Origin Of Halloween.

Halloween is q relic OF pagan
times. In England the influence
of Druidical ceremonies Is evi-
denced in the ancient Halloween
fires. Certain Of the customs which
used to prevail in England were
survivals Of the festival Of Pomona,
the goddess Of fruit. Halloween IL
called by this name because the
festival falls on the evening Of
October 81, which IL the eve Of
the vigil Of All Hallows. the fes-
tival OF All Saints; this falls on
November /.

QUA DEPENDENT cu,LpREN

OOa,O8p 8NOeNT CHILDREN
Our attention has been called many
times to the fact of the problem OF
coping with the situation of our de.
pendent children. Something should
be done In this regard.
During the past month the officials
of Delta county have had to deal with
several groups of children who were
accused Of dependency. In almost
every instance. perhaps, the accused
were technically guilty, but through
no fault of the children. In some
cases the mother had died, leaving
the father the sole caretaker Of the
home-and what is a home without a
mother. especially to small children? ?
There is but one place to send child
rem and that is to the state home. The
home at Denver is undoubtedly main
tanned on the highest possible stand
ard. but the parent cannot afford to
go to Denver to see his children ow-
ing to the great expense.
We believe home could be establ-
lished right here in Delta where
children could be cared for on high
er plane and be within the reach Of
their parent or parents; that the up
keep would be small as much of our
charity work pointed in this direct
ion.

highway good ones. tod. Our Main
street through town is heavily
travelled. Too much SO to be left
without some permanent road CON
struction. Gravel surfacing is toe
dangerous to plate glass windows
through the business section. Paving
the entire way at this time is out OF
the question, 1t seems. The water
main 10 in the way as we'll as other
obstacles
But If a majority of those who
signed the graveling petition would
favor this plan, we are quite conf
dent that a majority of those who
looked with disfavor upon the i'm
provement district, would agree to the
following plan:
From First street on the north to
the Rio Grande Ice House. on the
south, for 20 or "a feet wide. a per-
manent road base should be con-
structed, of concrete and asphalt COW
ering, or whatever other permanent
construction may be agreed upon.
The way the matter stands, 1t looks
futile to try to carry out the original
program of a graveling district.
This proposed construction will be
permanent; it will last. aside from a
very small upkeep.. Roughly speaking,
the total cost would be in the neigh
borhood of $4,000. This could be
paid within the next two or three
years. From then on, additional paw
ing could be added annually or as
might be determined from time to
time. This would give us permanent
start. Nothing would prevent in the
future from extending the paving from
curb to curb in the business blocks.
1t would solve our heavy through town
traffic in lasting manner.
II work were Immediately started in
this direction by petitioning our city
officials. and cooperating with them,
the legal procedure could be complet-
ed in time to have the work put in be-
fore fall.
Think 1t over!
If you have some better plan, let's
have 1t.
If you look with disfavor on this,
call in anyway, and let's talk it over.

WHAT SHALL WE DOT

Since the decision handed down BY
the supreme court two weeks age
which stopped all work in the gravel
ing district several meetings have
been held with committees from the
parties which represented a different
view in the matter. To date there
has been nothing definite accom-
plished, it is understood.
We believe there is too much vari
ance Of opinion in this matter for the
factions to agree or to be able to &c
ahead in this matter this year.
The Independent believes there was
right upon both sides in this matter
Every man, woman or child in this
world is entitled to his own individual
view, belief or Interpretation of any
public matter presented. We respect
one who has an individual opinion,
whether we agree with it or not. In
this matter of graveling some favored
it and some did not. Investigation,
from an unbiased standpoint reveals
the fact that there were two sides to
this question, each firmly believing
tn the right. Whichever side you are
on. you are entitled to be considered
in your view.
But differences like the problem we
are facing will never accomplish any
thing. The countryside. good sincere
people. too; are becoming impatient
with US. They have signified will
mgness to come down to Delta and
donate sufficient work with men and
oeams to fix up our streets. They
have called this office and registered
complaints. People from Montrose
and Grand Junction give out state
Aents about the way we keep up
our streets-and especially the main
thoroughfare through Delta. Many of
our readers know full well these con-
ditions. They are helpless and so
ere we, but there should be some way,
and there is way, we believe. The
people Of Delta can be united in this
matter.
On either side of us we have a state
