the wall, she continued:
"Our former principal made
those. She retired about 10
years ago. / guess she's about
80 now. She's crippled with
arthritis and cannot move from
her wheel chair. This year she
asked me what we needed, and
when I said 'sweaters,' she knit
ted all those"
When the idea Of giving under
privileged children a merry Christ
mas was first developed 10 years
ago, the teachers and principal Of
the Bancroft School did all the
work and delivered the presents.
But the job has grown so that it
has developed into a community
project. Last year, 1000 children
were supplied with toys and quilts.
The year before, 1000. Miss Lind
said she had no idea how many
would be taken care Of this yule-
tide.
Teachers in schools throughout
the poorer sections of the city are
notified and the toys collected and
distributed from there. Teachers,
parents and children handle the
task of delivering the presents
attractively wra p ped-to the
homes.
Practically every parent and
grandparent in the vicinity OF
Bancroft School has done his OF
her bit. There is the child special
ist who contributes his samples, y
toy telephones, baby dolls. cribs
and similar toys; the grandfather
"a retired business man-who
loves to repaint the wagons and
kiddie cars; the father who, when
his wife went to the hospital. fin
ished the quilt she had been work
ing on, though he swore the teach
ers to secrecy. and the young
mothers who contribute layettes
from their own sore to that OF
some poorer mother.
And so it has gone all down the
line, even to the children who
have given their most precious
toys so that some unfortunate
youngster might have Q happy
Christmas.

London, Dec. 8 (AP)-Prime Min
lister Stanley Baldwin reached Fort
Belvedere this evening, summoned by
his king, presumably to receive the
final decision of Edward VIII on re-

Wallis Warfield Simpson.
The premier fastened over the icy
roads from London to enter the gates
of the royal lodge in the gathering
darkness, while suspense hung heavy
over London, England and the empire.
1t generally was believed the deci-
sion, even if given tonight at Fort
Belvedere, would be withheld from
the public until Baldwin has an OPP
portunity to communicate it to the
House of Commons.
If the answer is abdication, the
king might give the tip-off by quick
flight from the country.
Edwards youngest brother, the
Duke of Kent, was believed to have
participated in tonights crucial meet
ing. There also were reports the
motor car of the Duke of York, Ed
wards heir presumptive, had been
seen entering a side entrance of the
estate.
