 cInLDHEN's HOME
 The 67 children at the Windham County Temporary Home fared es- peeially well this year, in fact, much better than most children living under more fortunate conditions, for they saw and participated In the fruits of three different trees. A of the week the holiday spirit surrounded the Home and the inmates were oubbling over with joility and were impatient for the arrival of the great day.
 The realization began early Friday afternoon. Miss White, leather in the Sawyer district, had pretlily deeorat ed tree and each child received a pres ent. There were also appropriate ex- ercises.
 Saturday evening the children were all taken to Thompson and participat- ed in the Baptist church Christmas celebration In the Town hall. They were all remembered, receiving candy and presents from heAvily-laden tree. Then on Christmas day they had their own tree at the Home. MT. and Mrs. Thatcher entered into the spirit with the children and helped them to enjoy the day. A fine chicken dinner was served with many special deica- cies. Then a beautiful Christmas tree loade1 down with all sorts of things that later found their way to the hands of the 67 delighted little ones who will long remember this Christmas. The children spoke pieces and sang songs all the afternoon,
 Among those who helped to make the day a success, besides those already mentioned, were Mrs. N. E. Ream, who sent 75 pounds of candy and 75 oranges; Mrs. George E. Dresser, who sent 40 pounds of candy; Mrs. Thomp- son Of Pomfret, who sent candy, and Rev. John Van den Noort, Putnam candy and oranges, and others.

The Woman~ Board sent remembrances and greens that were used for decofa- tlons. Mrs. Conrtland Hoppin of Pomffet sent in flowers which were greatly appreciated, An excellent Christmas dinner was partaken of by all able to enjoy 1t.

the organization and the work or the
American and The Italian Scouts are
essentially the same.
Sir Francis Nane, an Englishman
who resides much of the time in sun
ny Italy, is the originator of the
Young Knights. Sir Francis was ac-
tive in the scout movement in Eng
land. but as he could not conscien-
tiously support the more warlike
proganda which some officials tried 10
inject into the movement, he with.
drew from the Baden Powell branch
and formed the Peace Scouts.
One day in Italy he met a school,
master who was training his young
students in various crude drills. But
the boys were round shouldered and
seemed to derive little benefit from
the exercises. He secured permission
TO take charge of the youngsters and
in short time had formed the first
Italian patrol of Young Knights. He
then visited the priests OF the neigh
borhood. and various officials. and Sc
cured cooperation until now there are
numerous patrols. The king OF Italy
has given the movement his support
and announcement by reviewing the
first patrol while the boys went
through their various ambulance and
signal drills, and displayed their gen
era scout craft.
