At best it's an unflatteing image of D d--and li e the other stale Jokes the conclusion drawn is unfair. Educa- tors have accepted the role of toys in many facets of a child s development. The first advances a child makes in coordinatiOn . . . in good grooming., . in playing together witlt other children.., most often have a toy as the moti- vating factor. • What better reason for Dad---and MOther as well to take a hearty and active interest in their children's toys! This interest Should start with the selection of the proper toys for your children and should, include full participation with the kids as they learn the rules.., follow the instruc- tions.., put together the new toys they've received. You'll be surprised at how n uch you can learn 'about how your own children are developing, and how much fun you'll have in the bargain. Take the parents out of play- time ? Humbug!

Time was very short, yet in a matter of three or four days over 2,000 books were donated and within a Week of the drive's beginning,ttiese books were being read in the war zone. , Christmas trees contributed by local residents found their way to the fighting men overseas. Earlier this year the Wi9 this Community opened its heart to the Buddy Franklin kidney project was one of the most beautiful examples of all. l ach Christmas for tile past 20 years public contribu- tions provide baskets of food and toys to neighbors whose lot has been little and whose means are small. Some 75 to 90 families are helped annually at the Christmas season by this project, conducted by the 40 & 8 in conjunction with this newspaper. We're now in the midst of the 20th annual Christmas basket project. About half of the $1,000 needed has beefi contributed at this point. We know this warm-hearted comnmnity will see to it that the last half of the needed fund Is raised.
