Show DESERET SAMPLER, Fri., October 18, 1968 Hallowed Evening - Candy Through The Ages Halloween Halloween means hallowed or holy evening because it comes the day before All Saints Day. The Church has celebrated .All Saints Day since the (KXIs, but not always on November 1. THE DRUIDS, who were priests who lived in Caul and Britain until shortly after the death of Christ, celebrated their autumn festival at this time of the year. They called the festival Samhain or Summer's End. It was an occasion for feasting on all the kinds of food which had lieen grown during the summer. The modern customs erf decorating for Halloween parties with pumpkins, leaves, and cornstalks comes from the Druids. The Druids also believed that on Halloween spirits, fairies, witches, and elves caine out to harm people. They built large bonfires to scare such creatures away. From the Druidic beliefs and customs comes the modem use of witches and ghosts in Halloween festivities. Today we still see the ghosts and witches on the eve of AH Saints Day. Children disguised as the goblins and demons of the past seek treats from their neighbors and threaten them with pranks. On the eve of. All Saints Day adults should take precautions to ensure the safety of the little goblins as they make their t. Some way from house to house demanding safety reminders for Halloween night should include: 1. Drive slowly and be especially careful on side streets. 2. BRIGHTEN THE way for the children by keeping your porch light burning. 3. Flameproof all decorations and costumes. 4. Protect the little ones - Ire sure they are accompanied by an adult or responsible older child. Have them stay in their own Trick-or-Trea- neighlrorhoods. TO MAKE THEIR childrens Halloween pleasant and safe, thoughtful parents should take proper precautions and give careful instructions to their children. 1. Children should lie alert to hazards such as lawn fumi-'tur- e, steps and excavations. 2. Masks may slip over a childs eyes and block his vision. Some may cause suffocation. 3. CHILDREN SHOULD not carry lighted candles or torches. Battery powered lights are safest. 4. A child should not be allowed to carry a knife or any sharp instrument. Toy weapons can be made of cardboard. 5. Use tight fitting clothing that will not catch on fences, bushes, etc. Avoid tripping hazards by keeping costumes short. 6. USE REFLECTIVE MATERIALS on the child's clothing and what he will carry. Use either tape or liquid; both are readily available. 7. Flameproof costumes by dipping into three quarts of warm water seven ounces of Wax and three ounces of boric acid. s 8. Use light colored material for costumes. Dull dark make the child hard to see. 9. Children should always stop, look and listen before crossstreet. the ing falv-ric- The DTC Deseret Sampler!
