TOYS FOR XMAS
Firemen Complete Renovation
of Toys For Giving
Christmas Eve
MANY ASSIST IN WORK

1t would be impossible to estim-
ate the number or enumerate the
kinds of toys which have been as
sembled by the volunteer firemen
for giving on Christmas Eve to
children of this area. They have
been arranged around large
lighted tree in a room on the Sec
ond floor of the fire house and are
a glowing tribute to the men and
the women who have assisted them
so that children may be made
happy at this season. Red is the
predominating color, as it should
be, and it has been used on many
large toys, such as tricycles, scoot-
ers, fire engines, fire chiefs car,
furniture, wheelbarrows, tractors,
and all kind of toys on wheels,
which delight the hearts of young
children.
Many Games and Toys
Games are stacked about in box
es, many boxes containing new
tractors and balers, which have
been given the firemen for gift
giving. Fascinating roller coast
ers and ferris wheels, exact dupli-
Gates in metal of the real ones
seen at carnivals highlight the ex-
hibition of toys, and metal doll
house will bring joy to some little
girl. The dolls cannot be number
ed, and are of all sorts, including
dolls of beauty and the stuffed
dolls for the very young. There
will not be little girl who wishes
for a doll who will find her wish
unfulfilled. There are hundreds
and hundreds of small toys of all
sorts, and airplanes and wheeled
playthings; as well as drums, tops,
and horns for merry-making on
Christmas morning.
To Deliver Fruit and Candy
On Christmas Eve the firemen
will start delivering the toys, not
only one to child, but stack of
toys, with oranges, apples, candy
and nuts added. The men will
leave their gifts in Smyrna, Leip-
sic, Blackbird, Kenton, Taylor's
Bridge, and all of the rural area
covered by the school district.
They have list of more than two
hundred names of lucky children.
In town the gifts will be piled on
fire engines for delivery and in the
country they Will be handled in
trucks and cars

in the hands of a committee in
cluding Homer Shorts, Harry
Shortt, and Albert O'Neal, Jr.
They have had the assistance of
many individual givers, the work
of women in the cleaning and
dressing of dolls. They also were
supported by the management of
the Smyrna Theatre by toy mat
inee, to which children brought
toys for renovation and return
ishing.

| third year that such test had
been conducted in the county.
However, they pointed out that
in the past, local farmers have
failed to take advantage of this
service and they are hopeful that
this year they receive better CO.
operation.
DR.. d. j. Corkhill, u. S. De-
partment of Agriculture, relative
to the situation in Noble county,
has the following to say:
I'VE have found that many
farmers do not know how the
state of Ohio conducts this test
ing. First of all there is no COM
pulsory testing for brucellosis.
tuberculosis testing is compul-
sory). Milk samples are collect
ed by men in each township; if
the farmer does not wish to sub
NIT a milk sample, he merely
states this fact. If a sample is
submitted, the farmer need not
have his cattle bled to find the
infected animal, if one exists in
his herd. If blood samples are
collected and infection is found
in his herd, he need not if he
does not wish to, sell the animal
for beef, but he can keep them
on his farm.
I'VE are trying to impress the
farmer that he is the sole judge
of what he ought to do to con-
troll brucellosis in his herd. This
testing is for his benefit alone.
The expenses incurred, however,
are all paid by the State of
Ohio, except for a small county
expense while the mobile labora-
tory is in the territory.
MANY people ask, why both
er with brucellosis?' 1t has re-
Gently been shown that besides
the ordinary symptoms of undul-
ant fever, Brucella can cause
Arthritis, a tubercular-like con-
dition of the lung, intestinal
ulcers, sterility, internal abcesses
in all organs and other less COM
mon LESSONS.
Losses in calves, milk, and
poor conception rates because of
brucellosis cost the American
farmer fifty million dollars an
nually. And in spite of these ap-
palling facts and figures there are
some farmers in Noble county
reluctant to have their cattle
tested. Why jeopardize your herd,
your livelihood, and even your
health by ignoring brucellosis.
If it is impossible for you to
submit a milk sample (beef or
dry herds) or if you have sub
mitted a milk sample and it is
negative, but you still wish to
have your herd tested, contact
your milk collector, county agent
or local veterinarian" DR.. Cork
hill concluded.
