KICKING OFF “Toys for Tots” for Carrollton B&PW
were (L-R): Marine Sgts. McWilliams and Kinslow, Jane
Carver, Jimmie Hall, Marianne Sullivan, Sheila Turner,
Carolyn Godfrey, Evelyn Curtis, and Nettie Rawlings,
civic participation chairman.
TOYS FOR TOTS
PROGRAM STARTS
The Carrollton B&PW Club, as
part of its program of civic par-
ticipation, is working with the
Marine Corps Reserve unit in
Dallas to collect new and good
toys for needy children this
Christmas.
Three Marines attached to the
Second Battalion, 14th Marines, at
the Bachman Lake Training Cen-
ter, brought out three “Toys for
Tots’’ barrels last week and placed
■them in front of the Carrollton
Fire Station, at the corner of Col-
lege and Broadway.
The club feels sure that there
are many good, repairable toys
lying forgotten in closets and at-
tics and hopes that all who have
such will take a few minutes to
get them out and bring them to
the barrels at the fire station, so
that they can be made available to
children to whom they would
mean so much.
The barrels will remain at the
station until shortly before Christ-
mas, when the Marines will pick
them up, repair those in need of it
and turn them over to the Salva-
tion Army for distribution to
needy children.
