ORPHANS HAPPY AT
 OUTING BY K. OF [.
Knights Entertain 122 Children
 at Lake COInpOunGe

The inmates of the Polish Orph- ane, were guests of Daily Council, No. 12, K. of C.. on the second an- nual outing at Lake Compounce yesterday. A total of 122 children attended and to say that they had a good time, is putting the statement mildly. The outing was started last year and the fund through which it is wade possible is made up of voluntary contributions from the members at large.
 The house committee of the coun- cil was in charge of the event and was materially assisted by a special committee from Court Columbia, Catholic Daughters of America, in serving lunch and taking care of the children at the lake.
 The party left New Britain in two trolley cars which were filled to overflowing. Changes to the Com- bounce line were made at Plainville and the lake was reached in short time. There the children were given the freedom of the grounds. Every thing was free to the members of the party. The merry -go-round, the whip, and all the other pleasure giving devices were kept in a fe- verish activity all day long. A tasty luncheon was served to the entire party on the lawns of the casino and the afternoon was de- voted to all the fun it is possible to get into one day.
 The committee had made plans to conduct an athletic field day at the lake in which both the girls and boys would participate, but when it was seen that to call the chil- dren in for the events would only tend to dampen the fun, it was de- cided to call it off for the day. Be- tween 50 and 60 prizes had been brought over to be given to the win ners and these were turned over to the nuns in charge to be given at a field day that will be held at the Orphanage some day next week.
 The children ranged in age from i've years iO Lp anu IL was d tiiC but happy crowd that returned to New Britain early last evening. They were provided with horns and other noise making devices and although orphans, they were well taken care of yesterday.
 The K. of C. make sit practice 10 act as big brothers to the chill dren at the Polish Orphanage and on all occasions, the orphans are the objects of the kindness of the members. At Christmas time, the furnish them Christmas tree and stage big party at the
