There’s Nothing In Life
That Love Cannot Change
W here there is love
the heart is light,
W here there is love
the day is bright
W here there is love
there is a song
To help when things
are going wrong,
W here there is love
there is a sm ile
To make all things
seem more w orthw hile,
W here there is love
there's quiet peace,
A tranquil place
where tu rm o ils cease.

SAFETY ON THE STREET
• Have an adult accom pany
children on th e ir treat-gathering
route. Avoid un fa m ilia r neighbor
hoods or hom es o f strangers. Stop
only at houses or apartm ents that
are w ell lit.
• Tell children to accept only
m anufactured-w rapped treats and
not to sam ple anything u n til they
return home. Inspect th e ir treats
fo r possible tam pering.
• T e ll c h ild re n to p o lite ly
decline any in vitations to enter a
hom e or apartm ent. S im ilarly,
d o n ’t encourage c h ild re n you
d o n ’t know to enter your home.
• Instruct children to walk, not
run, from house to house. They
should w alk on sidew alks, not in
the streets, and cross at intersec
tio n s or crossw alks. Teach them
not to dart o u t betw een parked
cars.
• O ld e r k id s w ith o u t a d u lt
chaperones should alw ays travel
in groups, never alone. Have them
plan a ro u te to fo llo w and
designate a tim e th e y ’ll return
home.
COSTUMES
• A ffix name, address and
phone num ber to the inside of
young c h ild re n ’s c o stu m e s in
case they get lost. Give children
co in s and in stru ct them to call if
there is a problem .
• Natural m asks of make-up are
preferable to plastic or rubber
ones that may restrict breathing or
o b stru c t peripheral vision.
• P urchase o n ly c o s tu m e s ,
beards and w ig s labeled “ flam e
resistant.”
• See that costum es are short
enough so that youngsters d o n ’t
trip. B right colors and costum es
w ith re fle cto r tape are m ore visi
ble. Have them wear safe and
sturdy shoes.
• Swords, knives and sim ilar
costum e accessories should be
made of so ft fle xib le material.
Avoid toy w eapons that could be
m istaken fo r the real thing.
• D on't a llow children to use
candles. Carry a fla s h lig h t instead.
The N ational PTA suggests that
a better alternative to children go
ing door-to-door could include ask
ing your local PTA to host an all
school H allow een party having
children dress up. Award prizes for
the best costum es. The school
could show a “ g h o s t” m ovie or
have a parent or teacher read
g h o st stories. Parents m ig h t pro
vide refreshm ents and individual
bags o f treats fo r each child to
take home.
A nother idea is fo r parents to
host a house party fo r children and
teens and th e ir fam ilies. Everyone
could dress up as their favorite
characters and participate in a
treasure hunt in and around the
house.
O ther alternatives to trick-or-
treating include creating a haunt
ed house fo r teens, staging a
