we decided that it would be wisest
for them both to go to Calif, for the

where they can either board or keep
house for themselves.

^-Thanksgiving*
Thanksgiving Day proved a pleas
ant one for the children. A short
serivce had been held the evening
before at the Church. The day was
rather cold and considerable snow
had fallen, the lakes however were
not frozen solidly enough to afford
much skating except along the edges
and there the snow had to be swept
off. but the coasting was excellent.
Before dinner the children and
workers assembled in front of the
mission to be photographed. The
picture was excellent as far as it went,
but unfortunately it did not reach far
enough. In inserting the plate the
camera was slightly moved and
Grandma Campbell, and several of
the children at the extreme end were
left out of the group.
Alter the picture was taken we sal
down to an splendid dinner prepared
by Mrs Anna Campbell.
Our guests were Mr. and Mrs. Hal
lanogoff and their daughter. Mr. and
Mrs. Kohlia Anioknok and their two
sons, Mr. I’aul Chya and his three
sons, Mrs Fadao and her daughter.
A flash light picture was taken of
the guests, hut as it has not been de
veloped yet we cannot say whether it
is satisfactory or not
After the dinner work was done the
children enjoyed a jolly time coasting
down the hill beside the mission.
