“Halloween Is Just Around the Corner, and
THE TRAFFIC GOBLINS WILL GET YOU
.. . If You Don’t Watch Out!”
This isn’t an idle threat from
kindergarten set, it’s a DEADLY
SERIOUS WARNING from, of all
people, Col. E. B. Tilley of Hous-
ton, President of the Texas Safety
Association, and Services Advisor
for the Gulf Oil Corporation.
“Sure, I believe in goblins,”
Col. Tilley said today as he dis-
cussed the dangers that lurk in
Texas streets and highways on
Halloween. “But don’t get me
wrong. I’m not talking about the
spooks that bring scared squeals
from the youngsters. The goblins
I fear, are the traffic goblins who
victimize unwary kids as they go
about their ‘haunting’ on Hallo-
ween.”
He spoke in support of the
Night Traffic Hazards program
which the Texas Safety Associa-
tion and the Texas Department of
Public Safety are conducting dur-
ing October.
C'ol. Tilley pointed out that
youngsters are likely to let safety
rules go by the board in the ex-
citement of scaring and being
scared on Halloween. He said,
“Many of the child fatalities and
injuries that occur on this holi-
day are caused by youngsters
dashing out into the street, often
dressed in dark costumes and
wearing masks.
“Masks prevent the children
from seeing clearly,” he said “and
dark costumes prevent the motor-
ist from seeing them. It wou\d
help a lot if parents would try to
get the kids to take off the masks
when they go outdoors. Parents
GIFT TEA HONORS
MISS EUNICE WHEAT
Miss .Sue Wilkinson, Mrs. W.
L. Wilkinson, and Mrs. T. H. Mc-
Donald honored Miss Eunice
Wheat, bride-elect of James Fu-
trell, with a gift tea Saturday
from three to six, at the Wilkin-
son home.
Guests were greeted by Mrs.
WTilkinson and registered in the
bride’s book presided over by Miss
Sue Wheat.
Miss Wheat, Mrs. J. F. Wheat,
Mrs. James Futrell and Miss Wil-
kinson received the guests.
A bridal party of miniature
dolls, dressed in pink, decorated
the mantle. .Other arrangements
of pink carnations and white
stock carried out the bride’s chos-
should also see that the young-
sters wear only light colored cos-
tumes or outfits trimmed with
white or reflectorized material.”
“The best way to keep the kids
safe.” Col Tilley said, “is to keep
them off the streets. I know this
isn’t easy, but if parents plan
home or community parties, it can
be done.”
He urged parents to band to-
gether to see that sufficient
parties and gatherings are provid-
ed in,, their communities to keep
youngsters entertained. If this is
done, he said, there will be little
inducement for them to go roam-
ing the streets.
He also reminded motorists to
keep a constant look-out for chil-
dren and to be especially careful
when driving in residential areas.
The Year of 19 53 will soon be
history and it will have recorded
in its pages for reference, the
greatest plans and accomplish-
ments for Mesquite ever to show
in a like period of time in the
history of the city since it was
first started by pioneer citizens.
The many populated areas add-
ed to the south, southeast, west
and northwest, have increased the

times the area of a year ago.
With the expansions already
made this year, it has become
capacitated to serve twenty thous-
and people, when they shall have
located in the more than 2,000
new homes either already under
construction or planned by de-
velopers, who have already per-
fected plans to construct many
fine new homes.
With the leaders of Mesquite,
working through the local Cham-
ber of Commerce along with those
who are investing in this fast
developing area, the year 1954
should be the year when many
achievements will be crowned
with final success.
With everyone working togeth-
er under enthusiastic leadership
toward inducing more industries
with substantial payrolls to locate
in, or even near, Mesquite, the
harvest of progress and increased
opportunities fob all will be great-
er than anyone here dreamed of
three or four years ago.
Just remember at all times that
a City government, able to oper-
ate under the Home Rule Charter,
aided by a soundly managed
Chamber of Commerce, can build
a modern City of 20,000 souls,
where a few years ago, a village
of a thousand souls stood.
