Mr. Douglas Mann, acting as spokesman for the group told the city council dangers exist for students crossing 400 east from the Lomond View and ranchettes area and also for studetc crossing 2850 N He auo out students walking along Pleasant View Drive face problems from the canal and from the snow in the winter. He said students who walk up Pleasant View Drive walk along a pathway and just to the south of that path is the canal. He said that during the winter snow is piled so high along the road that students must walk down the middle of the road. Mr. Mann said the group has received cooperation from the city and Police Chief Earl Carroll as well as the PTA. He said this would mean that crosswalks would be painted along 400 E. and that signs would be posted along Pleasant View Drive as well as printed on the blacktop. He added that Chief Carroll would provide crossing guards whenever possible, but Mr. Mann said he realized the police will be a familiar sight this Saturday to observe safety measures to cautioned are Parents night. make sure this Halloween is a happy one for their children. THIS JACK-O-LANTER- N could not .always be here because they were needed elsewhere. He said the group and the PTA handle it. Another concern expressed by he group was the area around Grannys restaurant, that being I 400 E. and 2650 N., parents stated that cars were constantly pulling in and out of the restaurant. There are also a number of big unj trucks O" the road blocking the view oi drivers. Mrs. Gerald Johnson said she had become concerned about the situation because she had pulled out one day, pot knowing that a child was about to dart into the roadway. She said she ticked the child, but when she stopped, the child seemed to be all right. Mrs. John son did say the episode had frightened her , though. The problem at 2850 N. and 400 E. involves the fact that motorists do not stop at the sign on that corner, or if they do stop, it is seldom behind the line. Mr. A. Parley Bates, of 410 E. 2850 N. stated he saw this everyday. He said tht he had nearly been hit himself because cars speed down that street. One lady said the problem also exists in that area of the church and it created problems on Primary day. She said she had grabbed youngsters out of the roadway herself. The group presented the council with a petition that pedestrian Precautions insure s ate, tun Halloween NORTH OGDEN Next Saturday night the streets will be filled with spooks and goblins of all shapes and sizes. However, there are dangers lurking in the night for those gathering goodies the witching night. Both parents and children need to be made aware of possible dangers this Halloween so everyone can have a safe, fun evening, according to North Ogden Police Chief Earl Carroll. He said every year children are hurt, mostly due to auto accidents in North Ogden, however, there is always the danger of a child receiving candy, or candy poisoned which has been tampered with in some way. Before the big night, parents should sit down with their youngsters to thoroughly, explain the dangers trick or treating can bring as well as on ways to avoid problems. Children should be warned of the high risks involved in crossing streets. Ihey may careless in their excitement and dart in front of an approaching auto. Also, drivers should be warned to drive carefully on Halloween at a slower speed. Many children are trick or treating at dusk which is the poorest visability time become s. Warn your child to cross the street at the corner, looking both ways before crossing, not crossing the street between two parked cars and staying on the sidewalk whenever possible. They should also be warned not to eat candy until it has been brought home for inspection. In inspecting the treats, paren- ts should discard any unpackaged items such as popcorn or small candies. Those candies with loose wrappings should also be discarded and all fruits should be cut into small pieces to make sure nothing has been placed inside. Chief Carroll said if anything is discovered wrong with the treats, report it to the police immediately. He added a good idea for those who wish to give loose candy or homemade candy would be to wrap the treats and even have your name on the package so parents will know where it came from. In picking out an appropriate costumes, parents should make sure the costume fits well, the shoes are comfortable and also be everyday shoes (not costume shoes). The costume should be bright, white or flourescent and parents should see that toy weapons are made of cardboard so as to prevent injuries. Parents should also be warned against d letting the child have an open-flame- jack-o-lanter- n. Parents should be aware of where the child will be going, what companions will be joining in the fun, what supervision is provided for the group and what time the child intends on returning home. Children should go out in groups, Chief Carroll said. He added groups of three or four crosswalks be placed at 2650 N. and 400 E . and also at 2850 N and 400 E. They also asked for crossing guards and that parking be restricted alongside the Bicentennial Memorial Park for better visability. Also on the petition was a request for a paved walkway on Pleasant View Drive between 200 E. and 400 E. or that bus service be extended to the students involved. Mayor Eldon McColley said Ult Clljf o frf busing and told the group that would have to be taken up with the school district. He said as far as the crosswalks were concerned, there were problems all the way along 400 E. He said two things . could be done, one would be to put in pedestrian lines and the other woul be the use of school crossing signs. To a question concerning the lowering of speed limits in the area, Chief Carroll said mostf of the speeding violations al-ready came from that area as the speed limit was recently low! ered to 30 miles per hour. He said there could be difficulties in making tickets stick if they were r challenged in that area. He said it cost around $500 for the flashing type of crossing markers, but he said there did not have to be an ordinancee passed to use the flasher as there did if the speed were lowered for school hours. Mayor McColley told the group the city was operating on a budget and he stated the flashing crosswalk signs would be cheaper than crdksing guards. He suggested that the parents get together with Chief Carroll, Van Councilman Brent Wagoner, in charge of public safety, and the PTA officers and come back with some recommendations. Chief Carroll said he thought the parents should educate their children to walk in the painted lines and teach them what routes to take in getting to school. He said presently there is a on 2650 N. but the youngsters walk on the other are best. sidewalk Homeowners can make the night easier and more fun too, Chief Carroll said, if they leave lights on, keep the sidewalks unobstructed and dont invite children in, but instead greet them at the door with a tray of goodies. side. He said he has warned the students over his P.A. system, but as soon as he turns his back they leave the sidewalk again. Mayor McColley said with So have a safe, fun Halloween.
