Inmates of the county home were guests of the Yoke Fellowship band of the Young Men’s Christian association at a Christmas dinner served there Sunday noon, the menu for which included everything from turkey and cranberry sauce to cake and fruit. It was the ninth Christmas dinner served to the prisoners of the county by the band.
Cake and fruit was also given to the prisoners at the county stockade and those in the city jail. Supt. and Mrs. W.C. Page, of the county home, lent their assistance in the making of a very happy Christmas day for the unfortunate inmates of the county stockade.
Following the dinner the regular Sunday service was held and on Monday Christmas services were given at the institution followed by the band, which conducts the religious programs at the institution every Sunday afternoon.
From the Wilmington Morning Star, Wednesday, Dec. 28, 1921. Interesting that the poor in the county home are called prisoners.
