Can they be seen at night? Does the costume have a reflector band or tape? Smaller children should carry a flashlight, Is the costume too long? Will they trip when walking acaross the road?. Will the costume allow your child freedom of movement?" More safety tips include, "Tell your child to use the sidewalk, not the road and teAy_pn one, of the street d't a time and to corners when crossing the roadway," Householders are reminded to keep porch and yard lights on, plan to have competent super- vision for all trick and treaters, invite youngsters into your home and remove all lawn chairs and obstacles from your verandah," All officers of the Exeter police department will be on duty Saturday night and on the lookout for property damage and van- dalism.

The inspection done on Sep- tember 25 showed 1,295 domestic water users and commercial accounts• totalled 181, The average domestic daily con- sumption of water was listed at 118 gallons. At the same time a letter from the same provincial body con- curred with progress being made on the Cudmore well in Usborne township which prompted mayor Bruce Shaw to comment, "That's a nice change. Two letters saying we are doing things right." The Commission agreed to finalize the agreement on the Cudmore well and have it registered.
