Hallowe'en Frolic Continuing the custom of many years' standing, the staff and stud- ents of the Collegiate carried out a Hallowe'en frolic which took the form of . a musical and literary session fol- lowed by a dance Friday nights For the occasion the auditorium was de- corated inkeeping with the event. Black cats, witches, jack-o'-lanterns, goblins and what not were wall and stage adornments while streamers of black and yellow formed attractive window decorations. The lights, too, were shaded, helping to carry out the general ,spookiness and color "effect. The committee in charge of the 4- corating did a real job and to them much credit is due. Gordon Monteith, president of the Literary Society, pre- sided at the entertainment, the first number of which was the chairman's address of welcome to the assembly. Ass initiation of first form students was laughable. It consisted of a num- ber of stunts, none' of which were difficult, but all funny. A costume parade was an attractive feature. Then followed contributions from the different fornns. First form boys were represented by Wilfred Denoreme in song. First form girls contributed a skit, "Safety First." Miss Mary Bozell upheld the honor of second form in solo singing, A skit entitled "A. Perfect Operation" was cleverly done by third . form students. Phil Sperling was good in his saxophone representative e comtrrbution asf the fourth fmm n i violin selections with piano accompaniment by Miss Shaw. The closing number was God. Save the King. The floor was then .eleared and an hour was very happily spent in Blaming. 'Afterward refreshments were served ;in the home economies department.

Rifle Team May Again Capture Trophy Eligible for Dominion Championship Although they have not received official ward from the Dominion Marksmen's Association, the Clinton Rifle Team feel confident that the targets submitted in the provincial contest will giyh them the opportun- ity of meeting the other provincial winners for the dominion. champion- ship It will be recalled that last year the boys turned in the highest score for Ontario as the engraved plate on the trophy will show, Unless alone other team has turned, in a better record, which is hardly likely, another plate bearing Clinton's name will be added this year. On Friday afteroon shooting took place in the Epps Rifle range. Each member was given three targets, ten shotstoa target and their record equals that of last year. The records were: Elwood Epps, score 300 with 29 inners; Ferg. VanEgmond, 300 With 26 inners; William Parrish, 300 with 22 inners; E Doueett, 300 with 24 inners H, Kingswell, 299 with 18 inners; Reg.: Smith, 300 with 26 in- ners; James. Ferrieh; 300 with 21 in- ners. In explanation 'inners' means shots placed within the small circle or bulls -eye. The ruling is that each club .may have. seven :members to st team and if they so desire, may drop the two low men. Shooting is done in a prone position and as each tar. get is numbered there is no chance of a second trial. . The boys feel .confident .that they have equalled last year's record al- though they have not beet officially notified to that effect. As soon ea all the results for theprovinces have been Compiled a date will be set far the dominion ehampionship. This will be a real test and shooting will be done under strict supervision of ex - pmts: Huron 'Deanery liangneit.

Counsellod•, Hamilton, who was guest. speaker at the Huron Lay n en's Ban- quet at Bayfield Monday evening. called at this office on Tuesday mosnu g, Mr. Kelly, at one time lived. in Clnton and went toe ached here-. It was here he got interested in MI- crease a+crease and on Mariam occasions, as- sisted teams in the surrounding 'dist- rict. Mr: Kelly has always been in- terested iii this sport and has filled various important positions 'on the executive of the Ontario Lacrosse Association. During the course cit ;bra visit Mr. Kelly recounted some of his .exper- iences in his capacity' as guest speak- er at various functions which will: bear repeating. In one town he was to give an- address on "Buying at Home."' Before attending the meeting the decided. to see what the merchants were doing- to encourage business. Calling at as garage he asked that the spare tire - be removed from his car and held une, til called for. He then proceeded to• visit five other garages, taking care - to drop a hint while making a pur- chase that he intended to take an ex- tended trip. Not one of the garage men suggested that he would need a spare tire- • In the office of the Mare w'ho complained loudest about people - buying out of town was a suit box• just received bearing the label or as Toronto firm, Then Mr. Kelly decided to test our, the clothiers, Purposely he smudged his white collar before entering to- buy a necktie. In making his selec- tion he ,held the tie up to his collar and asked the salesman's opinion, ex- pecting to receive a suggestion than• he should also purchase a collar. He ' had to visit three stores before the suggestion came, and that in a rath- er hesitating manner. A11 this would suggest that those' who cry loudest are doing little to help themselves, but conditions aro different in smaller towns. Usually the customer and merchant have known• each other lslncechildhood. and the merchant knowsthe likes and dislikes of the purchaser. If the customer asks for shoes he Is non urged to buy socks, spat, garters, etc: He gets' what dee asks for and at a. fair price. The merchant at homes studies his customers needs -antra makes his purchases accordingly and can usually sell at a Iower cost than. the city merchant. True, the city- stores itystores have more variety, but the customer pays for the investment. There is a lesson in the stories, told by our visitor. The merchant who seeks business is bound to find- it. He must do his part and so must. Bu roan Public. Buy at Home, Buy - British and Buy Canadian is a good slogan.

Hallowe'en Frolic Continuing the custom of many years' standing, the staff and stud- ents of the Collegiate carried out a Hallowe'en frolic which took the form of . a musical and literary session fol- lowed by a dance Friday nights For the occasion the auditorium was de- corated inkeeping with the event.

The lights, too, were shaded, helping to carry out the general ,spookiness and color "effect. The committee in charge of the 4- corating did a real job and to them much credit is due. Gordon Monteith, president of the Literary Society, pre- sided at the entertainment, the first number of which was the chairman's address of welcome to the assembly. Ass initiation of first form students was laughable. It consisted of a num- ber of stunts, none' of which were difficult, but all funny. A costume parade was an attractive feature. Then followed contributions from the different fornns. First form boys were represented by Wilfred Denoreme in song. First form girls contributed a skit, "Safety First." Miss Mary Bozell upheld the honor of second form in solo singing, A skit entitled "A. Perfect Operation" was cleverly done by third . form students.
