In Huron the William Reaves Post of the American Legion distributes toys to hundreds of poverty touched children. Volunteers gathered discarded toys, with DeLivery Service Company and the National Youth Administration helping restore and deliver them. Project supervisor George Morse led the effort with school officials, relief groups, and Legion Auxiliary wrapping packages. About 55 dollars from the post treasury financed candy nuts and boxes to accompany toys.
