TWIN BIRTHDAYS
Merry and Mercy Cullum , identi-
cal twin daughters of Mr. and Mrs.
Eugene Cullum of Prime Avenue,
i celebrated their sixth birthday with
a party at their home. Little guests
present were Susan Locke, Bobby
Bennett, Ethel Aalto end Holly
Cullum,
The birthday cake was surround-
ed by autumn leaves. Merry and
Mercy have to wear different col-
ored dresses or hair ribbons to
school, so their teacher can iden-
tify them. Sometimes they even
fool their mother by mimicking
each other's traits. By the way, we
wonder It there Is another town on
the Cape which can boast of three
sets of twins all living on the same
street . On Prince Avenue there are
the Cullum twins, the Jones twins ,
and the Lagergren twins. We think
it quite unusual.
DEMONSTRATION
Mrs. Gertrude Griffin was hostess
to 20 guests at a Stanley party
Thursday. Mrs. Gloria Kopcak was
the demonstrator.
W. S. C. S. MEETING
The W. S. C. S. met at the home

ces Driscoll gave a short talk on
the problems of India. During the
business meeting it was voted to
give ?10 to the Church School . It
was also voted to accept the in-
vitation of the Sagamore W.S.C.S.
to attend a covered dish supper
and the meeting following at the
Swift Memorial Church on Monday,
November 7th. There were 19 mem-
bers present.
SERVICE MAN HOME
After having served six years in
the U. S. Navy, Amos Jones, young-
est son of Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur
Jones , has received his honorable
I discharge and is now at his home
1 here making the trip from San
' Diego, Cal., on his motorcycle.

A. C. NOTES
The third annual Hallowe'en par-
ty, sponsored by the Athletic Club,
was held in the Parish Hall Monday
night, There were nearly 100 chil-
dren and adults present. There was

Ernest Childs and Margerle Hamb-
lln. Diane Carlson received the

Aittaniemi as a sunshine baker.

judged most original; also the Cul-
lum twins as witches, with brooms.

SUCCESSFUL HALLOWE'EN
Expressions of pleasure are heard
on all sides in regard to the Hal-
lowe'en Party which was given to
the children and youth of our Vil-
lage on the evening of the 31st by
the Athletic Association. At least
So of these were present to enjoy
the fun and in many cases they
were accompanied by parents,
friends and younger members of
families. Costumes were general
and unusually interesting. Suitable
horns, rattles , and noise makers,
were given out and the parade
around the Library grounds was
begun. Round and about they went,
under the flood lights provided by
the always-cooperative Fire Depart-
ment and to martial music. The line
was inspected by Jackson Butler
and John Monroe and six prizes for
the most interesting and original
costumes were awarded in two sets,
to boys and girls.
Returning to the vestry, there
were games, bobbing for apples , ap-
ples on strings , etc., for a gay half
hour , then candy, doughnuts and
popcorn were served in abundance.
When these had been duly enjoyed,
there followed 45 minutes of inter-
esting movies. Following was ice
cream and then good nights were
said by the happy crowd.
It is felt that this effort was very
useful and helpfu l in our Village.
Very little damage was done and
the Association believes that if this
w-ay of observing Hallowe'en bo
comes a custom, our young people
will cease to consider the evening
as a time for wanton mischief and
perhaps serious damage. The Asso-
ciation wishes expressly to thank
the ladies of the Village, who co-
operated so splendidly to make the
party a success.
C.A.A.
The next regular meeting of the
Athletic Association will be held
j n the usual place on Wednesday,
November 9. The work of the Asso-
ciation is going well and new pro-
jects are developing. There is op-
portunity for others of our men
folk to be of signal use here and
the Association would like to have
their cooperation and support. Will
you not come to this meeting on'
the 9th , to become a member of a
very useful and Interesting organ-
ization?
BOARD OF EDUCATION
The Church Board of Education
and the Church School teachers
will come together for a joint meet-
ing tomorrow night , Friday, Novem-
ber 4, at 8 o'clock at the home of

SCHOOL NEWS
Two School Assemblies were
held this past month. The first , In
observance of Fire Prevention
Week, included two movies on
causes of fires and the work of the
firemen . These were presented by [
Mr. Hallett from the Fire Station.
For the second Assembly, the
school is grateful to Mrs. Charles
Fuller, who showed the children
many Interesting articles made or
used' by the Esqtilmos, explained
about the articles and patiently
answered innumerable questions.
We felt the two assemblies to be
very worth while.
On Monday, Oct. 31, each room
in the school had Its own Hallow-
e'en party. The rooms were deco-
rated by committees ot the chil-
dren. Parades of the children in
costume started the programs.
Some of the games enjoyed were
bobbing for apples, biting apples on
strings, a treasure hunt , pinning
tails on a cat or stems on a pump-
kin, and musical chairs. Abundant
refreshments were served by the
committees. The parties were voted
very successful and the students
were happy to have planned for
such fine activities, mostly under
their own direction. It is thus they
are growing socially and in self
contro l and self sufficiency. Teach-
ers and students join in thanking
parents and others who helped with
supplying refreshments.
The School Boys' Soccer Team
meets on Wednesday of this week
with a team from the West Barn-
stable School in the Soccer Tourna-
ment at 2:30. on the Centervllle
Field. Mr. Vernon Bearse, physical
education instructor, is in charge.
Mrs. Charles McMullen, teacher
in Grade 4 has been absent for sev-
eral days because of illness. Sub-
stitutes in her absence have been

hope Mrs. McMullen will be back

Association proposes to follow the

equally happy, similar occasion at
