Portland Observer, October 19, 1983 Page 7 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Have a safe Halloween Here arc some tips for parents from the National Safety Council to help children enjoy a safe, happy Halloween: C o etu m a Design the costume so children can easily walk without tripping or entangling feet. Have children wear comfortable, well-fitted shoes. All wigs and beards should be designed so they don ’ t get into children's faces, obscuring vision. Use light colors so children show up at night. O r, use reflective tape on costumes. Buy flame retardant costumes or make them from flame retardant material. Design costumes to expand, so if it’s cold, wafm clothing can be worn underneath. W alk on sidewalks, not streets. Cross busy streets at intersections or crosswalks. Look both ways before crossing. Avoid running out be tween parked cars. Wait for proper tra ffic signals when crossing. I f there are no sidewalks, walk on the left side of the road, facing traffic. Parents should examine all candy. Discard unwrapped or loosely wrapped items. Wash fruit and slice it into small pieces, checking for inedible addi tions. I f anything is suspicious about treats, report it to police. T rea ts P re p a rin g your horns Have children save their candy until they get home so it can be checked before eating. Give them a meal or snack before going out so they won't be tempted to eat candy before they get home. Keep dogs away from front doors so they w on't frighten children. Keep a light on so it's easy to see steps. Pick up tools, ladders, play things or other objects from the yard so children won't trip. Using Motorists Slow down in residential areas. Obey all tra ffic signs and regula tions. Watch for children darting out from between parked cars. Watch for children in dark clothing walking down the road, on the shoulders or on the median. Watch carefully when backing out of drive ways. I f you're driving children, make sure they fasten seat belts. Have children get out of car on the curb side away from traffic.
