FRIDAYJS:HALL'QWE"ENF'riday
night of this . week is Hallowe'en and if :past records.
mean anything, it, will be a 'night of much fun and merriment, sprink-
led with bits of sadness throughout ' our Country.
The sadness comes annually in the form of ' various accidents.
resulting; largely from the lackof safety measures put forth by par-
ents,
ar ents, children and the general public.
Hallowe'en is one of : the biggest nights of the ,year for our
youngsters, but it is also -one of the most dangerous: for -them -to be out.
With face masks obscuring' their view, heavy clothing hampering
their walk and. bubbling enthusiasm dulling their sense of safety, the •
young. Hallowe'enersbecome prime targets for : automobiles.—Moving-
objects,
utomobiles:Mov ng -objects; and carelessly thrown items, which'. go hand in hand ;with the
way the older gang sometime' observe Hallowe'en, become a threat
to smaller -children who sometimes failto realize danger -when it is
present.

inept in the winners at the Walker-

Parents would do "well, to examine the goodies collected` by ,the
youngsters: Past occurrences have seen ' children bring home treats
which were unsafe for eating
Parents can do much., to insure the safety of 'their children' on
Hallowe'en. If . the children are small enough,., they still might. be wil-
ling tohave mom.or dad take them on their'rounds.' If they're 're • too. big
y g,
for. that, some words of.safety advice might do a lot;of good. If • they're
too big to listen, then a few •'good whacks onthe right spot, might
make a lasting impression: ;
Cautr�n your .kids before Hallowe'en, . it might •..a
. . : y • • , .. e � , g save life . o
serious ,injury. If you're driving. that night, slow down.
