To All Mothers, Fathers:
Keep Halloween Safe
The highway isn't the only haz
ardous spot for Halloweeners. The
home and its surroundings can be
Just as big a boobytrap.
That tip from the Council? which
feels adults have an obligation to
keep the trick-or-treaters safe as
thy tramp from house to house Sa- J
turday night? served as advance
warning to parents (hat the annual
observance of all Saints Day (Hal
to you) is drawing near.
"Mcst motorists," the Council
said, "know you can't count on ex
cited youngsters to play it safe, so
they exercise extra caution when
driving on Halloween.
"Many homeowners, though,
haven't learned their lesson quite
?o well.
"Homeowners have a moral re
al Halloween. Furthermore, in
sponsigility to keep youngsters safe
many instances homeowners can
be legally responsible if someone is
injured on their property."
Follow these suggestions to guard
against a tragedy that may mar a
child's Halloween: ,
Light your porch if there,s any
chance of a visit from trick-or
treaters Saturday evening. An ex
cited youngster la ripe for a tumble
in th dark; Make sure your yard
isn't an obstacle course lor child
re* epecftvMfcts.] fie safes
of white cloth to temporary fences
around shrubbery or newly aeeded
grass; U you hav a dog. keep it
secured. The strange sights and 1
sounds of youngsters dressed up to '
look like ghosts and goblins could
excite it? with dine results.
