 FOR CHILDREN.s DINNER

In the school diet kietchen in New Lon don, which is situated on the first floor of the old Jennings school, adjoining the clinic, a Thanksgiving dinner will be served to fifty school children, Who for one reason or another would have no Thanksgiving elsewhere and the man. agers feel gsteful to H. C. Watson of Sprague who makes it possible through his donation of apples, potatoes, turnips and onions, sufficient to fill the dummies of fifty hungry little ones. The Service League of Connecticut College furnish the meat on the menu, while the Elks, from their premises next door, will loan dishes to set the long table, and several girls in Williams Memorial Institute furnish cake, while a number of women in synp- athy with the cause. will appear in the kitchen armed with rolling pins, and ready for the big fray-pies.
 To say that the diet kitchen is a sue cess and just one more big step toward making New London bright spot on the map, is enough for the present.

FOX HUNTERS AFTER BIG GAME TODAY

Sections of the Oxoboxo territory, Wauwecus Hill Bozrah and Plain Hill will resound with the music of over a score of foxhounds from o'clock on this (Thursday) morning when probably fifty hunters with their dogs will begin the annual Thanksgiving fox hunt.
 This year the plan that is to be follow cd is a little different than in former years as the hunters are to take cer- tain territory for each party instead of assembling all at one point for the start of the hunt as has been done in other years. Automobile parties will convey the hunters to the starting points, but there will be no general roundup or dinner afterwards to talk over the events of the day. It has been decided to give up this feature because of its interference with family reunions, but later in the season a dinner will be held for all the hunt ters and their friends who get into the hunt today.
