Vol. 22 No. 41 Serving MCAS Kaneohe Bay, 1st MEB, Camp H.M. Smith and Marine Barracks. October 21, 1993 Halloween hours set for Oct. 31 GySgt. Randy Price Rows Marshal Office Trick-or-treating on Halloween night is a fun event to be shared by young and old alike, but a little planning for your child's safety before, during, and after this event will help to keep the "fun" in this traditional holiday. When organizing your child's costume, try to select one that is light in color. If that's not possible, it's a good idea to put reflective tape around the ankles, wrist, and on the headdress. While face painting is preferred, masks should be checked to ensure vision, hearing and breathing are as unrestricted as possible. In addition to their "goody" bag, children should carry a flashlight to help make them more visible to motorists on dark streets. Parents should not let their children go trick-or-treating alone. Groups of children accompanied by a responsible teenager or adult are safest, and they should walk on the sidewalks when possible- not in the street. Only well-lighted residences should be approached by trick-or-treater's and children should never step inside the house. Caution children in advance against eating anything they receive while trick-or-treating. While there has not been a problem here were tainted treats, parents should still closely check their child's treats for signs of tampering. Check fruit for punctures or slices and self-wrapped homemade candy should be avoided. Factory processed candy should also be checked for any irregularities. A simple rule to follow when inspecting Halloween treats is "if in doubt, throw it out." If any suspicious activities are observed or reported by children, or tampered treats are found by parents, contact the Military Police Department at 257-7114. Residents of off-base housing should contact the Honolulu Police Department. Flying high Trick-or-treat hours for the Air Station are from 5:30-8:30 p.m., Sunday Oct. 31.
