Getting them identified identi-fied has been more than a two-year two-year task. I have pestered this oldtimer and that early settler until I could see resentment in their attitudes. Eyesight plays tricks on folk old enough to have been adults in the early nineteen twenties and no one wants to ad' mit it. Yet, when Mary Henne took a picture of the small original snapshot snap-shot and then made a giant enlargement en-largement of it, I couldn't help but run the wheels off our car until I chased down small leads to final success. I This is the only picture I own j which shows sharp and clear, the ,' old grandstand and judging stand in the background. These two j structures were part of the old I Delta racetrack located on the land where Delta High School now stands. ; All the contacts I first made summed up the same advice: "Go see Jack or Ab Reid and there's a Ray Cox on there, too." My sleuthing led to Jack Reid's this December 1969 but Jack laughed at me for thinking he was old enough to be that' grown-up round about 1922 or 1924. Still, When I talked to Mick Roberts about old sugar factory times, Orlin Or-lin came back with opinions expressed ex-pressed by other Early-Deltans who had said: "That one is a Reid. Go see Ab. That guy on the front row is Harry Aller whose Dad was once station agent and Harry him- bervicemen . . . Dear Auxiliary: My wife and I certainly wish to thank you for the package of home made goodies that we received. I still consider Delta my home even though we moved from there several sever-al years ago. I certainly hope that! an my ienow servicemen arrive home safe and sound from Viet Nam. I have rather enjoyed my hitch thus far as I'm working in electronics, my chosen field. Best regards to everyone. Gary Wiley (Texas) Dear Ladies: I would like to thank the American Ameri-can Legion Auxiliary on behalf of all the servicemen in Vietnam and overseas for the cans of treats sent to us for Christmas. Sincerely, Gaylen Walker (Vietnam) From overseas comes the following follow-ing from Capt David S. Moulton, former area resident Dear Legion Auxiliary: Thank you so much for that big package of cookies and other goodies. It was truly appreciated. And was made very special by the fact that it came from Delta and was a reminder of how wonderful the people in my home town are. Thank you again and may you all have the happiest holiday season ever. Sincerely, Stan Moulton (Vietnam) THE PEOPLE OF DELTA AND THE GREAT PAHVANT Thursday, January 1, 1970, Delta, self was a station agent for a while later." Orlin remembered seeing that particular ball team when he was a very small boy and knew it was the time when the sugar factory was running. "So many people were here then, who did not stay here after the factory quit and was torn down." According to Orlin, Utah Idaho Sugar Company spon - sored one such winning baseoan team. Norman and Verna Gardner took some good looks at pictures about the same time and besides identi- fying their own parents and rela- tives in group pictures, started the baseball team identifications by pointing to Harry Aller with the comment, "That guy right there with his red curly hair showing under his cap was Harry Aller and mat one on me ieit on xne irom row has to be a Reid."

Or is it still around? In our opinion, it's very much around and is manifested in small I things, such as, Mr. Al Kienke, Salt Lake City, trying to locate the owner of a pair of expensive calfskin calf-skin gloves left in his car Dec. 29 by a young serviceman from the west Millard area. He has made several calls to persons of the area who have sons in service trying to return the gloves. He had stopped to give the young man a lift at 33 South on the freeway to get a special jack to change a tire and returned him to his car. The serviceman left his gloves in Mr. Kienke's car while they were riding. serviceman is 5 ft 10 in. in height' with light colored hair.

Richard P. Lindsay, Director of the Utah Division of Family Services Ser-vices told the committee that this nged derives largey from Work Incentive Program for mothers on e assistance which becomes effective July 1st in all counties of Utah. It is expected that 60 to 75 percent of the 2,050 participants in the program will be mothers receiving re-ceiving public assistance who have children of pre-school age. "If these women are to benefit from educational and training programs designed to help them become self supporting and move from welfare rolls, suitable places for the education edu-cation and care of their pre-school children must be provided." Presently, the total child care capacity in the State is 4,440. There are 82 licensed Group Day Care Centers in Utah which take seven or more children, usually for eight hours a day. These centers have a capacity of 3,400 children. The Family Day Care Homes are licensed to take less than seven children, usually the very young, children needing more individual attention, brothers and sisters who should not be separated, or children chil-dren in small communities where it is not practical to establish a group day care center. The capacity capa-city of these 227 homes is 1,040 children. Stewart C. Smith, ACSW, Child Care Specialist for the Division, said that "Parents from all socioeconomic socio-economic classes use these homes and centers." He stressed the need for adequate staffing ratios for such centers to provide education (Continued on back page) MR.
