GRAHAM On S a t u r d ay, October 30th, 1971, m a n y witches an d goblins w ill be out t r i c k or treating on Halloween night. on our busy streets on that night. 1. If your ch i Id is wearing a mask to conceal his identity, make sure that he is able to see through the mask. In some cases, themasksdonot have very large opening areas, and i t may be necessary to take a pair of scissors and cut these openingsa little larger. A child cannot watch for cars properly if he can't see through his mask. 2. Make sure your child is wearing s o m e t hing in his costume of a reflec- tive nature. A dark costume is hard to se e on our dark streets at night, and almost impossible in some areas where lighting is not adequate. If the child is wearing reflective material, he can be e a s ily spotted by the motorist, there- by giving the motorist a chance to take evasive action if necessarv. 3. I n s t r u c t your child in the proper methods of going from house to house. Discourage him from running back and forth across the road at just any loc- ation on the street. The proper and saf- e s t \way wou Id be f or him to solicit t r e a t s on one side of the street, then cross at the corner properly and come back on the other side of the street. 4. AI so instruct your children not to p a r t a k e of any of the treats that they receive untilyou, as a parent, have had a chance to inspect them. We have had very little problem with candies, apples etc. , in this area, andwe hope this trend continues. 5. Remind children of all ages that this is anIght of fun and not one of malicious d arm a g e or destruction. lnstruct your children in being mindful of other peop- le's property so that everyone may en- joy Halloween. 6. D r i ve r s of motor vehicles should p a y s p e c i a 1 attention to these young chi I dren whose minds are not really notonsafetyduring this exciting night. In conclusion, we at the Police Dep- artment hope that everyone enjoys this Halloween, andwe hope that a few min- utes' instructionby the parents wi l en- sure that this Halloween is not marred by an accident.
