CAPITOL BEAT
Halloween tips via
1987
News from the state legislature
and around Oregon
Halloween comes Saturday and little ghosts, goblins and witches
will hit the streets of Cottage Grove at dusk, seeking treats from
residents.
The Cottage Grove Police plan heavier than normal patrols that
night. But a little common sense could be the best way to ensure this
Halloween doesn’t turn into a truly ghoulish experience.
Police Chief Dick Hoffer warned drivers to be prepared for pe-
destrians trick-or-treating Saturday evening. Hoffer said youngsters
should wear costumes that are easy for motorists to see at night. He
advised against masks that block peripheral vision explaining that
youngsters need to see clearly while crossing the street.
Traveling in groups is also suggested. Hoffer said it’s a good idea
for all trick-or-treating groups to be supervised by an adult. He add-
ed that youngsters who travel without supervision should follow a
predetermined route.
