PUPILS GIVE CORN TO TOBACCO FUND Movement For Sane Hallow e'en Celebration on West Shore Successful The move to have achoolqhlldren ot the West Shore refrain from throw ing corn and from damaging prop erty in celebrating Hallowe'en was entirely successful. Very little cele brating was done in the towns, but many parties were held, which kept the children off the streets. The Boy Scouts, althongh not many wore their uniforms, patrolled the towns and if they saw any persons throwing corn or destroying property asked them not to do it. Schoolchildren did their bit in con tributing to the "Smokes for Sol diers" fund by bringing the amount of corn to school that they would otherwise have thrown away in tha celebration of Hallowe'en. The corn will be sold and the money turned over to the fund that supplies the boys in France with tobacco. Sev eral bushels of grain have already been collected in three of the schools, with two more to report. Camp Hill has taken the lead in the amount, while West Fairview supplied large quantity. Worm leysburg children, not clearly under standing the move, did not contribute any. Lemoyne reported a good sup ply yesterday, but asked for an addi tional day to raise the amount. New Cumberland will also report to-day. The move was started on the sug gestion of a West Side resident, through the schoolchildren, about two weeks ago. In former years it was the custom of children to celebrate the Hallowe'en season by throwing much corn and many vegetables and destroying much property. ; FURS FURS ' , A f A Jap Kolinsky THE STORES INDIVIDUAL . 25 Fox Scarfs- ISaGVHi and oquirrel i i Muffs-new mod- 28,30,32 N. 3rd St^°™^ c ' l 3 Upe I Special Very Attractive Special J $22.50 For Friday and Saturday $22.75 j To Make Room For Constantly Arriving New Merchandise I j Plush Coats : 350 DRESSES 25 Skirts IjHjMr Two models full TAKEN FROM OUR OWN STOCK Worsted stripes and ufj jSfe | flare and full lined.
