Harvest Day at The Home.

Thursday, Nov 3, is the day APP
pointed for our seventh annual har-
vest day at the Home. This custom
has become too well established and
has been too generously recognized
and remembered to need any explana-
ton or any further url,ng than the
mention of the appointed time. The
day has come to be an enjoyable one
both for the inmates and for the
guests, a pleasant social event as well
as time of gift giving. We hope to
see all the old faces and many new
ones. Don't forget the canned fruit
and the jellies. Mrs. Nash says the
napkins are all giving out. A set OF
dining chairs are needed, and for those
who find it more convenient, money,
in small or large amounts is just as
good and sometimes helps out greatly
on articles much needed and which no
one thinks to donate. All are cordially
welcome and will find Mrs. Ryder.
president of the visiting board. and
other ladies ready to receive and
show them about the house and serve
a nice cup of coffee. Remember the
date, Thursday, Nov. 3, all day and
evening.
