LAST PLEA MADE
FOR OLD TOYS
A final plea for old toys to be
made over for underprivileged
children was voiced yesterday
by the Lady Lions.
The discarded toys have not
been received in the volume
hoped for, said Mrs. C. C.
Proctor, general chairman, In
asking for more donations. Con
tributions should be made in
time for distribution of the re
built playthings December 18,
10 and 20, she stated.
The Lady Lions are also look
ing for a downtown place from
which to distribute the toys. If
anyone is willing to donate use
of a vacant downtown store for
the three days of distribution
the Lady Lions would like to
hear from him.
With a new large workshop,
city firemen, who rebuild the
old toys, can handle a larger
volume this year than ever be
fore but thus far the contribu
tions have been lighter than an
ticipated. To complete their
work on time, the firemen said
they would like to have all con
tributions made before the end
of the week.
