Douglas Lions met at a dinner meeting held at Mike's Place Monday evening, and worked over plans for the coming Community Hallowe'en Party to be dubbed the "Ghost Walk." This community party, which is for both children and the parents is an effort to provide something different for the youth of the community and so that parents will not have to remain home for Trick or Treat which has been a custom in the past years. It is not intended to deprive the children of their treats, said the Lion spokesman, but to provide even more in the line of treats and to give the children some real tricks to do which require skill, etc.
Among committees reporting were Chris Ehrendreich, who stated prizes were already here and should please any child. Chairman Shudshift reported all committees were functioning; Steve Ford, reported smart decorations were planned and that a huge stateside pumpkin should be here for the event.
