Last W&rning For Our
Halloween Youngsters
“We want our youngsters to be a treat
and not a triek to drivers,” “In the first
plače, they must see, and see well. Many
falše faces limit the vision of anyone
wearing one — makes it hard to see ap-
proaching cars. I strongly advise par-
ents to help the kids disguise their
faces by using makeup. Rouge, lipstick
and eyebrow pencil can do an amazing
job of painting weírd and funny faces
on freckle-faced and rosy-cheeked boys
and girls.”
We would like to appeal to parents to
see to it that the youngsters wear cos-
tumes made of light-colored or reflecto-
rized materiál. These precautions aid
drivers in seeing the trick-or-treaters,
should they dart into the streets.
“Actually. the best Plalloween traffic
accident prevention is to keep ehildren
off the Street at night,” “Of course, this
is not an easy thing to do. But parents
can get together and arrange indoor
parties at community centers or in their
homes. Those parties will keep our
make-believe spooks from taking the
chance of becomming honest-to-good-
ness ghosts.”
