No Hallowe'ening Allowed Because of Flu Epidemic: Because of the "flu" epidemic, there is to be no Hallowe'ening, in Latrobe, this year. The Board of Health has strongly urged against any demonstration, and the Burgess, today, issued orders that there be no observance of the Hallowe'en season. Howard Heinz, of the Federal Food Administration for Pennsylvania, his issued an appeal to the people. against the waste of foodstuffs, during the season. "Corn, beans, peas, apples, pump kins, etc., should not be used." Mr. Heinz declares. Every year. thou sands of pumpkins' are cut up and wasted in making Jack-o-lanterns. The same wasteful practice has ap plied to apples in the time-honored Hallowe'en "sport of 'bobbing for ap ples.* It is not the purpose of the food administrator to discourage harmless little celebrations in the home, but this year it is imperative that every scrap of food be saved." HALLOWE'ENING BANNED To the people of Latrobe:: In view of the necessity of | taking all precautions possible, against the spread of influenza in our community, I feel that it will be the part of wisdom to forego all public observance of the Hal. lowe'en customs, this year; and as Burgess of Latrobe | hereby forbid all #Hallowe upon the part of the boys; together with all masquerading, all visiting from house to house by mum. mers, and all other forms of Hal. Towe'en observance which, if per. mitted, might be the means of spreading the disease which is claiming so many lives in other parts of the country. As Burgess of the town, it is my. plan to add several plain clothesmen to the regular police force, in order to make certain the enforcement of these orders. I trust, however, that the volun. tary acquiescence in the plan to do away with all. Hallowe'ening will be so complete -that it will not be necessary to make a sin. gle arrest. J. E. PEEBLES, Burgess.
