Halloween Safety Tips
The Illinois Criminal Justice Authority reminds parents and children of some tips for making this year's Halloween safe.
1. Never Trick or Treat alone! Go in a group, with parents or friends.
2. Daylight hours are best for Trick or Treating. If children murt g» "fter dark pick well-lighted streets and carry a flashlight.
fs. Make sure Halloween costumes are safe. They should fit properly so children can see and breathe easily and won't trip while walking. Wear light colored costumes or decorate yours with reflective tape so drivers can see you. Make-up, rather than a mask, can be used to create a spooky or fun look while being safer.
4.   Children should always use sidewalks. Cross at corners only—never between parked cars or in the middle of the block. If there are no sidewalks, they should walk on the left side of the street facing traffic.
6.  Stay in a familiar neighborhood. Parents should know their children's routes and which friends they will

6. Trick or Treaters should never eat anything until they get home. Unwrapped candy shoud be thrown out not eaten! Always wash and cut fruit. If any suspicious treats are found, call your local police.
7. Homeownen should leave porch lights on so children will know it's all right to knock.

Our Cub Scout Pack 167, Den 1 & 2, visited the Huntley Fire Station on October 24tii. We liked the big new fire engine and all tiie controls   The tank truck holds lots of wal or   We saw the ambulance and heard the sireiis, the bell and the air hern. The coatroom has heavy pr^itective equipment. The office had a radio to listen to other fire stations for emergencies. We were impressed with all their trophies.
Thank you Mr. Veath for showing us your fire station and talking to us about fire safety. We really like the fire and rescue patch you gave us.
