MANY DONATIONS ID
 CHILDREN'S HOME
Hospital Also Generously Remem-
 bered at Thanksgiving

1nankSSlNlnS Lay, was q thanks giving-da indeed at the hospital and Children's home. This was demon strated by the generous contributions that flowed into the pantries and bins of the hospital and Children's home during the week previous to Thanksgiving. Rooms in the Chil- dren's home were filled with jellies, vegetables, canned goods and goodies" prized by children, and the hospital was bountifully remem- bered.
 AS an innovation the Woman's Hospital board and home economies bureau joined forces solicitors for donations this year, thus increasing the staff of workers and number of gifts. Mrs. M. K. Pasco, chairman of home economies bureau suggested that her committee collect only can ned vegetables and canned fruit, the collection to be divided between the two institutions. As a result, nine dozen cans or jars of vegetables and fruits were received at the hospital and nine dozen at the Children's home through the efforts of the home economics bureau.
