Motorists Urged To Be On Alert Ghosts, Goblins To Be On Loose Saturday By HARRY WILLIAMSON IJALLOWEEN ghosts and goblins will be doing their thing in bigger numbers than ever Saturday, and motorists and parents are urged to "do their thing'" 10 insure a safe night. Von Sniith, manager of a Lawton department store, said sale of Halloween masks and costumes lias increased each year in the pasi and should reach a new high in 1970. "Hie most popular costume-type varies each Halloween, with the comic strip character Archie going well this year, and Salman leading the way in 1969." Smith said. He added that the spooky types, such as monsters, skeletons and witches Area Weafher Forecast Mild weather through Saturday. Highs today and Saturday in lower 70s.

He said masks, as usual, are out-selling Ml costumes by about 50 per cent, with many people preferring to "manufacture" costumes from old household clolhinj. Along this line, the Toy Manufacturers of America reported a many people are turning to "non-establishment" types, wi'h more youngsters beins ouitiued as hippies, hobos and hillbillies.

A second Lawton store manager said more homeowners arc buying their Halloween hand-outs, rather than preparing kitchen items, such as candied apples and popcorn bails. not that people are getting lazy, but that manu- facturers are presenting a bigger choice, and packaging them in more convenient forms for Holloween treats," the manager said. A threat that has grown in recent years is vhe intentional poisoning of children by' strangers, the Southwestern Insurance Information Service reported. Capl. C.

-jr. Hawkins, head or the police juvenile division, said parents should should exercise extreme caution in allowing their children to eat unwrapped or unpacka.qetl candy, "By 1'av, the majority of poisoning cases arise from unwrapped candy." he said. Hawkins added that parents can help protect their children by making sure they are ade- quately supervised on their trick-or-treat rounds, Either adults or older teenagers should accompany younger children on Halloween, he said. For traffic safety. Capt.

E. L. Scott, head of the police traffic division, said parents should insure the following: that children on their rounds always walk not run across streets, giving additional reaction time for motorists. Also, the children should cross streets only at corners. that masks to be worn by their children fit.

properly so evesighl will not be hindered. if dark colored costumes are to be worn, light objects, such as a white scarf, should be attached, or reflectorized tape used. each group of children or individual child should be accompanied by an adult, who should have a flashlight handy. Scott said the residential areas will be heavily patrol- ed by traffic units, and motorists should use extreme caution, -watching for children, in unexpected places. "Twenty five miles per hour, under ideal conditions, is the speed limit in residential sections.

But, Halloween night is most certainly not an ideal condition. "A youngster may dart out between parked cars and result in a death." Scott said. Halloween trick-or-treaters, from witches to ferocious cats, will be banging on doors of -Lawton homes Saturday night.
