HighUdy Re-rOuting
Considered AGAIN

State highway department officials
last week believed that a way had
been found to acquire land needed for
the re-routing of State Highway 65
thru Putnam county, according to in
formation released in Ottawa.
Suggested improvement of the
highway would shorten the Lima-To-
ledo route thru Putnam county and
provide a modern hazard-free road
way.
Under consideration for nearly two
years, the proposal struck snag sew
eral months ago when four affected
illages-Ottawa, Columbus Grove,
Leipsic and Belmore, informed the
state they would be unable to pay for
65 per cent of the cost of right of
way thru the municipalities.
In letter last week to mayors of
the four towns, G.. E. Strauss, right
of-way engineer of the highway de-
partment, explained that the attorney
general has ruled that it will be legal
for the villages to pay as much of the
estimated cost as they can at present.
The remainder can be paid in annual
installments over the next two-year
period.
In about two weeks Strauss plans
to meet with each of the village couns
ellis and urge them to enter into a
contract with the highway department
under the terms approved by the at
toreny general.

Bluffton Youngsters Already
Beginning Preparations for
Occasion
Form of Festive Occasion has
Changed but Spirit Still
Remains Same

Bluffton youngsters are already be-
ginning to celebrate the traditional
festivities marked by the return of
the spirits to the mortal sphere to be
climaxed October 81, Halloween
night.
The usual round of masquerading
and pranks is already in full sway.
With numerous parties scheduled for
the celebration a festive air is mark
ing the season.
Strictly speaking Halloween is not
a holiday as it begins after sundown
and that time of the day is generally
a free period for most people regard
less of Halloween.
Spirits Prevail
Tradition has it that on Halloween
night supernatural spirits prevail and
children born on this day are suppos-
ed to have power to converse with the
airy visitors.
Celebration of Halloween dates
back hundreds of years. Because the
name as shortened from All Hallow's
Eve, or the Eve of All Saints, many
people think that the celebration was
originally a church festival, but this
is not the case.
History records that in England
long before the Christian period, there
was a custom of lighting bonfres on
the hilltops, on the last evening in
October, to ward off the evil spirits.
In those days of superstition one of
the widespread beliefs was that on
Halloween night the spirits of the
dead were allowed to return to visit
their homes and their friends.
Ward OFF Witches
Consequently on Halloween night
great fires were kindled on the hills
and men could be seen standing in

circles, waving aloft on pitchforks
wisps of blazing straw for the purpose
of warding off the attack of the
witches.
throughout various countries in
Europe Halloween is a time when
ones future spouse may be determin-
ed. Among the numerous ways sug-
gested was for a maiden to peel an
apple taking the pairing by one end
in her finger, swing it three times
about her head and then letting it
drop. The pairing thus dropped will
surely fall in the shape of the initial
of his name and the maiden thus will
at least know with what letter the
name of her future husband starts.
Origin
For the origin of the name Hallow-
cen it is necessary to go back to
ancient Rome. In 610 A. D. the
Pope ordained that the old Roman
temple called Pantheon should be con-
verted into a Christian church. The
festival was held on November and it
became associated with the great har-
vest feast. 1t was called Haligan or
all Hallows Eve which was soon
shortened to Halloween.
That superstitions died hard is well
demonstrated in the practices current
in the community of Bluffton. Al
though the belief in wiches has passed
out of the picture, much of the lore is
passed on from generation to genera
ton.
Tradition Strong
Children in Bluffton still make Jack
o'Lanterns out of pumpkins; they still
stalk through alleys on dark nights;
they still like to dress in fantastic cos
tunes; they still use tictac on win
dows; they still scare reidents with
ugly heads peering into windows;
they still build fires from raked
leaves; they still engage in minor
pranks; they still decorate their party
gatherings with corn stalks.
Summed up it can be said that the
spirit of the original celebration has
motivated and thrilled children for
hundreds of years and continues to
thrill them in Bluffton in October in
the year 1941.
