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.

The Royal Apprenticeship com
missioners held their December meet
ing yesterday afternoon at tho Hotel
Holland. Member present Included
Maynsrd Bush, chairman; James K
Hoey, Clyde Williamson and 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. Tho boy goes
to school half of the day and works
on the practical Job the other half
Thus he Is able to graduate from
high school and at the same time
learn or start to learn a trade.

be very glad to answer any further
questions relative to this work. He
also reported the following list of

Gates 5e Lydlard Initiated the
Christmas parties for children In
1021, second year of the partnership's
business. The partnership discon
tinued the parties to avoid confusion
and duplication some years lator
when, In the lush years of the late
1920's, other companies began giving
similar affairs. Wnen the depression
discouraged the giving of these par
ties, however, Gates & Lydlard came
back to Its original purpose of being
of help to the county's deserving
children.
The Gates & Lydlard Christmas
parties were resumed In 19U5 and
have been held annually since A
year ago last November William H.
Lydlard, original partner wltn Wil
liam A. Gates, died. He had always
been fond of children and the annual
Christmas parties had been a happy
event In his life. So the parties have
been continued. Recently the Gro
ceteria business wos Incorporated as
Gatea & Lydlard, Inc.. with throe
loyal employes as members of the
company. H was decided then that
the Christmas party would be held
again this year.
