Newspaper Page TextMEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1933. PAGE THREE FIRE BOYS ISSUE TOYS 10 REPAIR Another call was issued by firemen today for old toys no longer needed. The old play things will be converted into Christmas presents for poor children. As the restored toys must be distributed a few days before Christmas and as time must be allowed for the drying of paint, all work must be completed be for December 20, Chief Roy El liott said. This leaves only about a week and a half to work on the old toys, y Toys of all kinds are needed but especially wagons of the larger sizes, firemen said. When the work on the discarded toys Is completed, the restored play things, good as new, will be turned over to the Lady Lions for distribution. Meantime any one interested may go to fire headquarters and see the fire men at work on the battered old toys. Cards will be distributed by the Lady Lions to families who are to receive the restored toys and presentations will be by card only, it was explained by Mrs. Ray Marti, president of the Lions club auxiliary. Time and place of distribution will be an nounced later. It is calculated that children of 200 needy fami lies will receive gifts through the work of the firemen and the Lady Lions. Ik ;V m I - -iJSl EMPHASIZED BY- HULL Washington, Dec. 8.

(JP) Rep resentatives from Washington, California, British Columbia and the 36 Oregon counties honored Henry F. Cabell, state highway commission chairman and pres ident of the American Associa tion of State Highway Officials, last night. The 300 guests included for mer Governor Charles H.

Washington (U.R) The first American field artillery battery to go into action in France dur ing the last World war has seen action for the last time. It took part in recent army maneuvers at Fort Meade, Md., before giv ing way to a smaller unit. Headquarters battery at the 1st field artillery stationed at Fort Hoyle, Md., believed to have fired the first American artillery shot during the war, will be disestablished in line with a war department plan streamlining all Army divisions. The new compact and highly mobile forces with a peace-time strength of approximately 8, 500 and a wartime footing of 12,000 have no headquarters battery. Although there is much con troversy in the field artillery as to which brigade actually went into action first, an interesting sidelight, and one that clinches the claim of the battery, was uncovered in the office of Brig. Gen. Maxwell Murray, com manding officer of the Wash ington provisional brigade. An aide related how Murray, then a captain with the 1st Bri gade, ordered a 155-millimeter gun rolled to the front on a truck and fired the first shot. It was believed this gave the brigade the right to claim dis tinction as the first in action. When the brigade is knocked down, the officers will be re assigned and most of the en listed men will be transferred to Madison Barracks, N. Y., and Fort Knox, Ky. The unit is one of the most highly technicalized divisions of the artillery. ALL-AMERICAN TEAM New York, Dec. 8. Spl Selections for Collier's 50th an nual All-America football team, a perpetuation of the All-America started by Walter Camp in Collier's in 1889, were an nounced today.

Fullback: Banks McFadden, Clemson. In awarding the Walter Camp gold football to these players, Collier's points out that in the half century since its first All America team was published, football has developed from a point where there were maybe 50 or 60 good players in the country, to the present position with its 10,000 or more well trained, well-coached players electrifying more than 40,000, 000 fans. This of course has tremend ously increased the task of pick ing an All-America. In the early days Walter Camp picked the team personally, having seen all the leading players. But today an All-America advisory board, made up of expert observers in every part of the country, makes the selections. contest. Communist Radio Seized by Greeks Athens Dec. 8.
