Sam Gilhooley's schoolmate reported tions of his verse and a sketch entitled "A Christmas Memory." "The Pilgrim Fathers had only two holidays," Mr. Llncol nsaid. "One -vas a fast day, when you could not eat anything, and one waa Thanksgiving when youd could eat everything." He recalled that when he was a boy in the elghteen-seventles the Fast Day proclamation of the Governor was still read In the churches of Massachusets. Thanksgiving Day then was even more Important than Christmas which, he remarked "was looked upon as slightly heathen, I don't know why." Hunter Delatour, president of the society, said: "Our membership has remained more or less static, with a slight again over the preceding year. This condition must be Improved and I look forward to the day whea our membership wlU include many hundreds who are qualified because of ancestry and birth to belong to our society, but who up to the present time have either not be aproached to join us or have been Indifferent to what the society stand for." Quotes President Hayes In a discussion of "New England principles," Mr.

Delatour quoted from an address delivered at the first annual dinner of the society in 1880 by Rutherford B. Hayes, then President of the United States. President Hayes, who stressed the ideals of free education, financial austerity and the sacredness of the home as peculiarly precious to New England, was quoted by Mr. Delatour as saying: "New England believes that every man and woman under the law ought to have an equal chance and an equal hope with every other man and woman." The invocation was pronounced by the Rev. Fred M.

Adams, rector of the Church of the Messiah and Incarnation. Also seated on the dais were Harold E. Ditmars, president of the St. Nichols Society of Nassau Island, and George F. Byrnes, president of the St Patrick Society of Brooklyn.

From the sad tone of the letters, it would seem that the depression has not lifted and there are many needy and hungry who feel almost at the breaking point after five long years of worry and hardship.
