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.

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.
