MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORP. OREGON. WEDNESDAY. MARCH" 20. 1935. PAGE FTVK FIREMAN LAUNCH s DRIVEJOR MSj Formulate Plan's for Secur ing Christmas Toys Now Makers of Alpine Milk i Will Extend Assistance! Carrol Hays, president of the Lions club ol this city, announced today that the Lions, Lady Lions and Med ford firemen have Inaugurated a ) plan whereby, with the cooperation ' th.iihiip kiddles In Medford and vicinity without toys next Christmas will be supplied with an abundance j of dolls and other toys. Last years efforts on the part of the Lions club and firemen to supply the children with toys showed the necessity for a greater supply this year and the present campaign has been launched to meet the situation next holiday season. Broken toys were repaired by the fire laddies last year and new ones made and painted, but the work took too much time and money. Through the new simple plan the situation will be vastly Improved this year. The Nestle Milk corporation, pack era of Alpine Milk, an Oregon pro duct, shipped In wooden cartons from the Timber products company of Medford, haa a premium plan where by coupons on each can may be re deemed for toys. The plan of the Lion's is Just this; Medford people, when they purchase "Alpine" milk, the brand put up by the Nestle com pany are asked to save the coupons. Boxes will be established In all the Medford grocery stores, and the cou- ' pons may be placed there by the pub lic. By Christmas time there will be enouch to get a large supply of new toys to add to the ones made by the firemen. W. A. Gates, of Gates and Lyd lard, has this to say on the subject "Save your Alpine milk labels, and the Lions will use them to buy toys for the poor children at Christmas time. Alpine la good milk, and the boxes In which It Is packed are made In Medford. Your coperatlon means this: You give employment to local labor, you get milk from Oregon farms, you get the finest milk for yourself, and besides all that you bring Christmas cheer to the poor children of your community and it costa you nothing extra. The statement made by Mr. Gates Is typical of that expressed by local business men. Fire Chief Elliott atates, "We are only too happy to cooperate. For several years we have been making, repairing and dlstrlb' uting toys, but the burden sometimes becomes heavy, and the plan spon' sored by the Lions la an excellent one It will mean one of the happiest . Christmas seasons ever had by many ) unfortunate Medford children." Milk labels are such an unlmport. ant thing In the Uvea of most people mat tno great auvaiitHgro ui ,iau are apt to be overlooked unless the Medford public stops to consider the splendid results possible. Once the move gains momentum, the results are sure to prove gratifying. PROWLERS FATHER FILES NEW CHARGE PORTLAND, Ore.. March 30.

An Interesting angle of the Lions Club and Medford Firemen Christmas toy campaign here In conjunction with the premium offer on Alpine Milk by the Nestles MllKs Products company. Is the fact that this corporation has purchased box shoohs for the shipping of Alpine milk from the Timber Products com pany of Medford to an amount In the nelghborhod of a third of a With a live African lion and a company of magicians and comedians in Medford, people here will have something unusual to think about. Vtrgll and his full company will give a complete evening of entertainment in person on the stage at the High school auditorium Monday, March 25, under auspices of the Medford high school. Not only are the patrons promised "more thrills and chills than a five ring circus" but there is an equal amount of fun and comedy of the real hilarious, side-splitting variety. Virgil's "Honest Boy" and his "Fun with Fire-crackers" have won for him not only the applause of hundreds of audiences but fame among magi clans as the outstanding funster In the magic profession. Chan with his mysterious ducks contributes to the merriment while Julie shows her artistry In her "Painting with Fabrics." A complete public address system fs carried by the company as well as special music, lights and scenery. Perhaps the greatest of all of Vir gil's thousand tricks and illusions Is his noted "Human Saw Mill" In which he uses a 30-inch motor driv en buzz saw which revolves at the rate of 3000 revolutions a minute. After sawing lumber with the saw he straps a lady to the same machine and visibly plunges the saw through her body while the bare skin Is In full view of the audience. The "spirit paintings." so-called, aa produced by Virgil share honors with his "Burning a Man Alive" and the "Hindu Basket Mystery." The entire list of effects are new and he per forms them exactly the same as he did In the large theaters of the world. The money of the local high school will derive from this show will go towards purchasing new uniforms be fore departure of the band for the state tournament in Corvallls.

The chorus will be composed of members of the glee clubs. for Alpine Milk million dollars. These tremendous purchases were made over a period of nine years. By making their purchases at the local box factory, the makers of Al pine Milk have contributed a great deal towards the Industrial develop ment of this city, as the huge pur chasns which have been made during the past nine years have been re sponsible for the employment of a large number of men.

March 30 i APt Nature enacted one of Its most mysterious dramas Tuesday with the return of thous ands of swallows to San Caplstrano mission, a St. Joseph's day arrival which for years haa never varied a day at the historic structure. As the swallows arrived an exodus of an equal number of sparrows oc curred In another inexplicable prank of nature. The swallows, coming from some unknown place over the Pacific, took nesting places about the mission as the sparrows began their search elsewhere for summer resi dences. Generally the sparrows re sist the Invasion, but the swallows thus far always have been winners In the struggle for the possession of the mission walls. Tuesday's on-time arrival was wit nessed by the Rev. A. J. Hutchinson, mission pastor, who reported five scouts representing the en route swallows arrived a day in advance to survey the situation and then rejoin the flying birds over the sea. appar ently to announce all was well.
