NEWS Or WEEK FROM WEST GREEN AND COMMUNITY THE MEANING OF HALLOWEEN Hallowe'en whcih brings us visions of fun, is an old, old festival. The old Romans held it about the first oi November, in honor “Pomona,’’ the goddess of fruit trees. The Druids in Britian, also held a festival about the same time in honor of the sun God and in thanksgiving for harvest, the two festivals seems to have be come one in the minds of the peo ple. But why witches and ghosts on the night of October 31st. When the people became Christians the early church fathers allowed them to hold this feast in commemoration of the dead. The day of the festival was known as all “Saint’s Day” and the evening before “All Hallowe’en”, this namej coming from old English word “Hal-j we”, meaning holy. So the people became very super-; stitious, believing that on this night | of all year, the spirits of the deadj were allowed to visit their old hoirtes. In many parts of the country food was left around, the hearths swept and chairs set in order before the of the village went to sleep. In certain countries this day was considered especially favorable for answering questions regarding sweet hearts, marrige and luck *in general. That is why our “Hallowe’en” is a combination of the idea of ghosts and their appearance together with for tune telling, chances in love and every thing associated with the paring of sweethearts. We may not believe in spirits re turning to earth but at least once a year, we may be glad to make their acquaintance in shape of favors, novelties and food for the “Hallow’- en party.” Miss Ethel Boyd of Fitzgerald, was the attractive week end guest of her mother, Mrs. N.
