Councils Toy
Drive Clicks

Christmas was a merry one for
1853 boys and girls of this neigh
borhood because of the NORTH
WEST ENTERPRISE Jackson st
Council toy drive, which was com.
pleted last week. Parents Of the
children selected gifts at the Coun-
Gil office last Wednesday, Thurs
day and Friday, in plenty time to
get them wrapped and ready for
Christmas morning.
Between so and go small items,
mostly cars, games and pull toys,
| but all in perfect condition, were
left over and will be distributed
to schools, nursery schools, and
neighborhood centers in the area
on January 2.
Parents are delighted with the
gifts whose bright paint made a
colorful display. Large toys such
as wagons, wheelbarrows,, dump
trucks and doll furniture disap-
peared the first hour and there
were only half as many dolls as
were needed. Tricycles, scooters,
large wagons, and a small bicycle
were given to selected children who
were known to have special needs
for toys of this kind.
Rev. B. H. Oda, the man who
played Santa Claus to the neigh
borhood by spending hours in re-
pairing toys, has indicated that he
intends to continue the project
on a year around basis.
OLD toys that have been replaced
by new Christmas gifts will be
gladly received at any time at the
Nichiren Buddhist Church, 1912
Weller Street, or a phone call to
the Council office, Ell 1850, will
still bring someone to pick up
your box.
Groups of individuals wishing
to put in an afternoon or evening
working on a repair project may
do so by calling Rev. Oda at CA.
9917. Many articles had to be set
aside this year because they came
in too late to be completed by
December Is. Rev Oda estimates
that with adequate time more than
twice as many gifts could have
been finished. It is for this reason
that he wants to start right after
New Years to work on the supply
for next Christmas.

Our Police

Scarcely five years have passed since Seattle po

recall the case.
The citizens of Seattle do not want to Incl
dent of this kind repeated The citizens of Seattle
do not want law enforcement agency running
roughshod over its citizenry any part thereof.
There have been brought to the attention of this
organ various cases of ms-handing of persons by
officers of the law during the process of arrestg
law violators and to the extent of molesting
respectable citizens in the jackson Street district
Persons who have been taken to the Seattle City
Jail speak knowingly of the "ruffing up and
"going over usually administered behind the
closed doors of the elevator between the 1st and
9TH floors by accompanying officers of the law.
We have been informed that ''gentleman's
agreement among the boys usually reegates
this "going over' to the abdominal regions of the
body where no discriminating marks will be left.
1t is reported that numerous respectable
citizens have been aoosted in the Jackson Street
district and in respectable places of business by an
officer of the law to roll up their sleeves for in
spection' by an ostensbly self-appointed oneman
narcotics squad
Primarily, the Police Department of Seattle is
commendable organization. Vice in the city has
been greatly reduced under the present administra-
ton OF that we are quite proud
Nevertheless we cannot afford to ignore the
acts of violence and disrespect committed by few
members of the force patrolng certain Districts nor
allow them to continue and cause embarrassment to
the entire department.
The same courteous and efficient law enforce
ment protection should be afforded all parts OF the
city.

You'd never know he's around,
Doran commented, land he's just

scoring because our defense is
based on getting the ball into him

two points"
Kessler is no one-man team by
any means. Les McMenamin and

too. But Bob is the Presidents

There's little good news for GW's
