Of course, costume parties are already underway. We spotted; a little boy the other day in the supermarket who was all decked out as a jailbird with appropriate" striped suit and cap. He looked like he couldn't wait to 'break out' in Halloween garb. • • • Other dates on the October calendar: Boss's Day was yesterday; United Nations Day is a week from today, October 24; and Mother-In-Law's Day is October 28. All Mothers-In-Law stand up to be counted. Coming up in November is Election Day, November '6. a . - * * * As October starts to wind down, we look for pumpkins and cornstalks decorating lawns and doorways, always a colorftd sight.
