By ELAINE TOWNSHEND 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. 1 MR. AND MRS. MARK FLEMING .

GRAND BEND 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. MR.
