family has helped me serve the dinner but It is too big a job now with so many residents he said those who can find after such a large soup sandwiches fruit cake shortbread and fruits and candies make up the menu Most of the residents In at New Year A turkey dinner was again served wine and cheese parly was held in the afternoon as a musical program was provided by George and Ralph Uriel of George
