DISTRIBUTION OF CHRISTMAS GIFTS Norwich Nest of Owls Provided Dinners For 33 Families Outside Order and Also Remembered Sick Members— Salvation Army Bngl:tened Many Hearts With Xmas Tree. Christmas joy, which had the added fuctor of being entirely unexpected, was brought o 33 deserving lamilies of the city on Monday morning by & cus- tem inaugurated by Norwich nest, No. 1396, Order of Owls, which had sought out ‘these worthy families in need of assistance at this time in the year and presented to each a Christmas basket ccntaining a liberal supply of meat, sugar, coffee, tea, vegetables, celery, bread, fruit of ail kinds and candy. None of the families so helped was connected with the order, and when the automoblle containing the com- mittee drew up at the door and the basket was presented it was received with heartfelt expressions of gratitude, one notable case being of a family where the father was sick and unable to work to provide even a meagre Christmas dinner for his family of six children. The members of the nest who are on the sick list were remembered with large baskets of fruit, reminding them of the way they were kept in mind by their brother Owls. For the dinner baskets 200 pounds of meat were required, consisting of rcast pork. roast beef. turkevs and chickens, which with all the other pro- visions was all secured by the volun- tary contributions of the members for | this purpose without invading the regular_treasury funds. On Sunday afternoon the baskets were made up in Owls' hall and early Christmas morning, so as to be in time for dinner, the distribution was made in Pattison’s auto-truck under the di- rection of the committee, consisting of President, Ashley T. Boon, Vice Presi- dent George H. Stanton and Invocator Joseph A. George. So far as the members of the local nest know. Norwich nest is the first one of the order in this state to in- stitute this custom. and it is thelr in- tention to celebrate Christmas day in like manner in the future. The nest has only recently celebrated its first anniversary. its initial vear havine been marked by a progressive spirit of which its Christmas basket distri- bution j& a convincine demonstration.
