And with the arrival of Halloween will come the annual stories about vicious people who deliberately set out to harm children People who put razor blades in apples, mothballs in popcorn, over-0 doses of drugs or medicines in homemade candies or cookies. The list goes on and on. Ideally, we should be able to send our children out on trick- or-treat night with no fears for their safety. But, un­ fortunately, that is not realistic everywhere anymore. So it is important that we follow some guidelines this Halloween both for the safety of our children and for our own peace of mind. Following are some safety see "Aunt" Nellie out and about but just don't overdo it. The Art Christophers with t h e i r d a u g h t e r a n d s o n - i n - law, the Richard Harrisons, drove to Whitewater Sunday to visit Katy's brother who is recovering from several broken bones resulting from a bad fall.

This is vital. Often people put lighted pumpkins on their doorsteps or walkways. This is nice to create a Halloween mood, but dangerous should your child happen to stand too near the flame or get the hem of his costume caught on the pumpkin , top (If a child's clothing does catch on fire, have him fall quickly to the floor or grass and roll over and over with his arms folded on his chest and his face protected. (Don't allow him to run This only fans'the flames.) Smother the flames by wrapping the child in a coat, blanket, rug or; other heavy ^ material:) 2. The costume should be short enough to prevent trip­ ping It 's nice for your child to dress up in Mommie's or Daddy's clothing, but the hems should be pinned up for the night. Also, don't let your children walk all over the neighborhood in shoes too big for them. It 's dark out there and children can easily trip in an unfamiliar area. 3. The costume should be visible to drivers in the dark. Sew glowing tape on it or insist that your child carry a lighted flashlight. Novelty stores sell inexpensive errie flashlights with pumpkin ,, ghost and witch heads that can . make safety more fun for your child. 4. Wigs and masks also should be flame resistant. And masks and other facial disguises shouldn't restrict your child's vision or breathing. 5. Your child should be dressed warmly enough. Being a fairy princess in freezing weather can invite pneumonia. On the Trick-or-Treat Journey... 1. Ideally, an adult should accompany children on their trick - or - treat rounds, especially younger children. Don't let any child go trick-or- treating unless someone you trust -- a responsible older child, a neighbor, - is ac­ companying him. 2. Teach your child not to enter any stranger's home. Better still , instruct him to trick-or-treat only at homes of >„ your relatives, friends and neighbors you know. Definitely instruct them to avoid the homes of adults who are in­ tolerant of children. 3. Teach your child to be extremely careful crossing streets and alleys. The ex citement of Halloween cap' bring about carelessness. Also teach him to walk only on sidewalks while going from door to door. No one ap­ preciates having his lawns and gardens trampled. 4. Set boundaries and a curfew. Don't let your child stray into unfamiliar neigh borhoods and don't let him go too far that he becomes exhausted before he can retrace his steps home 5. Teach your child not to get into a car with strangers or join in trick-or-treating with group of children he does not know. "Treats".,. 1. Make it unquestionably clear to your child not to eat any of the goodies he receives until he returns home or Until a responsible adult has thoroughly examined the treats. 2. The best idea is to instruct your child to accept treats only from relatives, friends and neighbors he knows. 3;. Or, safer yet, join with several parents and have your own Halloween party for neigh­ borhood children. This offers fun, treats, and the most controlled safety situation. Have a happy, safe Halloween!
