For a safe and happy Hallowee n... What do ghosts and trick-or- treaters have in common? If you are out driving on Halloween ight, the answer is ob- viousJ Both are often difficult to see until you have a frightening ex- perience. The Canadian Automobile Association offers some common sense safety tips to help you and your children enjoy a safe and happy Halloween night. Pat Curran of CAA . Toronto cautions that costumes should be light in color and fit correctly. "Use retroreflective tape to outline and decorate a costume for greater visibility," says Curran. "Children can use their imaginations while creating a safe costume." Retroreflective tape is inexpensive and readily available. "Flashlights and light sticks are a must if youngsters will be out at night," Curran continues. "They increase visibility to motorists as well as lighting a pathway." A plastic pumpkin with a flashlight inside for "spooky" lighting is fun to carry and also allows youngsters to be seen. CAA Toronto suggests that children be encouraged to use makeup rather than face masks. If a mask cannot be avoided, enlarge the ey holes so that a child can see in all directions. AssorteI non-toxic makeup kits are sold in stores and are deisgned to make a child's face Two men sought after stabbing Durham, Regional Police are looking for two men who are believed to have abducted an Oshawa man and stabbed him with a knife and an ice pick. Police have issued a warrant for the arrest of Grant Kurt Landry, 31 and Donald Paul Terry, 29. Both have been seen in the Oshawa- Whitby-Pickering area. Police say the two men should be considered dangerous. The warrant was issued after a man was lured to 1148 Southgate St. in Oshawa on Oct. 12. Police say the victim received cuts to his nose and the back of his hands and head. He was later kicked until he became uncon- scious. The victim was found by citizens in the area of the Holiday Inn in Oshawa. Anyone knowing the whereabouts of the two men are asked to call police at 579-1234 or Crime Stoppers at 222-8477 or 1-800-387-8477. DONALD TERRY a masterpiece of gore or humor without covering the eyes. "Halloween can be fun for older siblings and parents as well if you accompany smaller children on their planned trick-or-treat trip," says Curran. One restriction that should be discussed before leaving home is to limit doorbell ringing only to those homes known by the family. Even in familiar neigh- borhoords, stop only at houses with well-lighted porches or doorways. Children of all ages should be in- structed not to enter any residence unless the accompanying adult ap- proves. Safe driving tips for motorists: Drive slowly in residentail neigh- borhoods between the hours of 5 and 9 p.m.; watch for children dar- ting out from between parked cars; use extra caution when pulling in or out of driveways; use headlights as soon as it's dusk; come to a com- plete stop when making a right turn on red, after determining that there are no costumed creatures in the crosswalk who might be unaware of your presence; remember that ayoungster's thoughts are on fun, not pedestrian safety. Halloween can be an enjoyable and safe holiday for everyone. However, it requires shared responsibility on the part of both motorists and pedestrians. Drive and walk with extra caution on "spooks" night out." FRED WYNISTORF, and Paul McInnis, m Whitby Kinsmen took day, Oct. 17 to help Am WHITBY FREE PRESS.

CAA Toronto cautions parents to have youngsters wear retro-reflective materials on costumes and observe pedestrian safety rules. Oct. 31 requires combined responsibility on the part of motorists and pedestrians alike. Parents should encourage their ghosts and goblins to follow sale walking behaviors and send them out on their trip through the neigh- borhood with a flashlight and costumes embellished with retroreflective tape. Motorists should follow safe driving prac- tices, limiting their speed in residential areas between 5 and 9 p.m. Be extra careful pulling into or backing out of driveways. Remember that a youngster's Halloween thoughts are on having fun, not on pedestrian safety. Help make Oct. 31 an enjoyable and sale holiday for everyone.
