Darkness makes youngsters invisible to motorists but there is a way to add an edge of safety to purchased or made - at -home costumes, Dr. Richard Black, President of the organi- zation says. The edge is retro - reflective material. "I didn't see him in time" is the most common explanation given by drivers hitting pedes- trians, particularly at night when a driver's view is limited to the length of the headlight beam. Children in dark clothing are the most susceptible to such accidents but even white clothing is safely visible at speeds of up to 50 m.p.h. "On the other hand, " Dr. Black said, "Optometric stud- ies have found that retro - reflective material is safely visible even at speeds of 70 to 80 m.p.h." Retro reflective material is available in either iron -on or sew on fabrics and tape, so youngsters can make up their own designs. "Just be certain they will be visible from front, back and sides," Dr. Black said. The other side of Halloween safety is to see safely. A poorly - fitted mask, which can easily slip out of position, or one with small eye slits poses a potential danger because it can clock a child's view of oncoming cars, objects in his path, a hole, a step or a curb. Dr. Black said he favors us- ing makeup as a disguise rather than masks. "With makeup, the child has his normal field of vision and is less likely to have an accident because he didn't see something ahead or to the side. " He cautioned that makeup should be of the nonallergic type and should be applied carefully by an adult to avoid s'ettina makeup particles or applicators in a child's eyes. Parents accompanying their children on the Halloween trek should be certain to add retro - reflective material to their own clothing, the optometrist 'sug- gested, so that drivers can see them, too. All parents should caution their children not to walk in the street (to use yards if there are no sidewalks), to look care- fully before crossing a street, and to cross at a corner with a street light if at all possible. In addition, give the child a battery prowered light to carry. Not too early to start home- made,Chriostmas Cake It's not a bit too soon to start your Christmas cake baking, particularly if you plan to remember friends and acquaint- ances at Christmas time. Food specialists at the Ontario Food Council, Ministry of Agriculture and Food, remind you that delicious homemade fruit cakes from your kitchen can be among the most appreciated presents you give this holiday season. Just pick your favourite Christ- mas cake recipe, select the ingredients from the presently ° °z,Cn eC `sa �tj CA Cid u v' �CZ° co Cn ® W C �C E •kCn 46(135= W° O a) cn cn CCS �� � � ,•.� W ' C • > t'C c� Qa o 0 A A- Q rm, � Well-stacked shelves of your supermarket, spend a few hours in the kitchen, then store your baking, properly until giving time. You'll long be remember- ed as a talented and most con- siderate friend. When making Christmas cake, it is generally not advis- able to double the recipe. You could bake a recipe in smaller pans or cut it into loaves or quarters onced baked, for giving away. You may cer- tainly substitute fruit ingredi- ents but always be sure the total weight of fruit is the same as originally called for in the recipe. Baked cakes once re- moved from ' the oven should be allowed to cool and set, Once cooled, wrap them care- fully in aluminum foil. Store in the refrigerator, or in a tin can in a cool basement to allow the cake to "mellow". . About a week before "giving" will be time enough to devote special attention to decorating, select- ing a pretty container and gay wrapping to set it off. 0 Hensall church .» ws Rev. W. D.
