Hallowe’en pranks I remember kids had a lot of fun making their (Continued from Page 1) members found they had been barricaded into the chambers. Mayor's Story Vaughan Mayor Garnet Williams‘ favorite story is about a trick that backfired. When he was a boy attending a one-room schoolhouse west of Woodbridge, there was a man and his son who hauled gravel with a horse and wagon. Each evening they would leave one loaded wagon in the schoolyard to be picked‘up in the morning. But one Hallowe’en the 12 biggest boys in the school returned to push, grunt and groan until they turned the wagon so its tongue was left sticking through the fence. When the owner returned in the morning, he appeared to have two options: take the fence down or try to have his horses drive the wagon straight through. Instead, he consulted with the teacher and she volunteered 12 strong boys to push the wagon backwards. Guess which 12 boys.

I am not opposed to mobile homes ‘per se’, as I believe they may be one answer to providing low cost housing for the segments of our population who other- wise would never be able to own a home of their own.
