People who have used toys, games, playthings of any descrip tion, regardless of their state of repair, are requested to donate ] them to this cause. Toys may be carried to Landon’s Super Service station on the corner of 9th and D streets, where they will be stored until taken to the WPA recreation work room adjacent to the city hail for repairs and classification. WPA workefs will make any needed repairs without charge and turn the toys over to the Christmas Cheer committee In usable and workable condition and ready for distribution.

Each dollar over a $30.00 club will carry a proportionate number of extra votes. Here Is what It means: The regular vote as shown on the front of the receipt books amounts to 6,000 votes; the extra votes under this $30 club offer Is at the rate of 15,- 000 extra votes on each one year subscription.
