Children need to see and be seen on Hallowe’en An Orangeville man has been charged after driving his truck into a shed owned by Bill Humphries of Walton early Monday morning. Timothy Brown had tried to avoid running into the back of a slowing van by swerving left.The truck hit the back left tire of the van and the back right tire of another truck passing in the other lane, causing it to cross the road where it hit and demolished the shed. Whether your “trick-or-treater” is a Little Angel, a Scary Goblin or a Ninja Turtle, parents need to ensure their child can see, as well as be seen this Halloween, advises the Ontario Association of Optome­ trists. “When children are wandering around at night, their safety depends as much on their vision as it does on their visibility,” says Dr. Mary Trinaistich, President of the OAO. The OAO suggests parents make sure all costumes allow the child to move and see freely. Here are some tips: • When it comes to costume planning, skip the masks and choose make-up. Masks can slip out of place, and the eye holes are often so small that a child's vision is reduced. With the wrong mask, a child may trip over stairs or sidewalks, and even step off curbs onto dangerous roadways. Look for the brands of waterproof makeup available for kids and make sure that the makeup particles and applicator do not get into the child's eyes. • You can also help to shine the way for your little goblins by providing them with a battery- operated flashlight - with a fresh set of batteries! The light will make them feel more safe in the dark, and will help them find their way on long driveways, on dark porches, and on roadways where there are no street lights. Plus, drivers are apt to see flashlights. • Don't forget to help drivers stay a safe distance from your children. The best protection is to apply retro-reflective tape or material to the child's costume. This material can be seeh at great distances, even by drivers travelling at moderate to high speeds. The OAO recom­ mends placing the tape on a child's shoes and on their back and chest, so they will be plainly visible. __________pafmupacnon SgiTOwto ft® The Citizen is looking for recipes for its Christmas cookbook. Flowers placed in memory of former member Continued from page 2 minutes of the last meeting, which were then adopted. The beautiful flowers in the library were from the late Mrs. Wilma Hemingway's garden sent by her husband Mr. Doug Hemingway. The Institute will hold its first card party of the season on Tuesday, Nov. 3 at 8 p.m. in the library. The correspondence was read. The Dublin branch in Halton District has challenged the Majestic Branch to raise 125 loonies by May to go to F.W.I.O. head quarters. The secretary is to pass the jar each meeting to collect the loonies. A discussion period took place about ordering Centennial Books for 1997, also the Resolution for the Convention. It was decided to send $25 to the Fair Board and a donation for Funfest. Three members attended the convention on Thursday and five on Friday. The members were reminded to keep track of their volunteer hours. The members will be quilting again this winter. The convenors for this meeting were Mrs. Edna Pletch and Mrs. Yvonne Knight. The topic was International Affairs - Life Style of other nations. The roll call, “A country you would like to visit and in what season” had some very varied and interesting answers. The motto was given by Yvonne Knight “Tidbits on Heritage”. She read a little “Food for Thought” and tidbits from a local person's diary in the Tweedsmuir book. Yvonne then introduced the two guest speakers. They were new Canadians Angelika Hammel, who came from Germany and now lives in the Monkton-area and Yolanda Graf of Switzerland who now lives at Mitchell. They showed slides and spoke on the differences of the two countries and how Canada was to be the “Promised Land.” The ladies were thanked by Edna Pletch and were presented with a gift. The members voted to sponsor the Cranbrook 4-H Club. The financial report was given. Happy Birthday was sung to members with October birthdays. O Canada and the Institute Grace brought the meeting to a close. F BRUSSELS ’Produce VILLAGE MARKET Ontario FRESH CARROTS. | 21b. 21VI cello bag • -K %^ea.
