Letter: Don't Throw Candy From Parade Floats and Cars

Susan Thielen writes that people throwing candy out of cars during parades is dangerous for children.

To the editor:

As I was watching the parade today I saw something that I have seen in past Melrose Parades and have always disliked. People throw candy out of the cars or while they are walking by.

This should never be allowed EVER!. This causes children to run out into the street to catch the candy. It runs the risk of a child being struck by a car. People should know better than to do that. AMEN!
