This brings us to a matter that w
would like to present to you for you
help. The boys have a splendid recre
tation room, but with no equipment il
it at all to add any diversion. We aIt
very anxious to have some equipmen
in this room. have been making
some inquiries as to the proper kline
of equipment and will turn the infOr
nation over to the Board of Lady Visi
tors soon.
We are very glad to know that there
is a movement on foot to provide the
Colony with a motion picture machine
We believe that a picture machine will
go a long ways toward solving our pro
blem of entertainment. Many Of the
children, previous to their coming
here. have Bsen generously treated to
the movies by their parents and they
miss this form of recreation here and
are constantly asking us to take them
to the movies. The movement for OBJ
tanning the machine is being sponsor
ed by the Georgetown New Century
Club, under the direction of Mrs.
Edward Sudler, the club president.
"I would like at this time to ack-
nowledge the following from the Lady
Visitors since my last report in
October; most of you perhaps read of
the splendid Christmas provided for
the children by the Federated Clubs
through the efforts of Miss Rosa, our
visitor for December. In January we
received two handsome mirrors for
the girls of Deemer Cottage, some
thing we have been needing for some
time. We received a box of toys from
the people of Smyrna through Mrs.
Hynson, and Easter was provided for
by Mrs. Hynson in the form of a
thirty pound bucket of jelly eggs, and
paper for making Easter baskets. A
very nice box containing thirty four
well filled Easter baskets was sent to
us from the Librarius Branch of the
International Sunshine Socic-y. Mrs.
has taken up the rug problem
and is providing rugs.
Mrs. George Carter sent to us in
a box of very useful cloth
ing. You will perhaps be interested
