This Day in History: 1921-07-25
A number of Mahwah families have taken in convalescing children from the Social Service Bureau of Bellvue Hospital. These children are not ill but many are undernourished and can benefit from a country outing. Among those who accepted these children are Mrs. A. C. Drake, Mrs. William Sargeant, Mrs. A. J. Ellis, Mrs. O. H. Bruen, Mrs. A. R. Wilcox, Mrs. Lane, and Mrs. Adamson. There are more children waiting. The one week stays have, in many cases, been extended to two and even three weeks. Two families have even offered to adopt their guests but these children are not orphans and must be returned to their families. (Mrs. Alex Adamson of Mahwah is coordinating these visits.) (Bristow)
