NOTICE
Complete returns from Tuesday's general election for all Sewicidey Valley boroughs and townships will be carried in next week's Herald.
Valley residents enjoyed a quiet, peaceful Halloween, said Police Chiefs from Sewickley, Edgeworth and Leetsdale.
All three assigned extra men to patrol that night,. and officially observed Halloween between the hours of 6 and 9 p.m.
Sewickley’s Chief, Lee Jones said “this was a marked contrast to last year when there was some disturbance with spray paint and shaving cream. I appreciate the behavior of the youth and older citizens this Halloween.
Chief Louis Perry of Leetsdale also commented on the orderliness of citizens ‘ Friday night. “Everything was quiet”, he said “there were -no complaints of vandalism.”
“This was one of the better ones we’ve had”, commented Edge-worth Police Chief Lawrenoe Kroener. “There were no fights and no vandalism”.
One or two isolated incidents occurred in Sewickley. A group of youths' gathered, complete with cans of spray paint, in froht of the YMCA, but were quickly dispersed.
The only other incident involved the breaking of automobile antennas in the vicinity of Dixon Road. Chief Jones said the incident probably was not connected with Halloween but could have occurred anytime. The petty vandalism was the latest in a series of similar complaints, he said.
