Toy Drive Under Way as Scouts Collect For Needy
Boy Scouts in the city launch Toy Pick-Up week to gather gifts for Christmas. Each troop covers a district with provided maps, and a Scout civic service committee led by Reginald Figge coordinates a truck from Scout headquarters to collect toys and deliver them to the Central fire station workshop. Firemen also seek toys offered directly by residents. The Scouts gain an extra school vacation day for participation.
