A child's costume is c ritic a lly important to his safety, said Dr.Charles B. Margach, president of the OCA. He must be able to see clearly through his mask or m ake-up with unobstructed side vision. A poorly fitte d mask can slip to block the child's view making him a candidate for a var ie ty of accidents. " It's best to te ll children to carry their masks while they are a alking between houses, and to walk on sidew alks or well away from roadways where there arc no sidewalks, " he added. Hippie outfits, popular now, should not include sun glasses for outdoor wear because they severely r e strict nighttim e vision. Home owners can aid young visiters by tu n in g on porch and yard lights. Steps, in particular, should be w e ll- lighted, absent of toys and tools. Flashlights or e le ctric lanterns can be carried by children as part of their costumes to help them see and make them more easily seen by motorists. White or lig h t colored m aterials as part of the child's outer clothing or costume is an important precaution. Re cent optométrie studies show that white is safely visible to a driver traveling up to 50 m . p. h. Clear vision to a night driver is lim ite d to the e f fective length of a car's headlight beams, since side vision offers little aid. The only safe driver on Halloween is the slow driver. A car traveling 20 m . p. h. on dry pavement requires 40 feet to stop, if the driver has average reaction lim e (4/10 sec.). maybe a while longer. - P— Before 1 forget a request an other week le t me say without further ado that th e Pacific D rive-In is once again O|«n for business.
