GREAT MANY TOYS
HAVE BEEN GIVEN
Adults and Children Re-
spend to Appeal for the
Underprivileged

Countless quantities of used toys
have been contributed by adults and
children during the past week to those
agencies that are collecting them and
repairing them for presentation to
needy children at Christmas. Mrs W.
D. Payne, director of the recreation
projects for the city and the county,
is in charge of the work.
Boy Scouts were at the junior high
school from to o'clock last week
and will be again during those hours
again this week to receive toys that
may be brought to them. Mrs. Payne
said also that calls would be made
at homes for toys offered by families
without way to get them into the
hands of the committee.
After the toys have been collected
and repaired, they will be turned over
tC the Salvation Army for distribu-
ton at Christmas. There has been a
most generous response to the appeal,
Mrs. Payne said.
Many children have taken toys
either to school or to their Sunday
school classes. 1t is felt certain that
there Is an abundance of toys avail
able more than to meet the require
ments if the response is as liberal as
hoped for

Many Have
Yet To Do
Purchasing
Merchants Prepared
for Expected Rush
With Clearing OF
Weather Again

With ideal weather, including a
bright sun and temperatures just low
enough to put zest into ones activities
Christmas shopping took on renewed
vigor today, following whole week
last week of rainy weather that Kept
indoors most of the time those whose
duties did not carry them afield.
Merchants Of Henderson were a.
waiting what was generally expected
to be the shopping rush this week.
Many people had not done their
shopping, some not even having start
ed as yet Most people have some left
to do, and very few had finished the
annual task entirely.
Energies pent up by forbidding
weather conditions were expected to
burst forth this week Although the
weather kept many at home and made
it rather dull week for some mer-
chandising lines, time did not wait,
and Christmas was a week nearer to-
day than last Monday, and only nine
shopping days left.
One of the biggest tobacco breaks
of the late season was on the Hen
derson market today, and released
many thousands of dollars to growers.
Much of the money was cash in
pocket for growers, for pressing OBJ
legation had been paid already. Trade
felt this upsurge of ready money.
Stocks of merchandise are still very
complete, and mid-season Christmas
shoppers will find an abundance from
whicl to make selections.

The concrete flooring for the base
ment in the new part of the post Of
flee has heen completed, and prepare
tions are going forward for starting
the walls upward. The continuous
rainy weather last week delayed the
