SHILING CHILDREN GREET ROTARIANS They Expected Sadness But Are Met With Langhter Members of the New Britain Rotary club motored 11 miles (re- turn measurement) today and treat- ed themselves to a luncheon of home cooking in the “Palade ef Cheer- fulness” officlally known as The Newington Home for Crippled Chil- dren. The Rotarians were guests at the home, and, according to President A. F. Corbin, their visit was a rev- elation in many respects. Expetting as a few of them did, to see a place of suftering, an institution crowded to the doors with little children in all gorts of pain, they were pleasant- ly surprised to find nothing but smiling faces and happiness. True, thelr little hosts and hos- tesses, obviously had .surmounted some handicaps, but nothing to speak of. According to Miss Con- stance Leight, superintendent, there were.a few who had twisted legs and useless arms or backs which insist- | ed upon following a contour all their own. In some cases an arm or leg was missing, but outsida - of these conditions, there was no evident. Surgical operations in the hospi- tal at the home, which is a sclenti- trouble | »-The soclety’s duty will be that of searching out handicapped children and through local organizations see- ing that they receive relief, care and educational advantages. Each mem- bership will cost $2, except those who join' in a group, when. the fee will be $1 each. Miss Leigh emphasized the fact that the society will work through the existing agencies in each com- munity. She called attention to the fact that children with normal bodies are forced by the state to go to school, others sometimes are very much neglected. *“Hundreds of chil- dren are not going to school,” she said. “The job of the soclety is to soe that these children are not ne- glected. “We are going to see that it {sn't an easy thing for a handicapped boy or girl to be neglected. We are going to search out crippled chil- dren and by means of reconstruc- tion through proper departments, |see that they get the care they should have. “If you don’t think there is any |need of this, let me tell you of a New Britain boy. He was born in |this country but until he was 14 years old he never spoke a word of English. We brought him here and in three years he graduated with honors from our eighth grade. To- day he is maintaining a very fine record in your New Britain high ischool." |Branford Bank Petition Is Found to Be Faulty Hartford, June 2 (—Due to a | defect in 'service, of the papers, the petitioners for a charter for the People’'s Bank and.Trust company of Branford at a hearing before fic laboratory for reconstruction ot[ infant bodies, come as a reward, and | State Bank Commissioner John B. only the good children are permitted | the luxury of operations.” As Miss| Leigh explained, most of the chil- | dren are very good and have leen| rewarded with several operations. A | tew 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 opsration | in her hospital. The meal was served by the chil- | dren, who embarrassed by the great | honor, beamed with smiles as they handed out plates of food to their | guests. Not a child seemed to need sympathy. In fact so happy did| the youngstcrs scem that an ex- pression of sympathy would have been very much misplaced. “We| nevet 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 tried potatoes and ham to the ice| cream and sugar cookies and crul- lers, the latter of the kind which graced the average dining table a generation ago. e visiting Rotarians were invit- ed to make their visit an annual af- | tair. Miss Leigh in her brief ad-| dress explained that the Newington | Home for Crippled children is not a state Institution. It is a state aid | institution which is something de- | cldedly different. The difference | means that every year the home “ must raise between $35,000 and $40,- | 000 outside of the ald recelved from the sfate. Each child's mainte. | nance, education and medical and | surglcal attention costs $4.50 a week | more €han the state provides. This Byrne at the capitol this afternoon were ordered to re-advertise their intention of organizing such a bank and hearing was indefinitely post- poned. It was found that existing banks and bankers in Branford had not been properly notified 4and avold any criticism later, should the charter be granted now, the com- missioner felt that the petitioners should be made to re-advertise their notice of intention to form the bank. Ernest L. Averill of Branford rep- resented the petitioners at the hear- ing.

London, June 3 UM—As Captain Lindbergh was completing arrange- ments today for his return to the United States after two strenuous weeks as a public hero, therc was no | mistaking his eagerness to be home.

An idea of how anxious Lindy is | tor rest, without having to be guided by programs, was had from his re- ply to a question put to him by a newspaperman: “What would ping off for Paris?” he was asked, and without a moment's hesitation canre the answer: “Nothing.
