Trick or treat visits should be confined to the immediate neighborhood and limited to the residents of known neighbors. 3. Trick or treat visits should be made during daylight hours, if possible. 4. Householders should be encouraged to give and children to accept only wrapped candy or other treats. 5. Children should bring all treats home for inspection before eating. 6. Residents who wish to welcome trick or treaters should light the porch as a sign of their hospitality. 7. Children should call only at homes with porch or the outside Hurley, Salt Lake City; Mrs. R.
