4-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, October 26, 1983 The Constables Corner by Constable Don Anderson, Durham Regional Police Halloween is fast approaching approaching and many parents and children are putting a lot of thought into the costume to be worn for trick or treating. The costume must do much more than merely disguising the wearer , or representing a character.. Hopefully the costuhie will identify the wearer as a pedestrian in the night traffic scene. Bright colours and reflective materials will help accomplish this identification. identification. The costume should be safe, short enough so the wearer will not trip on strange steps and dark walkways. The costume should be fire resistant in the event of contact with candles.

It would be. wise to have the parents check all treats before anything is eaten. An adult should accompany accompany smaller children, older ones should travel in groups, never alone.
