Smiling CHILDREN
GREET R07ARIANS
They Expected Sadness But Are
Net With Laughter

Members Of the New Britain
Rotary club motored II miles ire
turn measurementl today and treat
ed themselves to luncheon Of home
cooking In the Palace Of Cheer
fulness' officially known as The
Newington Home for Crippled Chill
dren.
Tho Rotarians were guests at the
home. and. according to President
A. =. Corbin, their visit was . rev.
elation In many respects. Expecting
a. few Of them did. to see a place
Of suffering. an institution crowded
to the doors with little children in
all sorts Of pain. they were pleasant
ly surprised to find nothing but
smiling faces and happiness.
True, their little hosts and hos
tesses. obviously had surmounted
some handicaps, but nothing to
speak Of. According to Miss Con-
stance Leight. superintendent, there
were, few who had twisted legs and
useless arms or backs which insist
ed upon following contour all their
own. In some cases an arm or leg
was missing, but outside Of these
conditions there was no trouble
evident.
Surgical operations In the hospi-
tai At the home, which Is a scienti-
fc laboratory for reconstruction of
infant bodies. come as a reward. and
only the good children are permitted
the luxury Of operations. AS Miss
Leigh explained. most of the chill
dren are very good and have heen
rewarded with several operations. A
few who are almost 100 per cent
good have been treated to as many
as five operations. Miss Leigh seri-
ously assured the Rotarians that she
did not think they could be quite
good enough to merit an operation
in her hospital.
The meal was served by the chill
dren. who embarrassed by the great
honor. beamed with smiles as they
handed out plates of food to their
guests. Not child seemed to need
sympathy. In fact so happy did
the youngsters seem that an ex-
preston of sympathy would have
been very much misplaced. I'VE
never use the word cripple here, it
is very bad form" explained Miss
Leigh.
The food itself was a novelty to
the guests all the way from the
fried potatoes and ham to the Ice
cream and sugar cookies and crul-
lers the latter of TIE kind which
graced the average dining table a
generation ago.
The visiting Rotarians were invit-
ed to make their visit an annual af-
fair. Miss Leigh in her brief ad-
dress explained that the Newington
Home for Crippled children is not
a state institution. 1t is a state aid
institution which is something de-
cidedly different. The difference
means that every year the home
must raise between $4,000 and $40,-
900 outside Of the aid received from
the state. Each child's mainte-
nance, education and medical and
surgical attention costs $3.50 a week
more than the state provides. This
must come from volunteer contribu-
lions.
She spoke Of a new organization
which is being formed in the state,
to be known as THE State Society
for Crippled Children" This So
ciety will have members all over
the state and will have active
branches in each community. One
member Of every Rotary club in the
state will be director or an execu-
tive.
