This means no window soaping, destruction of property, writing on build­ings and the many prank3 so prevalent in this town. We therefore earnestly solicit your co-operation ub parents and youngsters. The Lions Club is putting in a lot of time, 'effort and money to givo you a good show, ; iflfi.ll you co-operate by helping us to a :good sane Hallowe'en??

Fish & Game Assoc, as his English cocker spaniel "Gladholne Rusty”, rouped hone with the. Chevrier & Cotlart Trophy, indicative of the championship in all-age stakes. Rusty and his owner turned in brilliant per­formances to outscore such seasoned veterans as Doral Pilling & Vic Grainger of Calgary, Monday’s events were all in spaniel section of the meet and live birds were worked under natural conditions. While no water tests were given, spaniels were scored on flushing, pointing and retrieving on command. Turner’s entry drew admiration of all for his nearness to perfection in all three phases. Rusty was outstanding & handled beautifully, searched In excellent style, but was unlucky in not finding more birds due to the inter­ference of his brace mate. He was steady on two shots, fired when no birds dropped. In order to prove his steadiness to shot and finding ability, he was sent in on a blind retrieve which two other dogs had previously' missed, and within a minute had the bird back in his handler’s hands,” From the Calgary Herald.
