Orphan Home Departure

Early on Friday morning, right aft
er school closing, all the inmates of
the Christian Orphan Home were
ready for their departure to the farm
home in West Park on the Hudson
some eighty miles distant.
bus owner and neighbor, in West
Park, kindly donated busses which
took about sixty of the children up
that way, then several automobiles
were offered to transport the very lit
tie ones. Ten of the older boys and
girls had been given money to spend
as they liked and they chose to take
the~boat up the river to their destina-
ton, so every one was beautifully
provided for, of all of the eighty-six
children besides the care takers.
The clothing, foods, etc, were sent
up on the big trucks, donated by the
Tietgen, Lang Company of Edge
water, who do this kindly act, an
nually.
Just before their departure, the
Home received lot of sneakers from
the Cliffside Park high school, most
timely for the country wanderings Of
the children, for out there, they for
the most part, run barefoot, wear out
their oldest clothes, and enjoy real
farm country time, helping the neigh
boring farmers when desired, and
these, in their turn give many big
donation of farm produce for the
Home tables, which diversity the plain
but wholesome fare.
Although the summer home proves
an economical measure, it is the de-
sire of Superintendent Nelson to sell
it now that they have Home on the
Palisades which can fulfill all the re-
quirements of an all year place, and
with the proceeds of the sale, to build
much needed addition to the Home
| which has more applications than it
can care for, at present, and this will
also save the tremendous amount of
, work necessary in having two homes
for such a big family.
