Blans- field alleges that the petitioner was negligent in her maternal duties to the child, and thus jeopardi2ed It's health and welfare. She brings a counter -charge of desertion and abandonment of the child by the plaintiff, and asserts that she and her husband want to keep the child, inasmuch as the plaintiff, who is employed in a factory, Is unable to devote proper attention to him.

THURSDAY, NOV. 20 THANKSGIVING DAY

Thanksgiving Day will be cele- brated In Connecticut on Thursday, November 20, the third Thursday of the month. In recent years, despite President Roosevelt's request that the observance be held on the third Thursday instead Of the customary fourth Thursday, this state clung to tradition.
 However, Gov. Robert A. Hurley has announced that he will desig- nate the 2Oth as Thanksgiving. He will issue a proclamation to that effect within the next few weeks.
 Next year the entire country will return to celebrating the holiday on the last Thursday of November, President Roosevelt having an- nounced that the old date would be restored. The expected gain in re- tail trade because of the longer shopping period failed to material- ize.
