On Halloween We sincerely hope that any young people considering pranks for the halloween season will realize, in advance, that they and their parents, will be held strictly accountable for any damage done. This includes the painting of signs, which are very costly to repaint; damage to property of any kind; and especially to the very dangerous practice of removing warning lights from holes m the street or sidewalk to place on front porches. This has led to serious accidents causing death in the past. In Middlepoint, 0., the town board recently decreed the following: 1. The curfew bell will be rung at 9 p.m. beginning today, and applying to all school-age children. 2. October 28 has been proclaimed UNICEF night (It will be the 29th here, a Thursday night). On this night children of the village’s three churches will be soliciting for the United Nations children’s fund drive (Twelve Sunday schools will do it in Decatur). 3. Trick-or-treating will be permitted until 9 p.m. on October 29 or 30. (One of our readers has suggested that this be limited to just one night, so that people could have plenty of candy on hand). 4. The town marshal was given authority to hire any additional help needed. Cooperation of parents to keep the cost down, was requested. Halloween should be a time of fun and pleasure for everyone, with a few sudden frights, perhaps, but mostly just good, clean fun. Unfortunately, every year someone gets “carried away” and reverts to damage and meyhem rather than fun. In fact, someone is in serious trouble in Jay county —ls or 20 mail boxes have been knocked over. These are Federal protected, and the FBI investigates. It would certainly be terrible if some young person got into serious trouble, or prison, just because of a few thoughtless moments. responsible for the acts of their minor children —both morally nd financially. They should remember this when Halloween approaches, and remember also that they have full power to keep their children in after the state curfew hours of 10 p.m., in addition to their normal parental authority.
