Morganton, N.C., Dec. 25—Christmas brought its glad tidings
to every one of the 1,400 patients in the State hospital here and everything
was done to make a happy Christmas for the unfortunate ones.
Every patient received a bountiful supply of candies,
fruits, nuts, etc., and throughout the long corridors holly and other
decorations and large banners bearing such inscriptions as “A Happy Christmas”
and “Christmas Greetings,” added to the happiness of the patients.
The preparation of the special Christmas dinner, which is
given every year, is an enormous undertaking. More than 150 turkeys and about
200 chickens were prepared for the dinner, which will give some idea of the
proportionate amount of other things it required for the meal.
In addition special entertainments and amusements were
arranged for Christmas week and patients give and receive presents and a
general happiness fills the entire institution.
