to do their collecting
early and then have a party - a
skating party or such - which
will keep them off the streets af-
tsr dark.

toss your shining head and show
