Happy Halloween "The best in years.'" That was the assessment of police and parents over the way Hallo- ween was marked in Russell Village and area this year. It was a night _ free of major incidents and marred by only a few scattered acts of van- dalism. It was also a night more young trick-or-treaters participated than in recent years. Parents reported that the number of costumed children banging on doors was as much as double that of last year. "The parents of Russell are to be congratulated," an OPP spokesman said, '"'they are obviously bent on returning Halloween to a the younger children where it belongs. It should be a fun thing for the © community."' He credited parents with making a special effort to know their children's whereabouts Halloween night and stop them from gathering at the corner of Mill and Concession streets the traditional hot spot of destructiveness. As it was, only a score of youths--less than half the number of past years--huddled on the corner, guffawing abuse and tossing the occasional egg. : 'What it amounted to was that the same handful of people who are at the centre of the disturbance every year gathered as usual but found that they didn't have much of an audience for a change. As a result, they all went home by about 10:30 and the rest of the night was generally quiet," the police spokesman said.

Members of the Osgoode Township Historical Society and Reeve Albert Bouwers have in- dicated interest in preserving the historical Victoria Street home within the community. And Bruce Renton, owner of the village landmark for the past four years, would love to see it transformed into a community musuem. Mr. Renton, an Ottawa resi- dent, said he'would-donate several artifacts discovered in the yellow frame building should it be taken over by the historical society. These include aged newspaper pages located behind layers of wallpaper, old coins, and _ in- sulators from the days when the house served as a telegraph office.

"It's listed for sale by Gerald Morris, on behalf of Mr. Renton, for about $32,000. The price in- cludes one of the finest lots in the village as well as a good barn which could serve as a second display area should the house become a museum. Three members of the historical society toured the house recently including Elizabeth Stuart of Ver- non who recognized the potential and historical value despite its cur- rent dilapidated condition. However, Miss Stuart. caution- ed that acquiring and maintaining the site might be beyond the socie- ty's capabilities. VeVEVVV WE E. A.
