The Institute offered the fol­
lowing safety tips to motorists
and parents of trick-or-trea-
ters:
To motorists -- Drive slo­
wly and warily. Watch for chil­
dren darting out between par­
ked cars. Tap your horn oc­
casionally on dimly-lighted re­
sidential streets. Be extremely
cautious while backing out of
driveways.
To parents -- Escort your
littlest ones. If your children
are going as a group, give the
oldest a flashlight. Dress the
children in bright clothing or
stick reflective tape on their
costumes
or trick-or-treat
bags. Use scissors to widen the
eye holes in their masks. Urge
them to look up and down a
street before crossing.
Adults who do their own mer­
rymaking at Halloween par­
ties are reminded that drink­
ing and driving don’t mix.
" Remember,” the Institute
said, "that Halloween is a fun
time for children. In all the
excitement, they’re not likely to
be thinking of safety. You, the
motorist, have to do their think­
ing for them.
"If children’s Halloween an­
tics remind you that you were
a child once yourself, drive in
a manner to ensure that some
child will grow old enough to
say the same."
