Whatever happened to the
basic Halloween witch with
the black pointed cardboard
hat, the dust mop hair and
the black cape dragging on
the ground?
Where are all the ghosts
with plain white sheets over
their heads and holes cut out
for eyes, noses anctmouths?
Where are the hobos with
the patches on their jeans,
and tattered jackets and, the
sticks and bundled up
bandanas slung over their
shoulders?
Since I'm not a parent and
it was many years ago that I
dressed up in a Halloween
costume, maybe someone
can clear up the mystery for
me.
What I can remember
most about Halloween when
I was a kid was a bunch of
characters parading around
a large school room. All wore
homemade costumes, and
each wanted to win the
Odd 'n ends
Where's the witch?
prizes handed out by the
teacher.
The prize for the loveliest
costume usually went to the
bride, princess, Snow White
or Cinderella. The award for
the funniest outfit was given
to a clown. The pirate or
monster was often named
the scariest get-up, unless
the witch walked away with
the prize.
Disappointed losers took
consolation in dunking for
apples: a few almost
drowned but it was still fun.
Another game might have
Old MacDonald and a gypsy
with their hands tied behind
their backs truing to bite an
elusive apple dangling
on a string. •
As soon as darkness fell, a
bunch of weird characters
piled into a parent's car to
roam the neighbourhood or
invade the nearest town.
My favourite disguise was
a witch, mainly because my
mother had an old black
cape belonging to her aunt
or great aunt packed away.
The cape has sequins around
the bottom and a pinkish
purple liking. Every year we
dragged out the cape, and
every year it had a few less
sequins and a few more
holes.

CLOTHING (2,
47 MAIN ST., GRAND BEND 238-235
When the cape ,1ijially
succumbed to the moths, I
became a tramp with pat-
ches on a pair of my old
slacks and Dad's 1949 fedora
on my head. -
Enough of - this
reminiscing' My original
question was what has
happened to the simple
ghosts, witches and hobos of
yesteryear? Are they still
around?
In recent years when I
open the door on Halloween,
I'm staring into the jaws of a
• shark. Occasionally ,I come
face to face with Gene
Simmons. (For the
uninitiated Gene Simmons is
a member of the rock group
Kiss.) I might meet Luke
Skywalker or Princess Aleah
of Star Wars fame or even a
human R2D2.
The ' costumes look
authentic; they must be store
bought. What happened to
the improvise -and -wear -
what -you've -got era?
.Last week I heard on the
radio a store advertising a
sale of special material for
Halloween costumes -tra-
ditional colours of orange
and black for witches as well
as colourful prints for
clowns.
I wonder if kids have more
fun on Halloween now in
their store-bought or
specially -made costumes
than my friends and I had in
our makeshift ones.
The new outfits have some
important innovations, I
must admit. For example.
light colours and reflective
tape are used to help
motorists spot- . small
pedestrians in the night. The
hot plastic masks. in. -many
cases, have been replaced by
make-up, which may be hard
to remove but certainly
gives better vision.
Now, if we could just find a
cure for the few sick people
who enjoy spoiling the fun of
the young trick -or -treaters,
we could truly say we have
progressed.
