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.

Face daaign
Use face makeup rather than
masks so children can see easily.
Children can draw pictures of the
faces they want parents to design on
them.
Apply cold cream base and then
design faces with makeup, pencils,
lipstick, rouge, blush, eye shadow
or clown white. Types of faces can
include witches, goblins, ghosts, pi­
rates, Indians, gypsies, clowns, de­
vils, cartoon characters or popular
television and movie characters.

than candles.

A c c M a o r iM
Have children carry white shop­
ping bags or use reflective tape de­
sign on bag. C arrying flashlights
will help children see better and be
seen more clearly. Make knives,
swords or other accessories from
cardboard rather than have children
carry sharp objects.
