MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1939. PAGE ELEVEN FIRE BOYS NEED MORE OLD TOYS TO Lady Lions Urge Cooper ation in Annual Effort to Make Presents For Needy Chief Roy Elliott in .joining in the plea for more old toys. PLANES FIRED ON If more fortunate residents will donate old toys generously, the children of 200 families will receive presents this Christmas, it was stated today by Mrs. Ray Marti, president of thet Lady Lions, who assist city firemen in this annual project. "If all the underprivileged ' children are to receive Christ mas cheer this year, we must have many more contributions of old, discarded toys than we now have on hand," Mrs. Marti SBlu. we neeu mem iiuw w that the firemen will have time to restore them to playthinns just as good as new. It doesn't matter how hopelessly ruined ' the toys might appear; the fire men have become expert at re storing the old playthings and their work is really a revela tion. Toys Needed Now "So we are appealing again for old, battered toys that are of no further use to their own ers. We need them now as the time is growing short. Please deliver them to fire headquar ters at Front and Third streets. There the firemen will be glad to show what they have done ji already. If donors are unable rto deliver the toys, please tele phone 763-Y and they will be called for." The firemen, using funds from the annual firemen's ball for materials and supplies, re store the old toys in their fire hall workshop, donating their time and talent to the project. The Lady Lions distribute the restored toys a few days before Christmas. New toys also are gratefully received if anyone . cares to make such donations, Mrs. Marti said. Old dolls are dressed by the Lady Lions and this year the women are being assisted by Girl Scouts who also are donating their old play things. "Let's give the poor kids a big Christmas this year," said Santa Ana, Cal., Dec. 1. (IP) Sheriff Jesse Elliott said to day federal agents were investi gating some terrible-tempered duck hunters hereabouts. Elliott said the hunters be came enraged when army pilots, testing two military planes, flew close to their blinds, frighten ing the birds away. At least one hunter fired at the low-flying ships, Elliott said, blowing a hole in the wing of one and damaging the other superficially.

McCormick Heirs Win Tax Argument Washington, Dec. 1 (IP) The tax appeals board decided today the estate of Mrs. Anna E. Mc Cormick, who died in Tacoma.

DONATIONS TOTAL NEAR LAST YEAR (ContlnnM mra Page On.) proved by the budget commit tee of the Community Chest. If the total fund raised exceeded the total approved budgets, the excess was to be retained in the Comunity Chest as a carry over reserve for future years. Budgets Under Survey Meantime, however, the par ticipating agencies prepared their budgets and when the cam paign was concluded it - was found that the amount of the pledges slightly exceeded the total of the agencies' budgets. Last year the Community Chest total fell short of the budget estimates and the budgets were cut more than 20 per cent and the agencies' activities had to be curtailed accordingly, the board of directors recalled. Budget committees of the participating agencies are com posed of business men and wo men. Their budgets are now be fore the budget committee of the Community Chest for ap proval. When the budgets are approved finally, the figures will be made public, It was In dicated. Campaign Cost Low An effort was made this year to eliminate campaign expenses completely and while this goal was not attained the total cost of conducting the drive will amount to only one-half of one per cent of the fund pledged, directors stated. Expenses of the campaign totalled only $81.16 and were itemized as follows: Desk rental $3.00 Telephone 8.93 Printing of pledge cards....30.75 500 sets of receipt books ...23.95 50 ribbon badges with printing 4.00 Motion picture trailer 10.00 Telegram .53 campaign expenses to a mini mum, it was pointed out. In the past, for example, a paid secre tary has been employed part time but this year the secre tary's services are being do nated. All other workers in the campaign volunteered their ser vices, there being more than 150 active volunteer' workers. To all of them the board of di rectors today expressed grati tude and appreciation. Directors pointed out that this year the proportion of cash contributions was substantially larger than In any other recent year. This reduces the work of collection and also reduces pos sible collection shrinkage, it was emphasized. All who contributed by dis seminating information on the campaign and otherwise helped in publicizing the drive without cost to the Community Chest were thanked by the board of directors. There was a general feeling of optimism in the or ganization and the unanimous I opinion was that the people had responded generously and in a manner that merited only com mendation. Six Agencies Share The six agencies that partici pate in the Community Chest fund are the Salvation Army, Red Cross, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Girls Community club and the Jackson County Public Health association. The funds derived from the Community Chest do not fully meet the needs of the participating agen cies as they perform services outside the areas where the an nual campaign ia conducted. Outside areas, however, contri bute their proportionate than for the services rendered by the various organizations. Logical Woman. Oklahoma City. (IP) Roger Rogers, deputy sheriff, knock ed at a door and handed a housewife a summons to di vorce court. "Now who In the world could be suing me for divorce?" she exclaimed. "Must be your husband," Rogers vol unteered. "Yes, sir, I'll bet that's just who did it." Total $81.16 Only expense that will be In curred during the rest of the year will be for postage stamps and stationery, directors said. Voluntary contributions of services and facilities were in strumental this year in reducing ( I'VE LEARNED J on ieoiiDit'sBTl m msL mm p." : !oU mora per recipe - BUT-rf gott further and ioa htt' Ur baking than chtap floor.

Use the CLASSIFIED ADS This Is How We Financed Our Christmas Shopping... Less than a week ago Bob and I were having a tad case of doldrums! Reason? No ready cash with which to buy Christmas gifts, and we just couldn't let our selves get in debt. Then Bob thought of the Classified Ads and without telling me, he placed an ad mention ing the things like Mary's baby carriage and Brother's three wheel bicycle, our old gas heater and Bob's old golf clubs which we had no more use for. Sure enough, Bob sold everything and handed me the cash with which to Christmas-shop for the family. We're happy.
