"Trick" ends as "Treat ff Thanks to thoughtful area merchants, what could have been a "trick" ended as a "treat" for Beaver County elementary school children last Thursday, according to Sheriffs Deputy Beaver County Charles M. Johnson. In an effort to make the Halloween holiday safer, Deputy Johnson distributed special reflecting trlck-o- r -- treat bags to the school children, each containing a safety patch, a booklet for parents, and a candy treat provided through Sampling Corporation of America In cooperation with the National Safety Council. Arrangements for participation in the program were made early last spring. When the trlck-o- r -- treat bags arrived at the Sheriffs Office in early October, a large number of them were missing the candy treat. A call to the supplier brought only an apology.
