A MISTERY
LAKEWOOD. N.J., Sept. 2- these have been strange happening in the home of Mr. Mrs. Alan Davis. A mysterious scratching, banging and bumping in the walls of their home has become so strong it has knocked down pictures and lamps.
Investigators have torn the walls apart but have been unable to find the course of the sounds. They are also trying to find out if troublemakers have been at work.

A curfew is a specific type of law instituted by those in power. It is one that requires citizens to be off the streets and out of public places at specified hours.
There are active curfew laws in some communities in the United States today; these laws are currently functioning. The existing curfew laws generally refer to minors. These laws usually indicate the hour when children must be off the streets and out of public unless they are with their parents.
Curfew laws have a long tradition. William of Normandy introduced the custom to the British Isles after his invasion there in 1066. At curfew time, a bell was rung. The pealing at the bell indicated that citizens should extinguish any burning tires and clear the streets for the night. The word curfew actually developed at this time from the Norman French expression couvre-teu or cover the fire.

The game of golf is not a young game. This game which has traditionally been credited as a scottish creation, has been around for hundreds of years. Its long existence can definitely be verified through a check of centuries-old legal document.
Golf has definitely been around since at least the fifteenth century. This can be verified from a legal edict issued at the time in 1457, near the end of the rule of King James II, the scottish Parliament issued a decree outlawing the playing of golf. The reason was that golf was believed to be a waste of time. There was concern that citizens would be spending time on the useless sport such as archery, fencing, and jousting. Archery; fencing and jousting were, after all, considerably more useful in the defense of the country than golf.
