Tips for Carefree Goblins and Ghouls

discretion and care, particular.
ly the small folk who flit about
at the close of October.

Halloween is just around
the corner and the B,C, Auto-
mobile Association reminds mo-
torists to drive with extra
caution to help ensure that this
year's crop of goblins will
return from whence they came
to enjoy their spoils. :

Youngsters will be out
after.dark when the weather
may well be foggy or rainy to
further obscure visibility. Many
will be dressed in dark cos-
tumes and intent upon pranks,
not safety.

The BCAA urges drivers
to: watch out for trick-or-
treaters darting across the
streets, If you are driving on
Halloween evening, turn on
your headlights earlier than
usual so you can see and also be
seen.

Many communities now
arrange a neighborhood Hallo-
ween party, instead of allowing
youngsters to canvass the
streets and risk receiving tam-
pered candy.

For small children this
might be a particularly good
idea, the club says. Bobbing for
apples and winning prizes for
costumes can be just as much
fun, and far safer, for today’s
trick-or-treater.

. But for concerned parents
of the traditional trick-or-treat-
er, the BCAA offers these
guidelines for their safety:

e Dress children in white
costumes or outline their cloth-
ing in reflective tape, and

‘ensure that their regalie is
flame proof.

e If possible, avoid masks
in favor of make-up, as masks
can slip and obscure their vision

and ensure that costumes are
above the ankle to avoid the
risk of tripping.

e Have ‘children carry a
flashlight.

Deafness: Invisible Handicap

Suffered by One in 10 Canadians

As you reud thislisten to
the sounds that are going on

Health and Welfare Cunada
says that one in ten Canadians

Your occupation may be
contributing to your hearing

study Indicuted that 1.7 mil-

Most peuple suffer a loss

In fact, 30% of people over
70 endure u partial loss of
hearing. Loss of hearing also
occurs as u result of cur in-
féctions, accidents or the side
effects uf massive doses of
certain drugs.

Deafness is often such a
gradual process that no one
notices the loss until the
hard-of-hearing person really
cannot take purt in a conver-
sation, That {s the time when
you should see your doétor for

e Do not permit young-
sters ‘to trick-or-treat alone.
Toddlers should be accom-
panied by an older brother,
sister or parent.

e Urge youngsters to com-
plete their rounds before dark.
Set a definite time for your
children to be home.

e Know which streets your
children will be canvassing.
Instruct them to visit only one
side of the street at a time and
not to cross back and forth.

« Sweep your walk clear of
slippery leaves and remove any
other obstacles that might
cause treat-seekers to stumble
or fall. Leave an outside light
on.

e Warn your youngsters
not to enter the homes of
strangers or eat unwrapped
candy or fruit. Caution them
against accepting rides from
strangers. Ask them to walk,

not run, and to look both ways t

before crossing a street.

e Finally, when your
ghouls and goblins come home
to roost, inspect their Hallo-
ween goodies and dispose of
any unwrapped articles.

The best treats to offer
neighborhood children are
store-bought, wrapped candy
or gum rather than home-made
popcorn balls which will most
likely be thrown out by other
concerned parents reluctant to
lake needless chances.

Clinic Work
Study Eyed

Selkirk College will ask the
‘education ministry for $25,000
to. study the feasibility of
developing a “co-operative mo-
del” for the institution's nurs-
‘ing program.

College council members
voted last Thursday to request
ithe supplementary money to
‘hire a “work-study co-ordina-
‘tor" who would modify Sel-
kirk’s current program to in-

arrangements with the hos-
pital.”

The proposal will “fall flat”
if the college is unable to work
out the arrangements with the
hospitals, he said,

Kip Underwood, director
of the college’s Nelson voca-
tional school, questioned the
Proposal and asked whether it
would jaterfere with the practi-
cal nursing program at his
institution. He also asked
whether the new system would

is among the “constant criti-
cisms” of Selkirk College nurs-
ing graduates. The proposed
co-operative system would
work the clinical study sessions
into the two-year program and
extend it slightly, he said.
Anderson said the college
required the extra $25,000 to
carry out the atudy because it
“didn't have the resources to
answer all the questions that
were being raised.” He cited
consultation with area hospitals
in preparing the program as
one of the required tasks the
college has been unable to

. undertake.

“The ministry does have a
fund for co-operative-type edu-

cation proposals such as this,”
he :

“The indication we have
from the ministry is that we

‘ request it, and this will allow us

has previously been opposed by
the college council.

not intended to displace the
