43 Serving The District October 28, 1965 SO Ties Since Hallowe'en this year falls on the Lord's Day, October 31st, we respectfully request all parents to insist on having their children observe Hallowe'en on Saturday evening, October 31st instead. W.J.Adamo, Reeve - Township of Terrace Bay UNICEF AND HALLOWE'EN Hallowe'en is that magic, mystical night of th e year when even grey-beards become young in heart. Knocking at the door are ghostly or fantastic figures, costumed, wearing mother's high-heeled shoes, false faces, funny noses, and carrying the UNICEF Hallow we'en collection box. The traditional treats given the youngsters are taken with gay abandon. But to the fun has been added the joy of sharing Canadian good fotrune. UNICEF (United Nations Children's Fund) monies collected at Hallowe'en go to the International UNICEF budget. Funds are used to provide food, finance Welfare Clinics, equip hospitals and schools, fight the enemies of helpless children - hunger, disease and ignorance. Hallowe'en in Canada is not only a night for fun and frolic but also an occasion for sharing Canadian good fortune with those who have so little. The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) is the bearer of good tidings, the dispenser of friendship, the helping hand freely offered and gratefully re- ceived. CURLING TO START HERE NOVEMBER 12 The Annual Meeting of the Errace Bay Men's Curl - ing Club was held in the Club Lounge on October 25. It was agreed that Skips will pick their own rinks again this year and that the 'squad' system of curling will be used. It was also agreed that the membership fee will be $30 again this year and that all members must pay at least $10 before they play their first game and must give the membership Chairman post- dated cheques to cover the balance. This rule will be strictly enforced. Carl LeBlanc was elected Secretary of the Club. All local adults are invited to curl in the opening Mixed Turkey Bonspiel. Rules are as follows:- DATE: November 12, 13, 14. (Continued page 10) MEN'S CHORUS NEEDS MEMBERS The Terrace Bay Men's Chorus are a group of men who enjoy singing. They are not trained singers nor do many even read music. If you enjoy this type of recreation you will be more than welcome at our rehearsals Monday even- ings at 6.30 P.M. Tenor voices, as usual, will get the red carpet treatment as they are urgently needed for our survival . Those wishing information either in Schreiber or Terrace Bay may contact C.Buck at 3280. TIMES CHANGE © Tue tHinxine of church people, like everything else, has changed in the last fifty years. At the turn of the cen- tury good Methodists were opposed to dancing and card playing, and good Presbyterians locked up all the play- things on Saturday night, and they remained locked up until Monday. As time went on these patterns of behavior were con- veniently forgotten. In the farm homes of one community "the minister from towa" once organized weeknight prayer meetings. On the first meeting night there was a howling blizzard and the minister was storm-stayed. They waited for him until nine o'clock; then they changed the meeting into a euchre party. CYPRUS HOT-LINE -- Riflemen John Lemay of Ter- race Bay and Cpl . Bob Furiak of Trail, B.C., on duty at a United Nations outpost in Cyprus, report all activity in their area to company headquarters.
