annual DINNER OF
HERALD NEWSbOYS
Between 200 and 300 Expected as
Guests at Turkey Banquet Monday

Between $50 and 800 "newsies"
who sell or deliver the Herald" In
this city, Berlin, Plainyille, East Ber-
lin. Beckley, Newington and other
sections of greater New Britain will
assemble at the Hotel Beloin at q
o'clock Monday afternoon as the
guests Of the Herald publishing Co.,
the event being the annual turkey
dinner given the newsboys by this
company. Mine Host Delaney has
made, among other New Year resolu-
lions, one which runs something like
this: II hereby resolve that the
Herald newsboys will have the finest
dinner that man has ever put tooth
into" The writer saw Mr.. Delaney
standing in front of mirror prac-
ticing the resolution and knows, by
his determined appearance, that he
intends to do just what he said.
OF course there will be turkey.
What newsboys' dinner was ever COM
plete without the great American
bird on the table? Some of the
"newsies' insist that there isn't any
such animal as bird" but they are
very familiar with another word
which resembles it slightly and which
is pronounced bold" with strong
Bronx accent on the "oi." So wheth-
err it's bird" or bold" 1t ought to
make a hit AS one newsboy ex-
pressed it: "A toikey by any other
name tastes just as good

dinner on New Years day was es-
tablished by the late Robert j. Vance,
founder of the Herald" Nothing
pleased Mr.. Vance more than to see
youngsters happy and he hit upon
the idea of getting them together at
least once a year and filling their
stomachs as high as the larynx. If
it is true that the way to mans
heart is through his stomach, why
doesn't the same rule apply to news
boys, who are simply men in embryo.
The boys were grateful for Mr..
Vance's thoughtfulness and the New
Years dinner became an annual af-
fair. 1t has continued for year after
wear, The handful of boys and girls
has grown so that the attendance Is
now usually well over ESQ. Special
tables will be set for the "newsettes'
because it is felt that their presence
with the boys might cause said boys
no end of embarrassment. Also, when
girls are hit behind the ear with an
orange they can't take it with grin
like any of the "fellers," so here is
an added reason why they should be
placed by themselves in a safety zone.
In addition to turkey there will be
the usual "fixin's" and oranges and
candy and nuts and pie m every
| thin.
After the dinner the newsboys and
girls will deliver the Herald" which
will be published as usual.
