Toys for Tots Marine project seeks donations for 3000 children
Marine reservists from Rockdale's sixth 155 mm howitzer battery plan the Toys for Tots Christmas drive. They seek discarded toys in good or repairable condition, aiming to help about 3,000 youngsters this season, with last year's effort yielding over 16,000 items. Inmates at the Collins Street penitentiary refurbish toys under Warden Joseph Ragen to ready them for distribution. Captain Robert W. Jones notes expected high demand and asks donors to bring toys to the U S Naval Reserve training center Rockdale or to Sunoco stations Straka cleaning stations or Route Men for Straka.
