Warn Parents About
Halloween Problems
• From ghoulies and ghosties
and long- leggety beasties and
things that go bump in the night,
Good Lord, deliver us."
s This Scottish prayer might well
be a child's prayer on Halloween
night. But while the ghoulies and
ghosties are probably just fellow
trick or treaters, there are some
precautions that should be taken
to insure a happy and healthy
Halloween for all according to
Oyster Bay Town Councilman
Joseph J. Saladino.
Saladino Urged parents to
check all treats before letting
children have them, and not to let
them eat any food or candy which
is opened or punctured. He
warned against letting
youngsters enter strange houses
and suggested that children
travel in two's and three's rather
than alone and carry a flashlight
to light their way as well as make
them more visible. He added that
trick or treaters should follow a
route that avoids street crossings
and that parents should ac­company
younger children
during their Halloween travels.
Youth
Of Murder
Edwin Fuller, 22, of Central
Islip was found guilty this week in
Nassau County Court for the
killing of 16 year old gas station
attendant Thomas Moran of
Bethpage at a Farmingdale
station last Feb. 18.
Sentencing was set for Nov. 19
by Judge Raymond Harrinton.
Fuller is one of three charged
with the killing. He faces a
maximum 25 years to life sen­tence
on the second degree
murder charge alone. He was
also found guilty by the jury of
manslaughter in the first degree
and three counts of robbery in the
first degree.
Fuller and two other youths
were arrested March 28 for the
robbery- slaying at The South
Farmingdale Gas Value station
at Main St. and Motoi Ave. Police
traced a .38 caliber revolver
found in Hempstead on March 19,
and used in the slaying to the
three youths.
The other two defendants are
Donald Evans, 17, and Gary
Thompson, 20, both of 32 State
Ave., Wyandanch. Evans' trail on
similar charges is to begin Nov.
19 with Thompson's to begin after
Evans' is completed.
Costumes should be selected to
give the child maximum
mobility. Light colors are
preferable and store- bought
costumes should be checked to m n « ^ i | i
see that they are fire- retardant. I u r n B a C K LIOCK
Masks should have large holes
for the eyes to permit unob­structed
vision and should not
block the mouth or nose.
" The Town receives a few
letters each year asking that we
ban trick or treating in the Town
because of the inherent
dangers," Saladino commented.
" We feel it would be unfair to
eliminate this traditional
children's holiday, but urge
parents to observe a few safety
measures that will enhance
everyone's enjoyment of
HaHoween."
At 2 p. m. Sunday morning we
will officially return to Standard
Time, so we can officially
welcome Halloween and the
return to the regular time
schedule on the same day.
As far as our clocks are con­cerned,
since most of us won't be
waiting up until 2 a. m. for the
sake of being " official" it would
be wise to remember to turn the
hands BACK one hour before
going to bed. The hour's sleep we
lost last spring we can now
regain.
Also on the ballot is a
proposition to allow the operation
of " Las Vegas Nights" in the
Town of Oyster Bay by clubs a
charitable organizations.
The " main event," of course, is
the race for President of the
United States and Vice
President. The incumbent

running mate Senator Robert
Dole face the challenge of former
Georgia Governor Jimmy Carter

the Democratic and Liberal
lines.
Republican- Conservative U. S.
Senator James L. Buckley will
face Democrat- Liberal Daniel P.
Moynihan for New York State's
seat in the U. S. Senate.
Also to be selected are six
Justices of the Supreme Court,
two County Court Judges and
three District Court Judges.

W. McConnell is seeking re­election
on the Republican and
Conservative lines and faces
Democrat Anthony D. Galluccio
