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.
Wash., December 2, 1935, had
overpaid estate taxes by $295,
122.
The Tacoma branch of the
Bank of California, executor of
the estate of the widow of Rob
ert L. McCormick, had appealed
to the board from the treasury's
claim a $493,068 deficiency ex
isted in the estate taxes.
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

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. And the folks who bought those former posses
sions of ours at low cost will have a merrier Christmas
too.
