Collect Toys
For "Others"
On Christmas

The US. Marines will add color
and spice to the annual Christmas
Toy collection sponsored each glad
Christmas season by the Kiwanis
Clubs of Cuyahoga County, the
Volunteers of America and the
Shell Oil station operators.
Chairman of the East Cleveland
participation in the collection is DR..
Felix l. Kelley with offices in the
Euclid Superior shopping center,
1927 Superior ave.
Under the slogan "Toys for
Tots" the combined efforts of these
mighty individual groups will be
geared to one goal: a toy to put
stars in the eyes of every less for
tunate child this coming Christmas
morning,
Any Shell Oil Station in the
county will gladly accept your con-
tribution. Just take a good look
about the house. If you have ever
had any small fry about the place
you are certain to find a discarded
toy or more stuck away in the at
tic, basement, utility room or ga
rage. Dig it out. Put it in your
car. Drop it off at your neighbor-
hood Shell dealer.
Small toys, says DR.. Kelley,
should be in good condition. There
isn't much one can do to repair a
Mickey Mouse, for example. But
major toys, bicycle for example,
needing a repair or a re-paint job
will be welcome. The sponsoring
men are ready with paint cans and
tool kits, odd screws and bolts etc,
they await your contribution.
Officially, the toy collection
starts Monday, November 28th.
But don't hesitate to bring that
scooter or wagon or doll or engine
to your Shell dealer earlier, if it
is more convenient for you to do so.
The sooner the toys start coming
in, the sooner the renovation and
classification can get underway.
Distribution of the toys will be
under the supervision of the Volun-
teers of America, experienced in
this spreading of happiness to many
unfortunate little boys and girls.

I I'll A L
IN East Cleveland

In counting our blessings this
Thanksgiving Day it is well to
give thanks for the privilege of
living in the best nation on the
face of the earth. In a nation
where the dignity of man is re-
spected, where one may worship
as ones conscience dictates, where
there is every opportunity for ad-
yancement, and where one may
cast his vote to determine who
those in authority shall be. What
would life be without any one OF
all of these things?
Tomorrow your mail carrier
regardless of the weather will call
twice at your door. Once with
Uncle Sans mail and once with
an envelope into which you tuck
a coin to add your bit to research
for the aid of muscular dystrophy
patients.
A grateful "Thanks" to all Of
YOU who have helped to make pos
sible this two-day-earlier-than-
usual issue of your Home Town
paper. Two issues in less than a
week could not have been accom-
plished otherwise.
Always one is surprised with the
skills, the poise, the willingness OF
young people. Last Friday nights
Kiwanis Talent Show was a joy to
behold. The community's appreci-
alton goes out to sponsor and
participant for a show we'll done.
Proceeds go into the clubs Boys
and Girls Work right here in East
Cleveland.
Are you shopping for toys this
Christmas ? Then you are the per-
son to read this squib: Check
around the house and see which
TOYS there can be spared for child
whose Christmas might otherwise
be toyless. There's a box at the

The high winds of last week or
50 have certainly played havoc with
litter and leaves. Leaves one can't
do much about, but litter q. that
is another matter. Anyone noting
the trash collected and swirled
around and left in heaps and piles
in certain spots have the litterbugs
to thank. If the trash wasn't
tossed into the street or on the
sidewalk, it wouldn't be there for
the wind to swirl about. In places
where the wind currents sweep
through the results were certainly
disgusting.
In Canada, reports one East
Clevelander who learned through
experience, not only is a litterbug
fined, but any person who fails to
pick up a piece of litter he passes
becomes a violator, regardless OF
who tossed the litter in the first
place.
It has been suggested that citi-
zens weary of litter band them
selves together for a cleanup cru
sade whose first rule would be to
speak to every litterbug caught in
the act, suggesting they pickup the
offending litter and place it in a
waste can or carry it home via
pocket or purse.
Any suggestions?
May you have a happy Thanks
