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.

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.

FILES NEW CHARGE
PORTLAND, Ore.. March 30. (AP
A charge of manslaughter today
confronted Paul Vandenburg, who
yesterday was exonerated by a coro
ner's jury for the slaying of Vernon
Weaver, 17, shot to death as a prowler.
Vandenburg said prowlers had stol
en several articles from his home.
He saw Weaver in his back yard last
Thursday night, commanded him to
halt and fired when the youth ran.
The coroner's Jury termed the slay
ing "Justifiable homicide."

toy campaign here In conjunction
with the premium offer on Alpine

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

state tournament in Corvallls.

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.

VISIT AT
SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO. Calif..
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.
If tradition Is maintained the swai
lowa will vanish into the western sky
San Juan day. October 33. to
make a departure which likewise
.never has varied a day. The spar-
iows move In when the swallows
move out.
