Fire Chief J. G. Sarran, with
members of his department., will de-
nascend from the snorting steeds to de-
liver their packages. They will be
toys which more fortunate kiddies have
donated to brighten the lives of the
poor.
FIREMEN FIX TOYS.
For weeks members of the fire de-
parunent at No. station, on Crockett
street, have been working in their toy
shop. One man has been repairing
broken wheels to scooters and auto
mobiles, another putting back a miss
ing arm on dolly, still others welding
the paint brush. Now the little room
looks like miniature toy store.
Daily little girls and boys flock to
the station with their last years toys,
tin soldiers, teddy bears, tricycles and
innumerable other toys which glad
+dened their hearts last Christmas morn.
Others telephone Chief Sarran and he
sends out their gifts.
NEED MORE.
The pile is growing steadily. But
Chief Sarron is still calling for more.
With the cooperation of The Light he
hopes to make this the biggest Christ
mas in history for the poor Riddles. So
he urges all who have toys they don't
want, no matter how badly they are
damaged. to send them in or tele-
phone him.
With new coat OF paint, new
dresses for the dolls, new arms and
legs for the broken soldiers, the toys
will be placed in neat packages TO re-
main in the storeroom until Christmas
day.
Then the big fire chief, with his as
sistants, will start out in automobiles
to make the distribution. 1t is hoped
that there will be toys for every little
poor boy and girl in San Antonio.
To this end Chief Sarran urges that
more and more toys be sent in.
