PROPERTY TO BE GUARDED FROM HARM BY POLICE EVEN THOUGH IT IS HALLOWE'EN VANDALISM WILL NOT RE TOLERATED. "No vandalism will be tolerated to night even though It is done in a spirit of Hallowe'en fun."

He states that good nat ured pranks which do not entail any damage to property will not be pro hibited, it not being his desire to re strain the boys and girls from a prop er observance of the spirit of the time. Just the same It will be well for the citizens to put a padlock on hi gate and place under lock and key any portable property lying around his place, else he may awake in the morning to find them missing. To night is Hallowe'en and. according to the old superstition, ghosts, hobgob lins, spirits and gnomes are supposed to be abroad to work their mischief. However, in these modern days the mischief Is mostly done by real flesh-and-blood beings. Many parties have been planned for ti-nleht and the hallowe'en spirit will be very n'anlfest.
