Public Decided.

All each person has to do is get a
new toy, choose the picture he wants
most to see and be at the theater
at 10 am. Saturday.
When the war dimmed all other
considerations, decision had to be
made about the -'toy matinees." !"
The public made that decision.
AS one woman wrote:
Il think this year more than any
year before, the poor children should
be thought Of After all, the chill
dren should not suffer because we
are in war. Every ones heart is
heavy, and especially among the
poor. At least we can help them
have a pleasant Christmas and I
do not think that the day when the
children bring gifts to a movie mat
inee should be abandoned as this
day is one when the children get the
thrill of giving something, knowing
the happiness it will give the poor
children"
As soon as the matinees are over,
trucks will speed the toys to the
toy center set up by the Citizens
Christmas Committee. After the
toys are sorted, they are sent on
their way to fill the empty stockings
of children whose parents cannot
afford the special things that make
Christmas for a child.
Plenty Of Opportunity.

any time, the lobby of every Warner
