PUBLIC INVITED 10 SEE F MEND OLD TOYS Chief Elliott Opens Fire Hall Doors for Glimpse of An nual Aid to Santa Lady Lions Dress Yule Dolls The public was Invited today to visit fire headquarters anytime dur ing the day or evening to see hew battered old toys are made Into new playthings for poor children. The Invitation was Issued by Chief Hoy Elliott. If residents call at fire headquar ters this week they will see the dis carded toys in all processes of resto ration, from a mass of twisted metal and battered wood to playthings that would pass for new In any store win dow. Several of the firemen have become real artisans In toy making and take great pride In their work. All the boys of the department con tribute In one way or another to the project through which underprivi leged children are made happy at Christmas time by gtfte that other wise they would not receive. Time Donated The fire laddies give their time and talent to the project gratis. Materials and tools used In the project are paid for from the proceeds received each year from the firemen's ball. Over the course of years the department has equipped a work shop complete with the finest of power tools. Tho firemen welcome visitors at all times and are glad to show the public how the work of restoring the old toys la done. Restoration of the old playthings Is really a revelation. Battered toys that seem hopelessly beyond any fur ther use are made Into shiny new toys, expertly reconstructed and ar tistically painted. If any of the toys, such as wagons, tricycles and doll buggies, are too far gone for recon struction, they are knocked down for their various parts. The parts are then used In making a completely new toy. Over a period of years the firemen have accumulated a collec tion of spare parts. This year, how ever, there Is a shortage of wheels of all sires and sorts. More Toys Needed While a large mass of converted toys Is already on hand for dlstrl butlon to poor children at Christmas, the firemen stated today they are still short of their goal and In need of more discarded playthings to mnke over Into new Christmas gifts. They urgently pleaded for more contribu tions. As the reconstructed and re rViintrd toys must be ready for dis tribution two days before Christmas, nil contributions should be made within a weok, the sooner the better, the firemen emphasized. While the firemen have been at work on the old toys, members of the Lady Lions club have been busy dressing old dolls for tho poor chil dren. The Lady Lions work with the firemen on the old toy project aud take care of the difficult task of distribution. 150 Dolls Dresfied The Lady Lions thus far have dressed more than 160 discarded dolls and have bought and donated 163 new dolls and 84 new toys of various kinds, It was revealed today by Mm. Karl M. Miller, general chairman More old dolls for dressing are need ed, however, and they may be left st the Miller Motor Service, 139 South Bartlett street, Mrs. Miller said. The toys and dolls will be dis tribute on December 33 and 33 from 0 a. m, to 6 p. m. In a vacant part of the Pantorltim at 3(1 North Holly street, Mrs. Mltler announced. Cards will be sent to parents and they will call at the Pan tori urn for the play things, Mrs. Miller explained. She rmphaslred that the distribution must be completed in the two days specified and urged all pnrentji who are notified to call sometime during the two-day period. anything worthy of Investigation. A further search of cabins In the hilts of the Jacksonville area was also made, to no avail. . TRAPPERSTINED ON LICENSE LACK Martin L.

A Mentr-er, secretary and co-ordtnator at Medford high school, Mr. Mentzer explained the Fair Labor Standards act as applicable to the employment of apprentices. First, he said, to become an apprentice, a boy must.be at leart 18 years of age He must procure a work permit from tho State Welfare commission if he is under 18 years of age. The act further provides that an apprentice may be employed at a woge rate less than the minimum ,appllcablo under section 8, providing also that, a written agreement must be signed by the apprentice and the employer and approval by the State Appfen tlceship commission. This agreement must provide for not less than 4000 hours of reason able continuous employment and not less than 144 hours per year in school or related Instruction. The commission agreed that this new act conflicted very little with the Oregon plan for apprenticeship, which has been effect since 1035. The plon In brief Is a co-operative program of education and trade the trades and business.
