Painful burns and even more tragic accidents are waiting to pounce on youngsters carrying candle-lighte- d pumpkins or dressed in flimsy, flammable costumes. National Fire Protection Association reports indicates the greatest hazard at Halloween is the clothing-fire- . The Hill AFB fire department offers these suggestions for helping to keep Halloween "a fun time" for the trick or treat set. Costumes should be labeled "Flameproof" if purchased ready-mador should undergo flameproofing treatment if made at home. Flameproofing treatment must be renewed each time a costume is washed or gets wet. Avoid costumes with flimsy fabric, loose flowing sleeves, voluminous skirts. Especially beware of the traditional billowing robes of ghosts and witches, made of worn sheets, which easily catch fire when whipped toward flames or sparks by the autumn wind. Costumes should be short enough so youngsters don't trip on them, and of light colors so the wearers will easily be seen by motorists. Use a flashlight never a lighted candle to illuminate a pumpkin. Keep children well away from bonfires, fireplaces, sparks and other sources of intense heat. It is wise to have an adult accompany younger children on their Halloween rounds of the neighborhood.
