Local News Halloween safety For most kids, Halloween is the highlight of the harvest season. But for the victims of cruel adults tricks or preventable accidents, it can be a time o i great tragedy. The North Carolina Medical So ciety offers the following tips in the hope that this year's celebration will be the safest yet : Warn children aot to eat anything before they get home. Make it a rule: Eat no treat until you've checked it for embedded objects or chemicals. Don't let small children go out alone. You, another adult, or a re sponsible older child should go with them. Even then, don't allow them to stray too far from familiar neighbor hoods Buy flame resistant costumes that are hard to burn and easv to put out once ignited. Buy brightly colored costumes that stand out in the dark. Make sure cos tumes fit properly. It's too easy to trip on an overly long costume. Make masks out of make-up. Most masks restrict vision and impede breathing. If your child insists on a store-bought mask, make sure it fits securely and has large eyeholes. Be sure that swords, knives, and other costume accessories are made out of flexible material.

Hospital to x-ray candy for local kids ELIZABETH CITY-Albemarle Hos pital's Radiology Department will x ray Halloween candy free of charge again this year, according to Direc tor of Radiology Bob Carson. Screen ing will begin at ?:00 p.m. on October 31st until 8:30 p.m. Parking is avail able in the rear of the hospital near the Emergency Room entrance. About 150 area children brought their trick-or-treat goodies to Albe marie for x-ray last Halloween. Car son cautions parents, however, that x-rays only show metallic objects and that all candy should be checked carefully for signs of tampering. Here are some additional tips on Halloween safety from Albemarle: Only trick-or-treat in neighbor hoods that are familiar? preferably where parents know whose homes are being visited. Costumes should allow youngsters to move and breathe freely. If nec essary, cut eyeholes in masks larger to make sure children can see in all directions. Carry flashlights and -or put refle citve tape on costumes so that chil dren will be clearly visible after dark. Youngsters should be acompanied by an adult; if they are not accompa nied, they should be instructed on how to cross the street safely and never to enter the homes or cars of strangers. No candy should be eaten until par ents have had an opportunity to ex amine each piece thoroughly? throw away any doubtful pieces. Have a safe and happy Halloween! Public urged to help wildlife officers Thousands of sportsmen take to the field each fall to enjoy the hunting seasons. Unfortunately, fall is also the peak season for wildlife violations, and wildlife enforcement officers need help from the public. "Most hunters are fine sports men, but there are a few whose actions can ruin the sport for ev eryone," said J.C. Staley a wild life enforcement officer from Perquimans County. "Hunting during closed seasons, shooting over the bag limits and before or after legal shooting hours, and disregarding other wildlife regu lations can limit the progress we've made in restoring our wildlife populations. We control this actibity as much as we can, but it's impossible to be every where at once. There is a statewide average of only one or two officers stationed in each county. Therefore, the public can be a great help in controlling wildlife violations by reporting them to us as quickly as possi ble." Staley adds that fire-lighting of deer, an especially serious wild life violation, peaks during the fall. Teams of fire-lighters usually operate from vehicles. One man will blind a deer with a powerful spotlight while the other shoots the animal with a high-powered rifle. Commercial fire-lighters may kill large num bers of deer. "There are a number of signs which indicate fire-lighting is taking place," said Staley. "The most obvious are lights being shone in fields and shots being fired. Others are single or tan dem vehicles traveling at a snail's pace through fields or along country roads at night, ex cessive numbers of tire tracks at crossroads where vehicles have repeatedly turned around to sweep fields with their lights, wavy tire tracks caused by fire lighters swerving from side-to side as they sweep the fields with Look who's new M1C0LE M.
