ORPHANS NOT DESIRED
WEALTHY RESIDENTS OF TARRY-
TOWN DO NOT WISH INSTITU-
TION NEAR THEIR HOMES.

Wealthy residents of Tarrytown on
the Hudson are seeking to prevent
the St. Vincent de Paul Society of
New York from erecting a new or
phan asylum on the Archbold estate,
which was recently purchased for
$85,000. The estate is one of the fin
est in Tarrytown. AS soon as the in
tention of the Society became known,
the millionaire colony prevailed up
on the Board of Trustees of the town
to adopt an ordinance to prevent the
erection of the building. An effort
made by the Society TO have the or
dinance declared Illegal by the SUI
preme Court proved unsuccessful.
TheScontest has been a bitter one, and
the religious issue has been injected.
The building is intended to replace
the present asylum in the congested
section of New York, in which one
hundred and fifty orphans are being
cared for.

The Knights of Columbus whenever
called upon for any aid responded

social worker of the Homecroft center.
Without appearing to lead, her sug-
gestions have harmonized conflicting
elements, and led the community to-
ward the solution of it's own problems.

as we'll as the children to understand
