üblic, through the columns of the
ally press of the conditions at
snding the celebration to eliminate
uisanees committed by masquerad
rs at this season of the year.

luse of the burlesque attire.
"The throwing of flour, corn or
>nfetti, removing of.steps and shut
>rs and the dangerous practice of
■ting "ticklers" will not be tolerat
1.
"A vicious practice which the po
ce have had to contend with, dur
ig the Hallowe'en season, is with
oys who follow girls and young
omen to dark places and then tying
lem with rope. Every member of
le police force will be instructed to
•rest all persons performing an act

ill be severely dealt with.
"At this time, let us not forget
int our country is in the thick of
ar and that the nation's chief exe
itive wisely calls for food conser

"It is suggested that nothing of
od value should be used in the
anks of Hallowe'en, keeping he
re us the fact that every ounce of
od is required by the nation to
ed our soldiers and our allies in
ar across the sea, and also to
eet the exigency of our own re
ii laments.
