l ltng with anticipation, the children at the New London county home or Smith avenue and the Rock Nook cfil dren's home in Norwich Town eagerl, awaited the call to dinner Thanksgiv- ing. Once again through the geueros- | ity of Manager William H. oat of Ths 1 Bulletin the children's hearts were gladdened. for carrying out it's annual custom inaugurated 16 years ago. The | Bulletin company provided prize tur- keys, the largest and best native grown that could be secured, to grace ] the tables at both institutions. Ii little ones that crowded around the heavily laden tables, and after the blessing deiicacies of all kinds pro- ceeded to vanish With astonishing -apidity. h-- ;,s ~- ss~7--- 1 To say the children were delighted | would be putting it, mildly. A few minutes before o'clock Thanksgiving afternoon two. little girls from the | Rock Nook home appeared in The Bulletin editorial rooms and the eldest shyly inquired for The Bulletin Man ] we've come to thank him for the | turkey she said. and then: Here are some letters from the other chill dren." These are the. carefully written notes she left with the man at the Bulletin Odice: Dear Sirs: We all thank you for the nice turkey you gave us. It was very nice. For dinner we had turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy. turnips, cran- berry jelly, celery, onions and three kinds of pie for dessert. Later on Re are going to have apples and grapes. and maybe something else. ~ SIGMA CARLSON.
