Thanksgiving Cheer at Institutions
County Home and Rock Nook Children Delighted With Fur key Dinners Service Conducted at the Shelter ing Arms by Rev Henry T. Arnold-staf at Tubercr- osis Sanaorium Gave Play for the Patients Dinner for Those at the State Hosptal-How the Day Was Observed Elsewhere.

A1thought the storm king did his best to mar the pleasures of everybody on Thanksgiving. yet he did not in the least dampen the spirits of the bright eyed and lively boys and girls at the Rock Nook Home and New London County Home. No, indeed, it was a day of days for them and will long be remembered. While the rain poured and stray drops hurrying downward from the clouds that hid Old Sol from view, spattered against the window pane, the children inside the big com .fortable buildings eagerly. but pa- tiently awaited the call to dinner. for well they knew that the cooks in the kitchens were keeping close guard over large, juicy turkeys sizzling in the Not ovens. And then-well, we'll let the children tell about it themselves, for The Bulletin received number of nicely written letters from them early Thanksgiving night, so nicely writ ten that we're going to publish them. Here they are: Letters from the County Home.
