never alone. Small groups, of
perhaps three, are preferred.
A flashlight bright costumes
with reflective strips, regular
shoes to avoid tripping, and
face make-up rather than a
mask are important sugges
tions. Why make-up rather
than a mask? Very often,
children cannot see adequate
ly through the eye holes in a
mask ^ which is made to fit
anybody.
Children are reminded to let
their parents know where they
plan to go, to walk and not run,
and to carry no toy weapons
which might prove harmful.
It’s very important that
and that children not eat any
examine all goodies collected,
and that childrn not eat any
thing until they reach home.
Wrapped candies are the saf

be examined.__,
