Reducing Worries by One Quarteri Richmond Hill, Toronto’s Highest and Healthiest Suburb, crashed the front pages of the big city press and the air waves this week with a “Hallowe’en incident" which at least temporarily crowded the stork derby, the war scare and the United States presid’errtial elec‘tions inlto the ob- scure background. Nothing short of eight column streamer lines and front page stories in all editions of Monday papers told the great wide world of the observance of Hallo- we’en here. Radio news [broadcasts from all Toronto stations featured the incident and on Monday this town looked like the centre of a news- paper convention, one Toronto paper having no less than six staff men here at one time. So far no one has suggested that the incident may have international complications but whe- ther or not the affair had any con- nection' with the rebellion in Spain is about the only angle which the big city news sleuths have overlookâ€" ed thus far. All this sudden plunge into the cold glare of public view on the ‘part of Richmond Hill was the result of the action of the vill» age constable locking up six of the young hopefuls of the village in the town lock-up in an effort to curb a too boisterous observance of Hallo- we’en. With all the best intentions in the world the Richmond Hill Town fath- ers arranged a great free party in the arena Saturday evening, in the hope that the young folk after being entertained would go quietly home and refrain from playing destructive pranks. There was a big parade with prizes for the best costumes, a big movie program and a treat for all the kiddies at the rink. The first indication that all was not well came during the showing of the pictures which were supposed to be “talkies” but turned out to be “smellies” as well. Just as some playful skunks appeared on the screen someone with a rather distorted sense of humor apparently wanted to make it more realistic and exploded one or more “bombs” which caused such an odor in the arena that some actually be- came ill. Town fathers then got their first realization that maybe their big party wasn’t being appre- ciated in the right way. Then after the show there was evidence some preferred to still indulge in the pranks which have made Hallowe’en famous. During the evening the constable was constantly running on to mischief makers and a survey of the town shows that considerable damage was done. Village authoriâ€" ties have every sympathy with the young folk in any harmless Hallo- we’en pranks as they realize that “boys will be boys” but they do not wish to countenance in any form damage to property. Unfortunately Saturday night there was some need- less property damage. During the evening Constable Casement locked up six young boys in an effort to check the ha110we’en celebration, and then followed their release by an indignant crowd and all the publicity in“ the fI‘or‘ont‘o press. Constable Casement explains that it was his intention to only scare the boys by locking them in for a time with the hope that their detention would lead the other youthâ€" ful celebrants to go home. At Monday night’s council meet- ing parents of some of the boys con- cerned drew the incident officially to attention of council and denounced very strongly the action of the conâ€" stable in locking up children of such tender years. They pointed out that the action of the officer was a very serious breach of regulations con- cerning youthful offenders and asked the council for an explanation. Counâ€" cillor H. J. Mills acting as Reeve in the absence of Reeve Greene deferr- ed any discussion of the incident by council until the return of Mr. Greene. RICHMOND HILL CRASHES INTO BIG NEWS \VITH HALLOWE’EN INCIDENT The really outstanding feature of the whole affair is the startling a,- mount of publicihy which the Toâ€" ronto papers gave to it. The noneâ€" too-attractive architecture of Rich- mond Hill lock-up was blazoned forth to the whole wide world with inter- ior and exterior views. This old town lock-up seems to be irrepress- ible as far as the news columns are concerned. Some months ago the town fathers had it moved from an imposing location on Church Street to an obscure corner of the park in the hope that it might escape the public gaze but apparently their ef- forts are for nought as this old lock- up is sure to bob up in the news photos every so often. We would isuggest that if the council members lwant to keep the old “coop” out of hotos every so often. We would Hattieâ€"I don’t like selflmade men uggest that if the council members very much, dear. rant to keep the old “coop” out of Gertieâ€"No, darling;~ I’d rather the news they will have to bury it.ha.ve one made to order. LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO There were also photos of some of the boys arrested with interviews .by all and sundry concerned, and if there’s anybody in Ontario doesn’t know we celebrate Hallowe’en in Richmond Hill it must be someone who doesn’t take a neWspaper. said “If press reports are accurate, then Richmond Hill authorities will be called to account for their action in throwing these youngsters into jail with a half-dozen hoboes,” Mr. Croll Hon. David A. Croll, Ontario’s Minister of Welfare on reading of the incident immediately instructed his deputy minister to make an in- vestigation and report. After readâ€" ing the accounts in the Toronto press Mr. Croll said: “That sort of thing smacks of the Dark Ages and not of present-day enlightened methods. Tli'ése children, only 9 to 14 years old, may well bear the stamp of their terrifying experi- ence for the rest of their days. “I’m not concerned with what they did. Whatever it was, there are Chil- dren’s Aid Societies to deal with such mattersâ€"deal humanely and wisely. Children aren’t put in the jailâ€"they go to the shelter, if n-e- cessaryn” Mr. Sorseleil, the deputyâ€"minister, visited Richmond Hill on Monday and after an interview with members of council and others concerned made his report to the Minister. Members of council are maintain- ing a discreet silence on the whole matter and while they have taken no definite action undoubtedly deep- ly regret the incident and its atten- dant widespread publicity. Along with a great many of the citizens they are inclined to look upon it as one of those unfortunate incidents which sometimes just happen. Interviews with local citizens show a variety of opinion of the subject. First Mr. Citizen said “No doubt the constable was conscientiously trying to do what was right, but just over- stepped his authority, not thinking of the seriousness of what he was doing.” Second Mr. Citizen thought it was high time the young folk had a good scare given them. “The mod- ern kids are getting too fresh altoâ€" gether,” he said. A third citizen suggested that the best way for town officials to maintain peace and quiet on hallowe’en would be to lock up the police force. Over half the fun of hallowe’en pranksters is having the police chase them, he remarked. Leave the kids alone and you would- n’t have much trouble, he thought. The Toronto papers are hard press- ed for news said another who deâ€" clared that the many columns about the incident was a lot of “blah.” It was most unfortunate said a mother that the! constable. should take unto himself all the powers of police, judge and jury. If he’s to perform all those duties the town fathers should raise his pay. And so we could go on and on, with expressions of opinions heard on every side as varied as the wea- ther. The fact remains that Rich- mond Hill crashed the publicity pages with a real Hallowe’en inci- dent that made all sit up and gasp. According to the metropolitan head- lines the village is all “agog” and “jittery” but despite all‘ this the “business as usual" sign is out on the main street and life goes on as usual. In fact they seem more ex- cited aloout the affair the farther you get afield from Richmond Hill. One of the hardest things to live down will be the wise-cracks of your friends in Toronto and elsewhere who when you appear on the scene will no doubt remind you that you are from that town where the stern arm of the law reaches right down to the kindergarten. We don't like to be outdone even in sensationalism by the Metropoliâ€" tan papers so we hasten to defend our prestige in the news field by reporting that it is authoritatively rumored the municipal council are not booking any movies for next Hallowe’en and that those in the in- ner circle of local municipal govâ€" ernment are considering passing a byâ€"law changing the date of Hallo- we’en to February 29th. In that way they hope to at least cut their wor- ries in quarter. So this is the home paper contribution to the big news of the week except to suggest that a fitting sequel would be for the local authorities to lay a charge a- gainst the boys of escaping- custody. That should be good for another flood of free publicityâ€"if that’s what we’re looking for. BICYCLE, cheap. Apply to Mervin Coates, R.R. No. 1, Maple. 14 PEKIN DUCKS.
