Peter Wraight The Halloween customs that we observe on October 31st had their beginnings long long ago. They came from the beliefs of the Druids - priests of Gaul and Britain. They believed that witches, demons, and spirits roamed the earth on the eve of November 1st. To protect themselves from the mean tricks of the bad spirits, the Druids offered them good things to eat. They also disguised themselves so that the spirits would think the Druids belonged to their own evil company. And so we celebrate Halloween by playing trick or treat, dressing up in costumes and wearing masks. In order to make this a safe and fun filled Halloween for your children here are a few simple reminders. To most children, getting dressed up is a real kick. However, costumes should not be long and flowing. You do not want your child tripping when walking up unfamiliar walks or stairways. Costumes and masks that cover the child's face do nothing more than obstruct their view. Children must be able to see road and pedestrian traffic. More people are accepting the fact that a "make-up" face is far more practical. If masks are worn, ensure that the eye openings are cut back far enough to give the child maximum visibility. Also make sure the costume is light coloured or at least has reflective material on the front and back. Before the trick or treaters hit the road, set some rules. Set limits as to how far they can travel and what time they must return home. If the children are calling on both sides of the street travel along one side, cross and travel the other side. An adult should accompany smaller children, older ones should travel in groups, never alone. Warn children not to go into strange houses, apartments or cars. It would also be wise to have the parents check all treats before anything is eaten. Each year there are groups of people who feel that Halloween is an excuse for them to destroy or disable property, both private and lic. For the benefit of these people, I would e to define the word "Mischief" as found in the Criminal Code of Canada. Mischief: Everyone commits mischief who willfully - (a) destroys or damages property; (b) renders property dangerous, useless, inoperative or ineffective; (c) obstructs, interrupts or interferes with the lawful use enjoyment or operation of property; (d) obstructs, interrupts or interferes with any person in the lawful use, enjoyment or operation of property. Possibly the above information will make " people think. A Halloween prank that fits into the above description could leave the prankster or offender with a Criminal record. In the name of a thoughtless Halloween prank, is it worth the risk?
